I hope we can make it a timed paywall. Not a huge fan either, but we gotta eat. If I carve out the time I'd love to make a video about the theory (no code snippets) and make that free.

Maybe we should've figured out how to organise the AnimationTree better. This is how the final arrangement looks like (Some of these animation nodes go deeper haha)

Julien Kaspar @julienkaspart.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

When it comes to the AnimationTree on DOGWALK, we barely used any blending. It suited the stop-motion style to instantly switch animation states and use one-shot animation nodes. This is an early version in the video (we had dozens of animations in the end), #b3d #godotengine #gamedev

I'm really working to make Wild Cosmos a polished experience and hope players will notice. If you like what I make, simply sharing it around helps greatly. I don't have a dedicated budget for the game, I'm making it in my free time, this game could be my stepping stone for future projects.

The support would always be appreciated! Right now you would get access to the full source code. You'd need to dissect and investigate yourself how the pipeline works tho. Soon we'll have documentation and guides online.

Since all our animations are on 2s I wait for a signal that a new animation started. This resets a value that's counting delta time. If I take the modulo by the frame time I can check on which frames it syncs up with the animation. But I can also see other ways of doing it.

Julien Kaspar @julienkaspart.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

Oh for a full explanation in the article I'll make more videos to compare the result to how it would look when just linearly interpolated 👍

Julien Kaspar @julienkaspart.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

Luckily no. The actual movementis still at 60 FPS and every input still triggers an immediate feedback and state changes. That's the most important thing.

Julien Kaspar @julienkaspart.bsky.social · 04/06/2025

This kind of approach to 3D animation in games is very inspired by how 2D animated sprites in games move at a low fps, while still feeling responsive and smooth.

Julien Kaspar @julienkaspart.bsky.social · 04/06/2025

Here's some original tests. I had to do multiple things: - Limit and step the possible rotations & animation blending factors - Update only when in sync with the frame-time of the current animation There's way more going on but I'll save that for a full dev log article.

Julien Kaspar @julienkaspart.bsky.social · 04/06/2025

Implementing stop-motion style animation for DOGWALK was fascinating. We animated the characters on 2s (meaning 12 fps). To make the movement sync up I made sure the animation blending & character rotation is matching that, instead of just using linear interpolation! #b3d #godotengine #gamedev
