General Thoughts
Doing the animation for the player and enemies was tough. With the help of some youtube videos on animation basics I managed to create something I'm okay with. Using references from Hotline Miami and The Path to Die was extremely helpful as drawing without aid felt like making bad guesses as to what the frames should look like. The player's katana swing is heavily taken from the "Colombian" enemy from Hotline Miami, the smear effect in particular had a lot of subtle details I would have never figured out on my own.
I'd prefer not having to do the art but I couldn't find any assets that fit the bill and didn't want to limit myself to only making games I could find assets for. I think for a prototype, it ended up okay.
