Hey Shinobi, As always, here is the monthly progress report for March 2026: - Continued major work on a new animation system, including full root motion integration. - Reworked how animations behave in gameplay to better support movement, combat, and overall responsiveness. - Built new animation data systems and workflows to support the ongoing movement system rework. - Improved how movement direction and player input influence animations, making actions feel more grounded and reactive. - Continued migrating core animation functionality into more stable systems for long-term scalability. - Fixed various issues related to animations, chat systems, and overall stability. - Continued work on ability animations and overall animation polish. - Continued improvements to customization items. - Updated character drafts and refined their lore. - Reached a major milestone on Satoru’s main theme soundtrack, with composition and lyrics completed, now entering final vocalization. As always, we’re excited to share more with you in the coming months. As a small behind-the-scenes look, here’s a glimpse of our lead animator reviewing one of the attack animations that have been in development for this month. Thank you for your continued support!
