Gamedev hacks: Rope animation in Thirsty Suitors that wraps around characters is sleight of hand.
Each loop is just a single joint scaling and moving a donut-shaped object. Real rope takes a ton of joints or rope simulations I can’t do.

Shirt ripping in Thirsty Suitors battles is inspired by the Yakuza (Like a Dragon)series.
I’ve been ripping shirts(& pants)for no reason since playing Yakuza4 in 2012, my first introduction to the series. Played all other Yakuza games since.

Thirsty Suitors is set in 199X. I don’t have a Walkman for this animation recreation so I grabbed the next oldest electronic thing I’ve got, an Xbox360 controller 🎮

Are folks familiar with stove lighter guns? Watched some players being confused about guns in Jala’s kitchen.
THIRSTY SUITORS is set in the 90s when they were common. Exists in the game just so that an attack can be named BURNKATA 😄

Recipes in Thirsty Suitors are authentic 🥥However, cooking actions are very over the top and silly, just like the cooking tips I used to post on tiktok and insta 🍳🥞

540kick is a basic martial arts tricking move but looks very dynamic. Variations of flashkicks, aerials, 540s, btwist and corks are my go-to basics for combat animations in most games I’ve made

One of the earliest animations I did on ThirstySuitors. Needed easy mode IRL; 7ft hoop, smaller ball, hand switch before jumping. Past self had such high expectations that current self can’t quite meet. That bird fly-by timing tho🦅

This trick took me 3 separate 2hr sessions. And it’s not even that close to what my bird animation was doing. I think I put a trick that I haven’t learned in my game to force myelf to try to learn it 😆. This is the closest I can get for now.

Meet Arvind, Jala’s dad, a retired pharmacist. He spends his days birding 🕊️
Animation re-enactments for Arvind’s moves are the most chill of all characters in Thirsty Suitors.

This animationIRL also turned out differently than how I animated. Jacket doesn’t come off smoothly as expected if I don’t put my arms down straight. So I just ended up doing a cartwheel and then a no-handed one separately

Cooking is a big part of Thirsty Suitors gameplay. As with everything else in the game, the actions are very exaggerated and fantastical. This frying pan action is one of the more ‘normal’ ones 🍳🔥

Some players of Thirsty Suitors seem to think tiger head looks oddly detached. It’s not a bug, it’s doing the head locked cat wiggle thing. The animation looked more obvious in Falcon Age (Robot on the right) from 2019

was The Matrix Path Of Neo. Really fun to recreate some of the iconic moves from the movies and also add some of my own stuff. I’m not sure why Neo was fighting giant ants tho.
Earlier this year, we showed a gif of Jala’s jacket hanging on wall as a fully rigged twisted skin mesh. Now it’s less freaky but still a skinned mesh. Here’s one of the reasons why

Most nights, Jala falls asleep on the couch and her dad carries her to bed. This animation recreation turned out easier than expected. Should’ve made dad take 2 steps at a time.

With the right perspective on life, anything you can pick up can be used as a boomerang🔨. Falcon Age got another update earlier this week that includes this hammer toy, and fixes some other issues.

Another toy from the latest Falcon Age update is a yoyo. You can pet the dog before,but now your dog can also ‘walk the dog’. And with the older bird,it can (outer)loop the loop. Puns definitely intended with the yoyo trick names😆

Throwback video from the year 1999-2000. My first 3Danimation project from highschool. Self-taught 3Dsmax2 from a book. And I remember trying to get this video to vhs before jan1,2000 in case Y2kbug kills my computer.

Did some re-rigging and my jump-into-pants technique now support longer pants. It has only been shorts but an added jump off height allows me to jump full through long track pants(instead of needing a small second hop)
Didn’t expect that shoot-from-the-hip trick re-enactment to work but it did. I’m using chopsticks 🥢on styrofoam🎯, not real darts tho.

This animation recreation turns out to be very hard. I can’t even throw it a meter. Thirsty Suitors coming out in about 3 weeks (Nov 2nd)

Still not quite living up to Auntie Chandra’s expectations. My actual PR for this unassisted(no feet hook) sit up is only 55lbs with a normal barbell
#thirstysuitors

This is the most straightforward attack in Thirsty Suitors. All attacks have no physical contact, only thrown objects. So this one gets hologram fists and feet

I can’t moonwalk on my hands but the other part is doable. Thirsty Suitors coming out in about 4 weeks (November 2nd)

Training montage from Mulan2.The song is called ‘Lesson number one’.
Way harder than Li Shang’s training from the first one. That end combo with jump front kick, staff toss frontflip, in one jump. I can barely do that in 2 separate jumps and it doesn’t even look that good😝
Finally did it! My goal was to lift 4 loaded bars while standing on kettlebells and look as ridiculous as possible. I wasn’t targeting any particular weight but I’m glad to keep it above 200 lbs, 1.5x bodyweight. This lift is definitely going into my reel.
I didn’t know about walljump feature in JustCause 3 til after I 100% the game and all DLCs on PS4. There’s a bunch of stunts off walls. Waiting to play JC4 cos there’s no walljump yet.
Maybe
@justcause
can add walljumps in a JC4 DLC,pls?

Skate challenges in Thirsty Suitors are mostly optional. But many players are trying to 100% the game. So I made a little guide. Here’s the link for all of it. Examples in the thread (1/6)

@JenMillsArt
Thank you 😊 This rope trick is one of the easier safer things to try irl. The bright blue ribbon and the wide arcs do most of the work to create the dynamic motion. I’m mostly just standing there 😄
@AdamStrover
Thank you, that's me doing flips and stuff from Thirsty Suitors. I've been in game dev for almost 20yrs. You might have played other games I worked on; Matrix Path of Neo, Monday Night Combat Series, Space Siege to name a few
Stayed off social media for the last year cos I was afraid to film tricks outside and don’t have much to post. I did spend time in nature and trails in the PacificNorthwest, taking photos occasionally. As of this weekend, I’m fully vaccinated.Time to check for new super powers
@Tastypeeper1
Thank you. There’s so much going on in Thirsty Suitors but the core gameplay is turn based battle with active input like paper mario. Traverseal is freeform arcadey skating like Jet Set radio. There’s extremely hard optional gameplay in skating.
@Tokyo2Slim
Yakuza series is soo good. I’m glad they’re gaining popularity in the western market in the recent years. Thirsty Suitors aspire to be a baby version Yakuza 7 gameplay wise
