January 28th Weekly Update (Patreon)

This week, I put together animations for and finalized how the hold button attack, and air attacks work in game.

When you have a melee weapon, you can hold the button to do a charge attack, like Link's spin attack.  You can also press attack in the air to do a drop attack, which may have some added effects depending on the weapon.

Sticking with the fire sword, here are the attacks for that:

Not every weapon will have special effects, or be as fancy as these attacks are.  Some might be simple swipes.  In this case, because it is a magic weapon, I though I'd give it some magic effects.

I also put together animations for the dodge ability.  I'm not 100% happy with them, but I am happy with how the dodge works.  I can adjust the animations later!

Next up, the actual spell casting and interaction stuff!
