I put together a little trailer for our Steam store page.
The project is basically done at this point and I'm super stoked to finally release it soon!

I cannot overstate just how awful this stupid fucking bill proposal is

- adding backdoors into encryption on OS level
- "sniff" every single message before it gets encrypted AND SAVE IT CENTRALLY
- let a goddamn hallucinating "AI" mark people as criminals

it needs to be stopped, post haste

I finally finished my deep-dive article on DOGWALK, like I promised :D
All about making a playable character in Godot with a choppy animation style! Plenty of visual examples & code snippets! Took quite a while to put together.

When it comes to the AnimationTree on DOGWALK, we barely used any blending. It suited the stop-motion style to instantly switch animation states and use one-shot animation nodes.

This is an early version in the video (we had dozens of animations in the end),

I'm really working to make Wild Cosmos a polished experience and hope players will notice.

If you like what I make, simply sharing it around helps greatly.

I don't have a dedicated budget for the game, I'm making it in my free time, this game could be my stepping stone for future projects.

Implementing stop-motion style animation for DOGWALK was fascinating.
We animated the characters on 2s (meaning 12 fps).
To make the movement sync up I made sure the animation blending & character rotation is matching that, instead of just using linear interpolation!

Big shout-out to @nozomugames.com for the line collision code sample and @majormcdoom.bsky.social for the 3D Line plugin!
Really helped a lot in getting DOGWALK development started fast. Maybe one day we can make the leash look a bit better :D

For prototyping it was fun to use 3D Sprites as fast and easy placeholders of characters and their states.
A valid style on its own. Maybe one day :D
But it was better than just colored cubes for communicating ideas.

This is the earliest mockup of DOGWALK from November last year! Just my crude animation to pitch the idea to the team.
It's crazy how much imagination and faith is still involved to see the final game in this haha

Working on a lot of bug fixes for Project DogWalk at this point.
Currently waiting for access to the Steam page :3

Also wondering what I could be posting about. Now there's finally time to do more writing and making-of material!

Like any animation project, a game needs good rigging - or at least, rigs that work! 🦴 Animation director (and interim rigger) Hjalti goes over his process... lessons learned!
