[BOR] _Avengers United Battle Force_

Yeah the time bomb is a good idea. However I agree that hawkeye is lacking an evasive shot, just like you mentioned. Maybe it´s to much, but both tese ideas are worth checking out

That is the question: An evasive move is great, but this is exactly how he throws the hyper arrow (and players are totally invincible during the hyper moves). I don't want to duplicate the same motion for two moves.

I could change and make him jump forward during the hyper move, but this would make him too close to Zvitor's version and I want to make things as unique as I can.

[Laforga]

You could try having him just jump up (neither forward nor backwards) and maybe shooting the arrow down into the ground, for the hyper and leaving the backwards leap for an evasive move?
Or perhaps, he shoots the explosive/cluster arrow up (without jumping) thus damaging everyobody on screen, as he doesn´t really need to jump for the hyper move.

[O Ilusionista]

Yeah, maybe he can jump high in place for the hyper move. Also, for the special arrow, he won't jump as much he actually jumps for the hyper move

Jhfer edited some new frames for Madam Maque, over Kimono's excellent edits of Double Dragon Marian
 
This helps to give her more attacks, althought she was not made to be a difficult boss.

[Laforga]

Those look awesome, great fluidity, animations and the gameplay seens addictive. Can´t wait

[O Ilusionista]

Thanks for your constant support

[Uche_of_IMT]

Mind control? That seems to be a staple of Enchantress.

[O Ilusionista]

Yes, there is an history where she really had mind controlled him

[Laforga]

I have been playing the game, with all the variants and everything, and its a blast. You have acomplished nothing short of a wonder in indie gaming, just...smashing.
I have one issue to´debate if you will, I found it hard to pull the hyper move with ease with all the characters. Some were easier than others, dont know why. I dont know if it´s the input, the sequence itself to do the hyper move but in some occasions I couldn´t do it at all, another times when I managed to pull it off I failed to hit the correct side of the screen. Is it just me, or do you guys have an opinion on that?
(Most of the times I ´ve checked the mp bar to confirm if it was full!)

[Laforga]

Yeah.... Anyway, I was just wondering about that...didn´t mean to drive a hole through the conversation!

[O Ilusionista]

ah don't worry - I was busy moving to a new house and I had no time to reply, sorry.

The input is the same for all characters, so there is no difficult change based in input - excluding Wolverine, which needs to use the command while grabbing. For sure, there are different moves which have different ways to hit the enemies - some are easier, some are harder.

A little question about Black Knight


In modes where you can control Black Knight (Boss mode and Complete Mode) while you can fight against it, what would be the best option:

1 - After the defeat, the Black Knight would prove to be a Skrull
2- Before the battle, another enemy appears (probably a sub-boss)

[Laforga]

Well, if it doesn´t affect the story, it´s a matter of opinion. I say the 1ºs one seems a little bit more "story driven" than just having a sub boss.

[O Ilusionista]

Thanks guys.

I've found some time to polish somethings I always wanted to change:

• Soldier/Gunner high pain animation remade (old/new) - ignore the strange colors, its the smartpalette.


• Soldier/Gunner low pain animation remade (old/new)


• Soldier/Gunner extra fall frame (and now Gunner has...the gun on his hand)


• Gunner now has the gun on different color


• Soldier/Gunner has a new dead animation. They will use both die animations, randomly.

[O Ilusionista]

Thanks buddy

Quick video to show a concept I've been working on: a virtual scenario. At first, transitions were made with new images, which greatly increased the weight of the scenery (and the game).

But now it's using OpenBOR's amazing raster effects, so all transitions are done via code
Probably the order of the phases will be random in the final product.

I took the opportunity to show Hercules' new chain throw - which is executed with a command after the previous throw.

[O Ilusionista]

Since the Skrull option had won the poll, Jhfer decided to edit some frames to be used when the Skrull-version bosses are defeated

[O Ilusionista]

Dormammu boss fight idea for a future update (WIP).
How it sounds?

interesting

[O Ilusionista]

I've started to implement FAINT animation to all players, which plays when the player has low HP. To give more emphasis to the effect, the character will blink in red in alternate frames.


Here are some examples (ignore the strange colors, its the smartpal in action) I did manually in Photoshop:

BRAND

(Brand looks she is very pissed off, )

EMMA FROST

(Since she doesn't have a faint animation - she morphs into Diamond Form automatically when has low life, this is her new idle while in Diamond Mode too)

HULK


CAPTAIN AMERICA


HAWKEYE

[Laforga]

Yeah, that´s a nice touch! Little details like that can go a long way for a game.

[O Ilusionista]

Thanks for the constant support

Two more:

Quicksilver


Thor (the hammer emits random sparks)


And Iron Man has almost the same animation, but with the helmet opened.

[O Ilusionista]

Showing Nightcrawler's new "Swashbuckler" mode.

What changes in this mode?
- Combo finishers are now made with the sword (and sharp attacks deal more damage to certain enemies)

- Different back throw deals more damage

- Two new specials
• D, F + A Dash Slash (can be chained with D, F + A again for a second slash or with D, U + A for an aerial attack or even a third slash)
• D,U+A Teleport Slash

- Specials spend more MP than the normal mode

- New hyper - En Store. Faster than normal hyper but with shorter range

And we can also see the new helper - Moondragon.

I hope you guys like and feedbacks are always welcome
