First is seeing how viable the x-ray for all scenes is. Very short answer with limited time put in on it is, maybe, but unlikely. WatsonTouya, who drew the artwork and put together the animations for the x-ray used in Ballfondlers, did a bit of looking into it, and there are several big issues.

The first being that the art is for a night time shot, so the images have a blue-ish tinge over them, minor and fixable, but also means new artwork.

Second is the direction of the artwork. While we can easily move the image around the screen, the thrust direction is upwards, which won't match all animations, making it look bizarre if Morty is thrusting in a different direction.

Lastly, and a much larger issue, is frame rate. The x-rays were made to run at 7 frames a second, while most animations in the game are either 24 or 30. Even syncing up the the key frame timing, the different frame speeds look odd together. There may be a way to do it (I could, for example, make in-betweens, or use ATL to add animations, and fill in the "missing" frames), but it is a much bigger project than I had hoped it would be.

Yesss More Xray is great. But I understand the difficulty.

Lastly, I'm working on a collaborative scene that is still in it's early stages and I'm not ready to say much about yet.

What is the main reason for wanting a doc format? Maybe I can do it another way.

The Screenshots are cutting off Much of the text and description on the task. A doc would have been easier to read/Navigate.

When morty first enters the cronenberg dimension (day 30, 'Red Portal'), the cronenberg that slowly approaches morty glitches after 10 seconds or something.

Fixed. Also turned on the missing blinks for Beth and Jerry.

I'm not seeing an issue here, can you give me more detail as to what is going wrong on your end?

I see what he's talking about. Just as the croenenberg is getting to the end of his path, there's a split second it teleports to the far left then back into position where it's stopped.

Actually never mind, I just went back to try and find it happening again, but it seems to have been a one time thing

Zanehere & MobileGrunt I've spent about an hour trying to get this to manifest on my build and it just doesn't want to show up (or I'm looking away when it happens, one of the two). There is no complex code going on here, just a simple ATL easein command to move to x position over 40 seconds. All I could really do is make it shorter, but as it doesn't seem to happen that often, I'm inclined to leave it as is rather than try an fix something I can't see.

Still, thanks for letting me know, I'll add it to my long term bugs that I check every few months to see if there is an engine fix or a solution someone has found.

Yeah, seems to be inconsistent and not always at the same spot. Didn't have it happen when you get to the first line the croenenberg starts appearing, but at least happens most of the time when clicking through an extra line or two.

If a dev is going to make a sandbox then the game has to be built around it. it has to use the sandbox to enhance the gameplay, to let the player have meaningful choices. But so many devs just slap it in as a gameplay substitute. Click around to find the story, no real choices, just extra steps.

A-motherfuckin-men brother (sister?). Stop wasting our time devs!

Progress Report #1 Feb 5 @ 9:00 UTC:
At last, the unity version has arrived, at possibly the worst time for me, but w/e it's here, and I'll do my best to get it ported over in as timely a manner as I can. Be aware that this will take a little longer (I have other things going on, and I want to give my editor more time, and they are pretty busy at the moment too), but as always I'll keep you all updated with progress reports as I make progress.

Currently in the process of pulling out text and images, but it sounds like it's just 1 scene again this time and and it's fucking christmas themed.... Will update this post and make new ones as I have more info for you all! Thanks for staying awesome!
