Been a while since any dev journal so here is a new one. This is about the expression system that will be in 2.3
The system works by monitoring the player state by measuring things such as health, time since combat, if they were hit recently, etc. and generates a player state similar in ways to how an AI works. This state is then used to chose a particular facial animation to apply as the base facial layer. Next the game also has an additional layer for very quick facial scenes such as when you are hit, or when you pickup food, etc. Finally on top of that are the vocal scenes. These scenes are to be authored with mainly mouth movements with only minor expressions baked into them since our system will already be supplying the majority of the facial animation already. This will make the characters feel more alive as they duel and enter all sorts of mayhem. Here are some samples:      |

That's damned cool, looks like we're in for a treat with 2.3. I love the expression the captain has in the fourth. A sort of devious smug satisfaction.

THATS FREAKING AWESOME!!
PVK 2.3 will certainly be real game worthy (like CSS or HL:D, but better)  If evreything is finished you guys should put this as a game on steam. I would buy it. --------------------  |

Hehe, that's cool, but in the heat of the battle I won't look at the others face so often.... oh wait, staring contest.
Btw, what do the numbers indicate? |

What can I say.
I cannot wait to see this game on steam. I hope you'll get thousands of players; you deserve it if anyone does. The facial expressions are awesome. Looking the same as in tf2

To those saying you don't notice expressions in battle - you'd be surprised.
