LogInCalum Torrington shared progress on MAXIMA: Keepers of the 2nd Law.
In MAXIMA: Keepers of the 2nd Law, a surreal souls-like shooter evoking the aesthetics of the mysterious Astral Plane appearing in Remedy Entertainment's Control, you fight supernatural bosses, unlock powerful abilities from a branching skill tree, and navigate through ever-shifting challenging arenas.
Game Developer Calum Torrington demonstrated how he enhanced the shooting animations by incorporating dynamic sci-fi visual effects, adding a new layer of intensity. Although they're still a work in progress, the character controller here is impressively butter-smooth. The developer shared that it was created entirely from scratch and utilizes motion matching for core locomotion, complemented by a range of Mecanim poses and IK passes to ensure fluidity in movement.
"The character basically being one big VFX graph also helps with some of the blending and feel", commented Calum Torrington. Check out the game's trailer below:
