Steam Simfest - Livestream
Alexander Dynis work in progress - first tests
Programming the footwork of this character is quite a challenge for a combat gameplay animator. I also just implemented first, basic, in-place attacks and a set of guards, so I can now actually test this guy in combat.
Next - we'll be recording some proper direction-based attacks and special moves, instructed by Da'Mon Stith, an expert on Historical African Martial Arts (HAMA).
Update v. 2022.03.24.0 (Char Select Menu)
- New character select menu
(This change had to be made because the previous character selection concept was not optimized for more than 10 originally planned fighters; the new version, in near future, will allow customization in character select menu; the graphics are temporary)
- Menu navigation audio (content is not the final version, wip)
TWEAK:
- Further tweaks of the blade collision system
- Weapon inertia tweaks (all characters)
- Kalkstein: can now deal damage through the weak part of the opponent's blade
- Kalkstein: sword tip range tweaks
- Marie: sword tip range tweaks

Hellish Quart pre-alpha v. 2022.03.09.0
- Further tweaks of the blade collision system

FIX:

- Snow Hut arena: postprocessing tweaks
- Marie: small thrust hit animations tweaks

- Blade Push (RT button) has priority over Close Attacks (punches, kicks, etc.) if they hit simultaneously
- Grabs have priority over Blade Push and Close Attacks if they hit simultaneously
- Grab and Blade Push have active frames now, instead of a single distance and angle check at the moment of pressing the button
- Isabella: Combo "Fwd, 1, 2" has now near-far blending
- Laszlo: Fixed wrong guard response on the second attack of "Fwd, 3, 4" combo
- Fixed a bug where "Down, Back, 2" attacks worked as "Down, hold Back, 2" attacks. They now work normally.
NEW:
- Procedural Feet Stabilization - due to large amount of polish needed, this will, for now, remain optional; off by default, you can turn it on in Gameplay Options
Hellish Quart pre-alpha v. 2022.03.04.0
- Procedural feet stabilization tweaks
Hellish Quart pre-alpha v. 2022.03.03.0

TWEAK:
- Further tweaks of collision and physics simulation system
- Further tweaks on weapon inertia

FIX:
- In case of a double hit, a victory animation can now be interrupted by a hit animation, and not only by death animation. If the character survives, the "wounded victory" animation will play

- Fixed bug when characters would sometimes not turn on root motion back on after being grabbed
- Gedeon: fixed bug where followup attacks in a combo string often did not detect impacts
