I'll go first(it's long)

Because I had to manually record every waking animation for each a.
I still feel the pain from making this, fun fact you can’t make them just go to one place and hope they don’t target you so I had to keep my distance from each one while they're trying to go the ai area while also following them(I was alone).
But then I had the idea that if I make the ai go to my team they wouldn’t attack me, but when they go to a specific team they change their skin color to what their team color(team 1 is blue so it makes them blue) and I wanted them in their original form that everyone recognizes so I scraped that idea and did my original idea.
The second part that made this hard was making them the same speed so I can follow them while also making them not too fast, so I had to figure out how fast I go and how fast they go for each ai because sometimes it is completely different in speed(goblins are 4.5 and Skelton with the musket is 3.5 so they can reach my speed)and also fun fact the Skelton with the musket is always dashing not walking, unlike the others for some reason.
Thankfully the flying ai made it easier because they are constantly in animation and don’t look different while moving to another place so all I did was record their backside.
And I did all of that on my phone for 3 hours, while also recording, I'm surprised that it didn’t catch on fire, But it was worth it because it became my most famous video so it was worth it in the end.

What's your hardest

If we’re going by rec room related thing

I played the role of everyone here. Took a bit of timing, green screening, masking, etc. Everyone was recorded in real time and no holotars were used

It was double hard because I have severe joystick drift and had to use button walk to make characters move around, and making button walk look natural and not having your hand stick out is not the easiest thing on the planet

the hardest thing i made while making a room was enough motivation lol

# weary shell I'm guessing it was worth it because this looks so good

Mainly did it because I didn’t want to bother friends on a pasión project

Also chose not to use holotars because
Holotars can’t wear costumes
Holotars can’t pick up items
Holotars can’t have facial expressions
Holotars only last 15 seconds
Holotars are hard to get proper timing with

Unless you have friends

I’ll argue if you’re willing to put in the extra effort and timing shenanigans, doing everything alone with green screens is amazing. Do something too fast? Slow down that single character. Too slow? Speed that one thing up. It doesn’t mess with any other part of the shot and most of the time isn’t even noticeable because it’s just one character

Definitely harder but the end result is just good

I made a rotating and height changing artillery battery with a camera and rocket which would kill people in its blast zone, took a good while cuz it’s cv1 and it only goes so far but after months of trying to figure out a way to do it I finally did, real cool
