People have said we're crazy for making a game like this, but we love it.

Ever level of Shroom and Gloom is created with 1000s of layers of illustrations. Don't think folks understand how fun it is to building a world this way!

My dreams are twisting into reality...

Some more work on the procedurally animated cockroach legs (temporarily reduced it's movement speed for easier testing)

some work on the cockroach's procedural animations + ragdoll

\o/ gonna be a long time before i release, but its still exciting

A screenshot highlighting two settings in the Godot project settings, under the Navigation/World page: Map Use Async Iterations Region Use Async Iterations

This Godot quirk has given me so much grief. By default, nav maps update async. Which means when you load a scene, you have to wait an indeterminate number of frames before you can query the nav map. Even the map_changed signal is unreliable.

After disabling these, map_changed now works.

oh my god thank you. ive been spawning in enemies 10 seconds after players just to be safe

hahaha, it would definitely be funny

The cockroach's ragdoll may or may not have some issues

another neat example is I was able to put in camera locations into my animation system. For example, when you ADS in my game, the camera transitions to right behind the crosshairs. This is done by changing a single value in an animation object

this allows for similar outputs though, where for a dance animation I might use XYZ to blend from frame 0 to frame 1. For reloading a shotgun I can loop frames over and over until ive finished reloading

anyway, it's awesome to see another person doing their own (amazing) thing with animations :)

this is really well done, appreciate the explanation. I do my animations in a similar way but quite differently. Hand + arm + head + position/rotations for each animation frame; then using math to blend from one frame to the next. I do want to try blending out eventually, it's new so lots to do :)

its awesome seeing another custom animation system. how did you go about blending full animations? Looks like the hands do 1 animation, arms do another (ex: the head scratch + battle dance) so im curious how you may have blended that 😄

warmer light tone for bathroom hallway to contrast with the dark cold lighting inside the bathrooms

made some new materials for the bullet shells.. looking better

fun screenshot from trying out the ramped/staircase hallways (seems my procedural room generation works fine with them!)
