#NoMoreFlatDays | 🏄‍♂️ Implemented a balancing system with procedural animation. Still rough around the edges, but this is super fun to play with! More cool things next week. | #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #IndieGameDev #gaming #madewithunity #indiegame #gameart #surfing

@alphastack1 honestly, same. I hate bugs, it's the only thing that frightens me. no clue why I decided to make a game about bugs.

@416_dc can't tell if I love it or if I want to throw up

New camera for the bug game. World up cam is most stable but on steep slopes & ceilings local cam is useful. Also, early look at terraforming. Can't wait to implement worms so I can give them insane digging ability. Do myriapods even dig? #screenshotsaturday #madewithunity

@ioriamanta thank for noticing. all procedurally animated. I want to do a deep dive on those sometime. especially the foot, I've got foot and heel roll implemented, it's so satisfying to see. I need larger creatures to really showcase these things.

@416_dc Whoa, your softbody anim and physics are absolutely next level.

@Omegapoint111 @kinpraw thanks. yes, i'm having too much fun working on this, I plan to see it to completion.

@416_dc @kinpraw This is incredible. I fucking love it. Please say you’re gonna keep working on it. And yes myriapods dig

@CadenBurleson yes, that's the plan. already have spiders implemented. worms next. then something that flies.

@416_dc This is dope! Are there any other characters you can play as? IDK all the legs are distracting me for some reason.

@wackfpv definitely. I want ants to be one of the ways we communicate to players where hidden goodies may be.

@416_dc What about ants?

@PastySmasher0 torn between coop friendslop, or singleplayer immersive game

@416_dc Oh you really could be cooking here? Whats the game idea currently?

@JLGuerraInfante hmm, that could be tricky since I need to account for up and down in addition to north, south, east, west. definitely doable, and a fun thing to tackle. maybe something like the metroid prime games? although I don't recall if I liked the maps in those games.

@416_dc Do you plan to add a mini map? Could be fun.

@GetLostTheGame analytic based. but a physics based camera sounds interesting, please tell me more.

@AlienBloomGame awesome, my solution looks like a third person version of this one, i.e., blend between local and world up cams depending on the alignment of the surface with world up. do you know if the wall climbing was automatic, or did you have to explicitly go into wall climb mode?

@416_dc AvP 2010 did the xeno wall climbing pretty well once you got used to it, might help with some ideas! youtube.com/watch?v=65AHPP…

@Benzasaur two franchises I love! but yes, spiders are already implemented, and next up is worms and some kind of flying insect.

oh man, I'm loving this so much..the sphere cam idea is brilliant ! I wanna see what the other bugs are added in the future . just because centipedes freak me out. nonetheless this feels like pikmin minecraft bugs life LOL

@PanflipStudio wait till I populate the world with other critters

@416_dc It's so trippy, love it! Looks like the while screen is swarming 🐜🐜🐜

@BigBroStudio369 i'll try!

@416_dc If the music and fx sounded a bit muffled when you go to the underground, that would be insane!

@BigBroStudio369 yes, a fully immersive world. that's the plan.

@AlienBloomGame I'd love to. Animorphs in VR.

@416_dc VR when? lmao

@_DeceptiveGames definitely. my auto cam uses world up when the surface normal is aligned with world up, otherwise it uses local cam. it works pretty well, but local mode needs some low pass filtering otherwise every tiny bump on the surface wobbles the camera.

@416_dc The world-up versus local camera problem sounds fascinating for a bug game. Ceilings and steep slopes make camera stability a real design challenge.

@RealtimeVFXMike Nice. This works on any surface or are you filtering which ones you want this behavior? How do you handle high frequency surfaces? I prefer the stable world up cam in our bug game, but sometimes local up is more desirable so I don't have a nice way to choose one or the other atm.

Character Controller update. More gravity volumes! If the last one didn't make you sick this one is sure to. Need to work on getting the camera to not clip into the world. #GameDev #IndieDev #Unity3D

@Ki_fun_thoughts great suggestion for the camera, and im happy you appreciated the pole climbing, i'm more proud of that than the environment

@416_dc Very nicely done. [ I made many famous games in the 80s/90s ] A trick, subtle, to consider, move the camera such that the direction the centipede is moving is given the most room. The spiral pole climb, cherry!

trying to nail the macro look in our buggy game. when you're the size of a bug, a simple puddle or patch of moss becomes a massive, complex environment. #madewithunity

@Decimator297828 not enough blood circulation

@416_dc Why are its feet blue?

@tylerosborn @PewPewsAlote valid. i actually have a pretty strong macro depth of field effect, but i push the focus distance quite far. i'll play around with the settings.

@PewPewsAlote @416_dc Or I guess a more focused one since I can see it far in the background
