Action Based Combat

[deWiTTERS]

So I’m currently implementing combat. Basically that the hero can swing a sword and hit enemies. Each enemy will have it’s own attack.

I will post my progress here. If you have any suggestions, ideas or remarks, please let me know!

I found a nice video on how the enemies in Hyper Light Drifter behave, so I’m more or less going to base my gameplay on this

As you can see enemies always have some predictable attack, where they first prepare for the attack, and then do it. This gives the hero a chance to react. I think this is needed to make the gameplay fun.

Once I have something available I will make a release and let you know, to get some early feedback.
