Character: Ray

[PauloDosReis]

Hero Description

Rey is a young adventurer with a big sword.

Concept art

Inspiration

He is like the basic adventurer of a RPG, has a big sword and some pieces of armor, much like Ike from Fire Emblem and Cloud from Final Fantasy

Gameplay

Ray is a melee close-ranged fighter, his attacks are pretty much sword slashes. Since he doesn't have a big range, he can dash through to close the gap and buff himself. Pretty much a Hack 'n Slash character.

Daily Update 29/01

• Today I took some time to organize my folders, since I did a lot of testing with some other softwares before sticking to magicavoxel it was a big mess over there, now all cleaned up

---

• I finished the hurt frame, it's just him going back a bit like he's surprised by an attack

---

• And I started the first attack (slash) animation, just the first frame, I'll first do the frame test then I'll add the "blur" of the sword when I think the timing is perfect

• Today was a big day! I could work more on this character and could do the animations without much problems like when I was doing the ones before
  First thing, I wasn't liking the run I did before so I started the running animation from scratch, managed to make it more fluid and a lot better

Daily Update 05/02

---

• I did a rush to finish all the animations since I had some free time, first I did the ultimate Heaven's call

---

• Then I did the taunt, just a simple animation

---

• Then took me some time to put all the animations in the center, since it's easier to animate them in motion, before uploading I had to pick every frame and put in the middle, then I had to save every frame separated in the folder

Character is done, now I'll make the pull request and upload him
