Trello News!

Hey everyone! I haven’t been working on my newspaper for a while, but i’m back!

And we live in a world of Melee Weapon Revamp! Personally something I was excited for, having a weapons file. A lot of the news this issue will be on it. :mariomug:

Confusing? You’re not alone :nod:. Quite a lot of information here. Just so you don’t have to read all that, it mostly has to do with how large your spacing can be before a combo stops. One of those things you always forgot about. But despite how small this seems, it will definitely add onto the convenience and quality of weapons, and maybe save you once or twice…

We’re also seeing knockback on our melee weapon slashes, with different slashes delivering a heavier blow to the unlucky victim. Cool touch!

And now we have one of the biggest parts of the weapon revamp. Before, the hitbox of the weapon was actually the weapon itself. While this was cool and all, it was awfully inconvenient and annoying for hitting opponents. Now though, slashing creates a more “exaggerated” hitbox in front of the attacker, which makes weapons easier to use and more optimized. :nod:

The step-forward when slashing now only happens when you stand still, as it interrupted combat.

Something very interesting.

Using your weapon in the air now points your character, and the slash, towards the mouse, similar to magic blasts. This will most certainly help with aerial weapons combat. It also states velocity will be cancelled, meaning you might float in the air, similar to a blast attack. I’m not 100% sure, and would be happy if someone could clarify down below.

It will also lunge your character forwards slightly, as you can see.

And about those stamina costs with air attacks. A normal aerial slash will deal as much as a grounded heavy slash, and a heavy aerial slash will consume 50% more stamina. Interesting, and there will definitely be further balancing. :thinking:

Definitely hyped for more of the Weapon Revamp soon! :ok_hand:

“What is your favorite game and why?”

Here’s a cool question. What’s your favorite game? What an interesting topic to scroll through. Some of my favorites are Minecraft, WoM/AO (Obviously), Terraria, and Slime Rancher. Do you play any of those? Leave your comments in their topic! :point_down:

Art or Writing of the Week!

Alicia Water

“Alicia Water”
By @tong

One of the more stunning pieces i’ve seen so far. I love the OC, and the amount of details put into them, the landscape, the sky, and even the wrinkles on their clothes is immeasurable. Wonderful. And the color choices are very nice. Incredible job to Tong!

Since I merged the sections again, I have to give writers a time to shine, so I might alternate every week or so. We’ll see, unless someone creates ludicrously good art.
