Side-Scrolling Fighter Example

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Here is a side scrolling fighting game I was working on. It's not complete, but should give you some help with combos and a simple buffering system.  There's minimal comments in the event sheets so if you have any questions, please post them here.  

EXE
CAP

You'll also need this effect file:
Drop Shadow 2

Thanks to ToraLord for updating the controls.

	Glad I can give back something to the community! [quote="abhilash2863":2weu719b]How is Bugs going BTW???[/quote:2weu719b] It's going really well! I'm looking to release a demo soon with missions, a boss battle, upgrades, etc. I mostly have graphics work to finish up before i release it.

	This... actually makes me feel depressed. I wish SO MUCH I could've thought of this. This is BEAUTIFUL. A WONDERFUL execution. How the combo was done, I wish I could do. The idea of the zoom-in for approaching an enemy, how the "blow" animation looks... ARGH. It's all stuff I'd wanna do in my own game. ;_; I just lack the imagination to realise any of it and the talent. This is awesome. The fluid animation, I want animation that nice... Argh. >< This has made me feel inferior now.

	This is brilliant. It will be a great reference if I ever get around to making a metroidvania game, which I would love to do. Thanks for contributing it, UberLou.

	[quote="Kisai":xbamx0c6]This... actually makes me feel depressed. I wish SO MUCH I could've thought of this[/quote:xbamx0c6] It's not really too original, everything is pretty much concepts from other game, zooming, combos etc. I just like to see if I can figure out how to do it too. [quote="lucid":xbamx0c6]have you ever worked on a full game before?[/quote:xbamx0c6] I've tried to make full games in Gamemaker before but the coding always got too complicated for me to work on. I'm not much of a programmer so my "hacky" solutions for things we're always a pain to work with. I've been doing much better trying to make a full game in Construct. It's easier for my brain to handle Bug Army is the farthest I've gotten. [quote="lucid":xbamx0c6]and is this just going to be an example or an actual game...commercial? free?[/quote:xbamx0c6] This was my first attempt at a game with Construct. Once I got into bone animation I stuck with that, mostly to save on VRAM because the amount of animations I wanted to do. So this is now just an example.
