Most of those designs will not make the cut so I might as well put them here as I make each one.
Arbitrary goal is 7 enemies.

Positioning Gaming.

bro...

Now there's Isabel too.

Thank you! Those chunky proportions in the earlier figures are definitely Spikeout lol

Oh the colors look super nice though! is it greyscale/gradient to color or was it color from the start?

There were still some 3D games with positioning like older Monster Hunter and Armored Core games but with time they've all made turning faster, tracking on enemies more common and put more emphasis on invulnerabity/burst movement to deal with attacks.

Because of this there is no longer the concept of "positioning" in a 1v1 encounter, there is only "spacing". Until the enemy gets locked in an animation that prevents rotation there are no safe spots, only safe distances.

Hi, have you ever found those Spikeout camera patents? I've actually been curious how it works in that game.
