No screenshot to show for this, but the next update will include an arcade mode for players of the beta test. It will not be available in the demo yet but hopefully it will be soon

Mipmapping will be added in the next Blades update. Essentially this makes UI elements smoother and less jagged and should make text way easier to read.

There are now indicators for directional specials that show how to perform them. The burst indicator is also incorporated into this UI.

Updated in-game UI planned for an update this Thursday (May 15th) Meter looks a little nicer, and characters now have icons letting you know their special move inputs as well as whether their burst is ready or not.

New menu update. Still gotta work on the stage select and movelist a bit, but it's coming along nicely and looks super clean.

Finally got a good idea of what I want the world of Blades of Crossed Hearts to look / feel like, and I finally got a proper workflow for making new stages. Hoping I can add more soon and really start to flesh out the world. Here's a WIP

Just updated the library capsule for Blades of Crossed Hearts. The picture is drawn by a friend of mine (spadeinthedirt), and I genuinely think it's the coolest looking capsule here. Though I must admit Devil May Cry 5 gives it a run for its money.

On a more serious note: there are some pretty big updates recently. Speed of attacks is down to give hits a heavier feel, and Cyanide's teleport ability has had a few changes to make it feel better.

I have removed one frame from the start of Cyanide's idle animation. This will undoubtable be the most divisive change I will ever make to the game. I extend my gratitude to the affected families.
