We just dropped our 4th major update for Ground of Aces, please take a look. 🫣

If you're into 4x grand strategy, Feudums here is surely something you should try - they've just released an update and you can play the demo for free:

Fellow swiss gamedevs just went into EA with Goblin Sushi - please try it out if it looks like your type of (fish)cake! 🍣

Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

Can’t trust what the federal US agencies say. For others who don‘t want to look at the video, here‘s a timeline: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Everyone freezing on the East Coast or in the Midwest remember: Kyiv has the same weather, except that hundreds of thousands of people don't have electricity, heating or running water

I might be biased but always looking forward to see all the awesome games coming from Switzerland; the Swiss Game Awards will be on the 18th of December!

The character I chose for the visualisation of the animation fixes is a W.A.A.F cook btw - added in the newest Ground of Aces update.

Here with the fixed "drinking alcohol" animation.

Here's a fixed animation that had some other issues; eating. The hands would just go and make an X. Sometimes with #indiegame dev things have to be done quick, so it wasn't implemented properly.
Still it was something that bothered me and is now finally resolved.

Since our characters do now have HPs and can be injured, we've added animation for injuries as well.
But the one we've got for the idle was walking... so I've reduced the motion and added some tweaks. Bottom is masked and using the idle.

Thanks!

One reason for the disappearing parts: we have four body types: "regular", "buff", "thin" and "round". Additionally, since the last update we've added female characters. So while an animation might be totally fine for some characters, arms will disappear for others.

This week I went through the Ground of Aces animations and fixed the most bothering issues through better aligning them to our rig.
Left is old, right is new.
The goal is to have less disappearing body parts no matter the body type.

Just saw that Blender will drop Intel Mac support with Blender 5 (which will release in the next weeks), so if you're on a Mac with Intel processor keep in mind: 4.5 will be the last version for you.

Crazy, congratulations!

Two of them doing some leisure activities (was testing if the animations work).

There'll be 5 jobs with 4 different body types + quite an amount of new head / eye etc. models.

I guess this will be patched (👀) out of the game, but personally I really dig the Kill Bill nurse in our game.

The visual with all the gauges showing 0 pressure made me giggle tho. 😀
Looking forward to look at all the labels.
