Character DLCs Release | Custom Character Animation Options!

Announcing the release of two character DLCs, as well as Version 1.5.1, which brings an update to the custom character configuration tools that allow tweaking animation behavior!

Characeter DLCs Release

Meet Cobalt and Nikkiwith these two DLCs you can have them guest-star in Pawperty Damage!

These DLCs are collaborations with my two friends, Mannikobunneh and KTqtpi!

New DLC Pose Options

In addition to unlocking one new character, each DLC also unlocks three new options for the pose settings, in Photo Mode.

Those poses/animations can also be used for any of the other characters, in the game, including custom characters (for custom characters your mileage may vary, however, depending on body proportions and such!) Check out the Cobalt and Nikki store pages and trailers, to see these animations in action!

Custom Character Animation Options

[previewyoutube=xAnB_k2nPZs;full][/previewyoutube] (*Note: All characters shown in this video are examples of custom character modelsthey are not available in the game, or the Steam Workshop.) The Custom Character Configurator has been upgraded to version 1.2, an now comes with options that adjust how a custom character will animate:

Peaceful Walk: Adjust the style of the character's walking animation, when 'peaceful'.
Aggressive Posture: Adjust the character's posture, while attacking. Can be set to be identical to the posture when peaceful (i.e. the character won't be hunching over when attacking.)
Aggressive Face: Adjust facial expression to use, while attacking. Change this if you want your character to look happy when smashing, stomping, etc. (requires facial expressions to be set up.)

This feature will come in handy, especially when setting up more human-like or feminine characters, for whom the default animation behavior might look very out-of-place!

Installation

If you already have a Unity project setup with an older version of the Character Configurator, simply re-import the Unity Package from the latest version of the game, overwriting the existing installation of the tool. If the installation was successful, it should say "Version 1.2" in the top right corner of the Configurator window. You find the Unity Package of the tool, in the game's installation directory, at... ...\Pawperty Damage_Data\StreamingAssets\Characters\CharacterConfigurator.unitypackage Don't forget to check the same folder for the PDF guide of how to import custom characters into the game, or check the Steam guide, here.

Happy Holidays!

Version 1.5 | Pose Feature

[previewyoutube=QiOPDRCP7hg;full][/previewyoutube]

Poses

In Photo Mode, there is now a new options menu that gives you control over the character's pose! You can select from four pre-defined poses:

Wave
Peace Sign
Flex
Sit

(To cancel a pose, simply select the same option again, or trigger an attack.)

Happy/Angry Facial Expressions

In the pose options menu, you can also change the facial expression of the character!

Characters will now also change expressions during regular gameplay: Every time they attack, their expression switches to angry. Note: These facial expressions will only work for custom characters that have set up their 'angry' and 'joy' blend shape expressions, during VRM export!

'Customize Pose' Tool

You also have the option to customize a pose, or create an entirely new one: When activating the 'customize pose' tool, the game will display a number of handles that allow individual bones to be rotated or moved. To reposition the camera, simply toggle the HUD (the 'H' key, by default). Note: This tool is only available when using keyboard & mouse, it has no controller support!

Patch Notes

New

Pose options in Photo Mode: Change facial expressions and select one of four different poses
High Score menu now has an option to show the leader board for Atro City
When using keyboard & mouse, you can set an exact value for player/starting size

Changes

Button to select next/previous character skin now doubles as input to switch tabs (i.e. in the Photo Mode options), RB/LB by default
Game options such as starting size and level atmosphere are saved between sessions
Characters will change their facial expression, when attacking
Slow-motion range increased to a max speed of 50%, instead of 25%
VRM import: Bones in SpringBone chains with the suffix "_IGNORE" will be excluded from in-game BoingBone chains (useful to fix issue with branching bone chains)

Fixes

Several small fixes

Known Issues

Linux/SteamOS: The main menu's background video is broken on Linux versions of the game, as workaround you can try to force running the Windows version, using Proton

[ 2024-11-28 19:58:06 CET ] [ Original post ]

Version 1.4.1

Patch Notes

Changes

Damage Scale game option can now be set to less than 100%
Added option to the Character Configurator, which allows you to increase a character's "reach radius", in case they have a hard time picking up vehicles (i.e. because their arms are too short.)

