The character I chose for the visualisation of the animation fixes is a W.A.A.F cook btw - added in the newest Ground of Aces update.

Here with the fixed "drinking alcohol" animation.

Here's a fixed animation that had some other issues; eating. The hands would just go and make an X. Sometimes with #indiegame dev things have to be done quick, so it wasn't implemented properly.
Still it was something that bothered me and is now finally resolved.

Since our characters do now have HPs and can be injured, we've added animation for injuries as well.
But the one we've got for the idle was walking... so I've reduced the motion and added some tweaks. Bottom is masked and using the idle.

One reason for the disappearing parts: we have four body types: "regular", "buff", "thin" and "round". Additionally, since the last update we've added female characters. So while an animation might be totally fine for some characters, arms will disappear for others.

This week I went through the Ground of Aces animations and fixed the most bothering issues through better aligning them to our rig.
Left is old, right is new.
The goal is to have less disappearing body parts no matter the body type.

Stumbled over an old bookmark I saved of the Jumpship (Somerville) Development Blog. Worth a look!!

@olsen.bsky.social shared some nice BTS showing animation, particle effects, visual development.

When I worked on the shots for the B17, I thought it would be fun to do in-between animations - so here we are:
