I added a bunch more buildings to the rîta quarter and the bazar. It is really coming together now.

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?

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

Aha, have you considered making the statues shaped as fish (skeleton), also have them slightly damaged with maybe some seaweeds growing trough cracks to indicate their age and make it feel more lived in.
If you reach it you can make a semitransparent mermaid spirit thing appear. Here's one in OSRS:

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

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

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

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!)

FInaly finished my targeting system and it is quite robust already. It now automatically turns the camera when you select a target as well.

Now the camera can be rotated irregardless of whatever there is a selected target or not. Do you think there still should be an option to lock the camera to the target?
Otherwise when setting a target the camera will rotate towards it but afterwards can be controlled manually?
