More QoL and bugfixes for the Moulder demo.

This should clarify some previously impenetrable parrying windows and polish player and enemy movement.

The secrets have proven themselves to be... very secret. Too much for my taste. So they have been made easier to find.

Yes. The maggot throwing mechanic is mostly unchanged, this is mostly to make the weapons more interesting.

I will post a video on Youtube detailing all of the changes, but I need to make the main character's model first.

Previously, combat consisted of standing around after latching your maggots and repelling the enemy's attempts to shake them off, which was interesting but too reactive. I think giving the player some agency when no maggots are around is very important (and parrying shake-offs isn't gone!)

A proposed change to Moulder, my Pikmin and Monster Hunter-inspired game.

Previously an FPS, this new prototype uses a 3rd person character with a melee moveset. Base mechanics unchanged.

Hi!
Moulder has a fairly straightforward story but there are buckets of lore.
