Hello everyone! Thank you as always for your support. Let's take a look at this week's progress.

Sorry for the late post!

### Organizing the Attack Hit Flow, Including Projectiles

First, I identified the common parts of the hit processing for character attacks and projectile attacks. Then, I clarified the differences. Projectile hits do not trigger counter hits, nor do they cause the attacking character to react. By adding conditional branches for these differences, I successfully consolidated the processing into a single function.

Although the flow worked well, modifying the enum disrupted the order of the action parameters, resulting in a bug where all hits after locking a character became invalid. I’ve made this mistake several times before but failed to notice the cause, wasting time on fixes.

I also attempted to fix the animation playback time bug, but based on old code, the solution seems more complex than anticipated. The old code feels like it was written by someone else. However, since no one else has reported this bug, it might not occur in the build data. If that's the case, it's not critical, so I'll prioritize other bugs.

Recent Development Delays

About a month ago, on a whim, I accepted illustration commissions. The response was overwhelming, and I happily took on all the requests. Having not done illustration work for a while, I forgot how slow I am at it. Currently, I’m swamped with these commissions, impacting the development of Hellversus. The final deadline is mid-July, so I might not have satisfactory updates until then. This is due to my lack of foresight, and I apologize.😰

The originally planned GGPO tests are difficult to conduct without ample time, but I plan to continue fixing minor bugs in the interim.
