The weapons are sprites?

[Naps]

My brain is trying to understand this info, they dont look like sprites at all, How does that work with all the fancy lighting and reflections on the weapons, especially the axe?

We have a dev blog coming up on how we did it. But the gist of it is that they use normal maps, which tell it how to light from different angles.

would be nicer if the animations were smoother, more frames

Like devs said it's a lighting map applied to a weapon texture. Means that each pixel of weapon sprite will behave differently if exposed to light at various angles
