Fun fact: walking up on a slope backwards is ridiculously hard.

- Hey, we searched all over the database, but we couldn't find any status updates. Have you posted any yet?
I can not wait! Link dead will be completed this month? When?
Sinpol: MM said that the alpha is planned for release on 12/31/09.
MM: Did you find this out because of the rotoscoping?
@Vectorious
Based on what we’ve seen so far he probably did it himself and found it a not too comfortable way to travel.
Have you broken something, MM?
Try running next time. BTW Why is this under dev log, shouldn’t it be under manliness?
@Makron666
Because he did this for the development of the game so he could implement the animation better/more realistically and it could even affect gameplay.
Yes I’ve actually tried it and have video footage :). I might release it when I have some free time.
Hmm, i have an question. Will the character’s legs try to align with terrain ? Look like they do in Gta IV, legs try to be on terrain, on slope 1 leg bends realisticly and stuff… 😀 will you try to do this on Link-Dead ? because standing on a slope will look retarded without it. ( 1 leg floating, 1 leg inside terrain)
he had foot placement correction earlier but it was working pretty shitty and now with his own shitty physics we don’t know;p
I was guessing that, but there is no hurt in asking.
@mman: foot placement doesn’t need to be done with physics, just inverse kinematics or simple rotations based off terrain angle.
Will the character’s legs try to align with terrain ?
Yes they will. Although it is not endorphin and I’m not going to the level of gta iv. It looked bad in previous versions cause the animations were shitty.
u still need foot – ground collision, also ik is a way of simulating of physics mr pasta
