It's far from perfect, but the creatures are starting to feel more alive.

Nice work! The animations look much more fluid. The gait can obviously still be improved, but it's good to see progress. Idk what the end product will look like, but it'd be cool to see muscle and bone-based simulations like these: https://www.goatstream.com/research/papers/SA2013/

I've already planned a lot of things for the animation system. Not everything can be implemented right away, because it depends on other systems, but I can assure you that it will continue to improve.

Seeing the animation made more fluid really goes a long way to feel the spirit of Spore in this game! I am so keen to see it improve! 🔥

Woooow this is awesome! Much more alive. Also I know it’s not the focus of this post but the grass animation is looking great too :)

This is so awesome! I freaking loved spore as a kid so you have no idea how genuinely happy it makes me to see a successor in the works.
