Here's a comic I made with my barb and my goblin a while back:

Understood. I'll have to add armored undies to address this weakness.

I didn't expect this game to be so bloody!

And yeah you're right, making the dashes really big would be an option to tone down the precision and difficulty, but i think I'd like to try and other alternatives while keeping this as a backup

need to dodge and what direction to dodge in to get it work. And that aspect needs to be better communicated by me to the player so they aren't left fumbling in the dark.

So that's an aspect that I actually don't have to worry about. In its current interstation, if the enemies sword overlaps with your body it counts as a hit. So when you dodge you can actually see that the sword missed you, and that part feels pretty good. The problem is figuring out when you-

amount of time testing different dodges and timing. So I would say when I return to the barb I will have to spend some time really thinking about how to make things clearer and more easy to intuit for the player. In the current set up it could very easily leave people really frustrated.

Well, hmm. I think the biggest issue with the barb was that I was trying to be too special. I was doing too much and trying to break the mold with stuff like no i-frames and directional dodging, and it made the rules of combat too unwieldy. Like to hard to figure out unless to spend an ungodly-

True, but in his case he was drippified after the raising.

Looks solid to me! The only thing that I could even imagine improving upon is making that gummy wall look more part of the environment, but I'm sure that's on the way.

Wow you must move really quick then, either you while playing it or your character. Personally putting levels together is my greatest adversary, so I find what you've made here very impressive.

Wait wait, this is ONE level? It looks absolutely ginormous

Yeah that sounds like a pretty good foundational idea. But as a game progresses and the player gets better at doing the right thing, to keep pushing em making the timing more precise can be a good addition.

I looked that up and I love the aesthetic! It actually gives me more ideas for visuals, so thank you for the reference!

For sure! I generally have a hard time sticking with one thing long term cause im constantly getting excited about doing different things. So I get what you mean about switching stuff around. And that's a nice setting, seems fairly novel to exist in an era of recovery, I like that!

Oh my bad I scrolled back to your first message, and you already said you were only experimenting

That's interesting, I didn't know there were specific size limitations for sprites. But given that rpg maker has a very specific look that makes a lot of sense. And that's awesome! I love fear and hunger! Are you planning on making yours a dark and brutal experience too?

If I can figure it out I want to give him reddish cheeks after too many slides.

I love that the proportions are realistic. I can't think of an rpg maker game where the walking guys weren't in the big head teeny body style.

The green filter one would be my first choice off just gut reaction

Impact on that third attack looks really satisfying!

That's great! My worries that I made him move too much have been quelled, thank you!

Even if you didn't fix it, it would feel pretty normal considering the rest of what's happening in this office.

That's a good point, I didn't even consider the looks of the matchup. I was only focusing on the player's animation and added the skeleton to make the new clip more comparable to the old one.

in idle or walking loops, but I actually don't know how to layer a stagger onto him when he's mid anim montage attack. I've tried a few things in testing but they don't look right. Do you have any ideas? I'm in unreal, by the way.

Oh believe you me, I know all too well that the player barb's punches need an upgrade. I am planning on tackling that in the next couple of days actually. It will definitely have a quicker impact at the end like you suggest. And for the enemy? So I know how to give him stagger anims when he is--
