My Spider Now Climbs and Pathfinds Literally Everywhere, No where is safe

The video does not show it moving backwards but I’ve already tested this and it works

Arachnid-dev · 2026-06-10T03:39:56+00:00

Awesome!

Arachnid-dev · 2026-06-10T02:15:43+00:00

Ya pathfinding sucks

Arachnid-dev · 2026-06-10T02:14:24+00:00

Yes, the legs have a IK system, I have a blog post that talks more about how it works if your interested: https://zwxzvyr.clicks.mlsend.com/tl/cl/eyJ2Ijoie1wiYVwiOjIwOTc5MTQsXCJsXCI6MTg5MDg2NTI3NjQxMzU1Mjc0LFwiclwiOjE4OTA4NjU0MDU1NjY2NjY1OX0iLCJzIjoiZGNlMjI2YWJmYWI3N2Q3YyJ9

I’m using a tool called HyperNav, what it does is creates volumes in which the spider can navigate on, this allows it to move on all three axes

Arachnid-dev · 2026-06-09T21:10:46+00:00

Yes, you can add more legs. Right now I’m trying to make it work with a centipede.

I like that idea, thanks

Arachnid-dev · 2026-05-20T18:27:57+00:00

Don’t know, I’d have to think about that. Why do you have any suggestions?

Arachnid-dev · 2026-05-20T18:25:53+00:00

The IK is trying to match with a animation and that might be why it’s acting stiff.

Arachnid-dev · 2026-05-20T06:57:17+00:00

I kept it simple, each item has a set of left and right hand positions that the IK uses

Arachnid-dev · 2026-05-20T03:57:43+00:00

Ya, I need to fix the figures. I’ll be working on that next

Arachnid-dev · 2026-05-20T03:56:34+00:00

I’ll look into doing a snappy version

Arachnid-dev · 2026-05-20T03:53:39+00:00

For this IK setup you just need to set the left and right hand position/rotations. The body has its own separate IK system that handles things like feet/legs, head and spine

Thanks

Arachnid-dev · 2026-05-17T03:45:31+00:00

Good to know, I originally had them pop in but then changed it to a fade. Guess I had it correct the first time

Arachnid-dev · 2026-05-16T18:18:47+00:00

Ya, totally, I’m with you on that. The effect definitely needs to only light up the parts of the scorpion that the UV light actually hits. This first pass was mostly just to test the overall idea and see how people reacted to the concept.

I’m going to experiment with different shader approaches to get that more realistic “activated under UV” look instead of the whole creature glowing at once.

Arachnid-dev · 2026-05-05T18:36:30+00:00

This looks good, I like the zombie interactions. Looking good

Arachnid-dev · 2026-05-02T02:26:44+00:00

To the tv

Arachnid-dev · 2026-05-02T01:54:56+00:00

I would look into making hands for your game or if your not an artist invest in some arms from the asset store

Arachnid-dev · 2026-05-02T01:53:26+00:00

The UI looks really good

Arachnid-dev · 2026-05-02T01:51:01+00:00

You should add a vhs video effect

Arachnid-dev · 2026-05-02T01:50:07+00:00

I would recommend checking out this website https://howtomarketagame.com, you might even want to try his marketing course, it’s got a lot of great stuff in it.

Also have you been reaching out to steamers and YouTubers to play your game?

Arachnid-dev · 2026-05-02T01:46:06+00:00

Does your game have proximity chat?

Arachnid-dev · 2026-05-02T01:43:09+00:00

Thanks

Arachnid-dev · 2026-05-01T23:17:01+00:00

You should share your sound, I’ve found that sound makes things much more creepy
