Flying Carpets Games

This weekend I finished an animation system in which the movement speed of a character is based on the animation rather than set in code for a more realistic look.

The following animation may seem basic, but the robot’s speed actually changes each frame to the speed set by the animator at that frame. This is a very good thing since characters don’t always move at a constant speed during their walk cycle. For example, if a character is injured and is limping while walking, his movement speed will need to change a lot during his walk cycle.

Next, I’ll try to mix 2 walk animations cycle (slow and fast) to regulate the walking speed with a controller’s analog stick.

Oh, and thanks to my good friend JF for the place holder animations!

This weekend I made some quick test on importing character animation in the game. Thank you to my friend for the place holder animations.

Hello!

Ok I didn’t do much the last few weeks, but I did manage to finish this spiral tower that connect to the start of the level. The area after is where the real gameplay begins, stay tuned :)

This weekend I made the first video diary about basic camera and hint bubbles; expect a video once in a while to cover more technical stuff! Enjoy!

After two weekends of textures. I’m finally done (or kinda done) with the first small tower. Even if it took some time,  it’s good because every texture I make, I can reuse them later on. I’m starting to like doing hand painted textures and I had lots of fun. Ok, I think this is about 10% of the first level done. I think I’ll take a break from art and go back to scripting for a little while.
