Hey guys - I know the community's fairly small while in early access, but I also know there's at least a few other people streaming and making videos already besides me. Since there's not an official Discord, would having a dedicated thread for videos & stream announcements function well in the forum? Or would the thread's presence clutter it if people were using it a lot? Please feel free to suggest alternatives! *(Disclaimer: I wanted to set something up that works well for everyone......but I fully realize that I'm one of the most feral members of the community and I do not want to spam the thread single-handedly just because I post so frequently LMAO - so seriously, let me know if you would make use of the thread too!)

Despite my apprehension to become a Griftlands bandit... the 5 Star Ranked Challenge temptation lead me onto a path of lawlessness. I hope you enjoy this Let's Roguelike Out Series Entry. Here is my latest attempt with Sal over 4 episodes: Run 3 Ep 1 Run 3 Ep 2 Run 3 Ep 3 Run 3 Ep 4

Absolutely no one asked for this but I've remade Rook's mischievous face. Except transparent. And in three different sizes. You know what to do.

Since there's already a Communal Fanart thread, I will take upon myself the sacred duty of starting a thread for all the sh*tposts Griftposts™ so feel free to share your griftposts/memes/edits! and try to out post me, I'll be in here too much lmao (Let's just try to keep it SFW / follow Klei's community guidelines of course lol there's some wee ones in the forums) Let's start with a classic:

Hey Klei Devs! So I'm really interested in how exactly the character animations work for Griftlands, would any of you guys be down to answer a few questions about it? (I realize getting really technical questions probably isn't the norm - but I'm a game design student and ever since I picked up Griftlands last year, I've been fascinated because the animations are so smooth and well done?? And having done a tiny bit of 2D puppet animation before, seeing how well the animation states transition together and how clean the pieces look rigged together is just...obscene...god they look so good wtf). I fully understand some stuff is top secret™ or just very specific/proprietary within the studio - but if you have time to indulge a wee baby game dev I would just love to understand more about how you guys approach character rigs/animations! I'm trying to learn more because I haven't really touched the more technical side of that yet...also I may or may not be trying to practice ahead of time to mod the sh** out of the game lmao. Do you guys use a specific game engine for Griftlands or is this like all proprietary lol? Do you guys use any particular software for the animation/rigging? Or is it all done in-engine with like plug-ins or something? If the answers to the above were "haha it's proprietary and held together by duct tape don't look too close," then do you have any recommendations for what a baby dev should learn/practice on instead? (I know about After Effects, Spine, and that there's Unity/Unreal plug-ins for 2D rig stuff, but idk if there's some industry standard for this lmao) Transitions look like spooky magic is that like a state machine thing or what How?? Does everything hook together so cleanly?? Oof okay that's a lot of questions sorry - if you guys do miraculously get the time to read this let alone answer any of it I will be forever grateful lmao and it is completely okay if you can't! You guys are doing such incredible work and it really is inspiring, you're pushing me to broaden my skills and explore stuff I haven't dived into before! <3 Thanks so much!
