New this week This week I created 2 more animations and implemented the animations created from last week. Alongside this I made some appropriate particles effects and balanced some of the damage values. New Animations The new animations added were a phase 2 attack and a phase 2 transition. The phase 2 attack involves taking…

New this week I missed last week’s dev log because the illness got worse. Because of that I haven’t spent much time working on the project. However, crucially I have solved (mostly) my root motion problems. Root motion solution My state machine system now supports swapping in and out of root motion per state. This…
