A few other small tweaks and fixes.

After a month of hard work, the new character is finally ready!
This one focuses on defense and counterattacks, and I’ll keep adding more skills later to make sure every character can form fun and unique combos together.
It’s already the fifth character now, and I’ve actually got ideas brewing for the next one.
Right now, I’m figuring out some design challenges — for example, how to make a flamethrower-type weapon feel good in combat. Since it’s a continuous channeled attack, it tends to get interrupted by other skills, so I’m testing ways to make it blend smoothly with the rest of the moveset.
Originally, I wanted to use higher-resolution models with facial and eye animations, but since the camera angle doesn’t really show those details clearly, I decided to skip them for now to keep performance stable.
My next game project is already in my daily dev schedule, and I’ll be using this character’s workflow as a base.
So, stay tuned — there’s a lot more coming!
The office just got a little spookier. This Halloween update adds some festive decor and a special Trick or Treat mission.
Eat the candy... and find out if you get a trick or a treat.
(Spoiler: zombies are involved either way.)
Good luck — and hope you enjoy this Halloween update!
