But this instantly gives so much more feel to the shots. delay between shots is customizable too of course so i'm gonna have some fun making all sorts of weapons.

Before and after implementing an animation reset (Check the comment for the after! I'm not sure why won't bluesky let me put two gifs side by side.) needless to say, weapons are coming along nicely, ignore the fact there's no sprite for them yet!

I couldn't resist, there's shotguns now too.
I know exactly what i'm going to use for my whole first playthrough.

I got projectiles working! Important PSA, friendly fire is on in this game! so careful where you cast fireball at...
also kinda proud of how good the tooltip looks

IT LIVES IT LIVESSSSSSSS
Now with shitpost descriptions because i cant be assed to write proper for this
#gamedev #indiedev

Now, anyone know a proper UI artist?

Still working on polishing combat, there's now tooltips! So you can preview your damage, and in order to make those useful, there's now a health number display on enemy health bars, with a little depletion animation!

Little more polish! Added a little walking ghost of the character to preview the move, looks much better now!

As extra, tanks can now also shove enemies to further reinforce their role of zone control

It looks messy, but I've managed to implement the reverse of an attack of opportunity, when an enemy enters the attack radius of a tank and tries to move past that zone, they will get stopped, movement reduced to zero and get hit. Now to improve the animations and camera...

Messing around with bloom and my testing scene with the water is apparently bright enough to get bloom too, making a really interesting effect, i might play around with this. Maybe if i make it all purple and swirly and starry?

Lil particle system for trees! What else can i do to give my towns a bit more life?

And of course, the outside, the lights go off at midnight. placeholder textures and all. Anyone know a good tilemap artist who wants to take a crack at some city pavement?

Okay, so maybe i should have made this a fake 2D right from the get-go so i could get realistic lights into the houses just from the transparency in the PNGs, but it's too late now! Ill just manually draw the light. Here's the hopefully finished day cycle from inside an inn.

I can't get over the stupid little puff of leaves, enjoy getting mugged in the forest!
