Digimon World - Model Video
Digimon World - Hiro/Mameo Animation
Greymon Idle Anim
Digimon World in UE4 - What would Hiro look like running around in game? A little test with the run and idle anims. Unfortunately, I do not know enough Blueprint to get Greymon to follow, but still, fun nonetheless!
Digimon World is and will always be one of the games that is the closest to my heart, and for the Retrogasm competition this year, I really wanted to pay homage to it.
In the video shown here, my ultimate goal was to get across a feeling of melancholy and nostalgia, which is what I feel Retrogasm is all about really. A yearning for something gone, but perhaps some optimism for things yet to come. This feeling is reflected in the scene of the dying Greymon - Digimon World is all about death and rebirth, and not holding onto something you hold dear, as all the Digimon you raise eventually die of old age, and are reborn again as new Digimon. Hours of your life spent on raising a Digimon, and for what? Just for it to die? No, it is reborn as something new, something slightly better each time.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it!
