New Title/Theme/Design Direction(?) : Mazeland 6 : Land of Mages


To move objects or to interact with objects you use magic.
That removes a few issues with the animation-work-flow.
Pixel perfect / collision detectable object interaction was a problem.

Like pushing/pulling rocks/tree-trunks.
Like chopping wood (no axe -land on tree)

When we move into the magic-realm we can use 'spells' to interact with the objects.

We will have an Action Button (Magic button?)

You can't accidentally push or interact with other objects/characters.

Only when used with the action-key + direction to which the action is aimed, can you do the action.

Worked on some trees and bushes. Not sure if this is the right atmosphere:

Different type of characters on stage

When multiple of them same character are on the same scene.

Drawing hedges and scanning them. What a mess that was to get them to align!

Align them to form a rectangle and put my family in it:

Different characters and hedges:

Mower. He mowes the grass into a pile of hay.

Characters moveable on grid .. idea is that the sticks are under the floor. Sticks that hold up characters

Animations

The handdrawn characters still don't make a good feel for the game.
Also the drawing of the bushes/trees don't satisfy me.

I've experimented with some 3D stuff.
Testing 2D image using png-to-svg and using svg file to import in tinkercad
Also testing using Blender to create boxed/rectangle character. All of them OBJs into mixamo and convert FBX into MD5 or MD2 files and using them with Away3D library .



That didn't give the vibe I was looking for

3D black & white world

Using blender, mixamo, aseprite to make a top-side-down view.
