In the works

Monsters

Lupernix - 20% complete
needs work: skill animations, skill implementation

lupernix.mp4

Spiquida - 50% complete
needs work: idle rework (with inverse kinematics because the amount of joints is too large for animating using forward kinematics), skill animations

spiquida.mp4
