00:00In this video, I'll show the changes for Evergrowth Alpha 203, which you can try if you've preordered.
00:06First, I made it easy to try out Aubrey's new dog characters by pressing the number 8.
00:11I also finally added some tail physics to add a bit more secondary motion.
00:16This will be especially important for cats and rats, since they have much longer tails.
00:21We wanted the dogs to be somewhat bigger than rabbits, but a bit smaller than wolves,
00:25so I added a scale parameter to easily fine-tune size without having to change the models.
00:34While I was scaling bones, I tried using non-uniform scale to approximate differences in ear size, fat, and muscle,
00:41and the results worked better than I expected.
00:43Since these effects use bone scaling instead of vertex morphs, they automatically work on any character model without any additional
00:49effort.
00:50This feature should be really useful for communicating character differences to the player.
00:54For example, we could always make one of the characters much faster than the other,
00:58but now we could reshape the characters to make it much more visible.
01:10I also incorporated the character shapes into the arena, so there is a more visible progression from the easier fighters
01:16to the more difficult ones,
01:18aside from just darkening their uniforms.
01:21That's it for this video, if you'd like to pre-order, and try the alpha for yourself,
01:25and get a free copy of Receiver and Lowlight Combat,
01:28you can do that at wolfhire.com slash pre-order.
01:32If you'd like to hear about development news as soon as it happens,
01:35you can follow me on Twitter at Wolfhire.
