Last dev post was February. I've seen devlogs with longer gaps get revived

And now it's mid-November. I'm not saying it won't spring back to life, but until then there's no point of having an open thread. I think there are now as many "is this still happening?" posts as posts about panties, both of which absolutely dwarf actual development update posts.

The problem with the jump is that I can show one thousand .gif's but until you don't press the button Hand Any Key you won't feel WTF it.

Yeah, true. In the older version of NIKRA, the player had a slight delay before he jumped. It gave it depth because he crouched when doing so; no one can just jump instantly and quickly without going down and pushing up.
Though it made the game feel slower, and less progressing. Which is the same idea behind attacking; you have to make it cinematic and dynamic, while preserving speed and fluidity.
Complicated stuff. But good stuff.

Can't wait bro! I've heard of this game for a while and I absolutely love it.

While I'm here, would you be keen for a CameoSwap? I'd love for the main protagonist in NIKRA, Tae, to meet this chick from IRKALLA (I forgot her name for a second Sad )

@ENDESGA Thanks! Smiley

At the end, the two most important params are how much time of pressing the jump button you take into account, and the shape of the "height" curve. And then tweak that. The problem with the jump is that I can show one thousand .gif's but until you don't press the button Hand Any Key you won't feel WTF it.

More gifs will be revealed ... but I can not tell you when Cool Stay tuned !!

I'm going back to work! have a nice weekend Coffee

That seems so bloody intricate! But very interesting to read :D

I personally just have (basically) a horizontal variable, gravity, air and ground friction. I find for a good platformer, high acceleration and deceleration are key. As well as the fluidity and speed of the control reaction.

From the odd videos and .gifs you shown off, the running looks pretty darn good. Though, I'd love to see some more gifs!

Awesome work man! I'm definitely gonna follow this DevLog

@Deftoneish Glad you like it! Smiley

@wzl Well, once it is more polished, we'll see what we do with the tool. (If I'm not too ashamed of the code, perhaps open source it?)

@ENDESGA Thanks! We do not post very often because we are busy working on it  Well, hello there!

The past weekend I re-wrote the code for the main character jump. We found that what we had didn't have too much room for tweaking with what we had, so we had to change it a little bit.

This is how the MC Jump Model works now:

For the game, although we think the best experience would be a gamepad, we do not plan to use analog input (so the experiencie remains the same when playing in a keyboard).

On the horizontal movement: we have the walk speed, the running speed, and in-between a small time (that we can modify easily) about how much time it takes to get from min to max speed, and a different time for stopping. Running will be acomplished with a button/key.

On the vertical part, we want to set a min jump height, and a maximum height, but also to give the player the control of the jump.

So we have 2 different stages of jump:
- preparation: we actually have an animation for this part, that is when the MC prepares to perform the actual jump.
- afterburner: (i've put that name, if you have a better/adequate name, please tell me Tongue) that is the part of the jump when the MC has already taken off, but, if still pressing the jump button, it can make it jump higher.

So, the complete velocity for a jump is composed of 3 parts: min jump velocity + preparation velocity + afterburner velocity.

Since we know the min/max height we want we have fixed the min/max velocity.  We split the difference between the preparation velocity (proportional to the time it takes to play the prepare jump animation), and the afterburner velocity (that is proportional to the afterburner time -> a param we can tweak). 

Lets say for example the animation takes 0.25 seconds, and we put an afterburner time of 0.25 (the maximum time to control the jump height would be 0.5 seconds).

Every row in this figure represents a different proportion of "velocity weight" on each stage of the jump: The first row, all velocity is gained in the preparation jump, on the second one there is on part of the velocity jump that is gained in the 'afterburner stage', and in each row, the contribution proportion of that part grows.

Then we have the boxes:
- The red one : the width represents the time the player keeps pressing the jump button, the height the proportion of the maximum velocity is getting by pressing the button until that time.
- The green one: the width marks the point where the preparation animation ends, and the height the proportion of the max velocity you get at that point.
- The yellow one: the same , but for the last part of the jump.
- The cyan one: is there to mark the minimum velocity threshold

And then we have the parabola, that is the height the MC versus time.



Or, looking at it in another way, here we have two rows:
- the first row is the vertical velocity the MC gets versus the time it keeps pressing the button. And in each column we have a different proportion of the importance of the (prepare/after) stage of the jump.
- on the second row how it maps to the height.



So this way we have these params to tweak:
- min height
- max height
- time after the MC has taken off that can still boost the jump
- ratio of importance of the preparation part of the jump versus the part where it is already on air.

I've been playing with those params and I think that this model is good enough to get a jump that "feels good".
