Jump Rope Minigame: Lighting, Environment & Character Tests(WIP) (Patreon)

Hey everyone!

I’ve been making steady progress on the jump rope minigame with the Battle Maidens characters (starting with Maria) in Unity, and lately I’ve been focusing on testing the lighting and character response to help everything feel more natural and integrated into the scene.

I’ve also been making several changes to the environment, adding more elements so the stage feels more natural and complete.

One of the latest additions is trying to make the elements more cel shading "anime like", which helps give the environment a much stronger sense of 2D and makes the whole scene feel more believable.

On the character side, I’m also putting together a character reference sheet for Maria, Lisa, and Grace, which will help keep their designs and details consistent as development continues.

I’ve also been experimenting with camera transitions, testing how the camera moves from the idle state into the jump rope gameplay camera. I’m trying different angles and transitions to make everything feel smoother and more natural.

I’m hoping to show you more progress soon, both with Lisa and Grace and with some additional animation and camera tests.
