So, Era, I'm making a fighting game. (Update: Project Cancelled)
- Thread starter Kalmakov
- Start date

The classic arcade game. Many devs have said in interviews that it gave them all the building blocks to make anything.

Cancellation =/= Failure
If they were bought up by riot and (presumably) working on League Fighter, I wouldn't call that a failure as much as a stepping stone.

Online tutorials mostly. Videos on how to use unreal engine and what not

I'm aiming for something that's a bit inbetween. Thinking something akin to the speed of Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom.
I think that might be considered anime

That's actually kinda what I want to go for. I initially thought about doing sprites but low poly cel shading would be more efficient. I'm thinking of making it look something akin to Lethal League Blaze.
Hoping to see more soon, seems that at least visually (would still need to see it animated though) you have that aspect covered.
Characters are a really important aspect of fighting/hero games so you made a good step on that front.
I've always liked fighting games without really playing a lot of them, until recently. I got into KOF a few weeks ago and I've worked my way up to the latest games XIII and XIV which I'm tryna get good at.
All I can really say is, I believe in you. Playing these games a lot I even started getting the appeal of coming up with ideas for fighting games like what kinds of mechanics it should have and how to create an Arcade Mode similar to KOF and come up with fun character ideas.
Just draw from your favorite inspiration both in mechanics and character ideas. Try starting with just a handful of characters that range between fast, medium and slow or something. If you get far you might even want to find artists to help with sprite work or something.
Good luck!

Thanks a ton! And I do plan to reach out to others to help develop the game, but I want to get some footing first.

Thank you! And yes, I will share more character designs as they're being developed as well as some small gameplay details.
Cool! And best of luck! I know from experience how hard is working on games!

A quick late-night update to give you guys some ideas of what's going on with the game!
It hasn't been very long since the last update I did where I revealed Yaminah Yoshida, one of the finalized character designs for the game, so hopefully you'll forgive me for not having anything in-game that's ready to be presented. Currently, the build is still just gray character models hitting each other in a test arena. My goal is to have some in-game visuals ready to present somewhere around Valentine's Day next year!
What I wanted to go over in this update is to give you all an idea of the game's direction and visual themes and identity.
The game, which I have decided to tentatively title 'Panzer Punk,' has a visual style that mixes a high fantasy setting with a military/ war-time aesthetic. Elements that are common in high-fantasy settings (such as the use of magics, dragons, etc.) are present in the world, but with a coat of paint that reflects world war eras.
As far as gameplay details goes, of course not everything is final and anything is subject to change, but I can give you an impression of how I intend it to play. My intended goal with Panzer Punk is to create a fighting game similar to anime fighters or hyper fighters but take the elements that make them what they are and give them a sort of "twist." Air-Dashes, Aerial Ukemi, Bursts, and several other elements are present in the game but all have been implemented in a way that is somewhat atypical for fighting games. I don't want to go into too much detail and spoil some of the surprises.
That's all I have for now, but soon I intend to reveal another character for the game soon!

I can't believe I actually missed this post before, but I will absolutely check this out, thanks!
I missed the your character design when you first posted it OP - you've got a fun art style! I hope your game turns out well.
OP
OP
I should make something clear, the Yaminah art was commissioned. Yaminah, however, was designed by me. The artist for the Yaminah commission goes by Jaya Ply, they're incredible, check them out!
Is Yaminah part Arabic? It's seems like it from the name.
Either way, I like the design. You seem to be going about designing this game the right way.

Love the design! And I'm glad we're still both on our respective first steps into game development when usually all of era goes "you'll never finish anything anyway" :D
If you wanna steal my main character as a secret fighter along the the way let me know :p
OP

Thank you, I'm trying my best! Even if it doesn't pan out, I'll be happy with knowing I tried.
I wish you the best. Making a game is an incredible hard task, and rewarding too. Don't get overwhelmed and press yourself to show progress to the community. It's better if you only show progress or talk the game when you feel comfortable with it.
I'm also trying to make a fighting game in my free time. Have fun making your game!
This is the best attitude that you can have.

Best attitude to have about this. I really hope this turns out well regardless! Just remember one thing.
GGPO. :D

As of now, four buttons; light and heavy Melee attacks and light and heavy weapon attacks. 3f normal is currently the fastest.
Is there a gatling system ala GG or some other kind of chain combos? What's the frame data off that normal on hit and block?
3 frames is pretty fast, so I'm getting versus series vibes.
Way to keep up with this, OP. Very cool that you have char designs and even some grey bodies fighting in a grey box.
Damn, good design! Do you have a Twitter or Insta where I can follow your art?
OP
OP
I didn't make the art for Yaminah in this particular instance. This was commissioned from an artist I really enjoy the works of goes by Jaya Ply! I did, however, design Yaminah!
OP
OP
Something similar to the gatling system/magic series is planned, but in a way that might be different than how you expect. Again, don't wanna give away too much now!
Also, something similar to the versus series isn't far off!

Congrats OP! I've been wanting to make a fighter myself for a long time. All I can do though is creative writing and music haha. I do have some mechanics I've never seen in a fighter before but I doubt I'll ever get to make it. I'm jealous lol.
