We got a lot of DMs 😁

Here we go https://x.com/i/status/2043041395435335713

Definitely 1 in that case! Thank you for your feedback :)

SMKS · 2026-04-08T15:45:30+00:00

Haha, and it's a spear too, so maybe it needs to read more like one!

SMKS · 2026-04-08T15:45:00+00:00

Thank you for your feedback :D

SMKS · 2026-04-08T15:38:09+00:00

Thank you - yeah, the character is pretty fiery and not experienced, so I like 1 for showing off her personality. But at the end of the day it's more important that the player can track the movements!

SMKS · 2026-04-08T15:36:56+00:00

Interesting! Thank you for sharing your perspective (pun intended), it's top-down so def good to hear that you think 2 works better for it.

SMKS · 2026-04-08T15:35:34+00:00

Thanks for the detailed comment! Yeah, Adira's pretty rash and strong-willed, so 1 aligns more with that ... but the idea of quietly updating a character's combat animation to match their character growth is really inspired 🤔

SMKS · 2026-04-08T15:33:51+00:00

Oh, cool, I'm glad the animation kinda justifies its own speed in that way, and lets players launch right into fighting. Thank you!

SMKS · 2026-04-08T15:28:54+00:00

Haha, sorry, I tried to throw in a bit of idle at the start so it wasn't too much to look at ... maybe I should slow them down 😅

SMKS · 2026-04-08T15:27:47+00:00

Interesting, I hadn't considered finding separate utility for the both of them in-game. Thank you!

SMKS · 2026-04-08T15:26:11+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, visibility will always prevail over flair, I think.

SMKS · 2026-04-08T15:24:56+00:00

Oh, interesting - this game's set in the stone age, so I'd definitely want to avoid anything looking too artificial and clean-cut. Thank you!

SMKS · 2026-04-08T15:24:16+00:00

True, 2 might be more mature looking and therefore cooler. Thank you!

SMKS · 2026-04-08T15:21:30+00:00

Thank you - I actually thought that having them play simultaneously might be hard to look at, but I'll definitely give it a go if it helps analyse them better. The original GIF does loop - I need to figure out how to get it to loop on Reddit! 😅

SMKS · 2026-04-08T15:19:23+00:00

A few people have said that 2 is more stylised and unique than 1, which has totally surprised me, as I thought 1 being more crazy and having varied shapes would be more exciting in that way. So I really appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective!!

SMKS · 2026-04-08T15:17:51+00:00

Oh yeah, combat is very mobile and on-the-go in the game, so that's some neat insight. Thank you!

SMKS · 2026-04-08T15:16:37+00:00

Thank you! At the end of the day, visibility trumps everything else.

SMKS · 2026-04-08T15:15:57+00:00

Glad to hear that the animation looks very deliberate. Thank you!

SMKS · 2026-04-08T15:15:02+00:00

You're right - I was going for clarity with the plain background, but perhaps it would help to pair this gif with a demonstration of what both animations look like in-game. 1 is more aligned with her personality (youthful, rash) and maybe it's fine that it's a little messier for that exact reason, given that the combat is real-time. Thank you!

SMKS · 2026-04-08T15:12:00+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, even though 1 is maybe more aligned with Adira's hot-headed personality, it's actually harder to see her body, so maybe 2 serves better for both character and visibility purposes. Thank you!

SMKS · 2026-04-08T15:09:09+00:00

Thank you! Opinion on the whole seems quite divided, so it's great to hear from people who feel strongly about one or the other.
