I follow this guy’s FB updates. It’s more there than the bits and pieces here. I can promise you he is saving significant stuff to show here. Think of what he shares like a developer diary/blog rather than a Marketing Thread like some other people have done. I’m sure he’ll show some gameplay, but he’s doing a lot on his lonesome. Perhaps you guys would be happier if he went dark until he had a gameplay trailer, but also perhaps this is his release after all the work - sharing his work in between crunches.
Be patient with the kid. He’s doing his best. He’s come far along since he first shared this with us. It’s more than a great deal of us are doing on the creative end. Instead of armchair developing, he’s doing it. Have some respect for that. He hasn’t spammed once.
I had some technical issues. the problem isn’t throwing something up there for the world to see. it’s making something worth showing. I have lots of pieces, including code and an engine. i just need to finish individual assets and put them together. will show some screenshots next week.
We just want to see how the game plays. Just seeing models and art makes us lose interest quickly.
You shouldn’t be afraid to show how the game plays even if the assets aren’t complete. Look at Skullgirls, Mike is quick to show of the new characters their working on on stream even if the art isn’t complete. The stuff they show is full of unfinished frames, raw sketches etc. but all playable (you can even try them out on the “endless” beta on Steam if you have access to it).
While seeing the game in motion would be awesome. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with taking your time, and showing tiny tidbits over the course of a year. So no critique on my part.
There’s probably a case to be made that it’s difficult to keep the hype up if your followers only see small incremental improvements… But well, I know first hand how time consuming making a fighting game is. Keep up the good work, and I’ll continue to keep my eye on this thread.
agree, plus her anatomy was off and these are all rough textures. really going to down to update everything.
Current in game progress, I have to do a model reskin to fix all the bad anatomy issues
