BioForge turns 31 today. I've been heads-down on OpenBioForge — here's an uncut playthrough showing where things are at. Early combat, hit detection, dynamic effects, and more.

Had some fun with AI to visualize what a #BioForge Unit AP-127 figurine might look like! Could be a cool #3DPrinting project once #OpenBioForge is complete.
Experimenting with native analog gamepad support in #OpenBioForge! 🎮 Let me know your button layout ideas in the comments (keep in mind fixed cameras, and over a dozen attack types).
Excuse the amateur phone recording 😅
Been heads-down coding #OpenBioForge for months and forgot to post updates!
Latest: Quake-style console, motion-linked sfx and events, 168/188 script interfaces complete, Linux compatibility, and heaps more.
Today marks 30 years since BioForge's release!
From playing it in '95, reverse engineering in the 2000's, to recreating its engine - check out this anniversary showcase of OpenBioForge, bringing this DOS classic into the modern era. #BioForge #GamePreservation #GameDev #RetroGames #RetroGaming

6/6 After many iterations, it's working great! There are areas that rely on the root motion implicitly that can't be avoided, but the hybrid system is as generic/elegant as I hoped. What other BioForge aspects should I consider improving? Let me know!
5/6 Pros: Better responsiveness, consistent speed, acceleration support, simpler collisions, future analog control. Con: Potential foot slippage, which I'm minimizing with careful tuning and blending.
4/6 Solution? A smart hybrid movement/animation system. Player-controlled movements now use the physics system, not animation root motion.
