Club Tweak

I tried a spin attack finale… seems to fit better!

Club Combo

What to say- it’s a guy swinging about a club!

A little more similar to the sword ones than i would have liked, but i can tweak/redo if i have a better idea of how to make it feel more “clubby” in the latter attacks… feels like the jump and slamdown at the end is a bit too athletic, but having trouble coming up with another good “finale” for it.

Bow Combo

I’m pretty sure we won’t use combos for ranged weapons but I figured I’d have a go at one and see how it plays ingame… you can see I was kinda struggling to come up with something, and I still don’t really feel like I figured it out.

I’m guessing we won’t end up using it, but was still a fun experiment… The shot where he fires straight up was going to rain down a cluster of arrows around him.

Dagger Combo

And I did the dagger tonight too…

1-Handed Sword Combo

Same kinda thing but for the regular sword…

2-Handed Sword COMBO

I got sick of banging my head against those stupid god statue designs, so I’m taking a break and extending the anim sets for weapon combos

This is *almost* the longest combo with a 2-handed sword- going to have one mega attack right on the end that i haven’t decided on yet…

When you pick up gear, each weapon will have a “level”, so an L.3 sword can only do the first 3 attacks from the combo before you have a cooldown and start again, so the attacks basically get more damage and bigger hitboxes the further you get into the combo…

I’m thinking about some prop like a workbench or something you can find to upgrade/fix your gear- perhaps needing you to find the right ingredients to craft with etc- pretty standard fare, but i like the idea of doing that stuff in a super fast arcadey way

Blog posts are the best way to procrastinate!

I’m having troubles designing these damn god statue thingies…

The design is that each player can put a little “token” at the feet of a specific god statue, and that will control both the way their monsters evolve, and what stats their hero gains when he goes up levels…

So there are four main gods- one associated with health, one with strength, one with dexterity and one with magic. Then there is a fifth which is a balanced random. So everyone’s token starts on the random. If you are a new player and you don’t know about the system, that’s fine, you’ll leave your token there and you’ll still upgrade just fine- it will choose randomly but spread them over all 4 so you don’t end up with a deficiency… but you will have no strong specialty either.
