I finished the castle, and added a mosque and a building in the bazar. Ofcourse details like windows and doors are missing for now as they will require some custom systems for opening and closing.

I have been working on blocking out the first level. Now the buildings can be made, what better way then with the castle?

Slowly converting the AI logic from behaviour trees to state trees for better transitions and a new sword trail has been added.

The first enemy model is done, the spearman of Botan's Emir. Now he needs a spear.

Do I know anyone who might be interested in creating a #blackmetal track, around 30-60 seconds?

Another fire mechanic I've wanted to add; braziers that spill AoE fire when knocked over.

Needs some more work, but it's functional after just an afternoon of messing about!

Further updated the combat with gamefeel using hitstop, particles and sounds. Only applied to the player charachter for now as the entire enemy needs to be reworked.

The pistol is back and blocking now works. (Bullets/missiles don't do damage though.)

I fixed a lot of bugs for the combat related components, now it feels a lot better, just need to make a lively ai.

I have been reworking a lot of things behind the scenes, so there is not much to show so enjoy this new shamshir guard pose.

When I say Treacherous Journeys will have more trollfolk, this is what I mean.
Thanks @ronamis.bsky.social for the great troll!

Skeleton has been completely reworked and a bunch of animatioms remade. I tried this time to more accurately recreate Shamshir sword fighting.

How my player charachter for my indie game has changed over the course of development.

I completely redid the player charachter again. There is also now a new skeleton, so all animations will be redone as well.

Working on a new material for buildings to create non-repetitive mixture of wall textures.

Unreal's motionwarp plugin only works with rootmotion, so I made my own custom implementation that requires no root motion (and also takes z-axis into account!)
