Oct 16 Update

 I've almost finished the combo system, there's still some bugs, but I think I'm happy with it. I threw around some ideas earlier but I think they made things too clunky. I'm still doing some final touches to the boss level, it's just the type of thing where I need some time away from it before I go back and fix it all up.

Late Jan Update

 I added a simple vertex shader to the dashes that "smears" the mesh. It took me an embarassingly long time because I'm pretty bad at shaders. Right now the dash is a solid color but it'll be easy to add a texture to it later on. I used this ue4 tutorial as a guide for getting the general idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDgAAwbKFZU but I didn't follow it too closely since I wanted to puzzle it out. Pressing launch in air now allows for the opposite of a launch, a fast fall attack of some sort. Right now only gauntlets' is implemented and it does a down punch and a straight down crash into the ground that has a decent attack radius. I'm in the process of updating a bunch of older animations and adding new ones, since sword's are all really old + chain is way too short. I'm also starting on sound soon, so hopefully that'll add a new level. Added support for different flinch animations so now the enemy can have different "damaged" ...

Rhys n Iris after YuriJam 2023 submission

 There was a bit of a crunch unfortunately in order to get things in before the jam finished. Initially I wasn't going to do ending sketches, but then it turned into wanting people to connect to the characters more, so more writing got added and so did ending cgs. The ending cgs aren't really the quality of the sprites because I had to do 3 of them in 3 weeks and was burning out somewhat. I'm not really the fastest or most skilled 2d artist so that was rough. I thought that I had enough time with an entire extra year after last year but I think that there was a lot more work than I thought there was. I also wanted to polish stuff more, especially the vfx but just couldn't do it in time for the jam. I wanted to dig more into the writing too but once again, lack of time was the major problem. When I first started this project a few years ago, I had some 3d modeling knowledge and programming but knew nothing about game development. I've learned a lot now, so I'm ho...

May 19th Update

I have been completely forgetting to post updates, but I have actually been working on stuff this entire month. I've added in the new special weapon system with a set of basic animations and particle effects, but the twist is the boss also has access to it - albeit in a different format. The goal of this is to make the player scramble for something vs the boss so that it injects a bit of freshness and alternative goals into the fight. I haven't implemented all the stuff I would like for it yet, but I'm getting close. I've also fixed a few other obscure and strange bugs that have existed since Godot 3 (one was a nasty race condition one) and made the projectile system more flexible. I'm starting to import some of the models into the Godot 4 version, so I should have some screenshots and videos in the next couple of months. Sera still needs a few more enhancements to her controller to make her prioritize certain things but I think I should have a working demo soon and...
