Update

Hello everyone. It's been another while.

Last time I mentioned I was working on a new higgs grab and some weapon collision stuff. I did re-implement the higgs grab in a more proper way that actually respects the weight of the object you're grabbing and puts a limit on how much forge you can exert on something. It also properly acts as a pivot point where you grab it, which is what I really wanted in order to make it work fine with long objects such as when you would grab an enemy's weap...

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a good new years.

I finally finished most of the improvements that I wanted to make with respect to NPCs getting up from being ragdolled. There ended up being a lot of things to fix in the base game for this, but I'm pretty happy with the result, especially for humanoids.

Hi everyone, it's been a little while.

I mentioned last time that while I was implementing a hit interface for planck, I was going to do something about power attacks.

Redoing the weapon swings also fixed some issues like things happening twice, both during when a swing was detected and a hit occurrin...

Update

Hi everyone, I just want to share an update on the current state of things.

A few weeks ago I released the last update to planck which included most of the short-term stuff that I mentioned in the first post.
NPC reactions took longer than I had imagined to get right and took a few iterations to wrap my head around how to make a decent aggression system. The final version is actually pretty simple relative to other things I tried, and is just based on the amount of time they are grab...

What I'm working on

First off I just want to thank you all as I didn't expect much support considering there aren't any perks. I thought I'd share what I'm working on and what I have planned for the future.

In the near future:
- Add more reactions to NPCs when you're messing with them, e.g. more dialogue, have them stop using any furniture they're using, and eventually trigger a bounty or have them get upset and start attacking you.
- Potentially also have a larger bump reaction for NPCs when you rea...
