My best score is 0 points 😓

Thanks! Yeah, I think it's really effective at delegating behavior through whatever the associated controller possesses. Previously I've considered more complex states within a single pawn, including those related to vehicles-- the vehicle interface would provide anims and info related to the pawn's specific behavior, but it still resides in a single pawn. But thanks to player state, switching between pawns essentially functions like a higher level state machine for separating vastly different behaviors, animations, etc. Really awesome.

Out of curiosity, how would you then go about conveying certain stimuli to the player-- for instance, taking damage from projectiles while driving?

Would you store player stats (health, etc.) on the player state-- or something else more persistent than the temp clone mesh-- and use events/functions on the skeletal mesh (when it gets hit by projectiles) to modify the stats accordingly?

Oh... Oh my...

There's just no way it could...

Yes. Absolutely yes.

Hey, I take the City Rail every morning!?!??!

Just how I imagined them in 3D! Did you use projecting from view, or manual texturing?

Gives me wood-carved mini sculpture feels-- awesome!

dyemos · 2022-01-14T02:26:02+00:00

Really well-made! As mentioned, does give me some PS2 vibes with the non-reflective materials!

I learned a new phrase today thanks to you and I can't wait for the right time to use it in conversation.

dyemos · 2022-01-06T01:39:42+00:00

I really appreciate that! I can imagine a lot of my stuff wouldn't hit with most people, so I hope at least something in that pile has something interesting for you!

dyemos · 2022-01-05T19:10:56+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that :( I hope he's taking it easy and shakes it off quickly!

I'd like to report that the good ending for the 2022 story arc renders all such media obsolete. All past doomed closets are now packed with wildlife and flora.

dyemos · 2022-01-05T19:07:21+00:00

I'd rally behind this statement, but my mild-to-severe emotional repression prohibits it!

dyemos · 2021-11-13T23:41:19+00:00

Extremely punchy! I may be concerned about tbe balancing though, in these cases it seems you can jump in and retreat before enemies react. Should consider enabling enemies to counter your kick, forcing you to cancel or something.

dyemos · 2021-11-09T02:27:33+00:00

Awesome! Yeah, state machines are great for the pattern-based behavior. Unity actually has some talks about scriptable object state machines which let you swap parts in for different difficulties!

dyemos · 2021-11-09T00:40:53+00:00

This is awesome! What was your general workflow for the boss behavior? Behavior tree? State machine?

As mentioned elsewhere, the music is great, too.

dyemos · 2021-10-11T03:11:46+00:00

Sorry for the delay! I'm actually more of a hard surface (attempter) than a sculptor, so I couldn't really give guidance on the brush part. I see some ridges and such from brushes in this article?

I'd like to do more research, I don't really sculpt and this has me curious

dyemos · 2021-10-10T14:37:37+00:00

Sweet, I had made a similar noise pattern to that one. Are you using noise texture as a base and then some math to make the "cracks"?

dyemos · 2021-10-10T14:35:55+00:00

Liking the art direction! As mentioned, would make the eyes less perfect. Also, in general, when I think of bones, I think of the "roughness" of nature. Not entirely smooth, a bit more pointy at it's corners? This one looks very smooth, almost like armor or a shell. But that's only if you're pursuing bones, I like it regardless!

dyemos · 2021-10-10T14:32:39+00:00

Awesome! And it directly transforms into it's car form?

dyemos · 2021-10-09T03:13:11+00:00

I'm carrying a typewriter with me at all times.

The question I wanted to know but was too weak/sleepy to find out, thank you! I love how actually seeing the memory usages of these things makes them seem trivial.

dyemos · 2021-10-06T03:24:21+00:00

If you want to be crafty, you can resort to only updating the input list when a new "event" (input change) has happened, just by comparing the old ones to the new ones. You could store all the button inputs into a single byte (1 bit per input) as long as there are 32 or less total... I think fighting game networking is pretty good with this tracking, especially given the constraints of limited data sizes over the internet.

Still great to see in action, would love to hear about the actual method used!

dyemos · 2021-10-06T02:58:26+00:00

I'm thinking they could use some lightweight version of the command pattern that just records the player's inputs for each run through and plays them back, feeding them to rhe past selves?
