Added custom hitboxes for the sword (other weapons soon) and a bunch of combat tweaks to give it some more Oomph! Combat is feeling much better now!

After completely rebuilding the player logic and sprites/animations we're back to where we were with being able to block/attack/get hurt/die/respawn! Next up, pixel perfect weapon colliders!

60+ animations later! Wow, won't admit how long that took, did I finish hooking them all up? Nope. Am I alright with that, yes. 😅 They're all in there and ready to be implemented! Progress!

Gear randomizer! Randomize the appearance now to test all the gear/clothing. Works! Will be handy with finding gear now and easily equipping it from an inventory. Progress!

Woo!

🛡️ Shields up! Negates all damage, directional based blocking, some goblin chase and 'blocked hit' reactions, other patrol nuances. Player death/respawn. Next up: Hurt/Death animations!

When Goblins attack! These little dudes are actually pretty dangerous and fast. 😅 👺

Next up, Death animations and Blocking!

New Goblin enemy! Get him patrolling around tomorrow.

Some days are just hours of animating sprites, but that's just a day in the life of a 2d game dev! 😅

Got the armor and animations working together now! When sprite stacking with different sprite sheets that was a bit tricky, but success! Oh and we can hit stuff now. Enemy time!

Wooo, not going to lie, getting this blocking and attacking was a lot more than I bargained for tonight! 😭 But it's done! Now that the foundation is there just have to get an enemy to hit!

Zoom implementation and into the dense forest to test transparency and player visibility.

TLDR; Area2D to Area2D not Area2D to StaticBody2D.

Embarrassing amount of time fixing movement, stopping move jitters, mouse follow, and way tooo much time trying to get objects to fade when player goes behind.

Thanks PVGames for the assets! These are gorgeous old school RPG style and I'm super excited to test them out. I've got my Player moving how I want, time for level design! www.pioneervalleygames.com/index.html
