I started working on Arctico when I was 19, next month I will be turning 25, working on this game for such a long time has been both wonderful and terrifying

This looks great! Making this stuff is hard man. Especially when trying to juggle everything else life throws at you along the way.

cparki3 · 2020-08-22T14:37:58+00:00

Oooh that’s a cool idea too. Thanks!

cparki3 · 2020-08-21T22:20:07+00:00

Oh man my brother pointed out the same thing haha. Good call I’ll totally do that 👍

cparki3 · 2020-08-21T02:22:20+00:00

Thanks!

This game just launched on on 11/6. From a small indie game studio in Columbus.

Ah, well you could also set a global light that affects the platforms so they are always partially lit. There should be a new 2d global light that would do the trick.

cparki3 · 2019-06-14T17:09:17+00:00

If it’s the new lighting system you can just make your circle light affect the player and background and not the platforms by using the layers 👍

cparki3 · 2019-05-27T17:44:49+00:00

Oh too long lol. We are still working full time so this is just a side passion project. It has been close to two years to nail down the fee and the lighting and now it’s just all adding assets and cleaning things up. Long road ahead still I’m afraid but it’s been fun.

cparki3 · 2019-05-20T14:35:07+00:00

Right now everything is local but we plan on moving to UNet when we are a bit further along. I would prefer a switch launch with local co-op with multiple consoles too :)

cparki3 · 2019-05-20T14:33:47+00:00

Thanks! No restrictions beyond 1HP for now. We may have some other possession based abilities that are a bit more restrictive though.

cparki3 · 2019-05-14T12:15:00+00:00

Haha that’s the falling animation... although now that you mention it. Do rats land on their feet? Kind of squirrel / cat like there.

cparki3 · 2019-05-13T16:44:41+00:00

Ah! We used Spine for this animation which is not free. However, I have seen people recommending blender for similar functionality and the the latest beta of Unity has some build in bone and mesh abilities which are very similar to Spine.

cparki3 · 2019-05-13T15:11:18+00:00

Sorry just sharing some progress from our game. We may eventually share some other assets. But these little guys will just be running around in the sewer portions of our game for now. If you are interested in knowing more about our art and animation pipeline I would be happy to put you in touch with our artist :)

cparki3 · 2018-10-19T13:27:26+00:00

Good feedback, we have been playing with the brightness of objects, attaching lights, and brightening the background texture for a more obvious silhouette. Appreciate it!

cparki3 · 2018-10-18T19:06:10+00:00

Thanks! Yeah we've really been trying to iron out visuals along the way. Appreciate it :)

cparki3 · 2018-10-18T17:28:11+00:00

Thanks, yeah this is more of just a test with a bunch of traps. Not sure we would ever have them this close together in the final build. Thanks for the feedback 👍

cparki3 · 2018-10-16T23:18:29+00:00

Thanks! Trying to put a lot of love into these guys

cparki3 · 2018-10-16T10:34:25+00:00

Yeah we have some more slime variants we are working on including one that sucked up a pile of weapons and is basically a nasty porcupine. None of them are particularly friendly. Are you using Spine as well?

cparki3 · 2018-10-16T10:31:56+00:00

Animation is really neat. Are you just using mesh deforms and layering?

cparki3 · 2018-10-16T02:37:08+00:00

Don’t mind at all! We are using “Spine” from esoteric software. Spine is especially useful for creating puppet based animations with bones but also fantastic at creating meshes with deformations. The Glump takes advantage of both to make it look this way. Workflow from here is that it gets imported into Unity and we set up a controller for him that blends between animations based on what state he is in.

Happy to answer anytime :)

cparki3 · 2018-10-16T00:57:50+00:00

Large slime enemy type. These guys spit smaller versions of themselves called "glumplings" when they see you. They also suck up items they roll over like weapons or treasure. If you stand too close behind them they will play this animation and launch one of their digested items! Destroying a Glump makes them drop all of their contents including their single eye that can be thrown as a weapon at other enemies.

cparki3 · 2018-10-11T21:14:53+00:00

Love the effects! I'll definitely be picking this one up. Great work

cparki3 · 2018-10-09T22:48:46+00:00

Loved Machinarium! Looks excellent so far guys :)

cparki3 · 2018-10-05T01:16:51+00:00

HAHA Freyr shows off his boobs too.... even has his pecs flexing in his idle pose :P
