"Weekly" devlog of 4/21-4/28 and 4/28-5/5

Sorry for missing last week! I was a little sick during last week unfortunately.

That means I have double the things to document for this week!

Lets start with some large updates and changes;

• Implemented 2 more sword animations.
• Successfully made sword animations combo into each other (with indication of when to click).
• added better hitboxes for all swords, and a "tipper" hitbox to one of the attacks.

This week I added a ton of effects to increase the "juice" of certain actions, and increase the feedback of the player controller;

• Added a smoke effect when the player accelerates (and screen shake).
• Added some dust when the player steps (while running).
• Added an indication for when player uses double jump (and more screen shake).
• Made some frames of running animation display for longer than others to feel more realistic.
• Added some red particles when an enemy is hit.
• Time gets slowed when an enemy is hit (the system was changed).
• Added text that displays when an enemy or the player takes damage.
• Re-made sparks animation that plays whenever sword hits anything.
• Added smoother camera zoom when the player enters/exits an elevator

Lastly just a couple of features to make the game a little more accessible;

• Re-did control map so the game is playable with one hand if desired
• Made the settings for volume function properly

That's all for this week! Sorry about last week, I still plan to release these weekly!
