the trick i’m using to get some decent looking balancing is to model the upper and lower spine separately. my thinking is that the lower spine is where all the balance happens (since it’s entirely manipulated by the abdomen muscles), and the upper spine we kind of use to try to keep a vibe of uprightness. the upper spine has slower critical damping, while the lower spine anticipates and overshoots.

some debug for walking the boulder. big red arrow is user input, big white arrow is the force i'm applying to the boulder, black circle is where i want emmer to walk toward, and the series of smaller arrows are lower level controller stuff (cyan is just terrain normal, black is direction she should face, magenta is velocity, and the positions are the target positions stretched out 1 second into the future).

highly recommend making a fully procedural character controller, there's no way you'll spend too much time working on it.

finally bent this thing far enough to trigger (weighty feeling) attacks when you expect as the player without loss of plausibility. it changes to slowmo so you can see when i switch into attack mode.

lots of work to make difficult traversal feel natural, fraught and fun. the player controls which direction emmer faces, so you have to rotate her to walk across narrow stretches.

from the start i wanted character motion that was precise, realistic and responsive enough to be a core game mechanic itself. v excited about how good this feels with that goal in mind. +a little combat! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity #unity3d
