It has been a while since we updated. Sadly, just not making much progress lately. Not completely dead though. We left off working on the interaction between Eddy and the monsters.
The AI in Unreal has been a little awkward with this. Trying to figure out the interrupt and stagger/knockback still. But also the imp did not have much reaction.
So we decided to go back to Blender a bit. Was just going to make a more noticble hit reaction animation but then decided to update the model a little as well. Ended up re-rigging it too.
Here is what it is going to look like now and the Idle animation.
It will probably look a bit different in the actual game but think it looks a little better at least! The glow will definitely be different and it'll also have a bit of particle system magic.
That's it for now. Hopefully we will have more to show soon. Really need to get back to work!
Real life getting in the way of a good time? :) yay for some progress which is better than no progress :D
Does this thing have a very stiff body? Or are you going to give it a little more movement down the line? I am a sucker for glowing things, love some good glow XD The floating rocks around it look really cool!
Thanks!
😅Real life is getting in the way. Always feels good to make progress. Just wish there was more. 😅
It is a little stiff now that you mention it. It is just a minor monster on the first level though so may just leave it for now. Hopefully it is good enough once we get it back in the game.
Always the way, I'm the same with my projects XD
I can't remember what type of game you're making, if it's isometric top down and they're going to come in groups (or even if it's on its own) it's unlikely that people will notice (unless they're like me but I probably notice only because I like animating) and this is perfectly fine :)
It is a 3rd person game. These will only be in little lava pits around the first level though so probably not super important. Small groups.
People will probably notice lots of flaws in the game haha. Just hope it gets finished more than perfected at this point. But maybe there will be clean up time in the end. 😄
Hey the early alpha release is quite popular these days so you can always just go with that right :)
😅You are not wrong. 😅
I think that's a nice idle animation; it's definitely "breathing," so to speak, without being in the way and distracting.
Thanks!
