Networking is now nice and smooth on a simulated 200 kb/s connection.   The real test will be when I start injecting some latency / packet loss. And then the REEEAAAL test will be running it on actual network connections

Hey you! Check out High Hat's first devlog here: https://youtu.be/FxW4PcX0fa8

I think the letter pop in this version helps bring focus back to the title. I'll probably run with it

This week I spent some time on an animated High Hat logo

The High Hat pregame screen now has democratic game mode / character select.  It still needs some polish, but I'm really liking the direction this is going in.

Heres some more silly archery ... this time from the default t-pose.  I should probably wrap up the aim animation so the game is playable again :)

My new rig doesn't play well with the old aim and shoot animations. Or maybe it plays too well?

Today the science community was baffled by the discovery of the elusive "tummy bone"

I threw together a new character rig.  Its much more flexible than the old one.

The High Hat pregame screen lets you customize your character's face,  hat, and color / team.

This week I added some initial online multiplayer to High Hat

If you think about it, High Hat is really just the plot of the movie "Gravity" but with hats instead of space junk

In High Hat the game isn't always over when you get ringed out, but sometimes it feels like it (you now lose hats when you are ringed out)

Here is a quick snapshot of some early High Hat gameplay with dumb AIs. I'm sure a lot of this will change but its fun to see everything coming together 

[c-art]

I made some cool player portraits to show how many hats a player has / other statuses. Fun fact: the portraits are actually dynamic renders of a clone of the player. You can rest easy ... the clones cannot escape their prison

I gave the High Hat critters the ability to look at anything ... but I can’t get them to stop looking at hats!
