A good chunk of my animation time went into animating the damned watermelon. For some reason it kept rubber banding, and not animating fluidly. It took me awhile, but I did eventually find where the problem was. Aside from that little hitch I have almost 30 seconds of animation done!… only another five minutes worth to go…
Don’t worry… I’ll try to find something else to talk about! 😛
Once again I only had about an hour to spare working on the project. Fortunately, my partner in crime is much easier to animate! 😛 The last couple of days have been pretty busy with other things; from typical housework to lunch prep to putting the finishing touches on a care package for a certain someone. 🙂 I’ll probably put more focus on this during my vacation, though just enough that I’m still doing other stuff. I don’t want to spend the entire duration of my getaway to go into an imaginary one.
I was able to get a lot of animation done yesterday, and by a lot I mean a splash in a fucking bucket. It will be awhile before I do a render, although I’ll probably keep exporting different scenes in different chunks to avoid making one giant ass render. Tonight I only had an hour to put into it, but I managed to get some of the facial animation done, plus some small movements to the spine and arms. I’m aiming to animate more of the scene tomorrow; knock off some more time on the clock.
Not too long ago there was an article I read about some cheap waste of time indie game, and it was one that actually piqued my interest (especially for seven bucks). Pain Party is a Souls Like mixed with game-show type shenanigans. It’s hard like any souls type, but it’s friendlier about your inevitable demise.
The weapons range from standard to interesting. You can wield a long sword, or a trout. There are also pistols, rocket launchers, and barbells that you can pummel your rivals with. For a playable shitpost it’s actually quite fun!
I knocked a light bit of Dust off of Dust this evening while running a couple renders. There was even one quest completed! I’ve moved onto the creepy woods now to further the plot, and this is where the adventure ends for now. There are plenty of other games screaming at me for their attention this weekend.
I managed to put a good dent into the project tonight! I’m about 14 seconds into animating it, out of over five minutes. Nothing too stellar, yet… It all has to be done in baby steps.
Until then, we have this to look forward to next week!
Hopefully it makes up for the sudden barrage of 99% gameplay video I’ve been cranking out. It’s probably going to be my number 1 fave of the entire year, next to what follows. 😛
Over the weekend we did a recording session for my current project! It was easily the longest one we ever did, totaling almost an hour of a couple of nerds just yelling silliness into microphones. Followed by my ears having to endure editing it all down to a little over five minutes – which means I’m gonna really have to bust ass on this if I want it to be done by New Years.I might get a dent into this during my next round of time off coming up at the end of the month. Until tomorrow though, the project stays at this frame.
Today at lunch I decided to revisit Portal Reloaded! If you’ve never played it – Portal Reloaded is a free mod that owners of Portal 2 can download via Steam! It’s a Portal game with a twist, you have your two typical portals, and a third Portal to take you back and forth between the Present and the Future.
I didn’t get as far as I wanted to, but now that I have it moving forward on Deck I might be able to finish it!
