Hello, everyone! Here’s the latest update on HOV, my adult action-adventure game blending side-scroller and RTS gameplay:
Melee Combat System
I’ve started implementing the melee combat system, which will feature a variety of attack states, including:
- Regular Attacks
- Backward Attacks
- Air Attacks
- Falling Attacks
- Counter Attacks
- Special Attacks
While the system’s structure is still in progress, I’ve shared a video showcasing the backward attacks. This feature allows players to strike when surrounded by enemies, adding a strategic layer to the combat.
Gamepad Support
The side-scroller mode is now fully gamepad-supported! I’m thrilled with how responsive the controls feel and the feedback I’ve received so far has been great.
Next Steps
This week, I’ll focus on implementing the other attack states. Once the combat system is polished, I’ll begin integrating the AI to create engaging and challenging encounters.
Feedback
Your feedback is invaluable as I refine HOV. Please feel free to share your thoughts or suggestions—I’d love to hear from you!
Thank you for following along on this journey!
