You could just toggle visibility on duplicate meshes, each with a different mouth shape. It's kinda like blendshapes but without the blend.

That's what we did on Röki and Mythwrecked (although our mouth shapes were modelled in, rather than textured).

Hello!

I haven't. That looks neat, thanks for the tip 🙌🏻

...Not surprising that narrative is a common quality, although perhaps skewed towards visual storytelling.

Also depends on whether it's first or third person. Weirdly, I've always called this the Tony Hawk effect. I noticed when playing the original games that a bench was actually the same size as the character when you stood them next to it, yet when moving and playing, it seemed correct

HEY 👇

so secretly we've been working with a cabal of indie devs making the type of strange & distinctive games that we love to play on noclip_2.

tomorrow we're announcing a SHOWCASE on noclip_2 as part of an upcoming Steam Festival about these games.

it's gonna be fun.
we hope you tune in.

...I blame the character artist* for the wide shoulder proportions.

Getting the right dimensions for a simple doorway when making video games is tough!

Real world proportions often feel too tight and snaggy.

Push it too far and your characters start to look like children.

You aren’t supposed to beat these games without help though, you were supposed to drag a kitchen chair into your dads office so you can play together
