Made a ton of progress on the camera/weapon system. still got a lot of animation stuff to fix up. I also got a lot of the clothing/armor system working

however I want to make simplified single mesh versions as well. but that should be fairly simple since its super easy to make everything compartmentalized in godot.

rn the system I'm working on focuses on what majority of our games will be using which is the RAC style third person platform/shooter hybrid, its easily adjustable to different styles from there, then I'll be focusing hard on the sidescroller stuff for occultryx. both of these will stay modular

that being said the character system being modular doesn't really affect the workflow. since with gltf you can easily export a fully modular character as a single asset. this includes full outfits for clothes. while not supported atm I do plan to branch the core character systems into variants

granted this is a framework so its up to w/e we decide to hook these systems into if we decide to make it user exposed in the given game. there aren't really any in stone plans to use it for anything outside tools, but I would like to eventually use it with multiplayer games/modes.

I can't go too much into the details just yet but I'm making it so new body parts and clothing can easily be added without scripting. the systems atm don't have any UI at all so its all tools rn. but eventually I should be able to hook up UI to these systems and they should auto populate with items

shoutouts to not being able to share footage because its been entirely rewriting stuff so I can have a proper data driven systems.
I've taken a bit of inspiration from stuff I've collabd on with @firengames.com and trying to make it modding friendly.
overall one of my goals with frontier framework

Croc if he present or something

Trying to recreate the SM64 painting ripple effect.
I think this looks close enough.

stuff like Ex-Term's (Formerly Knights of Miami) (yeah still not dead lol) vehicle's will have to wait. But characters, weapons/combat, movement, and of course visuals all come first. I've made really good progress on all those fronts already. however I'm still terrible at math so it'll be a bit lol

feature wise my goal is to make sure I've got everything I need for Occultryx, Javelin, and Monster Planet. there is some p big overlap in character types and cast. Javelin especially is going to need this system due to its unique character system.

I have already designed the assets in a way to be modular while not being too much for the style.

a lot of the systems so far are heavily based on secondlife and especially @shadoskill.emptylist.co's (nsfw) fullarray. designed with modularity and modding in mind

Soon I want to get feedback/suggestions/requests for frontier's character creator. I want to build a p exhaustive system but I really only know what I want out o it.

idk when the first game we will use where its gonna be accesible to the player. but it'll be used for npcs and costumes

Been working on several systems the last few days. as well as asset for them.
I've got the beginnings of a character creator. I also got underwear layers in now. I just haven't decided 100% how I want to implement them.
not shown here I've been working on the camera and weapon systems as well.

oh yeah fair, it'll be interesting either way to get back to doing level work and being able to use all my new tools

I can't wait to take advantage of these proper since godot handles them a lot better for stuff like this. though I was using them p heavily they're just super muted in unreal lol

The weapon systems will probably take a few more days since they need a lot of animation work since it involves the locomotion system. I p much need to double the amount of animations I've got just cause of how different this engine is. however I don't think that is a bad thing here

does that mean the F in F-Zero stands for foot?

if you've ever played Code Vein its a good example of what to expect. however being a bit closer to sonic heroes.
No promises but I do intend to have those characters be able to be controlled by other players when in coop

Monster planet being the first major jump into this. Tezca (H-08), Winona (H-14)(Out-class Hunter), and Dysis (H-13) (Occultryx) being all playable characters. OCH and OX both being basically introduction games. there are some other characters in both that play bigger roles later as well

Occultryx and Out-class will likely be our only single player only games. however that still might even change.
narrative and design wise they're unlikely to get partner characters. but with our other projects they all have partner characters as a major mechanic

gamerpic looking ass thing I did at like 6am

Been working on weapons but I needed to get both the animation system and some new shaders done first before I could get the weapons themselves functional.

but there is a visible heat function to the guns

locomotion and other sorts of movement stuff have been fine tuned finally. added in the dodge
overall I'm p happy with where its going. its not going to take long to catch up to where the project was in unreal

still got some tweaking to do but overall movement is working how I want. now I can comfortably move onto getting the animations working properly.
once I've got that working I think I'm gonna either work on the clothing system or weapons

oops may have done a bit more work on the godot port of frontier. got somewhat functional controls and some basic locomotion stuff
