i really wanted to make something cute for yuri jam, but i couldn't think of any story to write, so i thought I'd just put a couple of my characters in a paper doll style sorta character posing toy. i hope it's the slightest bit cathartic

20kdc helped severely with wrangling godot. godot recently overhauled skeletons and IK multiple times so it's impossible to find tutorials that correspond to factual information. also i procrastinated for nearly 3 months oops

i will update soon with modding support, i actually set up this cute system where you just feed it your image parts with colored dots and a txt file with some data and it just works

this is so cuteee but how did you make it? i wanna make something similar but idk how to make something like this 

In what sense, like, kind of the general process?

The first thing i did after designing the concept was figuring out what key elements i would need to make it work, in this case: mouse/touch handling (to drag stuff around), 2d skeletons and inverse kinematics (to drag whole limbs in a sensemaking fashion), and text and image loading/processing (to make the dolls easier to edit rather than hardcoding everything about how they connect together).

then uh, i needed a lot of help (from tutorials and people) to figure out how to make each of those things work in Godot, largely one thing at a time. past that though, it's just fitting code together like a big puzzle and working out the bugs; i suggest trying to keep distinct systems organized separately as much as possible to avoid getting lost (but also not having so many that it's cumbersome to switch between them)

thankkk youuuuuu :DDDD

They are cuddling <3

You know that post that's like 'tumblr users love to play with jpegs like dolls'? That's what this reminded me of, and I really do love it. Very cute idea! I'd love to see this turned into a full game.

Planning to! Just taking a short break to avoid dev feeling like a chore.

And thank you, I really do appreciate it <3
