(milestone) New Talas Animations - xavier150/MMVS GitHub Wiki
The New Talas Animations were a community-voted suggestion for a Macro Micro VR Service update. This suggestion was originally planned to take two months of development but ended up taking nine months.
The goal of this update was to add new animations for Talas. To restore all the animations that have been missing since v0.3.1, add mirrored animations so Talas can stomp with the foot of his choice, and add ambient animations that Talas can use at any time during his routines, like looking out the window or interacting with the environment. There are also playful animations like leaning against the wall and showing off his talons.
Talas was also supposed to get more animations involving Cobble, such as rubbing Cobble’s head between his toes.
And of course, this time, the goal was to make all the animations fully usable by the AI.
In the end, this update required me to completely rework the entire animation system and integrate the modular management that is now used in the game. I reviewed and improved all of Talas's animations, added new animations so Talas can move and pose on the bed. He can also lie down against the wall and show his paws. Talas now has new reactions: he can nod or shake his head, and show confusion to the players.
And the AI can use all these animations in-game.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to add the mirrored animations or restore all the animations removed in v0.3.1 due to lack of time. This will be done later.
I strongly encourage you to read or browse the development logs to see the work that has been done.
