Thanks so much for your feedback! That means a lot!

This looks awesome, I love the animation (and the smoke particles to indicate the movement!)

Huge recommendation on Landmarks - if you haven't played it and you like word association like Codenames it's a very fun take!

HI CHRIS! (and everyone)

I'm Colton, and I've been working daily to get ready for an upcoming playtest.

I have to do performance optimizations, and it's not QUITE as interesting as adding new stuff...🐛🧐

I'm really satisfied with the animations for it's attacks, it was a lot of fun making this!

Shoutout to my partner for the idea for the boss!

There's some skill involved with this boss, where any ability that can block projectiles sends back their vines!

Functioning similarly to the class, we map the weapons to integer values and assign them in an array.

So steam sees this as the 'details' in their leaderboard entry:
[3, 5, 7, 0, 0, ...]
and we map these values to meaning on the front end:
3 = 'Warrior'
5 = 'Axe'
etc.

What upgrades does it offer?

1. Increased Damage
2. Increased Size
3. Adding in a Pulse effect (RARE)
4. Adding in a DoT effect (RARE)
5. Doubling the damage and increasing the pulse rate! (LEGENDARY)

2:
In my navigation component, I have a timer per enemy to make a navigation call to determine the optimal path to the player.

I've tried A LOT of different navigation performance optimizations, but what I have now is just increasing the wait time based on distance - father = longer time to call.

Specifically, for 1:

Take the below worm scene for example and compare it against the crawler.

I've begun taking steps to reduce the number of components my merging the drops together - it reduces readability but will save on instancing 3 nodes per scene per enemy (imagine 300 enemies).
