Beating rocks with pickaxes until ore drops out, a.k.a. mining. Should I add a specific animation for that, or is it funnier when it's the normal attack moveset?

"Must have been the wind..."
Maybe the ballista arrows should do a little more damage.

The easiest way for a fire mage to hone their skills and restore mana is to set a forest ablaze and constantly absorb the flames, as they spread over the area. For some reason, fire mages don't have a very good reputation.

In Relics of the Forgotten, mana is restored by absorbing energy from powerful elemental sources. It's stored in magic gems to be released at a later point (notice the ring in the second clip).

Weapons also collide with the ground now. Depending on the surface material and the strength of the attack, a hit may get stuck on its way. So depending on the environment, a smaller weapon might be favorable.

Started working on improved collisions for environmental objects. It's still in a very early stage, but we're getting somewhere.

Why doesn't our moon have a Huygens ring? I think it would look way cooler.
Sure, probably something about the gravitational pull of earth and orbital resonance or something. Science won't let us have nice things.

I started to work on some screen effects for player damage (blood splatters) and fatigue (tunnel vision). Any suggestions?

One of these swords absorbs heat, the other one releases it as a fire wave. The more energy was absorbed, the stronger the attacks become.

"What are quest markers? Just ask someone for the way, you antisocial nerd!"

(Almost) every NPC can give you directions to characters and locations. Only if they know the person or place, of course.

Maybe not the best time to share this, but... I made a wildfire mechanic.

Limb-based damage + limb-based looting means you should not smash an enemy's head, if you plan to sell it as a trophy afterwards.

Abductions are fun!

Hitting specific body parts applies different status effects: injured legs make a character run slower, with damaged arms, they will attack less efficiently, a concussion decreases their intelligence.

It was actually pretty simple. Just some "Transform (Modify) Bone" nodes in the Anim Graph of the Animation Blueprint that rotate the pelvis and spine bones of the character.

The rotator is based on the pitch of the camera. You will probably have to tweak the values a bit based on your character.

Attack animations follow to the player camera angle, which allows precise hits on weak points such as the enemy's head.
