Move and hit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melee combat is fun to watch in a replay but kinda meh to play. To try to make the combat as fun to play as it is to watch. I’m trying out a new melee move where you move and attack at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melee Reaction for Range Attack<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an effort to balance combat I changed the melee attack reaction to get 20% damage reduction when hit by a ranged attack. It just wasn’t fun to set a melee reaction just to have the enemy back off and use a range attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melee Hit Effect<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are so few animations and sound effects that melee combat just didn’t feel good. I put in a slash effect similar to the explosion when you are hit by the blaster, which is an improvement but I don’t think it will work long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
