FightYourself

[Trist3D]

Will there be an Arcade mode?

[Camewel]

Stop giving me design choices of minor things at this point. We'll figure out stuff like modes much later on, after we have characters under control.

[Qcode]

...

[Trist3D]

MUST...RESIST...QUESTIONS....
Will the program also let you make stages, or will that be separate?
SHUT UP BRAIN.

[Camewel]

Stages will be a separate thing, and I might even include an in-game stage creator, a la Brawl.
I would also like to submit that the fightyourself chat room is a pretty decent place.

[TheJonyMyster]

Am I allowed? If I am, I'll get right to work.

[Vyper]

This seems like a decent idea. I'll volunteer to do some art.

[Bonko]

Can I be a character in a UFO?(Instead of a floating head.) Someone else would have to do the sprites, since I cannot sprite.

[Trist3D]

(Someone should stand in front of a green screen and make a character IRL.)

If you can't sprite, you can at least do a rough drawing of how you would want to look. Would help the spriters for reference.

[TheJonyMyster]

How big should the characters be?

[idiot9.0]

For right now, according to the OP, around 100x50px big and done in Kiashi's art style. But for right now, Camewel's writing a program to help with it so don't make something too intense.

EDIT: I'd also suggest putting the chat room link in the OP so those who are interested in helping can find it easier.

[Assasin-Kiashi]

With the animation, do you mean like we create each body segment like shins, thighs, torso, head, etc, and you then use some sort of code you later invent to animate them? If so hopy shet thank you.

[Camewel]

Yes, that is exactly what I mean, ;)

[Assasin-Kiashi]

also are each segment 100*50 or is that the entire map of the body parts

[Camewel]

That's just a rough guide of what an average person would be sized, all parts put together. Some people will probably be bigger or smaller (hi renhoek).

EDIT: if in doubt, make it too big. Big to small looks much better than small to big.

[popcan12]

I totally think this should collide with the Twatter Story character's, so I want to be in as CS.
Edit: Here's a clue of what he might look like

[renhoek]

I totally think this should collide with the Twatter Story character's.
*quick paper drawing*

I don't think many people would make the connection. plus I read in other topics that it's not been very good recently.
also if my character does get in he should be called gabe not renhoek since that's his name.

[popcan12]

Then, he'll just be another guy. Quick paper drawing I GOT THAT FROM THE TWATTER STORY FORUM! That drawing took me 5 minutes!

[Assasin-Kiashi]

?

I don't even know.

[Jorichi]

Looks awesome.
Not sure how the whole 'loose body parts' stuff is going to work out though.
I'd need to see it in action to get more of an idea.
For now it sounds like it would look like a rag-doll fight.
But either way, when it's decided and I have some more instructions to go on, I can start creating my character.

Something like this is likely going to be my character:

Just a concept for now.

[Legend_of_Kirby]

Behold:
Crap!

[renhoek]

I don't know what the size is so I just decided to make gabe's sprites large so they can be re-sized if things are going to be smaller.

(linked because of how big it is.)
I don't think it's very good myself (because I'm a self hating ass) but I tried to make him look cartoon like.
I'd appreciate any feed back.
- top body parts
- middle eyes
- bottom mouths

if anyone feels they can do better they can go ahead.
He he this is why simple designs are awesome.

[Camewel]

Assassin's sprites look pretty good and I'll make some derp animations to show you what I mean.
Ren's are okay as concept art but we really need some unified art style before everyone spends time making things.

[idiot9.0]

Well other than Kiashi most of it is concept art, so it mostly can be reworked when we do decide.
I really like the style Kiashi made as well.
(I also still suggest linking the irc in the main OP)

[Hatninja]

...
cool

[Legend_of_Kirby]

Any feedback on this?

[HAPPYFACES]

So if I were to join this, should I choose a different design other than my black-white split? Found out in Mari0 as soon as I made it that the sprites would be mirrored and white will never be in the foreground... So maybe I should. .-.

[Camewel]

Here's a character roster. If you're not on this and you want to be, post here. If you are on this and you don't want to be suck it up post here and I'll convince you to stay in take you out.

Don't be offended if you're not on it, I probably just have an awful memory.

[Mr.Q.Marx?]

I know I haven't really got a character or anything but can my question mark have a cameo in a street level or something? If that's ok?
I know you probably don't have a level roster yet, that seemingly being the last thing most fighting games do but I thought I'd ask now.

[Legend_of_Kirby]

Yes! I'm in. I'm gonna work on it tonight if my brother doesn't steal it that is. ( No, not mari0rocks. My other brother, he has: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_Magenis_syndrome

[Legend_of_Kirby]

Sorry, but here's some new sprites:

[Shadowlord]

I think kirby should be in this game:

[HansAgain]

I want to be in.
just let me do some sprites of my character (i have my character yet)
< not this.
i changed my mind.

[Bonko]

Also we should require an original character from a person if they want to be in, so we don't see 34 Marios, 23 sonics, and 1 scott pilgrim in the roster.
(That might hinder people from using ponies too if we do put that into effect)

Shadow do you not pay ANY attention?

[Shadowlord]

OOPS I may have skimmed over that part.....

[Legend_of_Kirby]

Why do you think I had to change?
Also: STATS for my character

Attack: 4/10
Speed: 8/10
Defense: 2/10

[TheJonyMyster]

In chat room, we decided I would be the test dummy that people test they're moves on, so I have no stats, just sprites.
Which I'm working on.

[Legend_of_Kirby]

Character Icon:

[Pyrosaur]

I'm flattered that I'm already on the roster, and I'm definitely interested in participating. Of course, I'm a terrible procrastinator, but the way the sprites are being done will make it a hell of a lot easier for me. I'll get started on my sprites once I'm finished with the All-Night Stabyourself ones I've neglected to work on.

[TheSeek]

Why do you think I had to change?
Also: STATS for my character

Attack: 4/10
Speed: 8/10
Defense: 2/10

Those stats are completely out of measure for any kind of fighting system...
In a basic fighting system where there are 3 stats with 10 levels each, a basic, normal balanced char would have 2 stats at 7/10 and the remaining stat at 6/10, wich means that:
You would do very little damage to any char who has at least 7/10 defense.
You wouldn't have enough speed to be much faster than a char with 7/10 speed.
Any char with at least 7/10 attack would crush you in just 3 hits.

Stats need much more planning, and as long as Camewel doesnt tell(or set) how the balancing system will work, any planning is pretty much useless.
Also, to have a well balanced game, Camewel should be the one who gives stats to each char, based on descriptions of how each user wants his char to be.

[Assasin-Kiashi]

edit made, forgot to seperate the upper and lower torso... I'll work on an icon and possible maybe a tutorial on how to semi replicate the style?? idek.

[Camewel]

I'm a little worried at quite how much effort Kiashi is putting in already and to everyone else, a sheet like that is what you need, not to just cut the arms off your sprite and call it a day.

Stats will be done much later on (like most things people are bringing up) and throwing numbers out of 10 at me doesn't help.

Jony, that chat room is rarely serious and ever rarer still relevant, so unless idiot or I are there you can probably disregard all messages as jokes.

Don't worry to much, I've honestly been doing stuff because I have to much time on my hands and not enough to do. Also some people are working on other things as well. This has only recently started, so try not to stress.

[Jorichi]

Well, made this quite fast... Let me know if there is anything wrong with it.

I added a soda can because... y'know... my personally flavored soda won't market itself...

Idiot was there, and I like the idea of a training room.
