then you can play these sequences however you like. just like normal animations. here i added it to a flick trick input system

i created a physics based animation system. you pretty much keyframe the target rotations of the joints and then save each pose one by one. Then just play them in a sequence

working on own stuff again took a bit.
last year i released a game - Backyard Beans - that didnt sold at all, Pigeon Simulator being in the limbo for ages now, so i dont think i see any money from that too. Which is both very frustating, ngl

its been pretty quite here right? so i just wanted to give a little sign of life. At the beginning of the year I got laid off from bossa studios along many others, but i found a new place pretty quick. Its been great so far.

I even started working on some new shit again. quick preview:

I just made a little turnbased web game with threejs and playroom. just to learn something new. And you could just recompile the code while the game was running and it was just working afterwards with all you changes!

I had a lot of fun making the website. I guess mostly because it was something different where you dont have to watch the unity recompile loading bar for 2 minutes, then let the character Jump on something, see that its not working and then do the same thing 100 times again

getting there, got the detail view and some kind of video gallery done now :)

right. there are actually 3 things going on:
1 - the camera target is a point between character and the white sphere(mouse target)
2 - the camera zoomes out when the mouse target is further away from the player
3 - the camera tilts to more top down, the further the mouse target is from the player

the one thing that fucked my brain for some time was to create a plane around the pool and punch the shape into it. clipperLib and chatgpt for the rescue tho

here is another mesh generator i did for the skate game.
a (skate) pool generator.

you can pretty much place curves and line tiles on a grid, and then the mesh gets created for it. its much easier to create precisely shaped bowls then using the freehand tool i showed before. #gamedev
