added in a "Pressure" mechanic to combat: attacks on an enemy will increase a gauge that, when full, adds a Pressure Point to them, storing up to 3. certain abilities can "Exploit" one or more Pressure Points for additional effects

spent today setting up a basic elevator prefab, including adjusting the rain effect so it'd work on a moving platform. also did some work to try and create a more interesting layered soundscape, so let me know what you think!

mostly spent the last week taking a break, but i wanted to get something done before monday, so here's my first go at a basic talent/specialization system! still a WIP, especially visually, but it's a solid foundation to build off

did some more work on combat UI/VFX to add more visual feedback to actions like button presses and damaging hits. first real attempt at a slash effect turned out pretty good, but i think i'd like to stylize it a bit more

worked on implementing a bonfire/checkpoint system! i've always liked campfire scenes in RPGs, so i spent some extra time on it so that you can see your party lounging around while in the menu

sorry for going quiet for a bit! spent a few days working on creating a new base rig + model for my humanoid characters. i decided i needed an update both for making animations and to fit my growing comfort with 3D
here's Vae's new model to start!

happy friday! for a change of pace, i spent today working on a new enemy model: the spellcasting Magimoppet. i tried to incorporate stronger inner lines on the texture to give it more of a hand-drawn feeling

i added a simple projectile mechanic to the overworld! this can be used for destroying objects and interacting with elements like switches; should add a bit more interactivity to exploring and puzzle solving

first try at fake volumetric fog! still not completely happy with the ground layer, but i think it still adds some good atmosphere

Étoile's unique character mechanic is "Notes": her abilities generate one of 3 types of notes, storing up to 3 at once
using the "Finale" command will perform a special finisher based on the combination of notes she has stored at the time
