Looks very nice. Since he does have a puck on his stick, normally a player has both hands on his stick as well most of the time. In the beginning of the video and when he skates the longer distances, it does not appear to be that way.

Nothing bad, just an observation!

Thanks. Like I said those are basic animations just to show what stage I am on.

Tomorrow I will show my true power (you might shit yourself)

BTW I truly enjoy all comments, especially the helpful ones so dont worry about offending me

Here we go guys.

FIRST ITERATION of a hockey player with some simple animations.
-Skating
-Skating Backwards
-Turning on the left side
-Shooting (Complete targeting system)
-Breaking front and back

We are getting somewhere

Would you need any help creating sounds?

I mostly work with producing music tho, not this kind of stuff, but I am pretty familiar with music softwares.

I wont promise any success, but it could be fun to try something.

Actually I need all the help I can find I basically have nothing in the sound department yet except some basic shot and puck it ice, boards, and no menu music or theme song so yeah! show me what you got

Latest Display Hockey PC

Video has slow motion action to display the accuracy of the animations with shooting and puck control.

This is where we are now.

1.Hockey Stick Bends while shooting.
2.You can aim in the net, corners, 5 holes, pretty much all 9 "strategic targets".
3.simple animations like a small goalie save, player dribbling puck and shooting.

Nest this week will be goalie making some saves and player skating around the rink forward and backward. Simple animations until I can afford a ROKOKO SUIT

Don't forget to like share or subscribe to keep up with updates and when I will start a crowd funding.

now here is my latest update.

the goalie moves(steps) left and right according to the players position and forward and backward depending on player proximity

I did not put player simple skating animations yet, though they are created. created basic shooting and idle position for player which can target all 9 basic target for the net : top left, top center, top right and so on for middle and bottom.

the targeting system allow more accuracy based on player creation skills stats from poor aim to awesome aim.

Also created goalie saves animations from butterfly to standing where you can see a bit of when i shoot in the glove

as always let me know what you guys think.

You should try to contact 2KHS on Youtube. He's revamping NHL 2K and could probably offer some valuable advice and pointers.

thanks ill look him up

Got an update!!!

Been working hard lately

I created a basic goalie with a basic animation to test my new Targeting system

You can pick the corners, 5 holes or even shoot straight in the logo if you want.

targeting is working great and will be modified by players creating and setting their own player abilities.

Stamina

Shooting Power

Shooting Accuracy

Slap Power

Slap Accuracy

and so on

Been trying to keep goalie and player textures as close as NHL09 Template as much as possible when it is possible

So check it out and please let the word out for an upcoming Hockey Game on PC

We are creating it basically so we can play like EASHL from EA.

Thanks

Hi, I can help with 3d arenas.

Awesome,

Posts some stuff on sketchfab or share your stuff here. let see how we can help each other getting this game on the road

Zitat von greg88

Nearly 300k tris ? Seems to be a little too many for a game ready model. But you're probably going to do some kind of retopology ?

right now because the gloves are primitive i subdivided for the look but basically the mesh is around 144k unoptimized. i am looking for around 50k per character when the game is released

yeah its high for sketchfab only

Zitat von Wasserlasser

how we can add textures to it to start playing around?

That's a Good Question. Any sugestions?

Here is the complete goalie (first draft).

should have goalie animations by Monday since they are pretty easy to do (basic stuff)

This is the New Goalie Mask for my game, complete goalie coming soon

is completely compatible with goalie textures for NHL09

Zitat von Barrus

This seems very interesting indeed.

And as Wasserlasser said, i am sure that people are willing to help!

I will follow this thread aswell, maybe help in some way, even tho i am a real amateur.

