GEE, I SURE DO LIKE FROZEN BANANAS.

We Be Monsters:

An Update

Existing Puppetry at The Children's Museum

  • Uses joysticks and a 40" TV
  • Is hideous
  • Is some weird and creepy 3D animation
  • Movement is choppy and extraordinarily limited
  • Music is brutally annoying
  • Just in general does not make a lot of sense, causing most children to just stand there and slam the joysticks back and forth violently

So we're in this weird area where we've been working on this for a long time and you all know exactly what we're talking about, so in order not to be repetitive we'll just spit out random ideas that we have for additions to this project.

Obviously this needs to be updated.

You're well informed as to the rainbow stars.

Other plans for particle effects for the Behemoth include:

  • Add collision detection to the puppet
  • Add lifespan to stars, explode upon death

Other plans for particle effects for other puppets include:

  • Fireballs for potential dragon puppet

Shit that just kind of has to get done:

  • understanding and implementing rotational springs (ie bobblehead effect, springy spines)

  • putting together 'fake kinect' data' - and figuring out WHY THE HOLY HELL Caitlin's computer doesn't like OSCeleton

  • getting two more puppets up and running- 3 person (dragon!) and 4 person (leviathan!) and squishing them all into a working/aesthetically pleasing interface

tl;dr:

it just has to get more professional looking.

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU:

(in chronological order)

  • If you know processing well: please help us clean our code!
  • Tutorials on springs for general tightening of puppet movements
  • Tutorials on UIs for when we eventually make this thing kid-able

more updates soon.
