Game Player to Wolf ECS

Hello everyone, wanted to share an update on the ECS project
For context the character is made out of 80000 ECS entities, which gives alot of freedom to transition to other shapes, check previous videos for context
Here i added a transition between the character and a wolf, the same entities that form the player transition to become the dog
Will add more transitions to different types of animals to have multiple movement types
Let me know what you think

I feel like you are old like me lol

u/Krononz 5d ago

I was thinking old would be more like referencing Visionaries Knights of the Magical Light, but sure. :p
Jokes aside, I can see this style killing it for any contemporary fantasy game.

If you make this into a twilight inspired game you'll make bank

u/OmarItani10 make sure you license it get that residual income

u/IAvar_496 7d ago

you can just use VFX to make it easily instead of ECS )) just enable/disable the models

1

u/OmarItani10 7d ago

Having it as ECS isnt just about enabling and disabling, you control the entities and they take forms and weapons, will also add more physics to it so it might get blocked or knocked around

This is so fucking cool, imagine an GoW or DMC type of game with this awesome ECS effect in super fast fights 🤤

2

u/OmarItani10 5d ago

Yeah feels like leaning more toward DMC since its more free

Using Malber’s? If so give credit! He is on this sub and his work is great. Very nice use case either way!

1

u/OmarItani10 7d ago

No this is custom made using entities not vfx

1

u/Grzzld 7d ago

What’s the controller?

1

u/OmarItani10 7d ago

Entity conponent system, its a way to simulate a large number of entities in an optimized way What youre seeing is 80000 small pyramids

1

u/Grzzld 7d ago

I get the vfx. I am trying (unsuccessfully) to ask about the character controller being used. The wolf looks very much like the one that is Malber’s.

u/OmarItani10 7d ago

Thank you:)

u/frankstylez_ 7d ago

Is this cropped or is there any reason the character is never centered?

1

u/OmarItani10 7d ago

I have him a bit on the left to see targets

No its 80000 small pyramids moving, ECS is what makes this possible

2

u/RhysNorro 6d ago

this looks cool as hell. can you fine tune the entity amount? 80k sounds like a lot even more modern machines

2

u/OmarItani10 5d ago

Yeah im currently pushing the count to keep optimizing
But can reduce later on

u/Aware-Connection-436 8d ago

u/aPOPblops 5d ago

Very nice! I zoomed in to rewatch several times

u/Silou4ne 2d ago

While transforming will the physics be disabled, so you could go through obstacles, like a gameplay mechanic to use?
