Thanks for the feedback and playing my game! I haven't encountered that bug yet, but if I do I will be sure to capture it in my web. You're right about procedural animation! It was a new thing for me, so it's a bit janky, but basically I drew a leg in aseprite, added a sort of socket bone at the root, then 3 bones for the leg itself, next I painted the area of effect weights on the sprite then used a IK manager with 4 CCD Solvers, 1 for each leg. Finally, I created a script that let me set a zone near the body that selects a new target for each leg while moving.
Here is a pic of the setup:
Oh, that's really interesting! Thanks for sharing all that info. I'm using Godot, so I don't know how much of your process would carry over, but I know there are similar systems. I'll have to play around with them at some point. The spider legs were a neat effect!
And I appreciate your continued use of puns. Keep it up!
Thank you for your kind words and playing my game! I really had a lot of fun making it, it has been the most complete and polished game I have made so far!
Thanks for playing my game! The zoom-out was an unplanned feature that I quickly realized was necessary, so I am glad players are using it!
Easily the cutest spider I've seen in this jam! It's adorable!
Over all it's a great experience, I especially like how the end screen zooms out to show what the world looks like from a non-spider point of view.
Getting new abilities gradually over time helped to keep things fresh and interesting.
I did have some trouble latching onto ceilings, I think I only managed it once. I also wasn't very good with the web swinging and ended up falling back down to the start of the level at one point. These are probably skill issue things. :)
The background music, or the rain sounds, seem to include a barking dog at times? For a long while I was convinced they were noises coming from outside.
I did miss one crystal somewhere, hopefully the other sixteen will be enough. For whatever it is spiders use crystals to do!
Thank you for playing my game and leaving such a thought out comment! I truly appreciate it. Maybe it is obvious, but my inspo for the spider were the dust sprites from Totoro and Spirited Away, some of my all time favs. Truth be told being able to climb on ceilings was a happy little accident that sort of just worked from implementing the wall climbing, so I should def go back and make it behave more intended. The background rain definitely has some extra sounds I didn't notice at first, so good ear.
Haha I really did try to make the spider legs feel spidery and the movement feel right. I had several last minute bugs after building to WebGL it seems, I was trying to smooth it all out to the last minute! I am still pretty happy with the outcome and appreciate you playing my game!
