Texturing workflow for our RTS units: -> Assign trim sheet material in Blender -> Bake to 1-1 UVs -> Damage/dirt/player marking masks in Substance -> Controlled by shader in Unity. It gives loads of flexibility with variation of colour/damage + high fidelity from the trim sheets! #gamedev

Resolve hits now deal gray life damage. It will recover over time, but be careful: you will lose your remaining gray life the next time you take damage! We're also working on sound with some placeholder SFX. #indiegame #indiedev #fightinggames #FGC #animation #gamedev
