hi chierit. sorry i wasnt very active on itch.io or the game development scene in general. now i come back and see this SUPER lovely samurai.

i love it. its awesome. i dont know why but i reaaaally love the portrait that you made for the samurai. i think its the best one so far.

i have only one critique point.. as far as i see it, you used the exact same colors for the lightning effects than the ones you used for the base sword swing effects. i think there should be more contrast to actually SEE that it IS lightning. does that make sense to you?

i hope you understand what i mean. for example the special attack doesnt look like lightning at all. because of that the samurai kinda reminds me of the grey knight of castle crashers (who holds no elemental magic)

oh and btw, will you open patreon again? you seem to be very active lately.

Patreon is not on my options for now. I once felt obligated to produce something for my patrons, so the pressure took a toll on my creativity. I like this set.up better, where I'm free to do things on my own schedule. I hope you understand. That also means your Elementals mug is one of a kind in this world, man. 😁

Hey Marc, how are you? The sp atk is actually just a sword skill. This is one of those characters that are powerful enough on their own and doesn't rely too much on the elements during their human form, like the wind hashashin, his sp atk is just sword slashes with a slight wind speed buff.. 3_atk of metal as well. They are mostly warriors, not mages. :D

understandable. I respect that 😁 (both your decision with patreon AND the lightning) in the end it is up to us, the people that use your assets, to make with it whatever we want. I could give the lightning parts some blue glowing for example.

That would be awesome! :D
