Welcome once again to the weekly Development Log for Lionhearts, an up-and-coming project on Steam created using Unreal Engine 5.
Lionhearts: Melee is being polished at an impressive rate, with major improvements being made.
On top of this, we also added guard-break reaction animation and the corresponding VFX. Flytext size for damage has been reduced to increase immersion. Favor tree icons resolution has been fixed, making them appear much clearer.
The crosshair for blocking and parrying has been polished. VFX for arrows via arrow trails has also been added. Bots/NPCs can now also effectively use their shields to block.
On the 3d front, landscape and textures received massive visual improvements. The windmill blades were also redone to be more realistic and look cleaner.
Several bug fixes were also prioritized this week, including:
Fixing NPCs not being able to run
Fixing NPCs not using stamina.
Fixing best-of-three breaking after the first match (turning into best-of-one)
Fixing the loadout display mannequin breaking when equipping a bow
Fixing players on the same team spawning inside of each other
Fixing block defense not decreasing for other players
Fixing NPCs not ragdolling
Fixing ragdolls not replicating for all players
Fixing an issue where players wouldn't respawn after a match
Fixing NPC sight perception
Fixing shield animation and shield offset
Fixing the clashing mechanic, weapons now bounce back when clashing
