🎮Remaking a game in 3D presents challenges in translating the original design into a new dimension.
🌟Creating 3D models required balancing between the original geometric sprites and the desired smoother 3D look.
🔥Animations were implemented using bone rigs and stretch constraints in the Godot game engine.
🌿The game's visuals were enhanced with the use of shaders, multi-mesh instancing, and procedural materials.
🎧Audio effects were sourced and added to enhance the gameplay experience.
What inspired the decision to remake Giraffe Run in 3D?
—The original Giraffe Run game made six years ago on Scratch inspired the decision to remake it in 3D, giving it a visual overhaul and improving the gameplay.
How were the original geometric sprites translated into 3D models?
—The translation process involved finding the right balance between retaining the essence of the original sprites and achieving a smoother 3D look for the models.
What methods were used to implement animations in the game?
—Animations were implemented using bone rigs, stretch constraints, and blend shapes within the Godot game engine.
What visual enhancements were made to the game?
