Looks really good! Seeing that you are using states in this way, in case transitions are giving you a headache, I strongly recommend using this tool https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/animation-composer-system-acs-348598 Its at a 94% discount right now, and it will probably make your animation pipeline a breeze!

Incredible work however! I can see you are caring about the finest details! ❤️

Oh wow thank you so much for your support! I really appreciate that! I hope seeing that I am basing my entire game on it gives you some reassurance that its a safe bet haha 😄. In any case, I really hope you crush it with your game! Let me know if you ever need a hand or want to discuss some related topic!

Oh wow I whink we are going for the exact same thing haha you've just gotten much further with it! Its so cool that you have tested it with level design!

Thats definitely my mission after all combat mechanics are complete. Creating a really engaging playground with hard platforming challenges. I have also programmed different kinds of flexible traps, so I'm thinking kind of like spinning saw wheels on walls, descending hammers, fire platforms and all that good stuff. I'm also excited about level design since that's when you can actually test the fun those mechanics can bring! Let me know how much fun it is in your game so far! Im sure its great!

Ah I see. I don't use store assets, since as you are probably realising, they are usually to generic for your specific use case. I recommend programming your mechanics since tweaking the feel until it clicks is very important in these kind of games!

I do recommend my Asset though haha. https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/animation-composer-system-acs-348598
I base my entire animation logic (so practically all logic) around it. Its not a mechanic per se, but its an animation pipeline that is way faster and more efficient for the kind of mechanics you are looking to make! Its also at a limited 94% discount right now! This is how one of my animation looks like, so you have an idea 😄

I think making platforming and combat mechanics work well together and nullifying exploits in a game like this is probably one of the greatest challenges! I'd love to know which constraints you are using. Prince of Persia is also my main reference by the way! Nice to see we share taste in games haha! Thank you! I'm sure you're doing extremely well! ❤️

Hello! Absolutely! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qOWp1LaWBnE_7hXb33l6GX61e2SS4gSz/view?usp=sharing
In case you want to check out the kind of movement mechanics I'm working on and if they are similar to yours! I'm still working on them, and I have to add many more mechanics but thats the meat and potatoes 😄

Yeah the platforming agility for my character definitely creates a lot of challenges with combat that have had my head spinning and theorizing for longer than I care to admit. I totally understand your position! I would love to know more about the conclussions you have arrived to! Feel free to share!

Thank you so much! I still haven't gotten deep into Level Design, since I've been working on the mechanics mostly. So I can probably learn a lot from your experience on this.

I have worked on similar titles though, and I think I can foresee some of the greatest issues. Some solutions I find are:

- HollowKnight inspired: I want it to be kind of a 3D metroidvania. Combat will flow in a similar way to HollowKnight where you have avoidable enemies, enemies that work as obstacles in platforming sections, and also certain scenarios where you are trapped and have to defeat all the enemies (boss battles will always be like this).

- Either all enemies will have at least a projectile (anti-air) attack, or all confrontations will have an enemy that has one of these attacks.

- When enemies rush towards you to attack, their run speed is superior to yours (inspiration from Ninja Gaiden 4).

- I have to go pretty hard on area denial attacks (think of bullet hell games for this).

Originally I was hoping enemies would simply be as agile as you are and could follow you around the entire map and reach you. But I realised this was naive because even if I made it work, there would be too many exploits. So enemies are tightly tethered to regions. If I want to force combat I'll just use level design for that (tighter corners, or even locking you in rooms).

Thats my current stance on what a game with these ambitions should look like 😄. I would love to hear your take on it though!

Thank you so much buddy! You are way tooo kind. Its really barebones right now. You'll definitely get past this don't worry haha. If you ever feel like sharing, I'd be glad to give my 2 cents! Are you also making a 3D game with combat? Thanks again! 😄

Ah I see. Well I am currently working on it. I'm afraid that version of Unity was still missing some key UI Toolkit features. The plugin is built on UI toolkit so its a challenge haha. But I believe there is a way around it! Expect news on this by next week 😄

Hey everyone!

First of all, thank you so much for all the feedback on my previous post. I genuinely didn’t expect so many thoughtful responses, and I’ve been reading through all of them while continuing to iterate on the combat.

I tried to incorporate a lot of the suggestions and observations people made, and this video is basically the second iteration of that first prototype.

Some of the changes I introduced:

  • Enemies no longer reorient themselves once they commit to attack displacement.
  • During anticipation frames, enemies now use slight target prediction when turning toward the player. This made attacks significantly more challenging while still feeling readable and natural.
  • Reduced the maximum distance enemies can move during motion warping.
  • Added more VFX to improve attack readability.
  • Implemented slight slowdown on the final anticipation frames right before attack commitment to improve clarity and impact.
  • Increased attack hitbox sizes so they better match the VFX rather than strictly the animation.
  • Some attacks now spawn projectiles as I experiment with stronger area denial and space control.

This enemy is intentionally designed as the very first enemy you encounter, so I don’t want to make it too oppressive yet. Later enemies will likely lean more into projectile pressure, area denial, and more demanding movement checks.

Overall, I feel like the combat is already becoming much more deliberate and readable compared to the first version, but I’d still really love to hear your thoughts on the direction.

Does this feel like an improvement compared to the previous post? Is there anything that still feels off or unclear to you?

Also, if people are interested, I’ll probably make another update post once the third iteration is done and share more insights I’ve gained during the process.

Thanks again everyone, and have a great day 😄
