Death animations!

Posted by mmankt - June 17th, 2011

Hi! A long time without an update but I finally have a few days to work on my game. It's not like I didn't spend any time on it during the last month - I took any free time I could to make some awesome death animations. Ragdolls are awesome but blending them with a death animation is even more awesome! I started implementing a death animation system yesterday's evening. Here's a small preview of the system in work:

Currently it works like this: a character can go instantly to ragdoll OR play a death animation that transits into ragdoll at the end. It can be also interrupted after you shoot him again.
The animation is decided by character state, bullets direction and caliber.
There are some strange problems that I have to addres but my hopes are high.
The next step will be much cooler.

Stay tuned!

Its rag doll physics based? I love a good rag doll physics shooting game.
Keep it up. it seems great. and i don't care if its 2D. Oh and a suggestion.
Can you make the bodies not disappear when they die? i like it that way.
,please? thanks and when is it coming out?

mmankt 2011-06-17 09:46:15

well you can see the ragdolls in the video. bodies have to disappear because after a while the flash player would choke. game is set to release at the end of july, cheers.

This is looking like it's going to be incredibly awesome once you finish it, I hope the actual game is as good as the teasers you keep giving us, because if it is, it's going to be absolutely awesome.

MindChamber 2011-06-17 11:16:34

cant wait for this game to come out, its looking amazing!

HolyKonni 2011-06-17 11:33:40

WOW this looks awesome!

bluehat94 2011-06-17 12:41:50

wow this is finally going to be released, ive been interested in this game of yours since you announced it

Miccool 2011-06-17 15:23:39

wow, the death animation to ragdoll transition makes it look incredibly natural. Great work

RetributionVox 2011-06-17 15:52:50

EPICCCCCCC. If you need any voices lemme know xD

mmankt 2011-06-17 15:52:50

ow, nice! what kind of voice to you have? you can record some death screams (subtle) and combat taunts like 'reloading' 'die motherfucker' etc :)

DannyDaNinja 2011-06-17 21:59:26

Looks great!

etriuswimbleton 2011-06-18 01:54:49

Actually even though the bodies wont disappear,on some games it does not lag.
like make the corpse a background after they die.Try Find a way. it looks better and more realistic that way. When i play METAL SLUG. u know? the popular arcade shooter. i only care about the death animations. but i was expecting them to not disappear. they just glow out and disappear. hope your game makes it up to the top. and cheers to you too.

mmankt 2011-06-18 01:54:49

i like it when bodies don't disappear too. but the case here is:2d+ it's flash and vector gfx + it's real physics. So if a body falls and then gets transformed into a back ground element the player would want to shoot it etc but it wouldn't work. Also with leaving those bodies (their gfx are big)in a limited area of 2d the player would stop seeing the level - only a mess of bodies. Bodies have to disappear after a some time.

etriuswimbleton 2011-06-19 05:12:26

I want to voice out too. I really got a low voice as a kid. But How can i record my voice that is able to share? Oh and how can i send it to you?e-mail?
Ill be expecting to play the game soon. It looks awesome.Can you try to make a video without seeing the inner look but the finished one or a beta look of it.
I really want to see how the graphics looks like. It looks pretty awesome but
I'm just trying to make sure. thanks for the info too.

mmankt 2011-06-19 05:12:26

u can record some samples and let me know on pm

Peruraptor 2011-06-23 15:59:09

Oh come on, not a single thing vanishes in Weasels games and they work fine. Just don't make the bodies pile up on one another.

mmankt 2011-06-23 15:59:09

i explained it already

Peruraptor 2011-06-23 16:01:24

P.S. When are you going to implement enemy AI.

mmankt 2011-06-23 16:01:24

when all engine features are implemented and the first level is done.

multiguy445 2011-06-25 06:41:38

Will you be adding suits to them so they will look better? i think so, also blood stains on walls and floors would be awesome to, if im only make this harder for you then you dont need to do this, just a suggestion.

mmankt 2011-06-25 06:41:38

of course, look at intruder returns and those are the graphics you can expect. i would like to add blood on walls but i'll have to see how it works out.

Peruraptor 2011-06-25 20:08:38

If the deadline is in July, and your still doing the engine, than your must be able to make levels pretty fast.

mmankt 2011-06-25 20:08:38

the levels are already designed, they just need an editor and all the gfx.

BioSoldier168 2011-06-26 17:42:30

are you sure thath you dont trace your draws in ANY image?? because theyre awesome!!!

mmankt 2011-06-26 17:42:30

i don't think i understand the question? do i trace in game gfx from my drawings? sometimes, i always trace the guns so they are 1:1

BioSoldier168 2011-07-01 18:39:03

sorry my english is bad, :)

damn39 2011-07-13 19:08:06

is the next step creating the simbols already? or are you going to finally show us the rocket launcher?

multiguy445 2011-08-06 15:08:21

Wait... at about 10 seconds into the video the dude falls on the gun Which gave me an idea, If there could be an option to switch to just 'Hands' and go up to a dead corpse and press and hold to lift it to like get it of stuff or use it as a human shield or something like that.

Peruraptor 2011-09-05 22:47:47
