You should consider adding a different kind of attack for attacking up and down underwater. Maybe instead of swinging they stab upwards or downwards and it increases range but decreases the aoe. It should help add some variety into underwater combat and might allow for some more strategy in how you attack things underwater. You can make enemies that can only be attacked from above or below or have something that you can't get close to so you need to use a longer range attack. Since a decent amount of time might be spent underwater in the final product, having a wider variety of options that are different from land attacks might be nice. Animating a stab might be a bit easier as well. Thanks for another great video!

I would go with only left/right attacks underwater and get rid of the up and down ones. As you said at the end it simplifies things (both for you and also the player I think) and fits the perspective.

Left and right attacks only works fine. They probably look less jaring the lack of transitions too. Maybe you could do a somersault type attack to turn around and do a full circle arc with less range? With the current up and down animations, I think the head needs to be turned down, so hes looking at his toes. Your head is like a boui, it should always be trying to stay upright. So when he is upside down it will look more like he is pushing it downwards. And it will just be correct when he is upright. Alternatively, look at how smash bros characters do a upward smash attack. They turn back\face to the camera and do a shoulder to shoulder swing to create the horizontal arc.

what if when you are underwater the player only has one attack where they just do an underwater flip while holding out the stick, so it hits in a circular area around them? this would likely have a longer cooldown because the animation would take a bit longer to play, so it would make the player have to be more careful about when they use their attacks while also opening the possibility of being able to hit multiple enemies in a group at once if you get in the middle of all them. I think this would also make sense more from an animation standpoint than the player swinging the stick above or below them in any of the implementations you show here. this would also maybe help differentiate underwater combat a bit more from combat on the ground from having a different style of attacking

I wonder if the weapon(s) should just act differently underwater? I think it would be cool to have different attack styles for the different states. Maybe while underwater the attack animation is some kind of flip, so the swipe goes in a full circle around the player. Would make sense for the environment and fix the awkward issues with attacking upwards.

You could keep the character facing forward for top and bottom attacks. For example, the character could lift up their legs and swing low while still facing front. Or do a kind of underwater kick and brief lunge up or down. The idea being, the character doesn’t need to re-orient up or down, but a lunge movement can show directionality. And, being under water, that lunge can be in any direction, without gravity.

definitely keep some b-roll of Moose coming, super cute. As for your animations, I kinda find the ones you implemented to look a little unnatural. The left and right works fine, maybe you could add a "spin attack' where he swirls and kinda hits up and down in one attack. I understand probably wanting to keep fine control like what you have above the water...it's just hard to animate an attack when he's horizontal. I think you might be close if you're wanting to keep it that way, it just needs more tweaking. Great job on these devlogs. You are one of my inspirations

Since you're going the magic route you could make the underwater attack some sort of upgrade you can get and it being some sort of magical attack that attacks all around you instead of in one direction. Or I would remove the up and down slash and just have a left and right slash. You could also make the left and right slashes wider swings so they're more 180 degree swings instead of 90 degrees which would allow the player to hit things above and below them with left and right swings. It also makes sense that the player is taking wider and slower swings underwater compared to how they swing when on land.

I feel that some in-between frames will definitely make those animations work, so that the player doesn't just snap to an upside-down position when striking above him. It would look a lot more natural with two or three frames showing him twist away from the camera to get into his new belly-up position, then after doing whatever attacks he's using, twist toward the camera to get back into belly-down position.

I think for the upward attack and downward attack, there needs to be a frame where your character is mid-turning, so basically facing either the camera or showing us his back, it looks a bit weird that he just turns around underwater instantly. This makes some sense on land since we can move fast there, but underwater it looks a bit unnatural since we're kinda sluggish. Same goes for the swinging animations, the attack animation should be a bit slower to show that he is underwater and water is putting up more resistance than air.

For the underwater attacks, I think a lot of the jank comes from the disconnect from where the character is looking vs the direction they attack. To solve this you should have the player constantly look at the cursor. Which can be achieved by giving the player 3 underwater animation states, swimming (your current side-ways movement), idle (a state where the player is floating in place), and a back up (a state where the player is facing forward but using his arms to propel himself backwards at .5 or .75 speed). You then rotate the player sprite to look at the cursor. You can then have two attacks one while swimming and one for idle and back up.

Hey, it's me! Here's some more feedback because I just can't resist :P 1. I would suggest making the slash animation symmetrical (at least when it's at its largest). I don't mean exactly mirrored pixels, but I think it would look better if the general shape of the arc were symmetrical. Maybe also a bit more circular? 2. I noticed that you didn't do any easing with the swing (not just the slash, but the weapon itself). It doesn't look terrible the way it is, but I think that adding this more natural slow-fast-slow time curve is what really sells the motion. 3. This one totally depends on the actual feel of combat you're going for, but I would heavily recommend removing the upward and downward underwater attacks all together. I can say (with relative confidence), that no matter how well you do the animations, they will always look a bit janky. If you don't rotate the body, the arms will go in unnatural directions, and if you do rotate it, then it will kind of take the player out of the moment by suddenly changing their orientation. I've seen many other games in which underwater combat (or space combat, or whatever else) utilizes only horizontal attacks, and it generally seems to work pretty well, forcing players to be more thoughtful. By letting the player float around and attack in any direction, it almost seems like you're giving them too much freedom. Doing it this way would also help differentiate the experience from ground combat, rather than making it feel like the same system with new visuals and a few extra features. No one's ever mentioned my comment in a video of theirs before, so that was a cool moment. Thank you!

