I get it, maybe in a different way but I do. To me its the notion of a larger breathing world. That beyond this adventure there is more, that this isn't just it, and thats comforting

Haha yeah I don't think there are any designs that you couldn't find something and draw a comparison to! I look forward to seeing what you end up picking

I've been busy lately on a TEAM of people making something, which is why my personal silly stuff has kinda unfortunate taken a back seat. Managing time is hard! I look forward to showing off more of what ive been doing, and i'll be able to soon! Until then here's a non-NDA anim

Sometimes I feel like the best way to be to silently finish a game and then start marketing it after its done lol

I've been doing a bunch of boring blocking for a level, and I don't know if anyone wants to see that, so here's a nun with a messed up stagger animation

I don't think any sane minded individual would be upset if you chose to roll with simple mitten hands. If you wanna get really silly you could chose to lean into it and actually give them all cute mittens

I got inspired to do some 2d animation stuff and I'd like this to be the starting point. It's probably gonna be too much for me to do a lot with but I wanna see what happens

So the momentum mechanic, even on a stationary target was kinda tricky to get the timing for, cause when you swing depends on your speed. Which is EVEN TRICKIER if the enemy was actually moving around. So idk how useful this will be but it feels good to have!

Working on conceptualizing some early combat. I want it to be premeditated and cumbersome. Like the key to combat is in the angle and distance to enemy when you pull out your weapon, cause when your weapon's out obviously you cant re-angle your chair

Triceratops are well known to be weak to certain wrestling moves.
I'm not actually fully happy with how this looks, but its a good starting place!

Been working on directional responses to attacks, like this is Terry getting hit by a sweep from different angles.

Thanks! My brother tells me I'm making the stupidest thing he's ever seen, which only encourages me to try and make stupider and more horrible designs

Though it doesn't look that impressive, it was a significant challenge for me to figure out how to make him run away after you get too close. But now he's pretty close to a complete enemy!
