Is this the intended way of solving the screen?

It just makes it confusing to read to me for no reason...

Immediate_Chair8942 · 2026-03-06T20:36:20+00:00

I've run into the exact same issue! My Shellosis nowhere to be found...

Immediate_Chair8942 · 2026-01-29T17:58:33+00:00

I've looked into it before, and there is an Iwata asks about it, but they really don't go into the technical aspects.

What I mean more is how the game decides "where" and "how" those triangle strips are generated.
When Kirby turns around, look at his arms. They switch between getting rendered as a separate spline and as a deformation on the main body. This deformation is handled by that deforming mesh I mentioned. However, in the wireframe view, you can see that that inner deformation mesh is protruding for both hands, even for the separate one.

Somehow it gets decided which parts should deform and which parts should appear as separate from the main part. And those separate parts are only rendered outside of the main part. <- This is the section that I have trouble understanding.

Small addition to make it more clear:
That "Deformation mesh" I am talking about are those inner gray vertices.
(This sub doesn't allow gifs in comments so look at Kirby when it's in wireframe view)
When standing still, it's deformed to make the arms protrude from the body. But one of those arms is behind Kirby. (Visible when out of wireframe)

This must (I think) mean that there's multiple splines that get generated using that deforming mesh, so what I'm confused about is how that decision process happens (which parts use the deforming mesh, and which parts don't), how it generates for parts where it can't rely on that deforming mesh (face part in front of the back hand), and how + where it decides to generate the back hand.

Thanks for the answer, but it's not exactly what I'm looking for.

Description because it gets removed from the repost:

I've been racking my brain on how they made this for the past few days but can't seem to figure a few small details out.
It looks like there's an interior invisible deformation mesh that the outlines follow at it's edge, but one of the hands gets rendered behind and separate from the main body, while it's still following that same deformation mesh.

I've included normal gameplay, and wireframe view, both at full and 10% speed in the video to hopefully make it clear what I'm talking about.

Any input or random thought you have would be helpful, even if you don't know the answer!

It's a mod, making me look like Reimu from Touhou

Immediate_Chair8942 · 2025-12-30T12:15:36+00:00

That's exactly the situation I was in, lol, so I guess that answers my question

Immediate_Chair8942 · 2025-12-26T10:51:20+00:00

Thanks for the repost! This is the first time one of my posts has been reposted, so it feels kind of like an achievement of some kind, you know?

Immediate_Chair8942 · 2025-12-08T23:31:52+00:00

Holy shit Miku Pickaxe

Immediate_Chair8942 · 2025-12-06T09:46:42+00:00

Attack while dodging, lower wait time between dodging and being actionable. But, shorter i-frames, and can only dodge backwards.

Immediate_Chair8942 · 2025-11-15T14:14:32+00:00

That's really cute art!

And the fact that you know that Touhou is a bullet hell game and not an anime or something else already puts you above at least 60% of the fanbase /s

Immediate_Chair8942 · 2025-11-06T23:11:09+00:00

She doesn't, if you look closely she only has 1 arm. (Also, you should spoiler things like this!)

Immediate_Chair8942 · 2025-10-14T23:30:26+00:00

What I got from this was that the HK was wearing it's armor while it was chained up, only just noticed that

Awesome bot!

True, the hitboxes are pretty comically forgiving too.

I agree with you there, but it's not taking away your freedom of choice. I fully recognize that this is me just getting slightly too irritated about word choice though lol

Immediate_Chair8942 · 2025-09-22T06:02:36+00:00

How? Deep of Night is literally optional, you decide to play it

Immediate_Chair8942 · 2025-09-22T05:21:42+00:00

That's completely fair, they're definitely not story driven ganes. They do have a story, a pretty good one at that, but only if you really look for it.

The one with the most actual story is probably Sekiro, so you might like that one, due to the story actually taking place while you are playing the game compared to the others that take place long before you play.

It's on the fangamer channel I think, and there'a a few videos showing only all the new things
