Since the game's EA launch half a year, I've been focusing a lot on optimization. I made a post describing some methods I've used and showing the progress I've made: https://gustofwindgame.com/blog/?p=184

Some of the enemy face variety in Gust of Wind, done by randomizing blendshapes.

When the character falls on a very slanted surface, it switches to fall with physics. I had this before too, but yesterday did some big improvements on how it looks (adding its own animation and adjusting the transitions, physics collider and camera).

I tried a hood on the character. I don't know what I'll do yet but I'm mostly leaning towards the original look.

The game got a big new update, adding things like Steam Deck support and AI allies that can be brought on to fight enemies in certain situations.

Thanks for showing your support y'all!

Spending my effort on the things that matter in Gust of Wind

I got some feedback of the caracters looking too "cute" (or goofy was the exact word). There's some intentional goofiness for sure, but maybe the character style clashes too much with conventions of the stealth genre. I did an experimental paintover.

On a long guard shift, sleep can come easily in Gust of Wind
