after some physical therapy, Kael has finally loosened up his stiff back posture, and his attack has been pushed MUCH harder!

Great progress today. Knocked out a ton of the variants for different points in the story. The last main things to do are reverse engineer Henry's design, interpret my create-a-character as a sprite in my style, and... Kael. Ugh. We'll see about him... :P

Finally, finally, FINALLY getting to animating new Kael's attack! Here's the 3 hit combo! I love the secondary motion from the scarf :D

The only way I've been able to keep this project intact is via the massive amount of notes and details I've kept totally organized in spreadsheets & sprawling OneNote docs. There's a lot of ideas to juggle, and these tools help keep me from dropping them.

Picked a bad time to stop posting, to be honest. This gif is a year old! just a snippet of how things have evolved.

just doin some concept art. waterfall jungle level in the second act of the game. I think I want to do as many of these as I can with every level in the game. it's just been sitting in my head for ages--'bout time I finally open the can and pour it out!

Here are some snippets of Rina in action from Demo 1, which was built in #Unity. I've got UI, cheat codes, and the whole backend system of the Magic Loadouts. I have since moved onto Demo 2 with Kael, built in #Godot.

i've been having too much fun wasting time polishing the cosmetic appearance of my game's obsidian vault, adding banners and art all over the place. this week i updated several of the deities. the glowups from what they were before is crazy...

YUGE milestones! the entire data-fed attack pipeline is in place! healthbars and floating combat text!

Elemental matchup chart v2.0. It's a lot more well organized, pretty consistent mechanically, has some interesting balance ideas, and a lot of them can even be backed up with lore. Excited to try these out in game, which is next!
