Platformer Prototype

Finishing up work on the main character animations, for now at least. On my blog

Combat Balancing & Minor Fixing

My spamming attack X/▢ did way too much damage so to balance this I created new attack types:
1. Basic: X/▢ "Primary"
2. Strong: Y/△ "Secondary" & Air X/▢
3. Stronger + Stun: Air Y/△
4. Critical Strike (damage 5x+)

I also changed the secondary attack to a thrust stab because the previous felt really clumsy. I might slow down the movement during this attack because it's pretty fast and high damage, but that's in the future.

Day's Work

• Combat
  • 4 damage stages
    1. Basic
    2. Strong
    3. Strong + Stun
    4. Critical Strike (damage 5x+)
  • Different secondary attack
  • Health bar working
    • 50hp marker (not scripted have to add the markers by hand because time)
  • Awareness meter working when inspecting
• Ledge Jump
  • Fixed kinda
  • Still ground check bug when landing but I have to move on
