- Part 1 of an ongoing devlog series!
Incidentally, would you be interested in a new indie Shadow of the Colossus type game? Let me know in the comments :)
If you're wondering what's left to do on this controller, I can tell you a bit of my plans:
Sliding along edges
Intuitive movement
Standing/running on the collosus'
Jumping on and off the mesh
Ledge grabbing and climbing
Better camera movement
Assigning climbable areas
Transferring between meshes
Hand placements
Character Design and animation
Procedural animation/ragdolls - เกม
So glad to have you back dude. You're still the gold standard of devlogs on TH-cam and my personal biggest inspiration for everything I put out. I must have rewatched all of your stuff a dozen times by now, and I couldn't be happier there's more coming. Nice work!
Jaythedevguy!? On a Robert Thomson video!? Things just got crazy! I love your videos, man

So glad to have you back, man. I missed your drawings. I think I speak for many of us when I say we would be 100% interested in a new indie Shadow of the Colossus type game.
hes literally me fr fr
Oh hey! That's me with the Prey for the Gods team. Loved all the great insight they gave and LOVE this video you made 🎉
Amazing!! I loved that whole interview and it was actually really useful to get ideas of how to attack this problem :) great interview, thank you!
it's honestly easy to forget the amount of work that goes to explaining the simplest things, every raycast is stylised and sometimes made sillier like in the cloud hair thing or the plane where it broke in the middle there, it's so much attention to details and i absolutely love it
As someone who also has a creative mind and often struggles with the math side of things, this is very inspirational. Excellent work so far. Can't wait to see more.
As a fellow maths A-level failure (and then subsequently failing all but one of the compulsory maths modules doing comp sci at university) this is a very reassuring video to see! Think I found a new favourite channel
Hes back!!! Im so ready to watch this
That triangle coordinates thing was so interesting that I NEED to give you a prize.
Glad to see somebody trying to pull it off
omg your back man your videos bring so much joy and your one of the few devs to actual remain posting after covid thank you man
So happy to see that you're back and that you've uploaded!! I'm seriously in love with your content man
Barycentric coordinates were found by August Möbius, the same guy who also found the möbius strip. At some point you notice that like 90% of popular maths is named after or invented by like 10 people
Instant like and sub for the Barry Centric joke, at which I laughed far harder than I probably should have…
Ahaha I had started to think everyone had taken it seriously. Thanks very much dude and welcome :)
Y’know, I was almost worried about you, but luckily your video explaining why you haven’t uploaded recently help kept me sane. :)
I missed you, man. Your drawings and sense of humour make you one of the funniest game devs on youtube
Aw thank you so much 🙏
WOOOOHOOOOOO Rob's back!!! so excited to see where you take this! theres a lot of us rooting for you man, great to have you back and see what other amazing things you have in store for us
New viewer here, loved the video, the programming, the editing, the visualizations, the animation, the jokes, can't wait for part 2!
You're the best mather who's claimed to not be good at matching I've ever seen Robert.
As an American... I have no idea what grade E is... so I'll just assume it means Excellent.
What the fuck is a kilometer 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have no idea why I didn't get notified that you uploaded but by god am I glad to know you're back! Missed your content mate!
Truly amazing and fun presentation of such a complex and beatiful topic I didn´t know anything about, waiting for Part 2 thanks a lot!
OOOH yes! This is literally sweets covered in gold, wrapped in moms pancakes and grandma's hugs for my eyeballs, ears and brain. "We Will Watch Your Career With Great Interest" Wee!
This is my one my favorite game dev channels, welcome back man!
the bit where the raycast comes down, kills mario, and then ur bean turns into cloud spinning the arrow had me in tears
Yeaaaah, he's back
Wow! Thanks to people like you, we can finally understand what goes on behind making these 'Colossal' games! I finished SOC on PS2 three times, and it was one of the main inspirations for me to pursue a career in game development. I am so glad I found your channel !
Looking forward to the next video. All the best, mate!
MOUNT MARTIN IS BACK LET'S KICK IT
glad to have you back :)
Wonderful breakdown and process. Would definitely love to see you pursue this more!
When you're making something this advanced approachable you know you're good. Incredible work, loved every second! MORE!
I love the scripting and the editing of this video. You making coding more fun for my potato of a brain. I feel like I can comprehend it better.
your content is inspiring really! love your videos glad you're back
love these videos, good to see your still around
This is looking really cool so far! I'm curious how you'll handle crossing from 1 polygon to another polygon when they aren't touching. Like across the fingers of a fist, or from one hand to another if his hands were touching. Either way though I'm looking forward to the next video
I missed you! You're still just as funny as I remember!
It's great to see you back!!
Glad to see some technique behind this. I remember setting up my own SOTC clone in unity and accomplished it by making a raycast and then using the triangle index and barycentric coordinates to calculate the target position. Because the system ran at a fixed interval, it handled extremely fast moving skinned meshes (like a giant bird that flaps and spins in the air). Added some procedural animation by making a pendelum with two spheres like the original game did too. Really interesting how they made it work on the PS2.
I've looked at the thumbnail and was like "I know this guy"
Sure did, and he's even back with more stuff
welcome back! I love this format with more in depth explanations
I was waiting for this day. I'm glad it came and was even better than expected! Good work, I'll be back for next one.
I love your devlogs so glad your back!
