Hey all! Here's a quick look at the Berserker class, with some work-in-progress attack animations! Of our eight beta classes, Berserker has seen the least amount of dedicated development time, but after our time spent developing VFX like last week's Sword Wave we're now ready to tackle our dual-wielding destroyer.
These are our first drafts for two different styles of basic attack animation, specifically for when wielding dual greatswords. We'll likely make some major adjustments to both the character sprite as well as the weapon designs, but here's where we're starting at for this. Of the two attack styles, we'd love to hear your thoughts on which you think looks better or has more potential!
Our first style features the Berserker slashing through the target once, then slashing back to their starting position. Our second has two consecutive slashes. We're using the same poses and weapon sprites for both while drafting, but depending on which we decide to pursue we'll be able to better adjust the sprites to match the chosen animation. Thanks for tuning in, and I'll see you next week!
