Virvius Update (07/13/21)


Log - 7/13/21

Notes: I worked on a lot of player animations in code, including weapon drop animations when selecting different weapons, holstering the weapon when against the wall, player/weapon bobbing and lerping. I had worked a lot of fixes with swimming and player foot steps, I rigged the level with tag specific collisions that determine the players footstep sound either on metal, wood, water or just the basic footstep sound. I reworked the UI for personal selection, you can choose different UI formats by selecting Minus or Equal Keys. pressing the Keyboard alpha keys now select weapons by ID. You can turn off V-sync in the game by pressing Y key to make it run much smoother if you have a good PC.

Devastation - ATAR (Game Reboot)

Big update to the game visuals and focused on removing older assets put into the project from the start. This update is improved from most of faults from previous builds. The main focus was to initiate a better player experience and visual aspects. 

Take a trip to Nostalgia Land in @JacksonG13 's Sky World 64, a cozy sandbox game that harkens back to the 64-bit era.

This survival experience takes heavy inspiration from Minecraft’s Skyblock!

I just built a new Weapon for Virvius. I called it the Photon Cannon. The weapon animates by opening up and the spinning rotor fires off plasma then closes after with the rotor spinning down. #shooter #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indie #indieDev #retro
