I recommend you watch it with the Annotations turned on.
It looks like I'm gonna have to slow down the back and side animations and I should neutralize the arm movements on the back one. They look really jerky to me right now.
Also, IMO I don't think forward momentum should trigger the skydiving animation(or it'll trigger with every running jump) but rather it should trigger when terminal velocity is reached.

I don't know if neutralizing them altogether is the right approach, but I agree about the jerkiness.

hah, yeah, I actually realized this the first time I did a running jump and face-planted. Or maybe if the crouch-trigger is set while falling? That way it is a deliberate choice rather than automatic?

I like this idea. Any chance I could get svn access or a build of the game that I can use to quickly test animations? Sending them to you, then waiting to see them used in a video before knowing how they look in-game is rather inefficient.

I definitely could add you to the svn, particularly if you'll be making frequent use of it (it costs me about $3.50/month/user). I just sent you an invite to the appropriate Assembla workspace. Do you have Visual Studio set up on your computer? I can walk you through the compilation + check-out process, or I can send you a binary, but if I do the latter, you may want to wait a couple days while I work out stuff with the texturing code.
Hey, speaking of player animations... will we ever consider making speical animations to just use in-game? (Like the orc using the wave or salute in-game)

You mean like emotes? That largely depends on what (if any) limits there are to the number of animations a player datablock can support. Things like running, looking, crouching, jumping, etc. take priority, but I'd certainly like to have a bunch of extra animations and a way for players to play them if there's room.
@Elfprince: I just got the email, sweet! I set up my account and I do have visual studio 2010(though not visual C++, but I know where to get it). I have some schoolwork to finish up now, but when I'm free later this afternoon you can walk through compiling this. My computer sucks, but it should be able to handle the construct map, which is all I'd need for animation tests.

alright.... thats good news to me... Now I have to get my own work done

Hey everyone. I don't know if you've watched this yet, but we're in striking distance of first place. If you haven't watch it yet, please do, and if you're at school, maybe get a friend or two to pull it up on their screens as well.

Aww, sorry to hear it. Well, let's see if we can't get a better showing for the next contest, and either way it's nice to get Freebuild additional exposure.
