Doing the reload anims of some weapons was a real pain. Since our system works with a '3rd person' avatar with a camera attached in the head (to simulate 1st person), we couldn't simply do the typical 'flying hands attached to the screen' trick for the weapons.
The dual fish guns reload anim wasn't hard. The real complicated weapons were the crossbow and musket which have pieces and things that the player manipulates with the hands. This meant synchronizing both the weapon model with the player model... it was a very tedious process.
Looking good and interesting. In a lot of games with melee components, the melee just looks quirky. Glad to see that's not the case here
