Edge of Sanity - Nov/Dez 2018

Edge of Sanity was the developed over 6 weeks which included everything from concept to final presentation by a team of 16 people who had never worked together before as part of the DADIU 2018 program.

In Edge of Sanity you are tasked with feeding the Old Gods with souls. Invade the homes of your unsuspecting victims, but be careful, their feeble minds will be blown by the mere sight of you, and your masters don’t like wasted blood - they always hunger.

My role was Direction.

The game is available on Android via the Google PlayStore and iOS via the AppStore and was nominated for the 15th International Mobile Gaming Awards.

The game features a Motion Matching animation system. Motion Matching is an advanced machine learning driven replacement for traditional state machines, which, rather than for example playing a looped 'run' animation, is fed a large amount of uninterrupted motion capture data from which it then picks the frame(s) that best match the movement that the character should achieve based on various inputs such as velocity, direction and angle of movement. Basically it looks through a huge data set of animation to figure out which frames to play at any given time.
