Random Armored Core trivia:
You didn't understand the meaning of pain in AC2 until you met Werehound in the arena.
He was a canonical smurf that willingly stood at place 42/50 just to kill noobs. His AI was much stronger than all ACs before and of some of those higher than him.
"RPG Maker XP. It's in the name. It's made to make RPGs. Right?"
2010 Andrea: "Yes."
"Good. Do you see "Megaman Zero" written anywhere?"
2010 Andrea: "Yes."
"Goo... no, wait what?"
... I might have found the Italian equivalent of Dong Dong Never Die. I won't elaborate further. [Game: Mareo GO Kart Galaxy Strikers 40/5 (*yes, this is the title*)]
What even is this game.
Why does this character have special to special cancels tied to a resource.
How did they code them in 2DFM02.
Why is Mario Akuma.
Why.
Which character sold you a fighting game? With that I mean, have you played a fighting game just because of *one specific character*? I'm interested in both AAA and obscure or indie titles! I'll start: I picked Soulcalibur for Nightmare, Tekken for King, and FateAxis 2 for No.4!

Solo developer life:
during game development, a HUGE chunk of the time will be devoted to implement features that every player takes for granted (menus, save system, input mapping, options) but are EXTREMELY annoying, time consuming and unsatisfying to create.

My first published fighting game was a low poly 3D fighter.
My second FG was a hellish finger twisting nightmare for execution nuts.
My third FG was a chaotic shitpost drawn with Paint and moved by 2DFM02.
My fourth FG was a one-grab-KO fever dream.

people, game dev question: how much would you pay for a game like this?
* 26 characters (+2 bosses)
* 35 stages w/ diff sizes
* 5 types of Arcade w/ canon endings
* 5h story mode
* tutorial, training, trials
* Local vs
* ~5 skins per character
...but no online modes?😅

In my research about the significance of fighting game story modes, and after having played DoA5LR, I think I can provide a very easy to follow schematic of most character interactions. Let me know if it is accurate, because I might have mixed up some stuff🤔
Do you like monsters? Do you like tokusatsu teams? Do you like disasterrific heroines? Do you hate grinding and random encounters in RPGs? 8-Colors Star Guardians Plus might be the game for you ;) Now available on Steam and Nintendo Switch!

I've heard of a cool fighting game that was planned with a 2v2, 4-players mode as its core tenet *for more than 6 years.
While waiting for Project L, what about trying out the precursor who developed this idea first?😌

MerFight and Schwarzerblitz have an interesting crossover history: MerFight got an Evilobster costume for Gamma, and Schwarzerblitz got a Drargos costume for Skeleton - that said, this doesn't change who is gonna throw whom😏 (link below)

Thanks to the fine folks at The Community Lab, I have put my hands on an old, semi-forgotten Japanese 2.5D fighting game with 3D environments called FateAxis 2! It's a bit janky, but - boi - the combo system is pretty interesting🤔 triple air dash, OTG into launchers...🤔
Since YouTube links keep on getting suppressed, I think I'll break my own rules and double post the ExploJudo trailer, this time in a practical embed ;)

I need help with identifying an old doujin game.
* 1v1 bullet hell with spaceships. Had lifebars and rather big hurtboxes
* 2D pixel art, top down view
* Completely in Japanese
* Had 7 characters, 4 of which to be unlocked
* The 2 bosses were a guy with a silver mask and a ninja
Question to all fighting game players: zoners and grapplers seem to be the most reviled archetype in casual circles and/or are the subjects of many a scrubquotes. Do you have an explanation for this? Mine is that...

Do you think simple inputs in fighting game aren't the solution? Then, come and play Motionsickness - we have *half circle forward into pretzel* and *charge up charge down QCF* supers!
#indiedev
#FGC
#gamedev
Hello
#PitchYaGame
! In this age of fighting games reneging on motion inputs (gasp!) what about an utter bastard of a game with PURPOSEFULLY HARD MOTIONS, such as double charge or half circle forward into pretzel? If your answer is GIMME, you are ready for Motionsickness😎
I still can't emphasize enough (and never will) how incredible is to see someone cosplaying as one of my characters 🥹 I would like to show these pictures to 10-years-old-me to see how he would react to seeing that "MYSTERY JOHNSON IS REAL!"
Okay, ready? This is going to be a long thread.
Fighting games have some... interesting showstoppers, when it comes to low budget. You either pay with money or with time. SCHWB was paid with time. Now, let's break up what makes them hard to build on a budget...🧵
@AndreaDProjects
Also, how do sales/revenue compare to your FG projects.
Can this short term/low budget approach work with your FGs as well?
(I can keep going lol. I'll hold off for now)
Schwarzerblitz v1.6 - release candidate is available in the Steam endless-beta branch for testing! This is the last stretch before publication, so every scrap of feedback is precious! Featuring a new character, version select and new juggle system!
Schwarzerblitz is finally out on Steam! A love letter to 90s low poly fighters, 24 playable characters, 4 hours of story mode, arcade, time attack, survival, you name it! Download it for free and RIDE THE LIGHTNING!

Coming from a fighting game developer it might be weird to hear, but with time I came to realize I somehow *hate* balance patches that are issued too early in the game's life, unless it's to remove blatant issues like unwanted infinites.
I was looking forward to Dinos vs Robots fest on Steam for RoboDunk to get some sales, and it doesn't fit in any of the few categories.
Shooter, platformer, horror, survival... Sigh.
Please tell someone about it, it's really fun.

How I learned to make fighting games:
- found no online tutorials
- played a lot of Tekken and Soul Calibur as a casual
- crammed that experience together with some low poly blender stuff
- tried to fill the blanks myself
- POW, Schwarzerblitz was born!
How i learned to make fighting games:
Look up a bunch of platformer tutorials
Look up a bunch of melee combat videos
Watch fighting game fundamentals/mechanics videos
Put em together. POW. Archus Chroma.
I have zero regrets. After spending some more time with this Schwarzerblitz mod and finally completing it, *don't ask me for sh#$!*😂
