I missed these, really cool episode bro!

[@mixandjam]

Thanks Dani!!! I also missed working on these! Hopefully I’ll have more time to make more videos soon!

[@Danidev]

@@mixandjam Yeah man, would love to see more! Hope you find the time

[@TPD_Dev]

Me too

[@ramen201]

@@Danidev waiting for new video but take your time :)

[@aditirajbhar7228]

Look who developer of Muck!!

[@iHeartGameDev]

Absolute magic how you're able to break down these mechanics into so many understandable steps and explain them so well. I am so freaking impressed, André!

[@emirhan2419]

Can you make it full tutorial this project, iHeartGameDev?

[@dylanking165]

I came here to watch this on my break from watching your tutorial haha

[@xanderabbey8529]

OK, now this tutorial is just solid gold. Absolutely amazing job!

[@TheJoppemin]

I was today years old when i found out you can just insert a IEnumerator inside a function instead of calling a Coroutine

[@ezone-com]

What?!? Which script is it in? (this would be so useful)

[@libiroli]

​@@ezone-com 4:13

[@ezone-com]

@@libiroli Thanks!!

[@nextProgram]

If you're talking about the function at 4:13, I think you might be misunderstanding the code a bit. He's still calling the PrepAttack coroutine, the only difference is he wrote PrepAttack as a local function. The behavior in this case is the same as putting PrepAttack outside of the method.

[@darksunrise957]

@@nextProgram Still, I didn't know you COULD write nested functions like that. I don't see a huge usecase for it, but it's a useful tool nonetheless.

[@hm4266]

Hell yeah he’s back!

[@jack4law]

It’s been a while! Welcome back :D

[@macepunky6406]

just wow! i've requested this on the comments of 2 previous videos and now here it is! i've insta liked the video before watching it,everything is so well explained ...you're amazing and your channel its a super motivator to go deep dive into game development! Thanks and keep up!

[@mixandjam]

Thanks Mace! This is a very requested mechanic but of course I always read comments and take into consideration every idea! Happy you like it!

[@TgShOcKeR]

Dude....you're SOOO GOOD, this is an amazing portfolio as well. Please, don't stop making these videos, I'm learning soooo much and you're giving me a new perspective on a lot of mechanics, and I'm pretty sure everyone else thinks the same way. Looking forward to seeing all your projects in the future!!!

[@EdwardFacundo]

Great to hear from you again! This channel is a MUST WATCH for every game developer. Thanks for your hard work and contribution for the entire scene! Um grande abraço!

[@Soloman274]

Where are you man? Your channel is truly unique gem on its own!

[@RyoHazuki1]

I'm so impressed at how you break down the challenge, not to mention your skills to bring everything together. Very inspiring.

[@GAMEGLiTcHDevelopment]

This is epic! I had a feeling you were going to do a tutorial about this. Great job André!

[@AlarmedPizza]

Thank you for the explanation and the files! Just discovered this channel and subbed immediately once I saw the quality and generosity of your content.

[@WannibeManisha]

This was great! Love how smooth it all looked.

[@OPMultiplayerCoopGames]

I can't believe you finally did this! I have been commenting so many times asking for this. Thanks

[@planetofeffects5422]

You made the combat of one of the best video games all on your own, thought you'd be rusty after a few months without a video.

[@adrianrhesa7546]

Just amazing. I always like the way you explain and the topics you picked. It never disappoint! Thank you Andre.

[@RandomocityGaming1208]

Incredible video! It's always really inspiring seeing what you can do with time and clever design choices. Your vids encourage me to keep learning!

[@Wwise_sounds]

Amazing work! Really like the editing showing the codes for each section.

[@protofun]

Dude, this is incredible! I love how you get the most out of Unity's features. 👏👏👏

[@youngknight5589]

It's really cool how you pulled this off and it's awesome you open sourced it, I just saw the latest movie and was playing Arkham Knight, so I watched this video again :) this is a really cool channel as a whole

[@judhajit7485]

Wow! I have been pulling my hairs out for the past few months to figure out the arkham style combat system. And you, sir, just made it look so damn easy. thanks for this! Subscribed.

[@gowtham27501]

It's been a very long time since you posted a video,good to see you again

[@paulkyle]

These kinda videos make me cry. Cause it's so evident that you love what you're doing, you're enjoying solving creative problems and in the end it pays off so fucking much!

Someone in an online group I'm in was looking for something like this just recently. I was only able to give a rough suggestion on how I thought it could be done so this is much better! Also, I'd like to reiterate my request for you to consider making the snake movement of Snake Pass. Thanks!

[@rasmuspedersen4891]

👀 looking good! i always enjoy playing games with good flow ;)
