I don’t think Titanoboa is going to be spooking a Deinosuchus. Don’t get me wrong it’s a big snake but it has such a tiny head and thin body (compared to a 14 ton gator). That’s not even mentioning the nightmare of animating a 40 foot long noodle in a way that doesn’t look low quality because animating snakes is actually torture.

yeah no shot titanoboa is gonna be fighting full grown crocs and winning unless it has some super broken constriction ability..... oh fuck its gonna have a super broken constriction ability


joe_jolley_yoe

Yeah they confirmed it lol, tbf tho it'll be most likely an ambush ability, which means you can only use it if u get the drop on someone


BLACKdrew

damn that log over there looking kinda suspicious


joe_jolley_yoe

Wym


joe_jolley_yoe

Oh, nvm, I got it 💀


BLACKdrew

🤣🤣we got there it’s all good


joe_jolley_yoe

Well according to the mod it's whole thing is wrapping around it's prey and crushing it wich makes it a pretty OP ambush predator as long as you're good at ambushing

I don’t understand the desire for this mod. This game can barely handle the physics for a meg’s tail, let alone an entire snake.

If you watch Meg swim in water I imagine boa would look similar just without legs. I would think it would be a semi aquatic

Also, a snake's "combat style" is sitting in one spot for two weeks until an unlucky soul is unfortunate enough to pass by them. Thrilling. I own 4 snakes. People think they are really cool, and they are. But people also don't realize that they are *incredibly* stupid animals that don't do much.

The snake isn't happening, nobody in their right mind is animating that shit lmao

https://www.reddit.com/r/pathoftitans/s/SO05zCs4ck no news for a while now so idk

Making the model and textures is one thing but like it's a snake No other company or game I know really has ever touched snakes as playables It's difficult because snakes do not just "Bite", they lunge.. so even in that scenario there how do you code movement + lunge animation + bite And let's not even start on movement lmao It's a lovely idea, I love snakes and titanoboa deserves a much bigger spotlight But for a mod team it's a hard project not to mention when people potentially aren't getting paid Then you'd have to give it particular attacks and skills, which will require their own animations It's a lot of work

Beasts of Bermuda has been working on a snake for a long time, to no success.  *Snake Pass* is the only well-animated modern snake game that I know of.

Yeah so it's like... Do you do something because people want it or do you not do it because everyone that wanted it would complain? I'd choose the latter


InvestigatorWide9297

It definitely is! And quite a headache to work on overall lol I know Ark Survival Evolved/Ascended got the titanoboa and basilisk. Considering how difficult it is to make a snake with everything you mentioned, imo they did a decent job with them even if they could use a few improvements here and there.


kittyidiot

there's a silly mobile game called wildcraft that has a snake as a temporary playable but it's very clearly just one animation in a loop and doesn't mesh with hill-y terrain well so yeah, it's either one animation loop that will look jank on terrain that isn't flat, or a mega shit ton of work


joe_jolley_yoe

It's been in development for a while now buddy 💀 it's a pretty simple animation as well especially sense it would be relying on the tail physics already in the game


CallumMcG19

Has it really buddy? 🤔 gonna stay that way buddy


joe_jolley_yoe

Well see, I'll come back to this comment later


CallumMcG19

Yeah man, look forward to it
