8-directional walk incoming

Hello all Doomsday Valley Supernatural Convention Participants

As a member of the Bizarre Bulletin community, you are invited to the supernatural convention at Doomsday Hotel. If you like power-infused crystals, fortune-telling and the occasional seance with dead people connecting through the veil, this event is for you! Just sign up at the front desk as you arrive.

8-directional walk

Our art department (Karl Längberg) has been stealing a few hours here and there from other duties (usually when the kids have gone to sleep) for a big project and it is now done. It is an 8-directional walk for our main character and "I want to believe" - journalist, Maya Harper. In the demo we included a basic 2-directional (mirrored) walk cycle that was more or less a placeholder.

It is not unusual to mirror the walk cycle animation in order to save time and resources, but we decided to go the extra mile and actually give her the full package. As it is the animation you as a player will constantly be watching, we think it is our duty to do it as interesting as we can with the limited resources we have. We will be adding it to the game engine shortly and it will be live in an upcoming updated demo that we are close to finishing up.

Until next time! Pierre Nilsson and Karl Längberg True Ascension
