October 25th Weekly Update (Patreon)

This update will be a bit brief.  Some of the work I did, I want to be a surprise, so I don't want to detail it.  A lot of the other work was investigative stuff, that isn't super exciting.

What I will show is the Summon Storm spell, but more fleshed out with animations and FX.  I'm trying to make some of the spell casting look a bit more exciting.  To that end I'm trying out a few different things.  Since this spell is slow to cast anyway, I thought it was a fair spell to try a second camera that is lower to the ground to capture the initial casting.

It'll probably take a few iterations to make it look as cool as I'd really like, but I think its solid as it is at the moment.

Of course this isn't appropriate for every spell, these animations take a lot of time.  I would none the less like the make the magic feel more awesome to use, so I'll continue to tinker with extra effects and such.

If you can think of a way to make the cast look better, please let me know!
