Hello everyone!

Another update for you. This involves floating orcs and hammering out bugs. :)

• Updated the Hammer FX (posted a video short up above for you to check out. It shows the gameplay).
• Hammer FX Gameplay
• When hovering over an orc with an active action, the orc highlights for the user
• Added a fast forward and normal speed button! (they toggle back and forth), creating some interesting gameplay

Polishing the hammer action for the orcs. Originally, I was using trigger events, but quickly realized it was too cumbersome and involved a lot of level design work that wasn't sustainable. To fix this, I went to using Linecasting. This way, the orc can send a line cast out in front to check if there is a crate. If there is a crate, the orc smashes it!

This only occurs if they have the hammer action online. 

For the fast forward and normal speed buttons, I'm changing a Global speed variable. Its affecting not only the orcs' movement, but also their actions. (Doesn't affect the obstacles, maybe it will)

Level Designs

• Added another orc action - the lifesaver!

The Lifesaver action allows the orc to float on water. I'm still working on the design, but I got them floating and moving. The Lifesaver only appears when they interact with water. 

• Added duration to the orc actions, allowing for more level design flexibility (In the future, I want the actions to have a limited quantity. Currently, the actions are unlimited!)
• Also, working on additional levels - these all need to be tweaked and polished, but the core level gameplay is in
• Added a sample credits scene as well - so there is a gameplay loop, just not very long

That's it for now! 

Have a good one,