So happy to see you upload agian, I'd love to see this become a gamre or even just video series of you making things you think are cool! I adored this video!
nice! you always bring me lots of joy, hope to see more devblogs with this idea
I honestly was trying to do the same thing but my progress didn’t get anywhere near as far. This brings so much more insight on my questions. Great video as always!
Let’s gooo new upload
Highest quality devlogs on YT
man your video creation & editing skills are so good it really makes me wish you uploaded more this is a really good video
New to the channel, but it's amazing
Can't wait for part 2 !
Ok, my internet went down and the video began to charge right at this moment 7:55 and I legitimately waited 30s in front of my screen thinking "you won't have me like that, i'm gonna wait as long as I need to" lol, I'm really exited to watch your next videos great work !
I'm so happy you are doing this. I've been thinking about the programming aspect of SotC for way too long
Sotc is just a technological marvel of a video game
Love the technical terms in the video
The legend is backk!! Very excited for this series
Looking great! Can't wait for the next part
Awesome video! I love the visualisations you have made
very good explaination dude, love the way you present the informations
So I think (if there will be part 2) the whole idea is to assign (state of the physics) "floor", "wall" and "roof" to the mesh's triangles. [now only on "active" triangles] We fire raycast on the y axis down (it is easier for me for it to facing the ground and triangle being "point (0;0)") from each triangle and where it's facing, calculate the angle between these two and depending on angles the triangles get they can change their states.
If angle is (idk it is more to the feeling and gameplay but I am just theorizing) 0° - 60° it changes to "roof";
if angle is 70° - 120° it changes to "wall";
if angle is 120° - 180° it changes to "floor".
It should work easily with "materials" as each material have to consider/read only state of triangle not again calculating whole angle - let's go with "ice" surface: as "floor' it make character slide a little, as "wall" it makes player to slide down (fast), as "roof" it is impossible to grab.
Now I am actually curious if that will work (It is just my theory I have no experience whatsoever)
YYYYYYAAYYYYYY ROBERT SI BACKKK!!! Love your videos dude! Missed your devlogs
So glad to see a new gamedev video :D
can't wait for the next one. Also congrats on +100k subs!
You’re pretty spot on at 4:03 :D also the editing was *chefs kiss*
Good job. You made this entertaining and engaging.
your visual explanations are really amazing
Really cool video as always!
His back….best start of the year!!!!🎉
Man I’ve miss you! Awesome video, thanks!
damn i forgot how good these videos are, great job!!!
wowowowoo welcome back!
omfg you're alive. thank your for making another video 🙏
thanks for making this series on my birthday i love these huge bosses
Damn i really missedyour videos, i really enjoyed. Keep up the great work
Man these videos always make me giggle.
No way! I've been rewatching your videos the past few days because i really loved the way you animate and draws silly guys, and i was wondering if you would ever come back. Amazing video, your videos are always so unique and always a blast
Im excited to see where this goes, I love SotC. And im a beginner game dev. Good luck on your journey.
I'm so glad you're doing this. I've also been reaaaaalllly interested in SoC style gameplay. and I too, have doo doo brain
thank you so much for this video, you finally made me realize how I could make one of my game design projects work!
this is reallllyyyy cool!! i played your "death by ai" game a lot with my family and they all seemed to enjoy it! i'll let them know that you're making another great-looking game!
Alomst Perfect editing , great humor , i dont use unity but i loved watching you talking really good stuff
I love the idea of Shadow of the Colossus-esque indie game! It's one of the games that I feel like could have a lot done by taking the concept in different directions. It'd also be great to see indie games inspired by Mario Galaxy
I just remembered about your channel a day ago, and you're back yipeeee
Yes :) keep uploading. Got 2 vids in the past 3 months 🎉 I want to see you make games. Absolutely love your content
Hello again, its been a while but its good to have you back man, arguably casting a collosal shadow over youtube, yep
Omg the man is finally back
This is incredibly underrated. Ive loved shadow of the colossus for years now, unfortunately when it was made i was in my fathers balls, so not quite the OG fan. But when it came out on ps4 i loved it to death! Watching this video makes me wish there were more games devs like you.
I've missed you. Thank you for feeding me once more
yo w upload schedule as per usual
im am at tears knowing that i might never manage this, but inspired to try
Bruh. This is epic. Thx for sharing your knowledge
You can't possibly love SotC more than me.
Incredible, as someone who has a huge complex about math but still pushes through both game dev and systems progamming, I gotta ask were there any times you almost gave up during this? The problems you're solving and lessons you're learning are pretty next level my man.
Ha actually this (and the bits that you will see in future videos) was incredibly hair pulling at times, there always seemed to be "one more bug" after I thought I'd solved everything. But seeing how it was basically working and the feeling of being so close to the finish line - it was impossible to stop at that point, it became almost obsessive.
Thanks for the words of encouragement, it's nice to know others out there also don't find it as easy as your typical genius coder but are motivated still :)
Finally some good content to eat food to (glad to have you back)
so glad to have you back, dumande
MY GOD THE LEGEND'S HERE
the animation in this video goes HARD
Oh the dude is back!
its been a minute lol welcome back :D
Great video man.
Welcome back, solider
I love shadow of the colossus almost as much as you do
I have zero knowledge of programming and I struggle to even get stick figures right, but I have always wanted to make a shadow of the colossus type game. This video makes me want to start, like, right now. I think I will.
Yes, I'm makeing one too!
I'm very excited to see the next video!
you are so funny man i cannot believe how in love i am with you and your videos, thank you
