Since the Vertical Slice milestone was approaching quickly, I continued to work on set dressing and bringing in all the new cool assets Beau was working on. I reshuffled the entire set based on a new design Julien turned over and changed the way the ground geometry is created. Also, new collision objects were made and I scattered grass, reeds and bushes around.

This week I focused on bug fixing and implementing of animations for the vertical slice. The action system for the two characters is also redone to allow more interactions between characters and props.

It was a bit of a messy week with lots of technical issues, but some texturing happened and I added a quick photogrammetry workflow to my tool belt. Also I started on storyboarding the intro animation, did a design pass on the start menu, worked on the menu fonts and researched what kind of visual material we need for a steam and itch.io release!

This week was mostly focusing on finalizing assets or changing them to fit with the overall design better.

We have been working hard getting the list of animation cycles done and where needed, tweaked the cycles to flow better between states. Since we've been aiming for the vertical slice, the target for animation was to get as much in there available for Julien to implement into Godot.

This week we continued with the core animation and also started to do some COOP animations between the characters

Finished a lot of updates for the various character and prop rigs.