I love the idea of doing a roll to be able to attack above you, that makes a lot of sense! I feel like a way you could make it look a bit cleaner would be to add some frames to show the character model rolling over before hand, just to reaffirm that he is rolling and not just flicking into a new location. The other thing I think would be cool is if the attack animation was a lot slower underwater, it's really hard to swing your arm through water at speed so making an attack would be really slow and sluggish, maybe adding this in would help to make each hit feel like it's got more weight behind it too. Also you could add a similar additional movement aspect for the player like on land, but instead of moving in the direction of attack, moving in the opposite direction, like what would happen in real life. Just some thoughts, loving the content man, keep it up!

So, for the up attack, have you considered doing what is effectively a backstab? Have one frame of anticipation where the avatar holds the wand in a backwards grip in front of (below) their torso, and then the entire rest of the animation is the wand yanked back to beside their torso, with the effect doing a ^ shape that goes up and out. That would solve some of the underwater drag issues while also allowing you to keep using mostly the same art, not needing to have the player reorient themselves and eating up a ton of frames to look good.

Have you thought about using a hierarchical state machine pattern? That way you could have super states, like grounded, underwater, running, etc. And sub states, that are linked to the super states. These super states would then handle sub state switching and add some behavior to them based on the super state. I use and love this pattern and so was thinking if it would also work on your project and make life easier. ^^

For the up and down animations Im not sure if this would work but my first thought was that you should have the player face the screen head on with their legs splayed (kinda like they are in a postion for breast stroke kick) then you would have the same facing direction for both with minor changes to the arm movements but I actually really liked the neck cranded one for the downwards movement even though it looks a little awkward swimming downward tend to be the most awkward in my realife experience (but I dont really have a experience swimming with nuetral buoyancy) however when I got to the end of the video I sorta resonated with your comment about removing attacking in the up/down directions not because I think you should remove them but because I think they they should be less powerful, like maybe have a shorter range or less corruption removal per swing in that direction because I feel like its a weaker direction in general. Overall I think its a really interesting system youre developing for the underwater attacks and Ive been really enjoying watching your game development progress, keep up the great work!

If all moving organism have been "cured" the corruption is mostly not spreading. I think corrupted plants and trees that are on grass could maybe slowly spread trought the grass to reach other organism to corrupt. Of course you would not have to attack grass to "cure" it but just attack the plants and trees touching that grass to turn it back to normal. This would make it so even corrupted trees can spread the corruption thus be a danger to the island like the moving organism do.

Hey! Just a little something that "bothered" me when I saw you play/attack underwater is the "you re diving too deep" pop up. It interrupted you while fighting, and it freezes everything until you click OK. I feel like it could be a pop up that doesnt pause the game or require a click but disappear/fades away on its own, while still being visible! For the animations a point I'd like to bring is that swinging underwater and above water shouldnt be at the same speed for me : you re slower underwater and its harder to quickly move. Maybe a simple slower slash will make the player feel the difference more? Also I thought of a "mechanic" where you can flip your body (facing down, what you have by default now, and facing up when flipped, what you have in the very end when you attack up) by pressing a key. That means that you can only attack in front and under you but when flipped, you can attack above :) It feels more natural to me to need your body to be oriented up prior to attack up, at least if you want to keep simple slash attacks. Otherwise, a "barrel roll" that hits both above and under you would complete nicely the simple front slash for me, and avoid a weird up animation, as in a roll the animation loops back to the starting position :D Cheers!

I'm not sure if it fits the game feel you're going for, but what if the underwater portion had full rotation animation like in aquaria? Instead of abruptly changing between left/right/up/down, the character would just fully rotate 360 degrees to face the swim / attack direction.

I think we're going to need a puppy cam so we can see what the puppy is doing through out the entire video!

For me it's mostly just awkward that the attack animations only involve one arm. I think if you were to actually perform these actions in the water you would be moving your entire body, so I think the attack animation should also make the player swim a little bit towards the direction that they are attacking.

In Witcher 3 you can only use your crossbow underwater and that works quite well so maybe allow using only "ranged attacks" when underwater?

I feel you could also ignore the up and down slash and just make new types of weapons made for attacking vertically

Maybe the underwater combat should be done with a different weapon, something ranged to be less frustrating and also simplify those animations. Just a thought

Maybe add diagonal attacking so you can be more accurate with attacking?
