Hello everyone I hope you're doing well! Just wanted to provide a smoll status update!

So some great news! I managed to fix the broken Taomon+Krystal animation, I just need to work on some of the simm values and weight paints as well as animate/set-up the bottom Taomon and fix things like her thighs, etc.

Changing the name of this anim to "Boarding Party" and I will be attaching a Game ui to simulate a "Game Over" scene for this one as well~

I attached a small 1 sec preview of a render test I did just to ensure baking and rendering wouldn't break my animation like they previously did, so it looks like we're good to continue!

Now for the game update!

I attached a small video showcasing some of the recent changes that I will list below. For those unaware, I restarted Project Rori one last time and decided to switch to 3d assets (aside from characters) to help speed up the process of world building and the speed at which I can prototype working levels. I have been actively working on the game a lot more now as the workflow is much much better!

Below were just some of the changes I made today alone:

- Consolidated animation methodology to process instead of physics_process and added physic handlers like player and enemy movement methods to _physics process (sped up the inputs and physics handling of the game by a solid amount)

- added parallax scrolling to BG assets and script to maintain it's scrolling effect without issue since Godot doesn't currently have parallax3d nodes

- Implemented simple VFX particles using GPUParticles3D nodes which to my CURRENT understanding loads them off GPU to help maintain solid FPS levels? (still studying up on it)

- Implemented double jump method systems based off simple integers which means once I introduce upgrade items adding a double jump is as easy as modifying a single variable for Rori/Player from 0 > 1

- Modified Falling state requirements to something more simple: i.e "if velocity.y < -0.5:" to allow for a slight delay before automatically placing the player from the Jump State to the Falling State, primarily to stop jittery animations when spamming jump like you're Fox on Final Destination lol

- Modified Camera to blur foreground objects for world building.

Up next is adding a health system which leads to you know what, so stay tuned we're getting close!
