"Code-wise, antennae are just legs that point into the air." This is even funnier when you consider the evolution of arthropods - many features of arthropods were simply legs at some point that got re-purposed. So this is accurate to both the game, and reality. Note: pedipalps are the same deal lol. Baby spiders are actually born with 10 walking legs, 2 of which later become the pedipalps

remember, the leg is always composed of a Femur, Tibia, Fibula, Tarsus, metatarsus and digits. us, humans, are plantigrades, this means that when we stand our tarsus, metatarsus and digits are touching the ground. dogs are Digitigrades, they uses only the digits to stand up and walk . so, to solve the "Dog problem", give him "Bigger Feets" and make him walk with his digits.

I think some way this could go would be to have fish be powerful but require to be merged with something that has legs or wings to fight on land, or else it'd flop around.

I would love to play with this creature editor. The idea you introduced in your last video where giving your creature items early on in its evolution would change how its final form looked sounds really interesting. I can't wait to see where this goes!

If you can add varying stiffness to the entire bodies of the creatures, I think you can get a more realistic look depending on how you vary those parameters per creature. Having the full body all wiggly on something like a salamander looks great, but not so much on the dog. If you made the torso more stuff, but kept the tail just as wiggly on the dog, then i think it would move more dog like. This could also help with insects, where only the joints connecting particular parts actually bed, but the parts themselves are stiff. And stiffness would allow you to create something like a turtle more easily down the line.

i think you should let fish flop around like magikarp out of water

Hey, doesn't seem like you are continuing this series but I wanted to say this is the coolest procedural 3d modeling I have ever seen. I was planning on doing something similar for my game but gave up because it seemed way too difficult and am planning on doing 2d procedural sprites instead. Have you ever considered making this into plugin or something you could sell? I would for sure try and make it work in my game and I imagine other people may be super interested too.

I likie that, since you've already made the backbone of this system, you can just show us "making an ant using a lizard" like that, super cool.

3:43 who's That Pokémon? It's rattata!

Those were the craziest 2.5D sprites I've seen. They literally look like perfect 2D sprites.

This is CRAZY. I would be so proud of myself if I coded something like this. I think theres such a beauty to procedurally generating art for you. You earned yourself a sub at just 3 videos.

Dunno if you're still active, but keep it up! If this video series ends here imma be real sad. You were a big inspiration and I started coding again after watching your videos, man.

Dealing with bird wings seems relatively easy, when they "close" they can just play an animation and transition into a texture on the body, then stop rendering them until they open again

This is my first time seeing this channel, from the first seconds if seeing the came i can tell it's gonna be awesome!

This is just too good! You are by far one of the greatest GMS devs I know!

Just keep coming back and watching these videos over and over. So stoked!

This game on appearance alone has me sold. What a beautiful world! Thank you so much for this insight into its development, it’s so fascinating seeing the hurdles a dev encounters when bringing their vision to life.

This is ridiculously underrated content.

Very cool! Nice work on the mammals. I think the most noticable difference between a lizard and mammals is, the lizard legs sticks out from the side of the body, while mammal legs go down from the body to better support its weight.

That king dude should be a mascot of some kind.

I'm just discovering this series and holy shit. There's nothing I don't enjoy so far. Your humor is great, the content itself is great, the animations are great, the textures are great, I CRAVE more of this and I want to play this game

First of all: This is sooo cool²! To the mammal-problem: I guess the problem is the skeleton. Look at a dog and a lizard and identify their middle-hand bone. Dogs basically walk on their fingers/toes(Metacarpal bones) while lizards are more like humans, which walk on their carpal bones. The uncool part is: There are only two types of this - they are either 0 or 1. Everything in between doesn't make much sense. So a transformation is difficult, i guess. Maybe if you scale and rotate it in some way... Your solution is totally awesome. Maybe even better than reality. So keep on coding!

@@matsveritas2055 I guess you mean vertebrates instead of invertebrates? Because spiders or worms don't share that much bone structure with each other. Yes, the bone structure is pretty similar. But the purpose is the problem here: You can either walk on your fingers/toes or on your carpal bones. There is no "in between" which makes much sense. Both of them can exists, but you can only walk on one of them at the time. So a fluent transformation between them is.. dificult i guess.

