two button throws are just a way to universally weaken throws… so I like one button. Plus I like in older SF games where most of your buttons throw and you can choose between option selects.
so many indie fighting games makes me want to make one. i got tons of designs and a clear direction in my head but the real obstacles [coding/art] are such a drag
Coding is something I can manage. With a decent D&D program like Game Maker, and several event and script trick I learnt, I can program a decent fighter. I just can’t draw for shit, at least not when it comes to human anatomy and perspective. If I draw a hand, it’s either flat or closed and it’s facing either front or side. I’m thinking of using existing animations/sprites as a reference, which will make the game have recycled animations from a bunch of other fighters, kinda like Injustice.
I feel with this new SF4 update, TxSF, and the new GG, all these indie fighters will be criminally overlooked. I’d hate to put a ton of work into a fighter only for no one to give a shit…
well i’m working on some preliminary art with a friend.
can’t wait to hammer out sprites then try to convince a coder to help me dohoho. i feel like having the visuals beforehand would make programming the character easier.
and i have no idea how to deal with 3d models.
we’ll see how far i actually go on this project… i feel like it’d be a nice thing to work on, even if it won’t be a success.
i also feel like everyone who likes em goes through a phase of wanting to work on a fighting game, figuring out the effort needed, and then just be put off.
That type of risk comes with the territory when it comes to developing indie games, and it’s totally understandable. It’s frustrating, having an awesome idea in your head, but not being able to bring to life because EVERYTHING about making a game is so damn expensive. However, if Mike Z or Shiza would have let those insecurities and frustrations get the better of them, we wouldn’t have great games like Skullgirls and Yatagarasu.
Nothing like insulting GG to bring out your inner Filipino. Imgine if he had insulted MvC2 - people gonna be going out to the streets, demanding the ouster of the president and shit.
