game looks extremely sick! i have a massive blender tip for you tho. once you've unwrapped a model, in the uv editor screen you can hit L while you're mouse is hovering over any uv island and it will automatically select the entire island, so you dont have to select individual verts or drag select specific areas. you can also do the same if you're in face select mode on the model itself, so if you want to grab a specific part of the model easily you can.

[@standarddefgames]

THERE GOES MYYY HERO! Fr thankyou thats a life saving tip!

[@HeroGetsu]

Another tip if you’re making a model and want it the same on both ways go to your add ons and turn on auto mirror will save you a lot of time also get loop tools both of those are something I use constantly and if you’re texturing something and it will be the same way on both sides just keep on auto mirror and the uv islands will be in the same place when you finish making the model and textures as long as you haven’t applied the mirror yet and made and further changes

As a hungarian 8:27 hits hard man love the obnoxius humor you put in these devlogs.

[@forrlzy]

Super excited to continue watching your progress

[@BoogChannel]

Recently saw your first devlog and was inspired to start working on my own solo project, what you have been able to do so far is genuinely impressive and the games aesthetic is great.

[@Dogdude2077]

I know I probably said this but wireblade looks sick! I love what you guys are doing here and it’s fine not having much to show, I personally love the big ass solar panels which clean themselves like that’s pure peak fiction keep it up!

This project looks good even for the second devlog! I want more funny robot

Love the Ratchet and Clank soundtrack man, brings back some good memories

[@hakiMakiman]

Forgot that I wanted to comment the first time I watched this so... I'm back! And the first thing I want to say is I don't think many people know just how long it takes to make a model/sprite. One might look like it'll take 10 minutes, and then you'll be working on for 2 days straight. Plus you also have to make all of that model's animations on top of that. I'm actually kinda surprised by how quickly your team has been working. Great job!

[@SrJuanJoseMariaRobertoIII]

babe wake up new funny robot devlog dropped

[@devbearyt]

bring back the game development genre back to its former glory

[@daviddraper6468]

Really love the direction this is going! Btw, for a little time saving, if you hover over a section in the UV editor and select L it will select the entire island, so you don't have try and wrangle everything or select each face individually! This works in the model editor as well, really nice for grabbing one continuous piece!

[@Sabukaaaa]

I liked this video, I really like the progress so far.

[@Foundbison]

[@late6542]

im hella excited for this, the designs make my smooth brain go yes

[@capnc4ke]

The simplest way to do flying enemies, is to not actually have them fly. Essentially they will walk and use normal pathfinding, but their mesh is just in the air. There is some ways to make it seem les stiff and noticeable, like interpolating their Z position, so that as they go up slopes, they will sort of "lag" underneath until they finish going up the slope. Things like this and an actual hover animation are generally enough to trick people into thinking it's a genuine flying AI. Also doing some extra traces in case you need it to fly through a door way or something, in order to lower the mesh offset will likely be necessary depending on your environments and intended behavior. Most of the time, you don't actually need it to "fly", you just need to trick people into thinking it's flying. I'm using the same method for wall walking AI. Their actual capsule is on the floor, but they run traces to the walls and ceiling in order to offset the mesh. It becomes a little difficult when the transitions are too abrupt, but a simple jump animation hides it alot of the time. Feel free to reach out if you ever wanna chat about game dev or anything UE!!!! Keep up the good work!

[@standarddefgames]

Didnt think of that. Actually not a bad idea!

[@alienscrapper1303]

I think you should consider redesigning the helmets of the human characters. Looks like you ripped it off the heads of the Lethal Company characters and painted it gray. But overall really entertaining video and cool to see the progress you guys made. Just keep up with the banger Aussie intros.

Hey your Devlog made me discovers what a foot roll or foot pivot is, would you say it was an important part that helped in your animations??

[@standarddefgames]

Definitely not super important generally speaking, but for animating it definitely speeds up the workflow in the long run.

The 4th law of robotics is that a robot's eyes must turn red if it goes evil. In order to comply with this law robot manufacturers must construct their automata with red LEDs in their eyes to account for the possibility that they turn evil. "But surely a robot just shouldn't be built with with capability of being evil" i hear you ask. Unfortunately, evil is the default state of robots, without evil there is no robotics, and as such we must give our machines the capacity for good in order to cancel the evil out. In some robots, good will prevail, but in others, evil will take over. And as such, we must give them red eyes.

[@markbutrato]

I WANT MORE!!!! FEEDDD MEEEE

[@fafafafafafafa]

Love the project! One thought on the main character's movement though: Usually my complaint would be that animations are too robotic and stiff. But I think this boi needs to be a little more robotic. I know reworking animations is tedious. But maybe taking out some of the easing and perhaps replacing it with some snappy overshoots could do the trick?

Amazing work man! following from devlog 0, keep it up bro! quick question, any recommendations on a good course or tutorial for beginners when it comes to animations in blender? I've learned sculpting but not sure how rigging works. Amazing work man!

[@standarddefgames]

Honestly just watch as many different videos about animation/rigging as you can. Even if it's not tutorials but just someone showing their animation process. You can take bits and pieces from all to create a method that works for you.

[@maddogmccree88]

@@standarddefgames So what I've been doing so far is fine haha. I think I get the gist of it but yea... Blender is massive and one can easily get lost. Thanks man all the best, love the low-poly texture.

[@memetal5094]

Hey quick question. I'm working on my game right now and I can't quite grasp how to go about IK. I wanted to know what you did for the skeleton/rig, for example did you make a control rig and baked the animations or did you export the whole thing with IK bones and everything? Thank you and I look forward to seeing more devlog updates!

[@standarddefgames]

Very good question that we are trying to figure out ourselves the answer to lol. The way its set up in blender is they have the main rig with the normal bones, then a bunch of control bones on the same rig but separate layer. Most likely it would be best to bake the animations and just export the basic skeleton to unreal, but we haven't got there yet

[@memetal5094]

@@standarddefgames That's smart, didn't realise you don't need an entire control rig and can just put the IK bones on a different layer. I'll try it! Anything else you'd give advice on when working with blender or exporting to UE5?

Nice art style for the game, is the idea about war ? or robots vs robots ? or about robots save the world just by killing other robots ? what is the messages you want to communicate with the game ?

[@standarddefgames]

We don't want to share too much about the story just yet as we want people to experience it for themselves. The main themes are of redemption, and also the effects of technology and AI when influenced by the right and wrong people. The game is set after the war but it will still play a big part in the story. Okay I've said too much.. don't wanna spoil the game!
