fun fact, the slap shot in professional hockey is used much much less in recent years compared to ~15-20 years ago, but i think it's super important to the fantasy of hockey to keep it alive and powerful in JOSHIPUCK! #indiedev #godot #gamedev

phew cpu logic has hands. we're getting closer to a rough playable version I can polish up though >:D

pov you are the puck

coding the defender to just stand between the puck and net already makes scoring on the goalie like, ten times harder. Maybe I won't have to overhaul the goalie ai as much as I thought hahaha

how it feels posting joshipuck updates today

frantically renaming my "ai_controller" functions to "cpu_controller"

🚨NEW FEATURE🚨 Versa will now Chase You to the ends of the earth if you take the puck

alright good night coaches

Fiercely passionate, never afraid of a fight, and always willing to play dirty to beat Joshi. Here's number 99, Versa! #indiedev #3D

I should start using the gamedev tags here to see if they work at all for discovery

nice try goalie! testing gifs :^)

I had a few non-sports games planned for after joshipuck but honestly sports games are so fun to make. Id love to try my hand at golf tennis and basketball eventually

by the way they lost and they lost in maybe the most embarrassing way I have ever seen a professional hockey team lose

i love to set up my little prototype scenes. its like playing wtih a dollhouse

hoping if i post a progress clip itll incur good karma and my team will win the irl game going on rn

Just wrapped up implementing deking (that's when you do stupid little stick tricks), so there's only a couple core mechanics left for the prototype and then I can polish it up!

team Joshi's goalie will be number 82, Roak!

holding off on showing the progress of joshipuck so far, but i think it's REALLY coming together!!

homework :^)

I'm very interested in licensing small bands local to the area I'll be moving to for the joshipuck menu setlist, but I'm kinda worried by the time I reach that point the bands I'm looking at now will be WAY too expensive. right now this vibe from Common Koi is absolutely immaculate though:

hello joshi!

so I'm slightly shifting goals, I think prototype 2 I'll probably actually just call JoshiPuck alpha. That way I can expand the scope a bit, make it playable vs ai and local vs player. It'll give me a real meaty goal to shoot for AND I'll get to throw it on itch.io to gauge interest

i may be developing an unhealthy fixation on this project. anyways i can clean up nits on her shoes and collar but instead of wasting more time on a placeholder ill probably just rig her up next time. hi joshi!

little cleanup left to do on the jersey mostly but shes just about ready to all rigged up

goodnight friends back to work tomorrow so i probably cant work on this again til the weekend ;-;

i took my first swing at drawing the main character for JoshiPuck! Her name is Joshi and I love her and I hope I can model her effectively!!!

aaaaand thats everything that was on my trello board so im gonna call joshipuck prototype 1 finished! up next is a Lot of 3d modeling before i start on a new iteration

for prototype 2 I'll also iterate on the player model. joshipuck (like the vision I have of it in my brain) is in an art style very similar to megaman legends, so I have to get some experience in that style

im feeling good about this progress chat!!!

It feels kinda boring and stale to keep posting tiny stuff from this proto, but tbh I might be sticking with this for a while soo tough cookies Anyways I've named the proto JoshiPuck, because itll be girlhockey My prototype plans areee - puck control - passing - shooting - decent feeling movement

alrighty fans I think we call this a big w and go to sleep now!!!

nice thing about 3d modeling is if i feel like im wasting my time i just say "im prototyping :3"

yup this rules now!!!

Hitting a particularly rough spot where I need to learn to draw a little bit in order to do the part I actually want to do (the 3d model)

my kingdommmm

turns out animating legs is hard!! who knew. tw arachnophobia again?

I have this little fella rigged, tomorrow I wanna learn quick animation to put here c: arachnophobia tw or whatever

started prototyping a 3d fighter for funsies. got a little bit of movement + sidestepping + camera tracking working and i'm pretty happy with the result! i guess step 2 is rigging an actual test skeleton so i can learn how to make attacks

i half assed the texture teehee

i made my friends dream book :3c kinda :3c

*hits you with my sword* *hits you with my sword* *hits you with my sword* *hits you with my sword*
