Hey 👋 here are some crunchy graphics and gameplay from Crystals Of Irm

I'll start with a question i am totally not struggling with...How do you get animation to work so nice in unreal?

A pile of fresh ground coffee mounds up below the coffee grinder and all over the counter. The container thats supposed to catch the coffee was never placed to catch coffee and sits right next to the machine. Now theres a mess to clean and still no coffee.

a clear indication i need coffee...but am too sleepy to make it.

you are doing this in godot!?!

For sure! Its nice getting feedback or interest.

Your pdc stuff looks super cool btw. I used to work on a space game a while back. On the back burner for now.

Yea so no predetermined spots. The game does line traces against any mesh and will calculate spots to land and those are the yellow. But also its velocity based so you dont really land there 😀

Ah the yellow spheres are debugs of the dynamic landing target. Calculated on the fly

I have a tag to exclude geometry if i want but by default everything is vaultable or grabable.

There is also a ledge grab system that lets you grab any ledge or edge of a wall etc if the scenario is correct.

Not sure what you mean exactly? The system lets you vault over anything that meets the min and max height thresholds. The angle animation is hard coded to 30 degrees tho.

Good advice. The tilt is tricky but i could totally make it dynamic based on the situation with some tweaks

Here is the vaulting in action - I think we keep the speed - it will look and feel even better with some hand animations and sound to sell it #gamedev #unrealengine #screenshotsaturday

Vaulting is feeling good. Watched a lot of solution vids -in my solution you can hop over some low stuff and I am using velocity to keep the player moving rather than locking them to a certain timed animation since I want to preserve speed #screenshotsaturday #gamedev
