  • gillenew Love the way your game is looking!!!

  • procrastinator HA! Thanks! Glad you like the additions. Demo in a couple days!

    mwmdragon Thank you so much!! Kind words like that give me the kick in the pants to work even harder!! And we will keep it up!

    On that note, the demo is done. Releasing on Friday with Webpage and (hopefully) the kickstarter!

    In the meantime, I've been practicing my NES tracker music in my very limited spare time! Here's a little Castlevania cover that gets me in the mood to do much more stuff :D

    Nervous and excited at the same time about Friday... mostly excited :D

  • LemonDROP OUTSTANDING!!!! I so can't wait to see this in action. Your art is fantastic! Have fun with the development and good luck!!

  • Nixel Cut scenes = awesomeness!!! Keep up the fantastic work!

  • procrastinator Thanks! Yeah... I was leaving the dark humor of the comic out completely. Taking itself too seriously. Now it has all the moves. But boss 1 looked like a sissy so he's been completely redrawn (except the hands)...mostly re-coded too!

    Here are some screens of the latest build in action (this is actually from the almost completed demo. Adding all those new moves in caused tons of bugs...)

    DoubleTap Decap!

    Testicular Implostion (look closely behind the zombie in the air for BLUE BALLS :O)

    Up and attack while standing on a head causes HEAD KICK!

    Down and attack with arm causes HOMERUN!!

    The new and improved Boss 1 :O

  • procrastinator Thanks! Been plugging away (despite also working on Go!Go!Maddi! over the summer). Release date is roughly March/April of 2014. I wanted to be done in October of this year but life just has a funny way of saying no.

    Nixel So I've added in a few more moves since yesterday! We now have the addition of:

    1) Double tap direction and attack: Decapitation Dash! Punches off heads etc.

    2) Down and attack while holding arm: Grand Slam Home Run! Hit zombies into air possibly causing eXPloDe!

    3) Grab and Down: Devastating Testicle Implosion! A ball kick that causes total body break down. ***EDIT*** You will see balls fly...

    Also added far more exploding of corpses. Hitting them with an arm when hit points are low causes guts explode...

    Hope I'm making this far more "wet" than dry :D

    Chris

  • procrastinator hahaha! yeah but I've been hardcore on IB now to get the demo and all that other junk out! I haven't touched this in a month. The crab boss is in the old Go!Go!Maddi! which I'm not releasing publicly anymore. But I may use the crab boss in this game as this octopus is too sissy for me.

    retrodude yeah I do all of the art all of the sfx, and about 70-80% of the coding. JayJay is working with me on both projects. He's an amazing friend and co-worker :D I've also started tackling the music for IB... There is never enough time in a day. But I've also coded that pseudo 3d game for another company and now working on another client game.

    If I had the time and money to focus on both games, they'd both already be finished. Before and after I type this reply, I'm already adding 3 new moves to Insanity's Blade. That includes the animation for each. I actually just snuck online to see if there is a tut for double tap direction then button (like streets of rage 2 grand upper cut etc). I have a feeling it's a variable to catch the tap then but and direction if variable = 2 or whatever... If it's not on here it'll be done in the next 30 minutes regardless :D

    Thanks for the kind words and interest as always guys!!!

  • sman118 No problem at all :) And thanks for the support!!

  • sman118 Timers in events, and x/y vector movement. I disable the controls, if player is facing right then x vector -1500 and that knocks him back with a timer 0.3s before allowing controls again.

    For the death hit, there's a bit more to it (this only contains knockback, not slow motion, blood etc.)This code is if player hp <=0 then (set animation blah blah blah).

    Hope that helps!

  • Nixel Haha! Thanks :) Yeah, things get buried quickly around here now. The other game I started is long gone. The original demo was very dry. But it was a beta. The store additions and the dwarf were supposed to spice things up a bit. But after I had play tested stage 1 a million times, I realized it was nothing like the comic. The character is hands on ripping and tearing things.

    Now, every so many levels he will do something new. In the comic he puts he whole arm through the zombies and guts them, punt kicks heads... tons of stuff. I'll try to work some more of the violence into the game!

    I've been adding my own music to the game, we've missed the original deadline of Nov 1st as it's fallen on me to get the rest of the demo music done. The Musician who was working on it before did the title/intro music and the stage music. But the GameOver music and the boss music wasn't done. I've already done the boss music so now I just have to do game over and I might do one other little thing.

    On that note. Website, Demo and Kickstarter will be (hopefully) launching Nov 15th.
