Hollow Knight But It's Only The Hitboxes
Ойындар
I saw that a mod was created recently that allows you to play through Hollow Knight without visuals, by only showing the hitboxes and nothing else. I decided it would be a fun challenge, as well as a way to have some fun with chroma keying, enjoy!

This unironically gives me a good idea for a video game. It’s a Metroidvania but the further you go into the game, the worse the graphics get until you’re left with just hit boxes and it’s entirely, so in the end, the more you play the game, the more you have to interpret stuff yourself. Or the opposite of that idea who cares.

“This is just how speedrunners see the game.” > Elder Bug doesn’t even show up I dunno, sounds right to me
Generally speaking, there will be some discrepancy between the size of the hitbox and the size of the sprite, to add a bit of built-in leniency to the game. Notice, for example, how small the player's hitbox is vs. the hurtbox of their attacks. As a side note, it's funny and fitting that the hitboxes of the Radiance's attacks are perfectly modeled, because that means there is absolutely no leniency to her attacks. You might expect it to be a box that's slightly smaller than the size of the spike's sprites, but no, you'll get hurt the moment you touch the exact sprite
THIS IS SO VIEWER FRIENDLY
Okay so the reason why circular hitboxes are a bit rare is due to the fact that it is actually more computationally expensive than boxes (essentially, the more edges an object has, the less optimal it is). Unless an attack demands it (for example, Hornet's string field would feel jank as heck if it was a box), it's better to just use squares or triangles. Edit: I'm super glad I made this comment. The replies have been really informative!

Not necessarily. Collisions with circles can be calculated quite quickly, it is not necessary to use a many-sided polygon. It depends on how the collision calculation is implemented. Normally calculating collisions between 2 circles is the fastest to compute among all pairs of 2D shapes.

I find it interesting how you can clearly see the more complex hitboxes laid directly over the blocky placeholder geometry, which were probably only made after the art assets were finalized. I bet there’s some weird parts where they intersect that are exploitable.

The reason the hit boxes for enemies are all rectangular is so that you can reliably hit them from the same distance. Attacks can be different shapes since the focus is on dodging. And the Hollow Knight extra rectangle is the raised sword.

@@matiasgarciacasas558 So, the way that box colliders work is that they need to compare between multiple different points, seeing if they intercept, as well as the "lines" between the points. I can't really explain it that well in a comment here without it ending up super long, but if you're interested, happycoding has a pretty good explanation on collision detection stuff plus some examples you can see in the browser (it is decently long though) There's also some comparison videos on KZread to see the performance between sphere / box / mesh colliders in Unity (which is the engine Hollow Knight runs on) if you're not as interested in the technical side of things, but at the end of the day, it takes a *lot* to actually make a 2D game struggle performance wise from colliders anyways :P

@@tochka832 good point, you can just and those. But that said, circle-circle collision doesn't need square root either, as you can instead just compare the squared distance with the squared sum of radii.

I assume the reason most colliders are square is for consistency. Imagine trying to consistently bounce on an enemy, but every time they move slightly horizontally it changes the timing of your interactions. It'd turn a fun and simple mechanic into something more complex you have to train on. It's also just easier to make a square hitbox for things.
