At least you got a mini dump.

A coffee mug shaped like the “E tank” from the Mega Man game series.

I drink my little energy drink from this. I think it helps.

@axiomverge.bsky.social Funny enough, I think I found a bug today during an AV play through. Trace can snap to the top of this pillar when moving right, and moving left leaves him stuck near the top.

Interesting approach. I’ve tried a number of different things and each has their own shortcomings. It sounds like no matter the approach, there will be some needed hacks in order ;)

@axiomverge.bsky.social Hey Tom, I was wondering how you got non-square/sloped tiles working in AV. I know that most of the environment is flat but there are some sloped surfaces too. I’ve been having trouble implementing sloped collision detection myself and was wondering if you have any tips?

Haha! At least we’re on the same page. The colors in your image are a bit better than the ones in mine since I think I used the actual value of one of the color channels (I think red) and so overall the images were quite dark. The upside is that it’s fast because it’s easy for a shader to do!

How do you go about implementing it? I’ve implemented this once before using shaders and coloring all sprites with a palette that was specially designed to encode which “color index” to use, and then the shader swaps the colors based on the index. It worked well but the source images were ugly.
