Finally happy (for now) with the visual direction of the first “biome” in my knight game!
Been working on art aesthetic for a while — time to get back to mechanics and implement some enemies to fight ⚔️

Been hard at work creating grass and designing the environmental aesthetic for my game! I'm really digging how lush it looks.

Starting to build out the environment and experiment with the visual language for the game.
Next up will be texturing the terrain and adding grass & foliage 🌱

Early prototype of my first mini boss fight.
Can you guess what kind of creature will replace the placeholder sphere? 👀

Modeled some simple level geometry for my scene blockout. First time my game kinda looks like a game!

Blocking out some level ideas. It's fun to greybox in-engine with simple cubes because you can immediately run around the level and see how it feels, get a sense of scale, etc
Any tips about level design and environment art for me?

Target lock strafing 👀
This was surprisingly complicated to get working. The direction of joystick input combines with the direction the model is pointing to determine which animation to play.
Now I need to blend it all together nicely...

@heytibo.bsky.social Any tips for a strafe / side walk cycle? This is early progress but I'm struggling

Chained attacks and slash trails!
Everything is still a bit janky but building it up bit by bit. Will come back for polish later.

Target system! Loosely inspired by Tunic. It's modular, the camera dynamically frames the player and the target, and you can manually cycle through targets based on X screen space.
Now I need to make character animations for when you're locked on!

Health bars, screen shake, and a hurt animation! Crude core game loop coming together.

Got some basic impact feedback implemented — some shader effects, sounds, and knockback.
Soon will add a damage animation, screen shake, and a UI overlay!

Implemented super basic combat!
There’s still no visual/audio feedback on impact and the “enemy” behavior is super primitive, but it’s a start!
