Not all animations are in yet, so that accounts for the wonkiness in some places.

Took the base sample project for a platformer in UE4 and added a bunch of features:
Double Jump
Wall Jump
Dash (8-directional)
Binary Facing Direction (instead of the default lerp)
Dash Effects (a la Infamous:SS)
C++ to Blueprint Events for relevant features
Custom AnimInstance (not seen)

Upcoming additions are:
Combat
Ledge Hang/Climb
Grab
Wall Cling/Run
Wall Dash

Here is a video for a project I worked on a few years back. Just stumbled upon it recently.

Get it on the app store 

Been a long time since I updated this blog.

I’m still trying to decide exactly what I could fill it with that would be of any value to ya’ll. More info coming soon.

I did some work on the SBV State Machine today. I’m making it as open-ended as possible, to allow for easy integration with our custom mission system.

Sadly, there is not enough time in a day!

I’ve been playing a lot with the Unity NavMesh feature lately and I gotta say, it’s a really fun feature. There have been several third party solutions to pathfinding for Unity, and I’ve used a few of them myself, but Unity’s just has that je ne sais quoi. The API is very user-friendly, and  building new NavMeshes is as easy as clicking a button.

The only (major) drawback I can think of is that it’s exclusive to the Pro version. While this makes the Pro version more appealing (as if it needed to be), it leaves out a very important feature that Unity’s competitors have had for a long time.

We’ll see how far I can push this system before I break it!

I recently posted on Indie DB about my project, Subvert, regrading a change of direction. This was in response to community feedback, industry vet advice and, above all, a team consensus.

In a nutshell, we’re starting over, but not really. Cryptic, right?

The new Subvert will most likely have a different title/subtitle and will be a completely different type of game.  At the same time, we’ll be keeping a surprising large portion of the initial design in place. We’re basically trimming the fat. We want to stay true to the core principles of the game, but take on a project of the right scope for our team. As much as we’d love to make the game we originally envisioned, it’s not in the cards right now, and making a half-assed version of that wouldn’t be fulfilling to us, the players or anyone.

I will share more in the coming days about the specific changes, but I expect to be posting much more on this blog about them and to post progress every step of the way.

I’m sure some people will dislike the new direction, but at the end of the day, we need to stay true to ourselves and execute on OUR vision.

Before the rambling progresses, I’ll leave it here.

Have a kick-ass day!
