Hey all! We've been working on weaponskills this week, so I thought I would share with you one of our new visual effects!
This is the (still somewhat in-progress) effect for the Sword Wave skill, a reliable ranged attack for the normally close-range Sword weapon. We're working on improving our VFX skills, and while it still has a way to go this is one of the first effects done with some new techniques we've been learning.
Using tools like Unity's VFX Graph has been great for certain types of effects, such as the variety of Lumimancer spells and class skills like Knight's Elemental Discharge, but our physical/melee type attacks have been lacking for a while. Hopefully, the work we're putting in now should allow us to close the gap between spells and our melee skills. If all goes well, we'll have even cooler things to show off in this area as we continue improving, so stay tuned!
