TLDR: No release, test scene as a whole, canceled. I will just continue as usual next month, slowly adding bits of mocap animation in my scenes. Decide if I should just pause charges. It's going to be tough, but I simply fucked up with my decisions yet again.
Context and my clown ass excuses
We recorded like +700 mocaps this week. Mostly same stuff but done again and again, I was simply going through each raw animation and choose the best one to polish & add to the scene.
Most animations I've gone through look good on their own but when I put the scene together and started to test it, it turned up weird and all over the place. Not much stuff to actually have fun despite the interactions. And I know some of you guys and gals are tired of me coming out with scenes like this.
So far I've only released stuff I would like to play myself and this one I just don't want to put out here.
For the record, I don't think I was in over my head again.
The animations and poses are really cool, the performance is great but the environment ended up kind of a limbo instead of feeling real, the view options are confusing and I guess I f**ed up with the concept this time. I took something which should be added as "flavor," and made it the main thing.
Or maybe because it was supposed to be for testing so it felt underwhelming when I played it as an actual scene.
I really wanted to release something good before the end of the month so maybe I also rushed it, I don't know. I've slept like 8 hours in the last 3 days, really wanted to start with a bang with the mocaps but yeah, f**k me and my brilliant ideas.
