Enemy blocking progress
- counterattack after few blocked hits
- escapes frontal grab almost immediately
- protects only his front
- slow to turn around

This month, I implemented new image packs "Split by item" and "Split by animation and item" for the Universal LPC Character Generator, and updated my Aseprite LPC import plugin to support them.

I can't think of any drug or poison themed weapons in SW4DX, is there maybe one I forgot and/or haven't unlocked yet?

To lock onto a higher enemy, do you expect to push the analog stick towards E or towards G?
My instinct points to E as most visually intuitive but likely more complex implementation (project onscreen targets onto the screen plane before raycasting to find the target)

This assumes a weapon rest position with the grip at the pivot point, the shaft going right and the edge facing down. (I have the axe's pivot point (40, 64) defined elsewhere)

Each frame's weapon transform can be encoded as 3 pixels.
🟦Grip position
🟥Shaft direction
🟩Edge direction
The great thing is they are still correct with the frame flipped!
(Layer order doesn't matter here as long as your engine can draw individual layers)

🐝Honey Soldier MD🐝 has landed for #SegaGenesis / #Megadrive!
It has been ported via #SGDK as faithfully as reasonably possible, with new scoring secrets (hint in one of the pics) to make up for needed cutbacks. Try it with your favorite emulator or flash cart!
