I've been working on a game pitch and story dear to me, "ENGINE ANGEL", with the team at Ivy Road!

We're still seeking funding, but in the meantime I wanted everyone to still be able to share the work they've done. I'll be sharing more as well as reposting any of the team's posts so stay tuned!

That's wild! I wonder what I'm doing that's weird. Appreciate the responses btw!

I'll have to keep trying things out I guess.

Specifically ones that are less annoying. Because we also run into the choppiness/jitter if our characters are moving at not pixel perfect velocities which can be annoying in a top down game.

I haven't been able to find a solution, but I see games that do what I want so asking everyone I can!

Did you end up solving that issue with your game or are you living with any choppiness? Our solution has been using a pixel perfect transform component and a camera that tries to maintain a consistent velocity across many frames, but I'm wondering if other devs like you have other good solutions

I've never tried only snapping to pixel positions after movement stopped though.

I found that no matter what I did, with or without the pixel perfect camera, making sure the right update loops were used for movement and camera, and even if I snapped to pixel perfect positions I'd get some jitter if my camera tried to follow with damping.

Did you ever run into any camera jitter when having the camera follow your player around or anything?

Yeah it'd be a typical 2D platformer or top-down JRPG kinda pixel art camera. Follows characters, probably with a small bit of easing. Parallax here or there depending on the game or scene.

@adamcyounis.bsky.social Was just watching one of your videos and was wondering if you had any resources about creating a pixel perfect camera for smooth movement in Unity? I always get jittering when I try to make it work!

Good morning Bluesky !

I dunno how seriously I can take this platform

I lost faith in humanity when people here actually adopted calling posts skeets.

Ok thank you! I'll try it with nothing and see how it goes.

Oh interesting so you didn't do anything special and it just worked? Did you ever run into any jitter or sprites rendering weird?

@tianipixel.bsky.social Was just playing UNSIGHTED and was appreciating just how smooth the camera movement was. I've been struggling to get unity to cooperate with pixel perfect for awhile so I was super impressed.--do you have any advice?

the camelia closure is going to lead to a lot of people dramatically taking the wrongest lessons possible from it. it did not fail "because it was a kickstarter game," and it did not fail because there's something sick with the model. but the failure is going to make fewer people trust it.

We just entered the final 23 hours! I have a REAL SHOT at finishing in the top 10 and GETTING MY GAME FUNDED!

Overwhelmingly positive in steam…Thank you!!! 😭

We have reached a tentative agreement with the video game bargaining group, which includes some of the largest video game companies in the world, and we are hopeful that our video game strike will be suspended in the coming days. #SagAftraStrong ow.ly/wZzx50W6Lwv

I wish them both the worst.

Hell yeah. Love the game

This is insane. Just... thank you.

Being a digital artist is exhausting 🤷‍♂️

Don't let a motherfucker steal your joy.

Watch cartoons, build LEGO kits, get your friends together and play board games, coo at your pets and call them your precious stinky babies, blow off dandelion fluff, whatever sparks joy. Cringe is dead, be free.