Fixes

Growth Rate setting no longer changes unintentionally, when opening the options menu
Game will now load/display all subscribed Workshop items (used to be limited to 50)

Broken Support for Windows 7

Since version 1.4 the game has been updated to use a newer version of the Unity game engine, which unfortunately no longer supports Windows 7. If you are running Windows 7... [olist]

In Steam, go to the game's Properties...

Select the Betas tab

Under Beta Participation, switch to branch version-1.3 [/olist] This will allow you to play the older version of the game (1.3.2) which was still compatible with Windows 7. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Version 1.4 | 1 Year Anniversary | New City, Atmosphere Options, ...

[previewyoutube=GtxtPkz-oG8;full][/previewyoutube]

New Level: Atro City

The game now features a new, bigger city level! Unlock Atro City by causing $350,000,000 damage, in the original city (now called Down Town) while playing Crush Hour mode.

Note: There are a few things that are still work-in-progress, for the new city: So for now, please keep in mind that...

Some of the game's balancing still needs to be adjusted to work with this much bigger map: At the moment, many VIP Targets will spawn far outside of the players reach, for instance
While player high scores will already be recorded for the new city, the in-game leader board does not yet feature an option to display scores for Atro City

Hope to take care of these issues, in the near future; until then I think these are good compromises to have the new city available, a little early! As for size, Atro City is almost 3 times bigger than the old city: 468 buildings waiting to be destroyed!

Level Atmosphere Options

When selecting a level, you can now also change its atmosphere: Play during bright sunshine, a moody dawn, thick fog, or the moonlit night!

Various Little Things

Blinking Animations

Characters now have blinking animations! This makes the character look more alivea low-priority feature I've been meaning to add, ever since the game's release last year... But it was only now that I've finally gotten around to it. Yippie! (Blinking animations are also available for custom characters: Simply set up the "Blink" blend shape clip for your VRM, prior to export.)

Random Spawnpoints

In the level settings, you now can also chose to have the player(s) spawn in random locations: This is a great way to keep things 'fresh', especially in combination with the atmosphere options. This option is also great in split-screen multiplayer, to spread players out a little. (Note: This option is only available in Custom, Sandbox, and Photo mode.)

Freeze Time!

Activating slow motion and freezing time, in Photo mode, are now two separate actions: This gives you a lot more control to stop the game in just the right moment and take your screenshot!

1 Year Anniversary

Pawperty Damage was released today, exactly one year ago! Since then it has grown quite a bitmost notably with the addition of Steam Workshop support and the custom character feature, late last year. Now, with the new city level and atmosphere options, I felt it was appropriate to increase the game's price point to reflect all of the additions since the game's original release. That also means this content update is free of charge for anyone who has already bought the game at its old pricean early-adopter discount, of sorts, haha! I hope you continue to enjoy the game, and thank you so much for this year! [hr][/hr]

Patch Notes

New

Unlockable level: Atro City
Level atmosphere options: Sunshine, Dawn, Foggy, Midnight
Option to spawn at a random location (available in Custom, Sandbox, and Photo mode)
Blinking animations for characters (also available for custom characters)
Dedicated key/button to take screenshot in Photo mode (will automatically hide HUD)
Added Spanish translation

Changes

Overall performance improvements
Separated actions to activate slow motion and freeze time, in Photo mode

Fixes

Various small bug fixes

Known Issues

When changing level atmosphere, reflections are sometimes not updated correctly (resulting in wrong lighting and reflections, i.e. in building windows.)
Because of a critical rendering engine bug, the 'SSAO' option is now permanently enabled, in the graphics settings: Turning it off caused violent flickering graphic glitches. I hope this workaround resolves the issue, for now, but please take care if you are suffering from photosensitive epilepsy

[ 2024-05-23 16:20:42 CET ] [ Original post ]

Version 1.3.2

Patch Notes

Changes

Adjusted hand positioning for custom characters during bite animation
Spring/Boing bones now support the 'collision radius' setting
When importing a VRM with default configuration, no pronouns will be shown

Fixes

Mods menu did not update properly, when downloading new mods from the workshop
Fixed default characters' collision radius (it was 20% too big)
Spring/Boing bone collision is now also enabled for chains that do not use gravity
'Kaiju 101' and 'Crushing It!' achievements could be unlocked even after the timer has run out
Result screen showed placeholder '100 ft' for all high scores, when no previous score existed and a custom character was in use

Version 1.3 | Custom Character Support

[previewyoutube=CbzV0kfTrWo;full][/previewyoutube]

Custom Characters

Ever since development began, people have been asking about importing their own characters into the game: I'm happy to finally announce that this feature has become a reality!

