2024 Progress Update!


Dear shipmates,

It's been a while since our last update. On one side we've been busy with real life - holidays, but also moving houses and coordinating the entire shebang - but on the other side we've labored and sweated to nail down dipole NPC physics and human NPC walking behavior. This took quite some time as it turns out that the physics of walking is a bad fit for simple mechanical-dynamics simulations, but all in all we're quite there...mostly.

No seriously, we've reached some quite good results, judge for yourselves (and be sure to blast the speakers up!):

Now it's time to start working on animating the NPCs! On this topic we have identified a couple of options that we want to explore - frame-based animating and limb-based animating. We'll take some time to try both and pick a winner - stay tuned for the results in the next update!

Gabe

Shoobies leave a sticky trail of mucus in their wake, which can impede movement for any creature that steps in it.

Here's a peaceful little forest scene for this #screenshotsaturday, from the beginning of the game.

Today I was setting up the location of the first boss. His name is "Father" and he is the first of the Patagonians. His task is to guard the road to the House.🛡🗡 Bookmark pre-launch page🔖🔖🔖

Quantum precognition is one of the most powerful cards. End game cards & equipment. Demo/alpha build boss is no match for this deck.

Sometimes the suction cup get sticky. Small animation I made in Blender after doing my tutorial on picking up/dropping objects in animations. Crate model by jQueary (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/game-ready-sci-fi-crate-d98deca6…).
