I improved the game's skilltree!
In Vindica's world, hematokinesis is the art of controling one's blood. To tap into this strength, you will have to sacrifice health by redirecting your blood flow into powerful hematokinetic abilities, ranging from key abilities to useful skills and upgrades.

I cleaned the new axe swings animations, and while i was at it, also improved the 2 axe swings i already got (and their charged variants), cause they weren't as cool as the new ones.
Still, recency bias or not, my favorite is the swing up anim, with the downward pogo close second!

Btw for a 2D game with no skeletal animation I think you should manage your animator transitions in code. The nightmarish mess of transitions would have made me crazy before I got the new attacks working if I didn't reworked Vindica's animator in that way, here is the before & after:

The game got directional attacks and a pogo downward swing now!
A bit reminiscent of Hollow Knight but I like it a lot! I aimed for a different feel for the attacks at the start with a swing charge system that can be chained with a whirl attack, but after many iterations I ended up somewhat close!

I've finally found a workflow that I like with enemy AIs so I'm working on combat again!
What do you think?
Can't wait to animate more stuff and try the implement the first boss fight using the new tools I did!

Enemy reveal: the Cablecrabs! 🦀
These little crabs are electrician worker robots who repair cables in factories, but beware of electric shock if you find yourself in their path!! ⚡️
Also our revolutionary heroine can now blink and I reworked the sawmill music with an infiltration vibe!

Game visuals have improved so much since last year, here have a look at the Sawmill, one of the first factories to sabotage in Vindica Secrets of Blood, that I want to feature in a demo this year!
I'm very proud of this elevator btw 😌

I've been redesigning the main character lately (100 frames to redo was soooo long ;o;) and I'm working on the sawmill, one of the first areas of the game that I want to make a little demo of this year!

Gosh it took me exactly 1011 days to get there but I finally nailed the art direction of my game, here is a in-game screenshot as well as the prep mock-up I did showing some character designs as well and Vindica not getting it's time to lock in

I'm learning Godot.
The editor has some good stuff (like for creating frame animations) but on the programmation side I'm absolutely having a bad time, like you can't event just rename a GDScript variable properly like in C#??

So, with this untrustful nightmare that #unity is becoming for devs, I'm hesitating between porting my game to Godot or to a custom engine I would create.
I already have a little something to begin with, but it's no simple task, literally a life changing decision for years to come...
