Hey there!
This week we focused on building the foundations of our networked animation system!
Instead of syncing full animations over the network, we’re sending only actions (like casting a spell or attacking), and each client plays the animation locally. This approach keeps everything synchronized while significantly reducing network load.
On top of that, we’ve added the first version of spell animations visible to other players!
What you do is no longer just local - now everyone can actually see your actions in the world.
This is an important step toward making the game feel more alive and responsive in multiplayer.
More improvements coming soon!
If you haven’t added the game to your wishlist yet, you can do it here:
That’s it for today 🫡 See you in the next devlog!