Bestiary: The monster creator

so happy youtube decided to recommend this to me. Love the art and movements, love the idea of being able to generate things, like I can spend hours on "generator" sites (e.g. character gen, story gen, map gen, color pallet gen, etc.). Seeing someone else create something where they can do this themselves and create new combinations that become whole new exciting things is just so cool to me. It's almost overwhelming, because it reminds me that there are means out there for me to learn this sorta shit. Wobbledogs scratched the "creating new things and ideas through generation" itch for me recently, briefly, but I'm hoping in the future a little more creative and intentional control is offered to the player. At least with more ease. Time to check out more content from this channel now

the little spider jumps were adorable

This is neat! If you are still trying to figure out how to incorporate fish on land, may I suggest a solution? Since you seem to be going for a pokemon/digimon/that type of game, I would assume these monsters are going to have abilities and moves, most of which will stretch logic for the sake of coolness. To have fish on land, you could basically have the fish continually "using a move" like water jet, but aimed downward, which would suspend them in the air on a cushion of water. From a physics perspective, it doesn't make a lot of sense, but from a cool perspective, it's pretty cool. Best part is that you don't have to change the fish animation/movement code, all ya got to do is a little particle fun and viola!

UGH IM IN LOVE WITH THIS, thank you for this incredible gift you are blessing the world with

In monster games I prefer all monsters to be usable so it would be better if there was like environment limits so fish could only be used in water or maybe an item that allowed fish to be used on land (robot legs,Levitation pad etc)

How is that possible 😐 I have never seen a generative tool this powerful

You gotta upload broo

I like the physics and how smooth they all move around 😌 smooth animation scratches my brain the right way.

perhaps for the fishes you can incorporate a lore reason like you give them a bubble blessing and they can follow you on land, maybe the blessing wears off if you want to make it a consumable, but i love the idea of fishes swimming in air behind the player

Dude you need to come back and show more about this project? How did you do this

“I also made a in game body edi-“ Me: Woah woah woah what are the properties and how the fuck did you do that. You are able to change the size, Color and smoothness to your monster and I’m here procrastinating how to sinc animations. Great job 😺👍

This is genuinely the most impressive thing I've seen in years regarding to computer graphics.

The Donkey Kong Country music at the end of the dog part hit me right in the nostalgic feels. Thank you.

Are they 3D models rendered in a 2D plane to look like 2D sprites? The animation is so smooth.

Hey man! Just gotta say, I'm really glad the algorithm threw you my way. This whole thing looks rad! And I'm really excited to see where it goes. One thing, though. While I think it's really cool that you have a diversity of invertebrate bugs in mind, I think it might be good early on to include features to turn off at least spiders if the player wants. If not a selective grid of animal types you can remove from the game. As amazing as procedural animation may be, making a game where extremely fluidly animated spiders, insects, and/or snakes can just *exist* at massive size might set off more than a few phobias. And I'd hate to see this game get less play for something like that impeding people's enjoyment. All the best!

How about giving the player weighted boots and a star wars style re breather. Then have an underwater section of the map that is identical to the normal section but underwater and the player walks along the seabed. Also trying to add that way that water surfaces distort light to make a wiggly glowing lines on the bottom would really sell the effect in shallower area (www.georgiaaquarium.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/yellowtail-snapper-2-1440x454.jpg). Also consider making a deeper areas where it is more of an abyssal reef. The cool thing about deepwater reefs is that there is not enough light for zoozantheli to survive so they are almost enturelt sea sponges and anenomes that filter feed the microfauna that flows through the area.

First of all, hooooly shit what an awesome pile of code, kudos to you for programming this. But the one thing that came to mind for me was how much character movement animations add, since most of your creatures keep their movement patterns. Thats why things like monster hunter are so dope IMO, not only do they pump out awesome visual designs, they back all these designs with pinpoint animations

1:15 fish would be cool as critters, neutral and hostile creatures to populate the waters. Could be consumed by predators

To be honest, this game is such a treat, not only because of the mechanics, but the art style, its gorgeous and unique!
