Hi there,<\/p>\n

I’m still working on the game! Crazy isn’t it?<\/p>\n

Recently, and after many feedbacks I had, I’ve been trying to rework the fighting system to make it more fun \u00a0and “punchy” (more effects, more feedback), and I also changed a few controls.<\/p>\n

Among other things:<\/p>\n

1 – The character “slides” much less than before when attacking<\/p>\n

2 – Hits trigger a micro-freeze and some kind of vibration feel on the enemy, resulting in a much more convincing power strike. I got this by carefully watching ultra slow-motion videos of Street Fighter. They achieve to convey so much energy to each character move that I spent hours carefully studying how it was done. This was super instructive.<\/p>\n

3 – The super attack now has more visual effects<\/p>\n

A new effect for the super attack<\/i><\/div>\n


\n<\/i>4 – Enemies now have a super attack too, and it can’t be blocked. You can only run away from it. It’s not that difficult when fighting a single enemy, but it gets much more complicated when there are many of them. You’ll have to adapt your strategies!<\/p>\n

Get away…<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Boom<\/i><\/div>\n

5 – I tried to balanced the fighting by giving each attack a possible counter. I learnt a lot about fight system designs on David Sirling website (http:\/\/www.sirlin.net\/articles\/designing-yomi). This guy worked on re-balancing of the old Street Fighter II game. Crazy good work to learn from!<\/p>\n

6 – Blocking now uses some magnetic energy, and you can’t block for ever without moving\/escaping to recover energy. This changes a lot the way to tackle fights.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Sadly, trying to improve the fighting system broke a few things, and I’ll have to balance again attack power, speed and other parameters. Plus, I’ll have to adapt the tutorials in the Bo Dojo one day or the other.<\/p>\n

But anyways! I hope the game keeps getting better and better.<\/p>\n

Peace!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
