✨ Battle Animations

The combat system just got a massive visual update! Every attack, spell, and item use now comes to life with smooth animations:

  • Basic attacks (melee and ranged projectiles) now feature unique animations.

  • Item usage has distinct animations for health, mana and status potions, and explosion for bombs.

  • Skills for all Hero classes and enemies are now fully animated, making each battle more dynamic and expressive.

🌍 World Animations

Storytellers now have the power to bring their worlds to life! A brand-new Animation Panel lets you add animated effects directly to your world:

  • Add fire to your campfires, bubbling lava, swirling whirlwinds, or even powerful explosions.

  • Control layering, deciding whether an effect appears above or below characters.

  • Customize color, rotation, and position for full creative freedom.

  • Choose between:

    • 🔁 Looped animations – seamless, continuous effects like fire or flowing lava.

    • 💥 Non-looped animations – one-time effects like explosions or impact bursts.
