Hey Friends :)

My name is Eric and I am making a game called LUCID.

Its a love letter to the games I played growing up.

I'd love to connect and be friends.

Higher level gameplay in OPTIONAL ENDGAME content!
Don’t be intimidated, you can absolutely do this too. 💪💯

I’m just tired of games that ask you to mash "A" and call it depth.

What do you look for in great combat systems? 🌸

New ANIMATIONS are IN. 🌸

I’m trying to hit that sweet spot between responsive and expressive : not floaty, not stiff.

Does this feel good to play, or just good to look at?

Indie dev journey continues 💎 follow along. 🙏💜

Always need to make sure movement feels smooth from start to end, and from end to start.
