There's apparently a joy I never knew existed..... Creating 8 directions of animation (224 frames), only to discover one pose was 10 degrees off so the whole thing wobbles. Oh well, only half a hour of rendering to fix it.

Well now that I've practiced by making a NPC, here's the remake the of the main character.
So er... yeah... about Daz3D.
I decided to teach myself Daz3D tonight.
...This may eventually lead to me creating models for my game, we shall see... I still need to figure out how to export the animation frames. Soon though, soon I won't need a silly inbetweener.. It will be just legit animations.
I've only made half the assets for the next randomly generated area and it already looks crazy!
This area I'm going to experiment more with the blocks themselves having behaviors and particles. I don't see any reason the randomly generated areas can't have moving parts on stuff as well.
I'm considering doing a video series on how I make maps, including collision, lighting and particles. Would anybody be interested? It won't be for the faint of heart as it's going to require the use of... QPlus, QMovement, QMap, QM-Collision Map, QMap Editor, Particle Emitter, Particle Emitter's Online Editor, Community Lighting and an Event Spawner of your choice.
No edits, just gameplay from one area to the next. Plus all my new shiny interface stuff... And I even remember to bolt down the portal so it won't escape this time.
edit: The complete redesign of my player HUD, Time rewind message, mini map and puzzle map.... I'll toss up an animated version later.
I should probably step away from the sparkles... but they're soooooooo shiny!
Anyway stuff of note:
New interface.
The puzzle pieces now a build a puzzle in the upper right corner.
The Nihil is represented by the line with skulls. That represents where the map no longer exists at the moment.
Swag collecting in the new randomly generated area. Now the mini map also shows the randomly generated features... And even illustrates the whole "bubble" system" that I made to manage memory... Though that part's inadvertent. We'll just call that "the fog of war"... Yes, that's what we'll do. Nobody will be the wiser!
The worst part about making custom stuff is, I can't really ask any of you why a second copy of the character randomly appears only when going SW, S, or SE and changing directions. Been bugging me for the last two days. On the plus side, look at the new random map pieces I made while thinking about it.
Here I am writing a jumping collision checker for QMovement's colliders, only to discover QM-Collision Map uses colors, not colliders to determine passability.
Specifically it converts all colors to black, then runs checks to see if it finds a black pixel to stop player movement. Quxios is a mad genius.
Check out my comfy new chair!
It had a lot more parts than I expected.... I wonder if I assembled it correctly...
Closer and closer I get to my intro sequence being finished... I've got the initial fall, the impact, waking up in Omnia, the title comets, meeting your first inhabitant of Omnia. I just need the falling sequence now.
After that I need scenes for sneaking out, watching the meteor shower, and the burning house. Then the first 30-40 minutes or so of game will be finished.
Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy. All this because I needed the character to jump for a cutscene... But it was just so easy to add the other directions in... So I did.
Effekseer 1.53c... vs my "Area 51" test...
This brutal test includes 32 frames of character movement (in each direction)...
1920x1080 resolution
PIXI Bloom Filter
24 continuous 3D Effekseer animations.
36 portals which each cycle 3 Effekseer animations and a PIXI text.
And of course a gross amount of PIXI particles.
Today, I am impressed.
Oh YouTube...You feel like a lot of effort for less impressions than a Tweet...worth it. Still I haven't updated it since I made any of these new maps. Guess I shouldn't totally ignore it.
Playing with my new movement system... So far working pretty good, does a weird thing with Effekseer animations though.
Guess I'll need to study how MZ implements Effekseer effects. Been meaning to do that anyway so I have better access to it's properties.
