Hello team!
As mentioned in an earlier update we have a few new members on the team so we’re aiming to get more regular news out to you. After you’re done reeling from that brutal Season 3 of the show we hope you turn to Grimm Eclipse to get your RWBY fix. We’re calling this next update ‘Update #3’. Let’s get into it!
Camera Improvements
Ever find yourself battling the camera? Or maybe you aren’t super comfortable with using the right stick (remember, we recommend a controller when slaying Grimm). We’ve totally overhauled the camera system. We pulled a lot of inspiration from some of our favorite Beat em’ ups like Shadow of Mordor and the latest Batman games. What does that mean? Well, let’s let the gifs do the talking.
Explore Camera
While no enemies are near, relax and enjoy the scenery. The camera pulls in for a more detailed view of the characters.
Battle Camera
When enemies approach, a huntress needs a wider field of view, so the camera will flow up and out so you can keep an eye on your teammates.
There are a few more quality of life improvements that were added in. We’ll touch on those another time, but after several playtests, responses are very positive.
Combat Improvements
To be clear, these are in development and await more thorough testing. This is the core of Grimm Eclipse, so we want to be smart about how we go about altering combat’s feel. That being said, some of the following might not make it to the final game.
Heavy Attacks
Let’s spice things up with heavy attacks. Oh the combo potential…
What if you had a stronger ranged combo? Hmm… Well, it might look a little like this.
Counter and Stun
Check out this stunning counter. It’s just… stunning.
The goal of Update #3 is to improve the core experience of RWBY: Grimm Eclipse. You can expect to get your hands on these juicy improvements the second week of March. After this, we’ll start spilling the new content beans. What?! There’s gonna be new content? Does an Ursa poo in Forever Fall? (Yes. Yes it does.) Speaking of Forever Fall, here's a gif that's simply smashing.
Happy Hunting,
Rooster Teeth Games
