In the end, we submited a pared down version where the player is able to go around and kill enemies, and you get points from combos.
However, I want to keep working on this and implement the last few features we didn't have time to. After the jam ends, I'll post a link to the project.

Here's some footage with the env @suitntie22.bsky.social made. He was having issues implementing the PlayArea I made so I tried went into a heavy bugfixing phase. I fixed that collider bug and tried messing with enemy spawning. But in the end it just wasn't enough time and we had to cut a lot

At this point, game-feel AND player interactions were lacking, but I only had time for 1. Once again, @suitntie22.bsky.social to the rescue. Since he already had all these dope animations, I opted to work on expanding the player's kit with combo attacks, a finisher and a burst.

Next up, I figured we needed an area where combat could happen, so I made this 'PlayArea' prefab that locked the player in an area to combat enemies.
This is where I could finally see the vision, but we were dealing with some crazy bugs! Characters' colliders weren't working as intended!

After that, I put in a game manager and UI systems. I was lucky that @suitntie22.bsky.social is such a freakin dope artist, cuz this UI sucked and he ended up making something that's honestly one of my favorite elements of this project. Good UI goes a long way!!

This is as close to a postmortem as this project gets. Sorry about the music, I was listening to the Trappin in Japan playlist while workin on this - look it up!
Every project I do starts with making the player and enemy characters, and I was able to hack something together in a few hours

I bought Magica Cloth package from the Unity asset store like 2 years ago, but never used it. After checkin out a YT short for Abyss x Zero by @tianipixel.bsky.social and seeing her use it, I gave it a shot and love the results. Textures are temporary. Go wishlist ABYSS X ZERO

So my map screen is working. I'm kinda taking a bit of inspiration from old school JRPGs, in that there's a chance to go into combat when traversing from location to location, not unlike a random battle chance. I'm making a town next, complete with a shop!

Also, remember when I was suffering from sleep deprivation a few nights ago (every night ever) and I had the excellent idea that you should burn one to regain health?
Kinda Souls-y since you gotta stop to light the blick (obv) but the logic is in and I like it.

Speakin of prog, this is what I've been doing. Keeping the scope small, I implemented a quick and dirty item pickup system.
Jk its actually generic and modular enough to fit all my needs, who do I look like! So...scratch that off the list

Not the most exciting start, but here's how the testing's been going. And this basic loop works all-the-way through, so I'm gonna make a map screen to go through levels and go into producing a horizontal slice.

Since my enemies were gettin an upgrade to their defenses, I figured my PCs needed something, as well.
Now there's a state for blocking and parrying. Parries functionality ain't 100% in there yet, but blocked works and is a great addition to dodges.

Ok, honestly, everyone thought the NPCs were boring as hell to fight, so along with Saturday's combo update I gave these assholes the ability to block attacks, with a chance to counter. Next up, evasion, and then figuring out why my projectiles disappear randomly...

I'm late for #ScreenshotSaturday but I've been taking the feedback from my play tests - particularly how boring the enemies are - and trying to make them more aggressive, so now they can chain attacks together into combos! Next up is improving their defenses

Still, I made some great progress! The Wolf entity is far enough it can be used as a regular NPC in the world, and as a summonable minion. I've also been updating NPC states to more consistently give the desired behavior, so the project feels tighter overall.

So I'm playing around with Unity's Cinemachine package and diving into dollies. I want to use it for a camera transition when the player wants to use a card, but I think I went a bit overboard, haha...
This package is super dope, though!

Naw, it ain't been too hard. Shop's almost completely functional, just gotta add in the exchange of currency.
Prototype, placeholder UI, but it's readin well and the sprint's been real productive.
