A cyberpunk game starring KANA, in development in Unreal Engine 5.8
Steam · planned for mid-May 2027
Work in progress, posted as it happens. Newest first.
Approach and talk, and the camera cuts to a 50mm close-up with cinematic letterboxing. Lip sync and facial animation are generated from the voice audio with MetaHuman Animator, and subtitle timing is split automatically from the waveform.
Our fluffy pet Daifuku takes a one-minute bath, from shower to blow-dry. About 1.2 million strands are rendered with UE5.8 Groom, with wet clumping, foam and blow-dried fur driven by physics simulation and Deformer Graph.
We run NVIDIA's text-to-motion model Kimodo locally and built it into our pipeline. Passing the last 5 frames of each clip as full-body keyframe constraints lets generated motions chain seamlessly. Exported as FBX for Unity, Unreal Engine and Godot.

handle most of the implementation; humans direct and playtest
We share what we learn on X and in this dev log
