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.

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!

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

Lately I've been setting up a lot of new characters, so I'm filling out my portrait project chart to make sure I don't forget anyone. These spreadsheets are so invaluable to my ability to organize my thoughts. Y'all have no idea.

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

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!

I have a scriptable object for each element as the attacker, with entries for other elements mapped to enum values for each multiplier. To keep things organized, instead of having a class for all spells, each family of spells will have its own.

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

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