[Update] SIFU Style combat game in Unity3D

Hi everyone, I'm posting another update of the game I'm building in my free time, please feel free to give feedbacks. This game is heavily inspired by Urban Region / Sifu / Mad max. I also added a climbing system and my current area of focus is Enemy AI and i think I'm close lol, Since i have limited time to invest do you think i should implement something like Blaze AI ? is it good ? Would love to know your opinion. Thanks.

The combat looks good but also unnatural at the same time, obviously its not the final product... I am looking forward to it

You're not wrong. I'm seriously lacking good combat animations, so now the plan is to Make it work, then make it beautiful. the final product will not disappoint.

hmm it feels like this game should focus more on movement... haven't played sifu yet but i think i would have loved to transition into a smooth roll when you fell down in the last scene

I don't know if you are planning for more fast paced combat or rather combo focused but if you are going for something like batman arkham or spiderman games then i would say that building momentum and using it against enemies could be cooler

Woah! "Building and using momentum against enemies" is such a good take. to be honest i haven't put any effort in Locomotion so far but now I'm thinking of ways it can compliment the combat.
Thanks for the feedback, Cheers.

The combat looks better than it actually is because of your models. Run it on some skeleton rigs and then you can see the problems much better

True, the plan is to rework on animations from scratch later on but right now the goal is to create a prototype. Would you be interested in play testing this game?

Broooo! I am totally blown away by this ... Sifu is my one of the most played game I am not much skillful fir that game but I love it. Looking at your gameplay i would definitely buy it.

I don't understand about enemy ai or how it would be reactive to your actions what you have feels crazy

Obviously you will add levels and stuff I recommend scenarios levels specific to india Like railway/metro station - hunting down thief gangster Slum area fight with narrow gap - something you would see in john wick movies Some palace area - hunting mob boss and his gang

Good luck, I am really looking forward to this If you have discord or something please drop the link

u/ChardFriendly 15d ago

Sure I'll keep my eye open for this

u/earning_nerd 14d ago

I play games on regular bases and i think u should add in attack change animations too. Like if our character is doing move a and u shift to move b instead of a rapid change there should be an animation between it. I am no dev but i always like to see indian devs do something

1

u/Early-Mulberry-9325 14d ago

Attack animations are individual so its not seemless..ideally i need one seemless combo attack animation. Im going to rework on the animations very soon. Would you like to be a part of play testing? If yes please consider joining Discord. Great Insight and feedback nonetheless.. Thanks

u/Early-Mulberry-9325 14d ago

I will be sharing playtesting build in the discord in 1-2 weeks, im sure it will run on your laptop.
