It's A Boss Fight: The Wolf Lich - Trailer
Try the free demo, or buy the full version here!!! birdmaskstudio.itch.io/its-a-boss-fight-the-wolf-lich
A one-on-one boss fight, with 3 stages, Magic, Hidden and Feral
Our first combat game! A three stage boss fight against a magic wielding wolf lich. Controls are simple - punch, dodge and jump.
Do your best to land some clean hits to the head, while you duck and dive to avoid attacks.
FEATURES
The fight has 3 Stages, even though it's our first game with combat, we wanted to go a bit grand.
The Lich glides around in the air and uses a mix of long range magic and fast close up jabs to deal with you.
The Hidden phase, with fog to blind you, the boss will dart in and out of range to attack.
Finally The Feral, giving up all reason, the boss goes at you with powerful physical attacks.
CONTROLS
This game can be played with mouse and keyboard, but is best experienced with a gamepad controller
(Note: The Steams app controller emulator may mess with the controls if you are having trouble, turning steam off may help. Please test with the web or downloadable demo to be sure)
Word From The Devs
It's taken a while to develop this one, so we hope you find this a fun little boss fight.​
Here's looking forward to our next game, hopefully with a faster turn around time.

Ragdoll Update - A lot more Fancy Moves

Well it's been over a month since I've updated the ragdoll project here, so thought I would do a quick vid. A lot has been added since February, mainly I've been working on the grapple state, making distinct combat modes and adding basics essentials like a better camera. By this point, I've almost got all the player and enemy moves in. Next it's cleaning up the transitions between said combat m...

Ragdoll Update - Basic Enemy AI and Input Manager
Переглядів 3789 місяців тому
I'm getting as far as I can get punching at a static enemy, so I've started work on the enemy AI. Nothing crazy, it just follows the player, but that also meant I had to make a middle manager for the player inputs into something a AI could also use. It's nice that I can start experimenting with a target that has some agency. To begin with, I'll want to give it dodging and avoidance behaviors, g...
Ragdoll Update - Mild Self Awareness and Combat States

More work on the combat manager, which lets me have more control over how the ragdolls act and animate. Now they have some self awareness I can add more complex motions. Still more work, but it's just nice to get stuff in. I would like the ragdolls to be a bit stiffer, or firmer in their placement in the world, but that's something to tackle when I add damage, right now, just focusing on behavi...

As I say in the video, I've got a basic grab and punch in, so I can see how they play out. To go further, i'm going to have to work on the combat AI, both player and enemy along with the controls. For this game, I don't want the buttons to be blunt. You the play press the button, I don't care how I hit or grab the other guy, I just want to do it, and it's up to the AI to work out how to do said...

If people are interested with that, then hopefully I can develop it further ...

    This is really cool. I'm starting my gamedev journey in Unreal and I want to have this sort of physical/procedural/ik system alongside canned animations for every game i make regardless of genre. It just looks great when you have the two systems feeding off and reacting to each other.

    If you change the punch animation from a jab to a hook when the AI has both hands on you, that interaction will look alot better, the players punches will be able to reach over the arms of the AI (more natural). It may also help to widen the base of their feet just a bit when engaged in a clinch. The AI may be better situated to balance itself and will also look more natural. (both are standing too straight up with their feet too close together, realistically.. they would have fallen a few times tripping their own feet and each others legs

    Your channel is what introduced me to active ragdolls beyond simply knowing about gangbeasts, and I’m always looking forward to your posts On another note, are those footsteps procedural? And were they difficult to get working?

  • @NimsoStudios
    @NimsoStudios 9 місяців тому

    What do you use to power the ragdoll joints? Are you taking the "floating pins" approach or are the joints actually powered? If you'd like to get some reference on handling ragdoll bodies I've got plenty of stuff on my channel, primarily designed around VR full body ragdoll but it applies outside of that too. My aim in general is to build a very easy to control ragdoll and then use standard game practices to make the NPCs animate and move the targets in the way they want to coupled with some procedural elements like how to move the legs when running around.

    • @BirdmaskStudio
      @BirdmaskStudio 9 місяців тому

      Sounds awesome, i'll be sure to give them a watch! I have worked with powered joints before, my favorite prototype being this one www.artstation.com/artwork/klBP46 (Main examples at bottom of page) that gave my ragdolls a sense of muscle tension and resistance, but I had problems when developing the joint systems, and procedural animations and overall movement managers at the same time. That's why for this specific game, i'm starting off with a simple minimal physics approach. This model will have basic active ragdoll drivers, and its different limbs will blend between having no physics, just IK driven movement, to collide-able phys driven movement again when needed. This let's me work out the complex walking system, animation and combat managers without fighting the physics on the edge cases. Once this game is done, the hope is to have a stable foundation, to then start incorporating the more complex ragdoll drivers from my other prototypes, as modular pieces (I really miss the joint tension system from the link above, and would love it at least on the arms for blocking and pushing actions) on top of a proven to work, 3rd person action game character. Sorry for the wall of text, rarely get to talk about the behind the scenes, so it's nice to be able to talk about plans and the old prototypes.

    How to you come up with the code ? Are you using an asset like animation rigging or puppetmaster?

    • @BirdmaskStudio
      @BirdmaskStudio 9 місяців тому

      My own code. About 3 years ago I couldn't find much on working with Ragdolls, so I just started messing around making different systems and learnt from there - Previous models can be seen on videos on this channel - This current game, is an attempt to combine a bunch of the things I've learnt, into a single stable humanoid model, that I can keep building on game to game going onward.

  • @BirdmaskStudio
    @BirdmaskStudio 9 місяців тому

    Managed to get a fair amount in testing after recording this last night. Some very good push and dragging the target around the scene, with relatively simple code. Just need to get the combat manager set up to be able to handle all these different potential states, but the ragdolls are holding up.

      No idea myself, since I have no idea how to use machine learning, but as someone working with designing procedural animation stuff, honestly, you don't need to go as crazy as I have with it to start getting some really good results by just mixing a little bit of code with your animation.

      @BirdmaskStudio Рік тому

      Yeah, server sync is one of the new areas i'll need to look into, been a while. My plan is, drawing and placing spells is all pretty much local at the moment, and when you draw a valid circle, that goes through a spell manager. Hope is that after I finish getting the playable bit of the design working I only really need to go to one spell spawning script, and make sure the server tells all local instances to *Place Circle 5 Here*
