My two cents on it is that, while I do prefer Kaiju size for the visual flavour and possible interactions, this isn’t that kind of game. Having the cities be this puny seems a lot more practical in that respect.
Uhhhhh but this is EXACTLY why I’m interested. Every part of it!
See this is why we don’t intend on having any Kaiju playable. When I said that one of the girls has pet Kaiju and someone asked me to let the Kaiju be playable… well it wouldn’t be fun to play as a character that only goes up to the other characters ankles. lol
Detail shots of buildings. It’s coming together.
They’ll have more windows in the end.
Got a discord server up because why the hell not.
Imo they are too big. Being able to interact with the environment and grab and destroy shit/use things as weapons was a LOT of the appeal of classic games like King of the Monsters and Rampage. If it’s all just puny stuff that won’t even be noticed at this point. I would consider focusing on just a few characters and making the stages as brilliant as you possibly can to make the game actually stand out more. That is of course if you make them more interactive. If you want to just go the old boring route and just make the stages eye candy then never mind lol. I would play a lot of king of monsters and *ape *everything I could from that and the one cool stage from tech romancer.
Then I will respectfully ignore your product.
There will be larger buildings that they can interact with. Currently the plan is that they get one unblockable hit from each of them, and each character has a unique way of carrying them.
However I should make it clear that I am absolutely not doing a KotM/Rampage style game. That isn’t the focus.
Some more being worked on.

When populated, the map should look something like this (but bigger)
Love that soundbite
Looks too big…
Impossible.
A damn shame nobody wants to do the electric fence of a King of the Monsters in 3D
it might get rid of everyone’s buzzword problem of “invisible walls” when they aren’t being specific there.

I read that as a complaint in a comment section about Yakuza 0.
When it happens maybe 3 times in the whole game, necessary to introduce something in the beginning, same as almost any game walking thru tutorial, yes they want you to do a small story section now so just go to the checkpoint displayed on the map. Taking the 1 route they defined for the time being. Deal with it, nerd.

So can this game do that instead of the Infinity scrolling of SF:EX or half the Tekken stages? Considering that kind of roped off wrestling ring ropes could create cornering! & on a technical side, also even limit any “pop-up” with having to render the asset background sections again as you move thru a stage.
We could implement something like that as a separate mode.
The levels we’re making do have boundaries, but by default they don’t act like walls. When you transgress the level boundary you are simply declared out of bounds and lose the round.
Hrm kinda wondering what kind of buildings or structures will be usable as weapons when actual skyscapers are only going to their ankles? Seems like wasted potential to me focusing less on the actual environment when it’s a game revolving around these oversized characters. It’s like what’s the point, you can barely do anything fun with your size so it’s becomes even less than a gimmick.
So is this basically Giantess Fetish: The Game?
Those aren’t the usable buildings. Those are just common ones. The ones you can use are larger and go up to their waists.
The focus isn’t really on the actual city interactions. Its more of a traditional fighter that plays around with the theme of giant characters - every stage has interactable buildings, some characters have mechanics that revolve around destruction, and everyone has a super that shrinks the opponent.
Wait, is that an actual thing or are you pulling affinity on me?
Google and see for yourself
