The Superku character from 2006 was even a popstar. Can't express how glad I am you abandoned that approach...
Always learn from history, to be sure you make the same mistakes again...

The Superku character from 2006 was even a popstar. Haha I had already forgotten about this clip, thanks.  Update: I've written a basic simulation for cape physics, almost everything is calculated inside the vertex shader (2.0). I only use ent_animate to bring the cape into a basic starting situation, pan-rotations of the player/ Superku are taken into account (compare second screenshot).   The most difficult part was to implement a smooth transition between a cape that simply hangs down, e.g. when Superku holds on to a ledge, and a cape that touches the ground (see the end of the video).

@Superku : You are becoming some top one indie developper ! Amazing, this cape will bring on lot of pleasure to the eye of the player  That's little details like that, that brings a lot to games ! (Metroid 1 on gamecube with little touches on the visor helmet of the player and all other stuff) How many levels do you plan ? do you have planned diversified ones ? If you need some fast ideas, i can give some to you like for example : Desert with some gameplay mechanism using the sand for physic or simple puzzle like filling something with sand to make the weight trigger some mechanism. Or some levels requiring water endurance life bar, where you should replainish some bottle to survive. Or why not some level using, Bring it on to Steam , and i'll have no choice than buy it !

Thanks! There are 50 levels (of course not yet done, but planned) and after the first 5 levels I try to give almost every level a different (gameplay) element or different focus so it won't get boring too soon. This is just a minor update to tell that the development is still going on. I've mostly worked on the code and finally fixed 3 old very annoying movement bugs. I've had a lot of trouble with the implementation of the cape physics (and the new player model) into the game but it works now pretty good. I've rewritten the animation system that now automatically detects the movement state and blends between the most important states - previously, as the movement code mostly is a state machine, animation was a little difficult to handle and esp. to blend. At first I've tried to use ent_blend(frame) but I had to notice that vertex blending obviously only works with integer frame numbers, so it wasn't smooth at all. (That's why I had to animate the transitions manually.) I've always wondered how I could make a crouch animation because Superku's body/ design is so inflexible, and I finally had the idea to let Superku slide on his side instead when you press crouch, that works quite nicely. exile is doing a great work with the composition of the score, he listens nicely to critique and I can only recommend his work!  (not much new here, except for the new model in action) Btw., just for fun, the statistics of my playtesting (accumulated since my last reset): time on ground: 32524.9s
time in air: 12494.5s

Perhaps you'll make some start rating system (gold, silver, bronze) depending on how many time the player put to finish the game ? Yes, that is already implemented, but thanks for the suggestion. There will be a new video when I've completed a few more levels, probably at the end of this month.

10 years I know it's not the time to make the game Superku, but you could use it as an advice for programmers ! Take your time , don't rush, don't dream too much to finish in two months your game
