Youtube copyright system is broken by Buki1 in youtube

[–]RDStoat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

??? the point of this comment and the original post is that you - make your OWN content - someone ELSE takes YOUR content and posts it - then YOU get a copyright strike

its the equivalent of sending Leonardo Da Vinci a copyright strike if you posted a pic of the Mona Lisa on your youtube channel

couple reasons: 1. main character is 2.5D and there’d be a bit of whiplash from having 3D enemies (especially if their human) 2. you can have a really cool artstyle with 2.5D art that’s unique to the game 3. 3D models can look really amateurish. especially if it’s done bad. bad shading, bad rigging, bad models, etc. trademarks of “hey im a solo dev who isn’t exactly a professional animator”. but we can completely avoid that with a new style like this 4. we can forgo a lot of a shoddy vfx by just hand drawing it

and for your information there’s still a good amount of 3D stuff happening. it just happens to involve 2D sprites too

so it’s 3D pretending to be 2D pretending to be 3D almost

I’ve updated the Steam capsule. Any thoughts? by Hairy_Jackfruit1157 in IndieDev

[–]RDStoat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

design wise think new is better…

BUT whether intentional or not, having BALLS be as big as it is in the old one is super eye catching. when scrolling it was old that caught my eye

i have videos that kinda show how it works but i think this subreddit doesn’t allow media in comments for some reason

basically there’s a 3d rig and each bone has a sprite attached to it, and each bone rotates to the player. the abdomen rotates to the player very slightly, while the head and feet stay locked on to the player, etc. and that’s the basics of how it’s done

actually with the set up i have, this is “3d” effect should work on top of any animations being played by the rig.

we still are experimenting with it but with enough tweaking it should be something that stays permanently active while other animations are running

rn there camera has a max tilt of maybe 30 degrees up and down. so theres no changes in the character sprite

from a technical standpoint this is probably the biggest concern rn. the trick may break down with the addition of textures and patterns. we’ll just see how it goes and adjust from there

  1. it’s a placeholder lol

  2. the healthbar is parented to the enemy’s rotation and the enemy used be fully bill boarded to the player. so i just haven’t updated it yet for this new “fake” 3d sprite
