Cerebrawl - A 2v2 4-player Fighting Game from Zero Dimension

Definitely agree with you - that’s the Battle Witch’s theme, so it fits her, but we’re probably going to put in different music for the released prototype. Just wanted to tease a few things all at once :slight_smile:

Alright guys, we finally decided to do our own fundraising campaign without Kickstarter involved. You can read all about it here: http://www.cerebrawl.in/donate

Thanks to everyone that reached out to ask how they could support us!

Hey so, I’ve been sort of watching this for a while now. Correct me if I’m wrong, but you are doing this in Unity right?

Yep, Unity 5.

Cool yeah I figured. I asked because a while back, I started using Unity 5 for a fighting game. I’m still working on it, but I also worked on an interesting way to have real-time lighting on sprites. You’ve probably seen something like it before, but here’s what I came up with:

If you are at all interested, I’d be more than happy to share with you how it was done.

can i back for a demo key AFTER i’ve seen footage of the demo from others? after dec.14th?

You can back any time! The page will be up indefinitely. We’re also archiving all of the podcast episodes so you’ll get access to all episodes as soon as you back the project.

Nice! Yeah we’re using Sprite DLight to generate normal maps for the sprites and then using our own custom toolset/shaders for everything else like palette swapping.

Haha yeah that’s pretty much exactly what I’m doing too. Awesome stuff man.

anything new? hope so, I liked that last song

Sorry guys, late on an update!

Version 0.1c is out now! Bunch of stuff on the backend was added including body boxes, new input menu that can take damn near any controller ever, and a bunch of other stuff. We’re putting together a teaser gameplay vid right now and will post again when that’s ready! You can see exactly what we’re working on here: https://trello.com/b/OgXoKtVq/cerebrawl

Not yet! Maybe soon. Mello is in Japan right now! We’ll definitely post as soon as there’s a new track.

I think this game has already one me over in the character department. Both the battle witch and the little wrestler girl seem super cool

Glad ya still at it.

This looks dank. I was on board as soon as saw 2 Mello’s name. So far what I can see is it’s a 2v2 that’s a MvC2/Skullgirls sort of style gameplay-wise. So far so good.

Looking forward to seeing more character designs. A knight with Swat gear is amazing :rofl:

Supers gonna be unblockable. That’s an interesting direction to go for a Marvel style game.

That’s actually a bug getting fixed in the next build. Unblockable supers would be bananas.

This sounds amazing. Assuming you plan to release on PS4 and PC, how likely is there to be crossplatform play?

Yep - PS4 and PC are the likely candidates for release. Not sure about crossplatform, that’s a thing we would have to work out with Sony and Valve probably and we’re not at that point yet. It’s definitely a thing we’d like to look into though!

Getting the main menu and combat UI implemented this weekend

Awesome, the game is turning out really well.
