In Progress Avengers United Battle Force 2.7.41

[O Ilusionista]

Should I change the game title to Avengers: Friendship is Magic? lol

 

[O Ilusionista]

Hey, we got featured here: http://www.rom-game.fr/news/1114-Avengers+United+Battle+Force+-+un+jeu+OpenBor+qui+vise+l+excellence.html  that is pretty cool

We need some help here: We want to do an exclusive stage, like a infiltration on a secret place, where you need to use Ant-Man or Wasp. But I would like to have a third option. There is any other char which can make himself smaller and enter that area?

 

[don vecta]

Wow~! I'm surprised that you brought Sam Santana from a classic SNK fighting game: Street Smart as a mook. That's pretty cool!

And lol to the AOF Ryo's K.O. voices for the mooks, so dramatic.

Awesome video, game's looking seriously gorgeous!

 

[O Ilusionista]

Thanks man.

hey, I managed to make something cool to work, but I don't know if this will be cool or not in some aspects.

See Namor position on the image 1 and his size. Then check his position and size in image 2

he grows and shrink based on his Z position, kinda like Sega's Arabic Fight, but not that hard.

What do you guys think about it?

 

[Thegr8test]

seems like an interesting idea I say if its easy to do definitely add it in

 

[esn23]

that actually is really creative if you can do that with enemies too it would be a great visual for your game and make it more unique

 

[lagarto]

That's nice, but I think you could run into problems with bbox and attack box.

Cool feature, I can remember using such a feature in winmugen 3D stage configs to have nice effect.

About this project, I think you don't need this, It's a little "radical" or something.
The effect is cool, but it's a little too much.

Also this kind of game already uses small sprites, if you scale them down, hem  :-\

So, I'll suggest not to use it.

 

[warecus]

it looks awesome, if it works use it.

 

[bsk]

really cool idea for sure

 

[erf_beto]

yes, it's a great feature, but like ned said, it might make the sprites really small (I'm specially concerned about bullets and small projectiles), so maybe it almost "forces" you to stay in the front.

Also, are you sure all your backgrounds allow this rescaling? Will it look good on all stages?

But if you can do it, and you don't run into any serious problems, I say go for it!

EEEEKK!  : 8)  ;D

Yeah, I its what I think. I don't want to OVERDO the project, and I have a tendencie to do it. I will save this effect for simulating other things, I hope to talk about it soon

 

[O Ilusionista]

Some more progress:

-Namor and Thor have a small super armor, which make they immune to the first knockdown attack, to match the Comics

- New Riseattack for Thor, has more range

-Thor now grabs and execute slams and throws. On this move, he throws the enemy on the ground and hits him with the hammer

 

[ABK]

What do you guys think about it?

I was thinking about using this but i guess stages would have to be similar and would look weird if elements farther from camera wouldnt match the size of resized char.It definitely leads to problem with bboxes and attack boxes staying in normal size.

 

[O Ilusionista]

yes, this is the reason I dropped that idea.

Quick Update: Video showing Thor's new grab moves. The GrabUp move has a followup, where you need to input a sequence of commands to do the combo slam.
Thor updates - Avengers United Battle Force

 

[NED]

Special command? Isn't it a jump then button follow up?
The result is very good.
I want to give some similar system to my 2nd playable character in the future.

Also this BG rocks! Is it from Natsuki Crisis?

Keep it up, bro!

 

[O Ilusionista]

Thanks.
About the command, works like this: you use GRABUP (UP+attack while grabbing) and Thor throws the enemy upward. Then you have few seconds to input D F A to make Thor jump and grab the enemy on the air.

About the stage, I think yes. Doom ripped that stage.

 

[O Ilusionista]

Namor is finally done I am just waiting for the VA to send me his voices.

His other special

and his Avenger Power

Now time to move to another char.

 

[dmolina007]

Wow, Very cool.

 

[Bloodbane]

Cool! I love slams!  ;D

and Thor throws the enemy upward. Then you have few seconds to input D F A to make Thor jump and grab the enemy on the air.

Why don't you use air grab instead? if you do, you have the benefit of using that air grab to grab jumping enemies not tossed by the throw