(Examples: KTqtpi's and Galileo's characters... and also the TF2 scout.) To import a character into the game, you need to export the model to a VRM file; this requires an installation of the Unity editor, as well as some Unity knowledge. I have written a detailed Custom Character Guide which will walk you through all the necessary steps to export/import your own character models: You can read the Steam Guide or find a PDF file, at the following path in the game's installation directory: [Installation Directory]\Pawperty Damage_Data\StreamingAssets\Characters\Custom Character Guide.pdf

Character Configurator

To help with the character configuration process, the game comes with a custom Unity tool: It allows you to tweak hit boxes, set character details, etc.

Steam Workshop

You can create mods containing custom character models and upload them to the Workhop: Before you do, please make sure you have the rights/permission to share the files. Also, do not upload any content that violates the Steam Online Conduct! If you run into problems or have any questions, feel free to post in the Steam Discussions or WorkshopI hope I can answer as many questions as possible! [hr][/hr]

Patch Notes

New

Custom character model support and tools

Changes

Improved mod upload dialogue
Improved character skin selection UI/UX

Fixes

Various small fixes

[ 2023-11-25 23:03:50 CET ] [ Original post ]

Version 1.2 | Mods, Steam Workshop integration

Mod Support

Starting with this update, the game will be able to load "mods" which make sharing custom content a lot more convenient! The game still only supports custom billboard and character textures, I'm afraid, but these can now be bundled into mods and then uploaded to the Steam Workshop. In the future, more options for customizations (i.e. custom character models) will be added. I have created a Steam Guide to run you through the process of creating and uploading mods: Check it out, here: Mod Creation Guide

Steam Workshop

As mentioned above, the game now features basic Steam Workshop integration! You can browse the Workshop and subscribe to other users' mods, to import them into your game. Also, I have taken the liberty of preparing a few mods which you can subscribe to and import, right now: Simply check out the game's Workshop page.

[hr][/hr]

Patch Notes

New

"Mods" menu
Steam Workshop integration
Example mods
Italian translation
Custom character skin definition can adjust tail/ear size

Changes

Improved precision for crushing cars when walking over them

Fixes

High score behavior for local scores, in Custom mode
Steam friend avatars in the leader boards were mirrored
Internal error causing unexpected behavior (i.e. making buildings indestructible)

[ 2023-08-29 14:43:36 CET ] [ Original post ]

Version 1.1 | High Scores, Steam Leader Boards, Character Skins

What's new in Version 1.1?

High Scores and Steam Leader Boards

The game will now keep track of your high scores, both locally and via Steam's leader boards feature: At the end of each game, the results screen will display your personal best, as well as a leader board including your Steam friends' high scores. From the button in the bottom right of the main menu you can also access a more detailed overview of your and your friends' high scores. Note: To make scores consistent and comparable, the default settings for Crush Hour and Time Attack modes can no longer be adjusted: For a customized experience, use the Custom game mode, instead.

Custom Character Skins

The game now allows you to import custom textures to change the look of the default cast! You can find a detailed guide as well as example and template files, at the following path, in the game files: [Installation Directory]\Pawperty Damage_Data\StreamingAssets\Skins Currently, this feature only supports material adjustments for the existing characters (i.e. switching textures): Changes to the models are not possible, yet. In the future, an option to import custom character models will hopefully be available! Similarly, sharing custom skins via the Steam workshop is not supported yet, either.

Dynamic Shadow Distance

As a graphical improvement, the rendering distance for shadows is now adjusted on the fly, to get the best result at any given scale.

Free Character Skin Pack

Additionally, I've released a skin pack which adds 6 new looks to the game's cast of charactersit's available as a free DLC! [hr][/hr]

Patch Notes

New

High scores and Steam leader boards
Custom character skin support

Changes

Improved shadow rendering
Camera is less likely to clip into the player model, at very large scales
Target level of destruction in Time Attack mode is now 100%
Collision behavior of collapsing buildings has been adjusted to be less obstructive to the player
Wind turbines and farms are now destructible (but will give no points)

Fixes

UI scaling for ultra-wide screens
Display names for Chinese language options
Level of destruction of 100% will only be displayed if all buildings are actually destroyed
Various minor bugs
