Project Lucid Prototype Discussion
Summary
Gaming Grid announces Project Lucid concept prototype covering design and technical progress. The post outlines a ‘dream like’ level formula, motion matching ambitions and the need for 20-30 animations per action plus motion capture funding. It emphasizes building pipeline confidence, creating proof of concept, and increasing community collaboration to improve the project.
Lets discuss about the project here directly

in game
all of our systems are running at O(1) meaning constant time complexity
our logivs are awesome , our code is clean
but we lack animations
as we dug our own grave going for motion matching for fluidity
now we need atleast 20-30 anims for each action
5
because we follow a concept called "dream like" its a new formula where each level feels like its own genre connected with linear setpiece levels
everything happening is in the mind of our player so we got the freedom to change visuals and go crazy
motion matched anims need lots and lots of funds , we need a full fleged mption capture studio for it
activision khud outsource krta h dusro se for their anims
fir bhi agr hum khud krna chahiye millions fukenge
sab hoga
dw
promotion badme
phele proof of concept
first we need to be spot on 101% confident in our pipeline
3 saal se yeh concept dimag m h but officially diversion history dekhe toh project repo isi saal bana h
maybe 2-3 months
yeah 12th sept se repo suru hua h
3 months jisme 1 mahina exams ki wajah se sab bandh tha
fulll time krte toh 1 mahine m hojata
connections
audience opinion
and moral motivation
i dont like indian game dev ecosystem rn so i usually dont go anywhere
no one talks about collaboration and innovation everyone is busy attending events and boasting their 2d mobile games
wha mai 2023 se hoon
wha se mai opinion lete rheta hoon
but wha connections nhi h
community ke sath jitna engagement hota utna game improve hoga
yes
nhi
indian game dev scene se har man chuka hoon
favouritism peak pe h
collab mindset ek community m spread krnepe ayega
ajh log nhi hai kal ayenge is sv m bhi
suru se hi agr mindset create hogya ek space banjayega age jake'
what do you need now tell us ur requirements
march tak wait kro
Ok
all the screen shpts are from the game levels
currently we're working on that just for the vision
warna art side m abhi focus bhot hi minimal h
i am trying to make mechanics feel rewarding after mastering with cool animations , fluidity and often tricks that can impact gameplay
i think yeh approach lunga rather than yk get skills
exp
coins
nah
no currency is necessary
we've fixed turn in place
now our movement system feels really ood
good
sure
yeah done
just ping me 15 mins before
yes
if youre free now
ook
and these mechanics which are in development is a gem of this community
we can bet more polished parkour than recent assassin's creed games
Haha 🤣
for this project which we are developing specifically here we need atleast 10M USD
It's purely physics based momentum everything
Main thing is this team who is working on this don't have proper environment artist
Ahh don't mix up 😂 he is working on project lucid not bhangarh
Bhangarh forum is different
As I said we are working on different projects at same time
And there is no need of parkour in horror game of Bhangarh
Ohh
Understandable
Btw I appreciate what u said
Thanks for ur kind words
well he promised me to give a playable demo in march
Of his game
Were inspired from the game vector and trying to integrate momentum based mechanics with motion matching
I don't think any game has this level of depth in Parkour in 3D
Though it's not primarily a Parkour game but it's an integral part of traversal
We also have wound grabbing, body fracture system and gore
We are already building a playable demo as we know without that nothing matters
We have an entire version history with version numbers , TD and overall pipeline structure that helped us make the demo
Our own tools and own plugins
GDD we will work on after we get some interest in the project in terms of financials
Many are concerned about GDD first but I think it will be better if our words in the pitch deck concisely matches with the demo in their hands , this will build confidence and will help investors know our capabilities
No
Showcase where?
