\"Is<\/a>
Yes, she can blink and breathe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This weekend I just wanted to share some of the work I’ve been doing with Arashi’s animations.\u00a0 To the left, you can see her facing down (I finished her idle poses for all 4 facing directions), and she is mid breath and blinking.\u00a0 These two animations are actually separated and unpredictable, like a real human would have.\u00a0 I haven’t programmed it yet, but after attacking I want her to breathe a little faster for a few seconds while she calms down, and gradually resume her relaxed stance.\u00a0 It won’t take much effort on my end to add that.<\/p>\n

Also, much more excitingly, I finally started animating her attacks.\u00a0 It’s a lot of work to animate frame by frame, but I think the result is going to be worth it.\u00a0 For now, the bokuto (her beginning weapon) is still using the old test animations, but after I finish the frames I’ll reanimate the bokuto for its final form and of course to match her hand motions.\u00a0 I will also be making it stay readied in combat areas, instead of it appearing out of nowhere when she attacks.<\/div>\n
I know these posts aren’t very exciting for the casual observer, but for me procrastinating about… 6 years to make this game, every little bit is a huge motivational boost.\u00a0 See you next update \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
