Animation of the Double Jump

The concept art already had a...concept of what we assumed was a double jump, and I think that looked like it could work well. I do agree it's plain for now.

Or, maybe petals accompanying the glowing effect near her feet we're suggesting. There's also the possibility of a momentary materialization of a physical crystal platform, visible only for a few frames that she hops off of before it fades away, but I'm not sure how much work and animation we could have to work with.

Dante's double jumps in Devil May Cry are something similar, except with a magic circle of sorts instead.

I came to the same conclusion of this leap in fact fact that also in demo 2 were withdrawn the petalas on back of Miriam who makes an effect very pleasant would like to continue in the same way the demo 1                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             petals Effect                                                                                                                                                                                                                                imgur.com/XrVca60                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Without petals                                                    imgur.com/5Kzi71D                                                                                                                                                                 

I came into this topic to say maybe a materialized crystal platform that she uses to jump off from would be cool.
But it was already suggested.

It could have been cool that once she does jump of a crystal platform it would break apart, similar to how the bloodless boss breaks at the end of the fight.

Something like Shanoas somersault could be cool as well, but I feel that the problem with that is that they have to cancel the animation when she attacks. So it could look a bit janky.

I always thought the cape wing flap of Alucard was super cool, but unfortunately Miriam doesn't have something like that that she could use, could be any magic really.
Like Shanoa's wing glyph, instead of have it on always they just appear when she does a double jump.

Creative, but I'd prefer something a little less conspicuous. Something as commonplace as a double-jump, which will be used hundreds of times per playthrough, could get tiresome quickly if the visuals were too gimmicky. I think something both stylish and subtle would be my preference. A neat flip, a special animation for her legs, something along those lines. For those who proposed a faint outline of a crystal platform, that seems to fit the bill - neat, but not too distracting.

One community feedback from one of the facebook groups - (By a person called Adrian Gallardo)

"The double jump, maybe they could add a little holographic platform when she does the second jump. Sorta like how Dante does from the Devil May Cry series. It could look like a blueish rose with the stained glass look that breaks into pieces when the double jump commences."

Figured it would take part here for CM Mana to eventually see the thread and posts.

Edit 2

Update from a FB group where I asked about the double jump.



Holden Kesselring: I agree with Adrian on the topic of the familiars but if it does garner too much concern, maybe combine the mentioned aura effect with a little translucency to preserve that "made out of magic" vibe. I'd like to see crystalline wings for the double jump but I feel that other options would make more unless it dropped from a winged enemy

Adrian Gallardo: Wings like the picture shown above?

Holden Kesselring: yes, with a bit more color and shine added

It wasn't a big issue more of a nitpick but it's definitely good to hear that there will be some work on it still  

I certainly didn't expect the team to add anything; it was more like wishful thinking, but that would certainly be cool. You guys are obviously putting a lot of thought into this. Love it.

Maybe some small wings or something. Just nothing too distractive.

Well it is more done now, and Miriam have had a few updates since, double jump included.
