Dev Update #95: Animation improvements
Added 2025-12-06 18:00:11 +0000 UTCStudio Shigeki is excited to announce a significant update in development that marks a big improvement to the project. This development introduces a fully overhauled animation pipeline, delivering smoother, more responsive character movement and setting new standards for overall fidelity within the mod.
Over the past several months, the team has undertaken a ground-up reconstruction of the animation systems to enhance performance, improve blending, and ensure consistent behavior across all character states. The result is a far more fluid and polished gameplay experience, built to support future features and expanded content with greater stability.
Among the most notable fixes in this update is the long-awaited resolution of the infamous “V bone” issue, a persistent and highly visible deformation bug that affected numerous character animations and permanently broke the bone until a full system reset. After extensive debugging, reweighting, and engine-level adjustments, the problem has been resolved across currently used animations.
