You animate super fast. And super good.

[vivavolt]

These animations are fantastic.

I have a game related question which I may have missed the answer to (if so, sorry for not reading well enough). Will there be single player gameplay too?

[barneycumming]

hey vivavolt- we're still figuring out what features will be in the initial release- we are considering releasing something with minimum features to see if people like it, and if they do then adding more.

So online multiplayer, a singleplayer mode and a few other modes are things we're looking into... i don't think it would be good to release on PC without either singleplayer or online multi- it needs something where you can play by yourself to see if you like it before you will bother to get people to play local.

So the competitive local multiplayer mode is the primary focus but there are a lot of things we will try once we get that done- i mean by then we'll already have made 90% of the assets and mechanics to support most formats of dungeoncrawler type game, it would seem wasteful not to milk them for all the good gameplay experiences we can get!

LOLLYG4G!

hehe yeah i think the 4 player aspect in the title somehow would save any confusion

i did a combo anim for throwing knives last night too


that's pretty much the last of the combos for the weapons i've made so far... tho i want to try a handful that play a little more uniquely- like really heavy axes/swords/hammers that have like a 2-move combo to do each strike- one to lift it then a second to strike... a handful more unique ideas too

Cool art. Following your devlog! 

[Purcy]

The art and animations are so beautiful. I'd love for some tips if you ever get the chance and when a playable demo is released for this I'd like to know
