August 28th Update (Patreon)

Knowing I had to get to it eventually, I spent much of this week learning about particle systems. This was something that I was completely unfamiliar with, but with a little learning time I'm getting the hang of it. Its actually kind of fun, as the animation work it does require tends to be fairly quick.

While I certainly have a TON more to learn, I was able to get a few simpler effects that I wanted completed, and have started on a few more. While I still need to build LOD's for the particle systems i have now, none are too heavy so it should be too much of an issue.

I did also take a moment to make a specific animation for the portal trap spell. You'll have to hold the cast button down until the spell is complete, otherwise it will cancel.

Next week my plans are to do some more particle systems, as well as finish all the animations for the tentacle trap spell.
