Falling/Jumping off Ledges/Platforms
Most of this week was spent on trying to make the falling/jumping off edges/platforms work. We got quite far and even got the AI to jump of the edges (example 1 and example 2). However, we couldn't get the players to jump down the ledges.
After some research, we found it was due to an engine bug/limitation (thanks Unity). Therefore, as of now, we are officially not going to work anymore on the falling/jumping off edges feature. This means it will not be in the final release of the game. We might go back to it sometime in the future when we are closer to shipping the final game, but right now, we want to get back to creating more content for the game.
In Other News
Next week, we will be at Insomnia Gaming Festival, and following this we will be at Reboot Develop (conference). Because of that, the next two updates might be smaller than normal. Come say hi if you are at Insomnia :)
We will also be selling merchandise and Steam keys for Akuto: Mad World at Insomnia. The steam keys will be sold at a slightly reduced price from our regular price on Steam, and will only be available to purchase at events.
