Before becoming nothing, those distortions are everything... And that is quite a lot of work!

DOGWALK Demo, by bmo.green (Max de Kroon) track by bmo.green (Max de Kroon)

The original demo OST for Dogwalk is finally online for listening!

I love this little piece from Max de Kroon. It gave a good overview of the sound of different areas and moments in the game. Some parts like the ice waltz and ending are completely unique :3

Oh yeah we ended the year with another game jam and WON!
9 people and 9 days can get you quite far. So happy with how this turned out:

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'll be a the Godot Fest this year to present our game :D
Looking forward to seeing being among the Godot Community again in Munich!

I hope we can make it a timed paywall. Not a huge fan either, but we gotta eat.
If I carve out the time I'd love to make a video about the theory (no code snippets) and make that free.

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.

Actually most of the complaints were about the frame rate. Performance optimization is hard 😅

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!

Maybe we should've figured out how to organise the AnimationTree better. This is how the final arrangement looks like (Some of these animation nodes go deeper haha)

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),

This game could suddenly drop in 15 years and I'd still play it day one full of excitement :D

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.

The support would always be appreciated!
Right now you would get access to the full source code. You'd need to dissect and investigate yourself how the pipeline works tho. Soon we'll have documentation and guides online.

Since all our animations are on 2s I wait for a signal that a new animation started. This resets a value that's counting delta time. If I take the modulo by the frame time I can check on which frames it syncs up with the animation.
But I can also see other ways of doing it.

Oh for a full explanation in the article I'll make more videos to compare the result to how it would look when just linearly interpolated 👍
