February 26th Update (Patreon)

This week I did a few things, mostly programming and shader related.

Starting off kinda boring, I started finalizing the controls, and adding controller support.  The run button now needs to be held down, instead of being a toggle, and over all the controller should work to play the game.

I also worked on some stuff with materials.  I was looking at a way of making objects disappear and reappear, or changes states, but not instantly.  I put together a material that would allow objects to basically do a wipe from one texture or material setting, to another.  

For Example:

Here is how it looks in the material editor:

The Parameter "Vertical Position" is edited by a blueprint to achieve the effect.

One use for this would be a character getting dunked in water, and only appearing wet up to the point they went in.

Another could be disappearing and reappearing clothing.....   You guys remember the Witcher 2 bath scene.

I also went and made a standing tribb animation for Meridiana and the Incubus.  I feel like standing would be a better transition for another animation I want to add.

That animation can be seen here:  http://imgur.com/Fktcrbm 

Finally, besides continueing to fix bugs, I also looked at freezing not just enemies, but objects with a time stop spell.  I think that would make a neat puzzle.  I tried to take a screen shot of everything frozen, but it ended up just looking like a regular screen shot.  

That's about it for this week, as always I'd love to hear and feedback, questions, concerns, etc.
