New Shapeshifter Ability: Wing Form

While working on developing new NPCs to bring into Avencia's citizenry and soldiery, we've also continued to develop the Prisoner's skills and abilities. We are excited to show off the latest shapeshifting skill that has been added to the game.

Putting points into the agility tree, the Prisoner and players can now spread their wings! Serving as both a double jump and a slow-fall, the new wing form opens up new traversal options that were previously only possible with abilities such as tendril yank.

Something we've always bounced back and forth on is how much emphasis should be placed on the disguises versus other forms. Avencia is home to various people, but ultimately they are for the most part still every day humans. With that in mind, it makes more sense to lean heavily into the shapeshifter's otherworldly powers to really make the most of the Skorozian blessings they have received. This winged form is one of many such permutations of that.

As an added bonus, art lead RX Fluharty recorded a timelapse of the entire animation process for this new ability. Those curious to learn how the sauce is made can check out this video.
