Seems like the camera system is doing the camera system things like I wanted it to. Good. Belt scrolling unlocked.

Drillers got second attack, a spike from below. They are now straight up bullies :D

To create full variety of enemies for a beat'em'up, I'll need certain amount of attacks:

IN
-regular
-jump
-charge

TO BE DONE
-spawned entity (damage/DOT/CC)
-shot
-weapon/item throw
-grenade
-shield/defend
-extending hitbox
-active multihit
-grapple/stun
-throw

Time for the spawned entity type.

Sketched a quick temp art for the second enemy to test out new attack types. First one is in: charge.

Sometimes you spend couple days refactoring and you end up with code that isn't exactly yet at the point it was before refactor

I now have a bug with Octis sliding when entering idle state that wasn't there earlier, but the new architecture is way more customizable and less spaghettified. Good shit

Adding juggling to my tiny kaiju beat'em'up and it's SO MUCH FUN to test :D

Things that you don't have to give a damn about in 3D: properly displaying particles in Y sorted environment is a relatively challenging thing

What I ended up doing is spawning a particle prefab at the same Y position as the enemies for sorting purpose, but its internal sprite node gets a Y offset

Slowly adding steering behaviors for enemy scatter mode, to make them feel bit more alive and fun. Octis are REALLY active at this point in time, but I need to add switching between aggressive/scatter states before I tweak this behavior.

Since I'm way ahead of the schedule (6 days), and I'm really enjoying TheGamedevTavern's tutorials, I'm going through the second one - arcade style soccer game. Having so much fun.
