Eek! Games Is Now Using Motion Capture Tech! (Patreon)
Content
This is gonna be awesome. Buckle up, doods.
It may not surprise you that House Party hasn't historically used motion capture for any in-game character animations. We're a small studio and it wasn't even that long ago when House Party officially released from Early Access.
But we have exciting news to announce: We just purchased our first mocap suit!
So, what does that mean and why is it so hype-worthy?
Motion capture lets us create character animations MUCH easier. Body movements will also look a lot more fluid and realistic than animations crafted by hand - and creating them will be way faster.
That's right. We can make better animations quicker for characters in both House Party and Office Party! We hope you're hyped for what this means for the future of both games, doods!
(Here's an example of the mocap in use:)
(The suit allows us to create an animation from scratch to use in-game!
The top animation made with the suit was used to make this sexy on-the-bed pose for the new Murder Mystery Expansion Pack guest. Wonder what this is for...?)
Excited to see more? You'll get your first peek at the mocap tech in action very soon when we share our official identity reveal!
