Woo! Patch 1 is out! Check it out!

Wooo!

HADES II v1.0 arrives in less than one week!!🌒 It will be available worldwide at 9am PDT on Thursday, September 25, or your local time, on Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, Steam, and the Epic Games Store.

It's 🔥Five Years since the launch of HADES v1.0🔥! Please enjoy this new rendition of 'In the Blood', featuring the voices of Darren Korb and Ashley Barrett accompanied by a full orchestra recorded at Abbey Road Studios, Studio 1: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRSp...

Wooo! Let's gooooo!! :D

Patch 11 is out!

Looky!

It was an honor participating as a BAFTA juror again this year with such a talented group of people! Thank you Katherine Bidwell for being an awesome chair and to all the other jurors! Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing the event to life, all the nominees, and the winners!

Today we'll look at the FABRIK algorithm. It's a really nice and easy to understand algorithm, easy to implement and can have a lot of uses Here I'm showing it in a simple form Here's the sketch editor.p5js.org/admiralra/sk...

Yay! It's out! We've been working hard on this!

Here's a version of solving inverse kinematics using CCD (Cylic Coordinate Descent). The prevoius methods were analytical methods, this one is iterative, and starts moving into solving for an N number of bones. The p5js sketch: editor.p5js.org/admiralra/sk...

In this version, we'll solve the IK using the intersection of two circles! P5js Sketch: editor.p5js.org/admiralra/sk... And the previous two sketches for the other two methods. editor.p5js.org/admiralra/sk... - Find Opposite Length editor.p5js.org/admiralra/sk... - Law of Cosines

I've also tweaked the other sketch using the law of cosines to add some visualizers editor.p5js.org/admiralra/sk...

Here's another sketch of how you can solve a two bone IK by solving for the opposite side length editor.p5js.org/admiralra/sk...

Voting in the Steam Awards is underway, and HADES II is a nominee in these categories: 🔸Best Game on Steam Deck Award 🔸Outstanding Visual Style Award Your support would mean the (Under)world. 🌒We invoke your aid in this time of need!🌘 store.steampowered.com/steamawards/...

I've been meaning to create a little series of tutorials on some simple ways solve Inverse Kinematics. This is a simple method by using the law of cosines to solve a two bone IK. As a P5js sketch: editor.p5js.org/admiralra/sk... I'll make more on other ways in the future!

Right now you can get Hades II for 10% off in the Steam Autumn Sale!🍂🌒 You may also nominate your favorite games in the Steam Awards! Please consider Hades II for Best Game on Steam Deck, Best Soundtrack Award, or any you think are deserved!🙏 🗳️ Vote here: store.steampowered.com/steamawards/...

Alright, here it is: I collected ~100 #GameDev starter packs and put them all on one Notion page! ✨ They're categorized by: 🍃 Location 🍃 Discipline 🍃 Game Genre 🍃 & more! It also includes tips / labellers / block lists that I've stumbled on. I hope this helps you settle in & reconnect! 😊 👉 LINK

Here are the slides from my math talk at Virginia Tech last week. They are very similar to my other recent talks about geometric algebra. There are 140+ slides here, but I obviously didn't get through all of them in one hour. terathon.com/vtmath_lengy...

And here are the slides from my game engine architecture talk at Virginia Tech last week. These are mostly an outline of the topics I discussed while showing a bunch of real-time demos, so they don't contain much of the content of the talk, unfortunately. terathon.com/vtgame_lengy...

Similar to the hair rig (with a different set of features) is cloth interactions with the rest of the rig: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wo4...

Here was a test for having collision and sliding interactions on the rig with the rest of the body, in this case for a simple hair rig: www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5j5...

An old test for making a 3D model into flat 2D: youtu.be/RaipPz_tOws?...

The Salt rig from Blubber Busters that I worked on (Animated by uber talented @pauljarvis.bsky.social ) vimeo.com/273118244?sh...

Continuing transferring some of my older posts from Twitter to here. From this post where I used maya nodes for a angular pose reader: bsky.app/profile/olla... Here's one using bifrost: vimeo.com/353466611?sh...

Continuing some tests I did when Maya 2024 was released with the new math nodes, here was a simple two bone IK solver

When Maya 2024 was released, I made a quick example of how you can implement an anglular pose driver using stereographic projection:

Here's my implementation of this awesome method to evaluate curves from Cem Yuksel. Implemented with Bifrost in Maya: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRcc...

Here's a test to come up with a solution to emulate a setup I saw from ShimaAnimation (x.com/ShimaAnimati...). Since the setup mentioned I tried to come up with my own version. Ended up with something that worked very similar with some basic dot and cross products: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lDN...

Game devs, I guarantee you're not following enough industry women, but it's easy to change that. (:

And another version for extracting for the twist > bend (useful for wrists, and ankles) #rigtip

This is an old one, but figured I'd add it over here to BSky. This is a quick way to decompose Bend and Twist values from a rotation matrix in Maya: #rigtip

This is a really nice resource for 3D math: endesga.xyz

Hi @ozone.birb.house, could I get a game dev label please? Thank you!

We've been working hard on the first major patch! steamcommunity.com/games/114535... youtu.be/PQtih_yy6IA?...

We're streaming gameplay of the technical test for Hades 2! Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xucg... Steam: t.co/UU3iP3alDS Or twitch: t.co/fdqvOrCYym

Threw together a quick demo of some of the rigs I worked on from Potionomics www.artstation.com/artwork/DvWQBR www.artstation.com/artwork/EvQ6KA Amazing work from the team at Voracious Games for bringing it back to life!

First post! Woo!
