Roadmap for this month!
🕑 Added 2022-04-02 18:47:14 +0000 UTCHi hi hi,
Time for an interview!
Q: OK, so the engine is operational... Now what?
A: There are some things still wrong with it. The head turns around only 60 degrees in the example, and just to one side.
Q: Yeah, I noticed that. Why?
A: Memory. Specifically her left side bang (the one on the right). Theres some hard math making the swirlie-dollop it get fat when facing the camera. Its possible the optimizations might change that somewhat, but it will still look good!
Allowing her to turn both sides would require both sidebangs to do the calculations. And if you think I could just cheat and mirror one side of the calculations, then let me say that the sidebangs are not perfectly symmetrical, and thats important for the final 2D rendering to look ~authentic~ instead of looking like a cel-shaded 3D model.
Q: Oh, so thats why it only turns around 60 degrees?
A: Huh, no... Its a little more shameful than that. When the character turns sideways, one of the eyes disappear behind her nose. And the engine freaks out because of that! Absolutely refuses to work. I think I know why, but it might take a few days to solve this.
Q: I see... And thats next priority?
A: Betcha!
Q: I guess thats fine... But when will we get, like... Actual Content?
A: Very soon! Heres the roadmap for this month:
1: MAKE PAIGE TURN FULL 90 DEGREES!
2: MAKE AN ART-STYLE MANOEUVRE! SWITCH PAIGE SIMPLE ART-STYLE WITH THE XMAS ART-STYLE!
3: MAKE A FULL BODY PAIGE!
--- THESE 3 SHOULD BE DONE BY THE MID OF THE MONTH ----
4: A SURPRISE! <---- I THINK YOU WILL REALLY LIKE THIS ONE!
5: FIRST IN-ENGINE ANIMATION! FINGERS CROSSED FOR THIS ONE!
And that should be it for April!!
Cue in the smash cut for the meme spam ~This little manoeuvre will cost us 7 years~, he he he... Just joking, hehe. The desert walk is long behind us! Now we ride the engine until the end! Into space!
More updates soon!! I am always on Discord! If you wanna ask anything, get in there!
~~see you soon!!!
