Death Animations...

I noticed awhile back they changed death animations from gibs/gore to a smoke cloud. Is this going to be how it is in final, or is this just a placeholder? I really preferred the other method and hope we will be able to toggle the gibs/gore if wanted.

 

This thread has already been done once. Literally, the same post.

The asnwer: probably not

 

Yeah, those clouds are really disappointing

 

Just mod it, guys.

 

I remember seeing it about a month ago, but couldn't find it and I remember it was unanswered.. so just decided to post another. Maybe we'll get an official response.

Also, little confused about your answer:
Is this going to be how it is in final, or is this just a placeholder? "Probably not"

 

duplicated thread has been made almost 3 times...

and repeating for the 1,0000000045678 time, this is an anti-gore option, Tiy stated that hundreds of years ago.... you can turn it off and on at any time.

So a thread like this has been made "almost" 3 times? Which would mean 2..? And yet you've answered it 1,0000000045678 times?

Thanks for the answer but no reason to be so snide about it. Not everyone follows this game every single day.

 

Either give a public source on the forum or don't act as if everybody should be informed and know.

 

i dont mean to be snide and really you take this number serious? ..........

i'm just saying you didnt searched well enough.... but on topic even if it was the default death animation i'm okay with it.

Search button hooray

 

I think Tiy said in his stream last night that gibs would be for PvP or toggleable (I can't remember what he said and what the stream chat said).

 

I didn't take your number serious, just found it a little childish/rude when you could of just linked those threads and gave me an answer instead of making everything sound so sarcastic/snide.

I mean no offense, and I appreciate the answer. So let's just drop this please.

Thanks.

 

Actually, this is what he said:

38:47 here.

 

because i'm childish,sad but true... i dont take this bad, instead let's be friends?

also about topic, i dont know how death animations could be applied for random monsters, but still would be nice to see , but i'm confortable even with the poof animation..

 

Cool, that makes me wonder if we'll just have normal bodies with physics for everything else.. that'd be pretty cool.

 

I'd love to have appropriate deaths depending on weapons types. (And, as with everything, mods would work too)

Energy - disintigrate (vanish from the center outwards)
Fire - Burst into flames, then turn black and crumble into dust.
Explosives - Current is fine
Bullets - ?
Slashing Melee - slide in half?
stabbing/crushing melee - ?

 

Tiy said yesterday during the stream that gibs would be back in for explosions and rocket attacks

 

Not everyone wants to see what you kill explode in a fountain of blood. I certainly don't. I don't kill bunnies in Terraria for that reason ;-;

 

I cannot stand, for the life of me, this "poof" animation. The animation itself is fine and all, but slashing a monster with a sword just to see it vanish in a cloud of smoke ? I highly prefer having exploding monsters. But there is more, the exploding effect itself does not look good at all, the fact that the parts instantly disapear when they touch the ground looks terribly unrealistic. I hate to compare to terraria, but it has a nice feel to it when you kill an enemy.

I'm not necesserly asking for exploding gibs all over the place, just a realistic animation that is well done and has a nice feel and appeal. In my opinion, chucklefish has yet to deliver elements that make the overall combat organic and fun, even if the new effects look nice.

 

Yeah, the smoke animation is a little underwhelming.
