Character customization: How and why bother? (expand)


While we may be busy rewriting the game from the ground up (that's going wonderfully BTW) we have been looking into character customization but weren't really sure how to go about it until now. Either we would have to make tons of sprite sheets and give them each sets of animations which is just tedious.

Instead, we're going with a single set. All our character animations in one place. What we can do however is layer different character pieces on top of each other by overriding the base sprite sheet with pixel information from each set.

Further, in the week we will throw together a proper look at the concept but rest assured we're doing all we can to make a good game :P

working on a new mechanic for the prototype. no need to wander over to those far away items when you can just send in your drone.

VERY early test of very basic systems in my new project. Do your work, keep the lights on, and everything will be fine. I really want to gush about some of the things not seen here, but will save that until they can be shown off. FnafKit who?

I'm currently working on a new game with a team of people. Here's a mannequin being assaulted for test purposes. Gotta do what you gotta do for your damage systems.

Lightweight object recoloring test. This test is looking at coloring defined areas with as little excess data as possible and uses NO mask maps, alternate materials and does not break object batching (won't melt the PC when you have hundreds of swatches!)

Light menu is still undergoing it's refit, some behind the scenes code changes making it easier to edit multiple lights. A light will also toggle on/off depending on its intensity. So custom events don't need to be loaded with two different commands.

Hi everyone, I wanted to put my project back out there after taking some time off. Fnafkit is a game about creating custom fnaf games with no need for programming. I'm also looking for anyone interested in helping out! https://gamejolt.com/games/TKFNAF/444860

Is he a... you know....

Some map progress since yesterday. some arcade cabinet props that just need some textures, tunnels had some more work put into it and the restaurant is slowly being built up.

Our latest efforts have been rewriting our scene change code and with that comes some lovely transitions made using a greyscale image and a new shader.

Tall walls are all modeled and intergrated into the engine and work seamlessly with the previous two wall styles. actual wall skins for this set are incoming. A new test build featuring these changes will follow up soon.
