Stick To It

This week has been rather slow. I’ve been quite sick this week. In fact it has been one of the worse illnesses I’ve had in quite a while. As a result, it drastically effected my work hours for this week.  was planning to finish the openable object for the game this week, which is a large thick branch.

The spider will be located mostly in spider webs they’ve weaved and different around such as branches. However, to make this all possible, I’ve been working on a walking animation cycle.
This was a difficult task. I had no idea how a spider walked, not to mention […]
