Since last week was pretty bare-bones in terms of flashy updates, I decided to lump that week together with this week!

Let's start off by showing off the new Action Cam!
I needed a camera that would work well for showing off your character while also being fully functional as a dynamic camera. I went for the cinematic "off-to-the-side" perspective, which I think works pretty darn well. Here's a good showcase of the camera using the sweet energy blast martial arts move. (;
I tested it out with various bow and arrow skills as well, and I'm really happy with the results.
I should also mention that you can turn off the action cam if you want a fully first person experience! (:

Along with the new action cam, I also made some substantial improvements to enemy movement capabilities. Before, enemies had a hard time finding the best place to jump to make it to you if you were on a distant platform, or just in an awkward position that wasn't connected via the nav mesh. They'd *eventually* make it to you, but it'd be pretty wonky lol
Now they have vastly improved their jumping capabilities, allowing them to keep up with you pretty well even if you're grappling, climbing, wall running, etc.
Here's a good showcase of not only the improved AI movement, but the action cam as well!

(The action cam also works for some melee abilities as well!)

Next, I started expanding upon the old assignment system! Assignments are fully randomly generated quests that are (usually) gotten from the various guilds across Eudros!
I want these assignments to allow players to essentially have an endless supply of quests for any of the guilds. Not only typical run-of-the-mill quests like "Kill X Gobs" or "Retrieve X from dungeon" - I want these assignments to have a huge array of dumb, fun, unique objectives. Like handing out flyers for the Church of Arosa. Sure, it might not be the most exciting quest out there, but it adds variety and life to the world! It'll allow players to roleplay their characters to the fullest extent!
Also, thank you to everyone in the Discord who contributed to the Assignment Quest Suggestion Thread! (Still going on until Sep. 12 if you have any good ideas you want to throw into the mix!)

That's all I've got this week. Hopefully I'll have enough stuff done for next weeks recap! If not, I'll just do what I did with this update again.

Have a safe and fantastic weekend, everyone! (:
