Friday Bullcrap, less video

No vid, just pics. Today I have this...


And my good friend Jay is currently modeling Beardy, here's a pic of that...


He's around 2400 polys at the moment.

I've already started drawing up items and I'll most likely do another character before going back to the coding/scripting.

Everyone have a good weekend.

Old alien model finally serves purpose!:O

Ok, to test out the model importing in unity, I dug up an old alien I did years ago to throw in there. It's a smooth process for certain, this singular picture is my only proof!


Also, I have completed a model sheet for old Beardy. It's pretty bare bones but will hopefully do the job for now.


I want to get a few more things drawn up before going back to the game script itself. Working on Rabid Cavecoon and some items, such as pickaxes and dynamite.

Dirt B Gone

Right, got the collision working on that "pickaxe" action. So the damage numbers are passed and things will happen. Gif on this!



Working on some concept art, right now I'm working on Beardy's character sheet. Here's some walls.

Friday Bullcrap

Camera Action!

Not as exciting as the title makes it out to be. I got the player camera working. It sits pretty at the 3/4ths overhead and when sight of your character is obstructed, it swings a little closer and higher to give you and overhead vantage. The movement starts out quick and eases in slow. I have a timer on there also that has to count down before it swings back to normal to keep it from bobbing if you are moving behind segmented walls. There may be changes to how this works later of course, but for now it's good to go. I'll most likely show this off on Friday, so until then.

Dumbass.

That's me. I got the collision detection working. My problem, I was translating the object's position using the Transform class instead of using the CharacterController class. Hurf durf! Anyway, I'll most likely work on the game camera next, get it to change it's position on the fly when a wall comes between it and the player.

Here's some progress on Beardy, I think the one on the far right is what form I want him to have. I've been working on boiling him down into simpler shapes, there are some small signs of that in this pic.

Rotation works. Collisions don't.

I know you probably can't read a damn thing on that screen, but you can see the player mock up rotate correctly! I should note that the player object has no downward gravity at the moment, and when it did the collision for the ground box didn't work either. Grrrr.

I'll give this video thing a try every Friday.
