>button remapping is finnicky at best
No idea what happened there. It works fine in the editor, and I'm pretty sure it worked in all previous builds.
>I think how to fight properly is not taught well enough.
It'll be explained better once there's an actual tutorial. I probably shouldn't have told players how to block at all at this point, because you can only block enemies with weapons, and blocking isn't very useful against the skeletons due to their range.
>Incorporating mouse movement for attacking is interesting but I don't see the purpose.
Where you hit enemies and with what type of attack matters. Skeletons, for example, take a lot less damage from thrusts than from cuts, and you need to hit the turrets with overhead attacks or your sword will bounce off the metal parts. Overhead attacks also do more damage, but can only be chained into a thrust, whereas left and right attacks can be chained into each other.
>I think health bars & damage numbers would help a lot. Especially the latter just to show how much more effective charged attacks are compared to uncharged ones.
I might add some way to see (very) roughly how much health an enemy has left, but giving the player too much information would go against the intended tone. It's also not really necessary since all enemies should only take a few hits to kill if you're fighting them correctly and it's easy to compare yourself. Also, the amount of layers on the hit marker shows roughly what percentage of your damage went through to show what weapon/type of attack you should use.
>Finally, I suspect you're using ray/spherecasts to detect if an attack should hit an enemy instead of using attack boxes that mimic the swing & kick--there were a lot of dissatisfying "looks like it should've hit" moments.
You can't have locational damage with overlaps. The reason you felt that the kick wasn't working is because it takes two kicks to stagger those enemies unless they're in the middle of an attack. Did you feel the same way with the sword? If so, why/when?
What did you do to clip through the wall at the end? It doesn't really matter since it's just a BSP placeholder, but I can't do it no matter how much I try.
