Pew pew pew! - Playblast (Patreon)

Finally getting to the action! Here's a first look at some generic attacks, as well as a grab that the player managed to dodge just in time! Looks like the blaster isn't doing any damage on Zoe, so the player will likely have to find other methods of winning this battle, oh well!

Note that the animation where she leans onto the ground is still a bit unpolished. Definitely going to tweak her eye expression once more since it currently looks a bit too angry. There's also some clipping on her chest, which will be worked out later on.

Right now I'm focused on doing all the attack and grab animations of her, once these are done they can practically be reused and the animation progress should be a lot faster. I have to admit I slightly underestimated how long it would take to animate the player movement and make the jumping and running seem like there's proper weight and impact. I think it's looking proper now whatsoever. It's always important to have just enough bobbing to add a sense of weight, as too much will quickly end up making the viewer nauseous.

From here on I'm approaching the nommy bits, so expect a preview on that later this month!
