Progress Report: Animation Rework

I am proud to announce that I am halfway through all weapon animations. The fact that I am reworking some talents and abilities on the way slightly hinders my progress. I want to show you the new animations for the Obsidian Warhammer, the Staff of Burning Souls, an…

I reworked the way I create animations.

Previously, I took all animation from asset packs from the Assetstore or Mixamo. But it is hard to modify those and adapt them to your own weapons.

Father of War has two stances.

An offensive and defensive stance. You can switch those through the Switch Stance…

Father of War is a tank weapon.

It is a two-handed long sword. You have two basic abilities.

The level is divided into four zones.

The earth zone contains rocks and a plateau. The fire zone is filled with volcanic activity. The dune-themed zone with some oasis in between. The th…

I could not decide whether to release the content directly to the live servers. Then, I discovered a nasty bug on the live systems and decided to take two steps forward.

So, I released the raid to live.

You might remember the old Pit of Elements and Firebound Forge level. 

They got a complete ov…

Firebound Forge gets a new look.

I wanted to emphasize the lava cave look. 

Zorn and Iphrit already made themselves comfortable.

The raid elemental run will contain three stages.

Firebound Forge is the final encounter of this raid.

You start with the fight in the Pit of Elements. This level is …

The Rework of Soul Towers is finished

With new textures, decorations, and enemies.

Say hello to our latest fiend Siphon:

You can get a quick look at the level:

Highlighting is working again.
