Special Effects Breakdown! news

Hello everyone!

After a lot of work, Aran got all his special effects implemented! Here's a small breakdown on the major ones:

Getting the right base effect is a big deal, later we can tweak timing and colors.

Now we need some reaction in the world, let's add some smoke.

We get the effect as we want by now, so let's implement it for combat usage.

Alright! Dash effect is done! We can tweak it just a bit to fit all the heroes and add some interaction with terrain surfaces.

Now for the Technics! We will be showcasing the first Special Technic and the Offensive Technic, Parry and Rotate!

For the parry, there's a combination of several elements, slow motion at the right moment, camera shake and special effects at the hero, sword and at the parry moment:

For the rotate, it's almost the same process of the dash. First we find a fitting base effect.

Now that we got it going, let's see in world with a minor secondary effect.

We need to get the center populated as well, so let's add a sword trail.

Alright! Now it seems to be working! Let's see from another angle.

Awesome! I always wanted to do that Zeldo guy rotating special effect!

And of course, let's test with some other enemies... Or at least... Try to...

Alright! We need to fix this new "feature" as soon as possible now!
