The Milk Lake @themilklake.bsky.social · 30/07/2026sorry for not posting for so long, but i'm making great progress and excited to share more about the game soon! here's a look at how the procedural character controller makes simple obstacles challenging and fun: 4665
The Milk Lake @themilklake.bsky.social · 21/03/2026lots of work to make difficult traversal feel natural, fraught and fun. the player controls which direction emmer faces, so you have to rotate her to walk across narrow stretches. 1325
The Milk Lake @themilklake.bsky.social · 09/12/2025some debug for walking the boulder. big red arrow is user input, big white arrow is the force i'm applying to the boulder, black circle is where i want emmer to walk toward, and the series of smaller arrows are lower level controller stuff. 0101
The Milk Lake @themilklake.bsky.social · 08/09/2025yes! a spooky adventure game called the milk lake 100
The Milk Lake @themilklake.bsky.social · 06/08/2025if you look in the river, the river looks back 0113
The Milk Lake @themilklake.bsky.social · 02/07/2025highly recommend making a fully procedural character controller, there's no way you'll spend too much time on it. 4334
The Milk Lake @themilklake.bsky.social · 27/06/2025haven't posted in a while, so here's a little gameplay 1152

The Milk Lake @themilklake.bsky.social · 05/03/2025character animation is very immersion breaky for me, so i'm trying to do the "simple" stuff well rather than something super comprehensive. also atmosphere and sense of place are more important to me, so i'll be happy if it's good enough to disappear in the experience instead of break immersion. 100
The Milk Lake @themilklake.bsky.social · 05/03/2025yeah i don't think that's a mischaracterization! i want the character motion to read as "plausible" enough with control precise enough that just moving around is a core gameplay mechanic. 100
The Milk Lake @themilklake.bsky.social · 05/03/2025the character controller is twin stick, so you get fine control for tricky steps 2242

The Milk Lake @themilklake.bsky.social · 07/01/2025ha yeah, most of the transitions between environments in the game are dream logicky/don't make sense. this looks more smoke and mirrors than it is tho, i'm really just unloading the dungeon level when the camera can't see it anymore. 200
