Hey there! How's your weekend coming along? I'm back with a small update on Code Ordinal Rise!
In the previous update, I added the Slime and showed how it bounces and chases you. To be honest, it is really interesting and fun to add behavior to monsters! And since the Slime bounces, I gave it the ability to bounce over short walls if doing so will allow it to reach you faster.
And when it attacks you, you will now see a simple animation on your health bar (bottom left) to indicate how much damage you have taken.
It is also possible for monsters (in this situation the Slime) to attack you from behind. And that is why I have also made it such that you'll know which direction you are under attack from!
I have considered adding a knock-back effect when you get hit by a monster. However, doing so would make the Slime rather powerful for a starting monster. So I will be reserving that for a future monster with the ability to do so.
And that's it for today's short update! Hope you liked it!
