u double click it

[OniWorld]

Whoa! Super cool to get a chance to play with this. Really neat.

What's with the midpoint though? I'm referring to the circle that's white on the inside with the green border. Is that just a visual aid? Clicking on it doesn't seem to do anything, at least not that I can tell.

Thankyou! The midpoint is just a visual aid, you have to double click on the line itself in order to add a new point inbetween two others, so it helps with that. I'm also going to allow people to drag out the midpoint to add a curve control point, so it'll have a bit more use when I get that done.

This is weird because I was no lie dreaming about seeing Lizzi merch in shops an hour before I saw this post...

Also, here's some creations that people have showed me:

Feels so awesome to see people create with this tool.

I've completely re-written the climb system, and now Klank casts rays to see if there is an obstacle above him that he can't pass. This is done in realtime, so if an object suddenly appears infront of him klank will cancel the climbing action.

So you're using rays and for collision detection between Klank and the ground, or something better optimized? Just wondering

Oh no no. The rays are cast only when Klank wishes to climb up an obstacle. The rays are then cast infront of him and slightly above him to see if there is anything in the way. If not, he can climb, otherwise it just cancels the action.

Sorry for the lack of updates, however progress is being made. We're really really busy lately working on alot of secret stuff and our jobs. But in the meantime, here's another little animation:

We've also started work on a side-project based on one of Lloyd's games he made when he was younger, called RENGA.

Oh cool you guys are now using Ferr2D Terrain too! Its an awesome unity plugin, though I didn't know you guys were using unity, or have you made a similar thing in your own engine based off the Ferr stuff, eitherway its looking cool!

Really looking forward to hearing more about the game, that frog and snake thing was awesome, though the snakething was kinda creepy.

pretty sure they're using their own, non-unity engine

Maybe they did a Ferr2D port or something

Yeah most likely a port, since I think the visuals are the same as the samples provided with the asset, making that work in another program must have been difficult, but well worth it for the benefits, looking forward to some more updates.

It wasn't a direct port, however I did buy the plugin just to grab the graphics haha. I needed assets exactly like those for my system to work, it was so ugly before - now we know what we need to draw for smart textures it'll make our lives so much easier. I wrote some AGAL and AS3 to get this to be able to run smoothly and perfectly, that was a challenge. If you don't know what AGAL is, don't look - you'll have nightmares.

Also, sorry for the radio silence lately. Lloyd and I have been extremely busy with work and life in general, we're still grinding away at Oni World though, planning a big update soon

[OniWorld]

we're back

[karlozalb]

Wow, the main character in widescreen looks nice!

[JobLeonard]

I wish more developers shared gifs of visual bugs :D

[OniWorld]

Some slum wall concept art, with an Ogre smoking

[AlphaPlus]

One thing I hope you avoid is the sort of...stiffness I see in the character animation engine. It reminds me of Scribblenauts in a way, and that art really bugs me. Love that character, though.

Nice concept

The animations and the system used to control them needs fine tuning, and it's alot harder to see in GIFs than at 60fps on any device. Can you explain a bit more about what bugs you?

[Lucs]

I think i understand what bugs him and that's the only thing that bugs me with the look of your game. Its not about the engine rendering.
The character looks like it's just a bunch of limbs tied to each other so when it moves it looks really stiff, its a bit weird.

Pretty much all of the screenshots/videos/gifs posted have been placeholder or temporary artwork, we're always going through revisions. While Lloyd produces the art, I work on improving the engine, re-iterate and get feedback. Works quite well so far, we have so much to show you guys soon but it's just not ready yet.

The stiffness was intended, think C3-PO in Star Wars. Klank is an android like him, made out of individual metal cased parts with motors and hinges etc. But feedback noted, a few people have said similar 

[AlphaPlus]

Don't you think this is a little wide?

I feel like, you need to make up your mind. Is it robotic, rigid, or is it smooth, and lifelike? Atm, it's in between. It looks really unnatural. Food for thought!
