    There’s something really vindicating about seeing someone take the name “Withersworn” and then deliver on it. Lots of people take cool names and just produce crap, but I don’t see that here

  • @DawnTyrantEo
    @DawnTyrantEo Год назад +47

    A small addition that might be useful- in real life, you can study animals with kinematics, and there's often particular laws that they follow while moving around. For example, many have particular shapes to how they move; a border collie moves its front feet in a rectangle and its back feet in a squished-front oval, from a quick look at a graph. Looking up 'animal foot trajectory graph' might be useful for adding one or two extra 'goal' points to foot movement IK, with 'animal' optionally switched out for whatever might be useful as a reference (e.g 'insect'), or 'animal kinematics graph' if it's something more general.

    Dude! That spider like creature's movement is infinitely better than I've seen in most games, super smooth, turns directions very realistically and doesn't have that 'animation' like movement. Nothing breaks immersion more than an enemy who has clearly scripted movements.

  • @pixelmade42
    @pixelmade42 Год назад +21

    My favorite example of procedural animation is rain world. Its AI, its collision, everything is run by it. It goes to the extreme that EVERY SINGLE THING IN THE GAME is procedurally animated, from your character to your enemies to every story character. And it does it wonderfully. A balance is good, but in the right situations, even extreme ends of the spectrum can be great. Sorry I'm autistic, heard "procedural animation," and neurons started firing lol

    Yesssss! I feel like there is so much unbelievably AWESOME unrealised potential in procedural animation for the future of videogames. Was one of the things that put me onto Rainworld, super cool and well done there (also the dynamic ecosystem!!🤓🥵). But I've always fantasised though about advanced procedural animation in 3D videogames. Was just modding Skyrim and like, imagine if the dragons flew around and were animated procedurally. Like they could move more looking like uncannily realistic winged lizards, chasing and weeding out enemies out of burning villages like an anteater on an ant hill, flying into grappling onto and curling around trees like a goanna, claws adjusting to the city walls and it recoils roars, gets aggravated or flees after being pierced by a well placed arrow between the scales. Bruh. And having sophisticated AI to guide creature and npc decision making and behaviour. It's like all a whole new unimaginable level of interactivity and omgg. Talk about immersion mods. This shit would be just 🤯 out of the stratosphere, and may very well be one of the next major advancements forward in the space of videogames and adjacent digital technologies, along of course with artificial intelligence and whatnot.
    So exciting to see you making these videos, and especially as a single developer, genuinely impressive and awesome work comrade! 🙌🔥
