i uploaded a new update (v0.4) fixing several old and new issues but also new animations for the pentapuss. it now reacts to hits and misses and has a Multiplier state as shown here (the lit part is animated). i found a bug with custom shaders that kept me from doing some stuff (submitted the bug to...

i've released version 0.3 with the stuff shown here so far. the tentacles can be turned off and on from the application menu. I've also added volume controls for the songs and for the song previews. I want to make these controls more granular to control the different tracks etc, but I haven't decide...

and this is what the tops now look like. i did so many different versions from feathers, scales, etc. and this is what i landed on, not the best but i think i'm exhausted from experimenting. i know it kinda looks like a victorian cake tin, but i think i can pull it away from that once i do the color...

a little progress on the texturing. finished the stamped design for the bottom. I tried all kinds of ways to make it, from physically modeling and transferring normals, to sculpting in zbrush, making masks in illustrator. in the end i just freehand painted them very carefully. The top will be very d...

some material directions for the tentacles. these were just slapped on for experimentation. the end products would be more customed and have at least one lighting element. here i'm showing Space Junk (it could also be spacehip-like), stamped metal (steampunk lite), or abstract pattern https://i.imgu...

here is another tentacle animation. this is for when the player is in the groove or multiplier of 4. there are several inensities of this animation depending on the song. i'll still be working on more because once arranged on the background, the angles might not look good, but this is the last one i...

more tentacle animation tests. i've done several with many more to go. trying to think procedurally to many events as dynamic as possible.

here is an experiment with everything put together. next i'll be working on the actual models and animations. the graphical glitches like the particle system is all figured out.

experiment for possible gameplay background. i'm reusing the menu tentacles but the idea is that they would be more dimensional and the movement would sync to beats and stuff.

i completed the animations for the tentacles. i think i'm happy with it. the arm segments are swappable in case i want different models and the animations are programatic. i had more dymanic movement going but it became very distracting. i might make it more rigid as it should remain a background el...

i had not touched this in a long time till last weekend. i added new animation for the instrument selection. the art is placeholder for now. i have a vision in mind.

is there like a pubic domain chart i could distribute with this as a sample?

I uploaded a video with the latest highway updates. in-game is actually smooth, I can't seem to get a good screen recorder

i didn't know about onyx. it actually runs on mac which is awesome, but i was wondering if i can tweak the Ogg quality settings because it seems to make more compressed files than c3contools.
