Coding & Misc Finished polishing the Broadcast, Threaten, Friendly, and Surrender calls for T3 Fire Dragon. Animated the animation for T3 Fire Dragon's Broadcast. You saw this on Bluesky last week! Generally improved takeoff logic and interactions. These changes all work together to make takeoff feel less clunky. Moved the end of takeoff to be while still on the ground rather than in flight. Extended the initial boost of takeoff over a period of time rather than on the first frame. Implemented various utility functions to help with fixed-length impulses (such as flapping and takeoff boosts). Adjusted the "vertical push" of takeoff to help with feel when taking off from a lower point. Added in logic and animations for stationary takeoff (the only revealed wyrm who uses this is Levin). Introduced basic raycasting logic for flight collisions. Implemented a straightforward algorithm for deterministic raycasting based on player state. Raycasting depends on tucking, diving, and flapping, but not braking Added in wyrm-specific logic for selecting ray angles and variations to help with different wing shapes. Will likely be adjusted depending on the wyrm and testing results. Implemented basic collision modes detection depending on hit point, angle, and speed. The effects of collisions are still WIP. Flight crashes still work as intended, and the player can now crash with a fast-enough wing clip. Implemented injured fall behavior for hard flight crashes. Raycasts essentially help the game "see" where your wings are during flight. We've visually represented these raycasts with red, yellow, and green lines (this is of course just for testing and not gameplay). Collisions with these lines will have different results. Green: Softer hit, likely a clip. Yellow: Harder hit. Red: Hardest hit, possibly a crash. As you can see, this allows players to pull off interesting maneuvers such as wing tucking in tight spaces to avoid wing collision. The space between the lines and the body is somewhat exaggerated for demonstration. This is intended to be synchronized across machines, so the traces may not perfectly match animations. The key difference is that we can calculate the raytrace angle based on clock time rather than frame count or other actions, so the result on the server will be exactly the same regardless of the client animations or calculations. This ensures the raytrace timing is consistent on all machines. This is very work in progress and not finalized.

I'll disagree with you on this as well. It's not that In Nomine, VtM, oWoD/nWoD, are the issue. And they don't cause problems.

The groups that do are generally influenced by APs and modern DragonGame-isms or Computer RPGs.

I never had issues like those before I've seen the surge of CRers.

Art & Misc Improved and expanded some game UI concepts. Updated our prospective control map (very subject to change of course). Finished painting the Bushfire skin. This is one of our favourites for Scoria so far, and we hope you like it even more than the preview last week! Coding This sprint was mostly spent bug-hunting! Improved ground logic to better handle momentum (especially when landing). Also includes some math-y fixes to help players slide less on turns. Improved ground collisions, especially with walls. You now slide off the wall instead of getting stuck to it. Fixed air collisions with walls to slide properly (though without friction until further testing for feel). Updated animation logic to include tap-flaps with transitions (which still needs some refinement). Fixed a silly bug where crouching would force you to move even if no other keys were pressed. Fixed a bug where the force from gravity was retained even after landing with tucked wings, making it impossible to get off the ground. With all these combined, we'd like to show you the improvements! Disclaimers: Transitions will be polished in general. Some of them are very snappy at the moment. The landing animation still needs to be added. Video breakdown: At the beginning it shows air to ground momentum preservation, where you'll be able to keep some of your air momentum if you land properly. Next, it shows tap flaps vs sprint flaps. Tap flaps are manual and consume more stamina in return for more power and control. Sprint flaps are from holding the button down and are more efficient. Note that for T3 Dragon in the video, its tap vs sprint is more subtle. Tap flap has a sharper and deeper wingbeat. Eventually, flap sounds will be different depending on flap vs sprint. Lastly, we finally implemented proper collisions for air and ground. Previously, colliding with something would get you stuck, needing to maneuver out of it. Now, you properly slide off the object. Keep in mind that for flight especially, this is missing a lot of crash-related animations! This video just shows the fact we got collisions working.

So, learned about Myrkul earlier this morning and thought, "oh yeah, that must be who the myrkbrood are based on." Then about an hour ago it hit me that some random sect of former Myrkul cultists are now following someone new and that's who was tryna snatch and grab me. 🙄😮‍💨 #ttrpg #DragonGame

Models & Misc Finished the T3 Dragon's Friendly call. We're keeping those calls short and simple so the calls of the T4 wyrms shine! Reorganized and reimported all files for all currently completed wyrms (Scoria, Iceclaw, Levin, T2/T3 Dragon, T2/T3 Wyvern). This has been a fairly time-consuming slog, and we're happy to have it finished for the wyrms! Began organizing and reimporting files for NPCs. These took a lot of time to sort out, and included fixing errors or adding animations that were missed before, or would otherwise improve things. (Ex: Juvi Wyvern was missing Swim/Underwater Idles, Bellbat now has a Glide and Dive, Common Venna has idle-to-eat and vice-versa transitions.) Materials have been standardized and set up in preparation for the skin system, and LODs have been set up. Made a new Eat animation for the Common Venna, which will be used most of the time. Its old Eat animation will now be a rare alternate one. Remade the size comparison charts, so now you can see an up to date version! Cetapod is in a separate image because it's Too Large to be contained in the chart with all the other creatures. Coding Updated models in the animation graph logic. Implemented the Levin Darter as a playable! We mentioned this before when we added Iceclaw, but thanks to previous work done by us, implementing new wyrms is pretty quick! Adding the completed Levin and tweaking basic parameters in-game was a 20 minute task. Of course, we'll have to do much more in-depth tweaking to make the wyrm feel right, and add unique abilities in the future, but we're pleased that we can have a wyrm playable in a basic form so quickly! Here's your first glimpse of Levin in the game. There are some animation transitions to fix, so things might look janky. Levin still needs movement values tweaked, and the video is using a placeholder map and the very WIP new flight system, so there are many issues we're aware of. Hope you enjoy glowy Levin!

Models Continued work on foot twist fixes. Finished 3D painting the Seaglow skin! It was mostly painted by our new skin artist @BlizzzardWolf! It was posted on Bluesky last week, but we'll post it again here since it's so pretty: bafkreies7x5ttvbit4z3uxzyudgafriapzcx3ixcq2iznsolyjjbewqx3e40jpeg.png bafkreib3vrd3ly4unzrkrsgrjdyzzopuubp7mdefhr3zhe5qy7acgrk2si40jpeg.png Made fixes to a couple of Levin's animations and weight painting, improving on some issues around the neck, arms and hips. Cleaned up and prepped Iceclaw, Scoria, and Levin skin painting files. Stray marks were removed, regions were defined and filled in more cleanly, masks were included and labelled, file size was reduced, and toggleable underlying textures were added for clarity. This will help streamline the painting process going forward. Coding Fixed various bugs in flight as we continue to work on the new system. Briefly pivoted to implementing a very rough draft of the climbing system, which includes: Basic wall detection (breaks on corners currently). Basic movement around the wall. Climbing off and jumping off walls (still clunky). We'd like to show you the first draft! Of course, most aspects of this are very clunky and WIP. The video is also using the old version of the Iceclaw model and animations. Some climbing animations haven't been implemented yet. Hope you enjoy seeing the first iteration! Community https://thelastsanctum.wiki.gg/ TLS now has a Wiki! It doesn't really contain new info for those of you who monitor news, but would appreciate a click on the link to improve our SEO! Thank you to a couple community members for helping, and big appreciation for @Djinnet for helping set up a lot of the templates and CSS related things! Note that the wiki is set up, but missing a lot of information. The Skins page is still pending some formatting decisions. The wiki is intended to be mostly community run, so feel free to think of ways to improve it! Here are some things that come to mind: Add descriptions in the Appearance section of wyrm pages. In the Gallery section of wyrm and NPC pages, add alternate images that have been posted before, with captions. Make sure to use the <gallery> tag! Add a Trivia section to wyrm and NPC pages and add a couple points for each one. Help us keep information up to date as things are revealed!

#TheLastSanctum #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #ue5 #dragon #dragonart #survival #survivalgame #dragongame #tls #Blender #BlenderArt #3dart #drake
Coding Implemented flight design changes: Iterated several times on initial feedback (which was positive even with the first rough draft!) Technical details of flight update: Implemented pitch and roll bounds to replace force-based lift/drag acceleration. Implemented momentum preservation for speed and "by mode" to permit acceleration mechanics, such as lift from flapping and tap-flapping. Implemented player controls (and limits on player controls) to smooth rotations while still feeling "snappy". Implemented speed-based smoothing of flight rotations (e.g. flying faster makes it harder to quickly turn). While we still have to work on a lot more polish for a proper showcase, we'd like to show you a brief clip of our new flight design! You can note how it's much easier now for a wyrm to be nimble (of course, not all wyrms will have this level of maneuverability). The video demonstrates that we can control rotations per submode (ex. turning faster while flapping vs gliding), how pitch/rotation scales according to speed, and the overall improved interpolation and dive transition. Overall, this flight change gives us more control over in-game maneuverability, and the number values behind it! Updated Scoria and Iceclaw to be playable with general physics updates (pending number-tweaking to make them feel right). Iceclaw demonstrates a working proof-of-concept of general software engineering updates done previously. Because of a lot of work we put in before, adding new wyrms to the game is trivial! Models & Animations Created transition animations from parachute fall brake to flight state for all flying wyrms. Added turning animations for new/adjusted flight/flap animations. Cleaned, separated, organized, and charted all existing skins into colour regions, in preparation for the skin system. Also set up some additional colour palettes for the Lichen skin; here it is with its four presets! New_Project41.png Currently in the process of fixing foot twisting on turning animations for all wyrms (Scoria and Iceclaw done, WIP on the rest). Polished various animations, including adding stronger wind effects to T3/T4 Wyvern and Scoria's flying animations, and reanimated Iceclaw's turn in place. Here's Iceclaw's very energetic turn in place animation!

Coding Wrote a design summary outlining extensive flight physics updates based on tester feedback. Focused on player controllability of flight. We aim to reduce physics simulation complexity to help with networking. Documented existing physically-driven flight system in sufficient detail to allow future code work, and possible alternate approach to flight physics. (Don't worry, none of this means our flight system won't be interesting! These changes are specifically to get us the flight system we want, which we think will be very enjoyable once we tweak) Models & Misc Finished the Broadcast call audio for the T3 Dragon. Improved Levin's Flap and Flight animations. Slightly adjusted Levin's Broadcast and Threaten animations to better match the new calls. Now we'd like to show you Levin's new calls! We know some of you might be attached to the old ones, and we are as well, but the new ones are overall a much better audio quality and fit the creature. Here are the new calls! https://youtu.be/CkwHv9Y7-YU