This is really exciting stuff. I always felt it would be a great idea for an indie publisher to make a hockey game with "generic" or "fantasy" teams to avoid pesky copyright laws and then either allow customization within the game or allow outside modifications. Eastside Hockey Manager on steam has a similar model. When you buy the game its just generic teams and player names as the game has no major league licenses.. The community through the workshop provides the rest IE update to date rosters, logos, player faces, staff faces, etc... I will be following this thread with enthusiasm

Thank You, this is a long time dream of mine

im in no rush to collect money or anything. i will keep updating on what is hapening for sure

thanks for the support and let the word out, cant hurt for sure.

Question: is there anyone who ever tried to extract 3D player and goalie from nhl09 and make them with a higher res (3D mesh) and import back into nhl09? cause i got this going for my own game but maybe i could make nhl09 look better by double or triple the 3d meshes faces.

Zitat von Wasserlasser

So what can we do as a community to support you and get this thing moving. If there would be a new game, this would be a huge game changer!

to be honest i dont really know kind of new at this. i guess a crowd funding would be usefull but first , i want to create some basic stuff to disaplay what i can do.

So here are the steps

1. Lets get the word out that there is a pc hockey game coming soon

2. i will release here some templates to create some uniforms (no copyrighted material) and invite the community to participate

(any content creator is welcome to help) - 3d artists, animators, 2d artists, anything anyone can bring to the game

2. i wanna create a skater with basic animations (skate and take shots)

3. a goalie with basic animations (block shots and move around)

4. release a pre-alpha free downloadable version so people can skate around and take shots or drive the ice resurfacer and clean the ice and come up with ideas to make the game better

5. then start a crowd funding. ( basically all i need is a Rokoko motion suit to create strong 60fps animations for both the skater and the goalie. Cause i can do everything except i am not a very good animator

Anything to get the word out would be a plus right now i guess

btw thank you so much for the attention and the help

this is a project i have been dying to put up for years now

hopefuly it will get done properly

... it might be interesting for your game, to keep the textures and texcoords of EA NH2K9. Indeed, you can see that the cyber artists of this community are doing a great job and you could perhaps benefit from their work for the textures of your game if they agree.

oh thats very interesting the bodybank file and it looks like that would be it. ill look it up to

i actually created the hockey player and built the UV for the euipment textures based on the template i found for NHL04 years ago which is still in used here today i beleive. As for the arena it is completely me because i cant use other peoples work in any way and get sued. But i will be creating in a way that i can release the templates to be used by the community. I want my game to be totally MOD friendly since i am not gonna pay to release a NHL license product. as musch as i can i will stay in the framework of the tools(as much as possible) used by this community

Hi normandguerin,

I am the author of NEBOViewer, a tool that allows you to open and display game .ebo files. So I have a little experience in exploring the structure of these files. So let me bring you my own answer.

There are surely some files in the game that contain animations, but so far the cyber artist community has focused on modifying shapes and not animations. It will be difficult to answer you. I don't know if it's possible to extract the animations, but I might be able to look at this without guarantee.

Nevertheless, I think you are in the right place to look for help because there are really many talented people on the forum. I guess we are all a bit curious about your project, if you could tell us a bit more about it, we would appreciate it.

I donwloaded NEBOviewer and another one called ebo viewer but could not find animations files in any viv or anywhere for that matter.

I used to be a huge pc mod fan back with nhl04 but stopped in 2013 as i started playing nhl13 on the ps, so i figured if anyone could help me it would be that community. just found out about this website yesterday i thought that comunity was long dead

Zitat von Wasserlasser

I am not aware of this. If you do this, do you have some Screens? Are you developping it yourself or will you do a Kickstarter at one point?

I do have some stuff i can show you. yes so far i am working alone but hopefully i can get some basic creations so i can display what i can do before i try to get crowd fundings.

as you can see my animations are a bit crude and i would like to make them more fluent and natural

Hello everyone,

I am currently developing a hockey game for PC on unreal. I was wondering is there a way to extract NHL09 skaters animations. Not to use them in my own game in any way but to use them as a template for my own animations.

I would prefer to by a ROKOKO suit to create mocaps but right now my business finances dont allow me to.

Anyb help would be apreciated

Thank You
