The animation blending could possibly be improved (to improve responsiveness), as often the run animation got stuck, or the direction did not change in time.

The fact that you used motion capture and incorporated it in a game is one of the most awesome things I've ever witnessed in a Ludum Dare. I always though that such a technology required a lot of expensive tools, but seeing what you accomplished in only 3 days just blew my mind, and I truly and sincerly thank you for that.\n\nYour game probably won't have a good score, but PLEASE, don't be discouraged by that. You have the right idea and, with enough time, you'll bake a fantastic game.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":655956,"author_name":"DWink","author_uid":"dwink","epoch":1619571641,"text":"Wild for such a short amount of time.

I thought that this demo was really cool and a lot of fun and even from the opening of it I got a really good sense of what thi world was! I felt like the drums as the background music felt really appropriate and added to the world building itself.\n\nAfter reading the description and everything I gave it a try and found the mechanics to be really cool! I personally had trouble figuring out how to aim my attack and also what I could or could not punch, but the prospect of punching the things was fun even if I didn't get to actually make contact.\n\nGreat submission!

There are obviously a lot of things to work out with this entry, but this game is ambitious enough that it's an impressive entry even without a lot of the core mechanics that make it a game. My one nitpick with the mechanics is the attack; it's pretty difficult to pull off. I would recommend either making the attack animation have a shorter windup, locking the closest enemy in place while you attack, or giving the attack a weapon and a much larger hitbox. Aside from that, just running around and smacking enemies was fun enough that this was a good entry on its own merits.

As you know, not too much in terms of gameplay. Probably a bit too ambitious for a 48h compo ;) On the animations: It felt like something was off about the walking and running animation.
