Been trying to implement some more reactive elements lately.
Here's a little prototype for responsive fireflies, avoiding the player. Feels quite nice to interact with and adds a lot of life to the world.

Started doing a few simple props and exporting them from MagicaVoxel to Unreal. Here's a cable made with Niagara that fills the length with small cubes and sways a bit in the air. 🧊

A look inside my gameplay gym!
Carrying a Keystone with the attribute Preserve calms down to unstable environment, the planet doesn't really want you there - but having a little part of it with you helps.

Here's a short little summary of what I've added to my puzzle project over the past month. A lot of cool stuff spanning from scrubbing through cached Chaos simulations to carving out caves with dynamic meshes.
Thank you for watching! 🍻

Bonus video of the spline in action, which I'm using to make the throws more consistent.

Back from a little break! ☕
Held objects now follow the motion of the voxel characters proc anims. Giving it all a little bit more life. A big commit, but happy where it is going!

A little look behind the scenes.
Spent a lot of time and effort making the carried object collision feel smooth together with the character movement and preventing it from clipping into geometry.
Happy with the result!

Probably the most satisfying feeling of the project so far, seeing keystones crumble.

Made a cave/path sculpting tool to complement the cliffs. Easy to control the shape of the cave and the direction of the path.

Pressure plate progression prototype, displayed by a series of light sources to communicate connections made between objects. Quite like this approach, adds a bit of life to each scene. What do you think?

Blockout of an early moment for my little puzzle game, introducing navigational puzzle elements. Trying to establish a solid scale for the islands in combination with pacing out the puzzle prototypes. 👨🚀

One small step for him, a giant leap for me 👨🚀
Made some good progress for the procedural animations using a control rig, for my little voxel character. Can now take smaller steps when turning in place, based on the input velocity.

A bit more functionality in place for my little puzzle game. Dynamic environment reacting to the presence of the player. Carrying a keystone stabilizes the bridge, which lets the astronaut pass.

You shall not pass! 🧙♂️
This is coming along nicely! I'm using the distance between the character and the object as an alpha to scrub through a sequence with a cached chaos simulation.

Very proud of this tool, for blocking out islands and cliff formations using Geometry Scripting. Easy to shape using a spline and automatically applies slopes.
