Im back

After 10 busy days, Im back to work. Well, sort of.

My pockets are empty, but I had some good times that worth the expenses. The books presentation was a bit dissapointing, but we have to consider that the launch was in a very distant place, and such large event as an international Fair tends to dilute the attention. Im pleased to say that even the most demanding readers (the fantasy writers) liked my book, but they all agree in consider the illustration work as bad. Couldnt meet many readers in the Fair, but I have been receiving good critics from them too, yesterday I even got news from the daughter of a former coworker, who saw the book in the library.

I was interviewed for a couple of indie documentaries, one of them about game development in Cuba. That is an issue that generated some interest: me as game developer, besides writer. I had the chance to meet my first 3D artist and discuss about the project. Soon you will see his work. I also met another game developer, who is working in a multiplayer FPS, and coincidently, is also a fan of weapons and planes like me.

Too many things to resume in a few paragraphs and my memory tends to forget most of them. Now, I have to go back to work.

Isometric camera with Godot

Took some effort and some of my sleep hours, but at last, I made it. Here is my first videotutorial: implementing an isometric camera in 3D, with Godot. Useful if you want to emulate the look of old classics like Fallout 2, but with some extra features. Considering that my voice is not so nice, and my english pronounciation is even worse, I also added texts to help you underestand what Im saying. You will also notice some background noise, but cant do anything to solve that. Any suggestion is welcome. Expect another tutorial soon.... or sor tof. This time, will be about my AI system.

Unity3d isometric camera tutorial

I had pending this since a month ago, so Im forcing myself to post it today. The goal is to provide a fully functional isometric like system that you can use with few or none modifications in your own game. So, lets get started. Start Unity3d and in your scene, add an empty GameObject, we will call it target . Create a camera object and drag it to target to make it child. The result looks like this: Now select Camera and set the values to this: For a true isometric like feeling, ortho projection is essential. You could use perspective, but it is not the same. Play with Size to suit your needs (we will be using this later, when implementing zoom). Now, lets create an script named CameraController, or whatever, and drag it to target GameObject. Lets implement scrolling, the easier part: go to Update() and add the following code: if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.W)) {             dir = UP;         } e...

Testing animation retargeting in Godot 4

 We have finished the project and it is time tostart a new one. This time, I have convinced the team to work on a combat  prototype and try Godot 4. After a month, Im quite pleased with the progress. Specially, we have applied animation retargeting, which is a new feature in Godot 4. In previous project, our main artist devised a clever way to reuse animations, but now we have a native solution. Our first attemp didnt worked, but I found that remapping the armature starting by the feet solved the problem. Weird, isnt it? By the way, you can see the prototype here . WE are keeping it public to let people learn from our mistakes. And, if you need some animation retargeting tutorial, this is the guide we used:
