I just mentioned Sony because they tend to accept lots of ideas that other people might not think they will work, like flower. But its true, there is a definite lost in PSN due to Game Sharing, but there are ways to avoid that just like Final Fight did.
Steam is really easy to pirate for what I notice, but it’s not a bad platform at all, still produce lots of sells. So I would love to see the game coming out on all 3 networks, but it might be difficult.
Steam/Impulse or Steam/Gamersgate or all three- yes.
Steam only- no.
If someone’s gonna pirate, they’re gonna pirate. The key is avoid pissing off people willing to pay. Steam annoys a lot of people. Yeah, it produces sales, but it also produces no sales which can be avoided by a second version.
I know for a fact Impulse will charge you $0 to host the game, and for GOO if you use that as DRM.
My suggestion would be Impulse/Steam, do both. Would take very little added effort, and everyone would be happy.
I never said no Steam, just have an alternative for the 10-20% of folks who dislike it, many of whom have very legitimate reasons.
Not going to get into my reasons, since that is way OT (and Steam fans tend to act like fanboys back in the SNES/Genesis days at times) , but enough dislike it that having an alternative is a good idea, and not having an alternative will cost you sales, which is what you want.
Animation is looking really sharp and the way the lighting affects shading really gives the characters an amazing sense of depth. Great to hear Daisuke and Mori love the game. I bet they were taking notes. Haha.
Come a long way since the early alpha I saw ages ago.
Movement’s a little too Arcana Heart-ish for my tastes, but still impressive.
If a commercial release becomes viable, you should seriously ask Ponder or Inkblot about doing something GGPO-ish for the netcode though. Gotta get that delay-style netcode outta here.
Arcana Heart like? the movement? No way, Arcana Heart has a really meh animation unless you mean something else. If I would compared it to something it would be Vanguard Princess, but 2 complete different games, really liking the art style of this game, original in so many ways.
I just saw a video of her, what am I suppose to look? At the animation? I’m not that impress by it. =/
I mean, Vanguard Princess animation impress me, but Arcana Heart animation is not that impressive. Better than GG and BB, but sometimes the characters look stiff. But that is nothing to do with gameplay, just talking of sprites here, so don’t get offended or anything, just opinions.
last i played, movement allowed for airdash and doublejump, not just airdash->jump or doublejump … so a lil diff from GG movement
u can carry momentum easily to neutral jumps, and Dash to Run … how can u say no to Dash to Run
if any1 is going to AX, theres gonna be a playable demo available @ o_8’s table in artist alley
sticks will be provided, if im wrong u can slap me since ill be sharing tables w/ him
