Funny thing is that there are no extra particles after he dies. The black ones you see are the ones he ways has. The textures are all squares, so I can send you the ID if you want. Thanks!
I was gonna say that this reminds me of Sekiro a ton, but you mentioned that that was the main inspiration LOL, love it.
I personally like the dark blank character. I do think that maybe some accessories that are tinted the same colour would add some more personality though.
The boss fight is really nice! If I had to suggest anything it would be maybe some more types of moves for the boss or environmental stuff. For example halfway through he could do a spin that starts a dust storm making it more difficult to see and counters his attacks. Ofc I don’t know the type of battle you’re going for.
Also it’s sorta unrelated but I have to say 13 different keys for different attacks in a melee fight is CRAZY to me lmao
