I'M BACK! Thanks to @
Vadsamoht
And I've got coffee! So let's get straight to it, I'm not a liar or trying to dodge anything, I sincerely assumed I was banned, you guys started talking negatively about the indiegogo before I came to announce it and my account didn't work anymore so I just thought someone got offended by the project and didn't want me here so I didn't try to fight it. But turns out it was a terribly timed technical issue. So now I'll reply to a million comments in a non chronological order.
What on Earth happened to his account
The current scientific theory is that somehow I modified my email in my account with a typo? I don't recall trying to change my password recently but whatever happened or whatever I did, @
Vadsamoht fixed it so we're good.
he could have logged in as
@beastsfury no
Nope, that's not my account, I'm the current game's programmer, that's the producer's email.
I don't think these people actually want to make a fighting game
Sure we are :) Maybe not one you like or think will be good though.
What would Jontron be, a green-cheeked parakeet like Jacques? I think there already is some bird person thing. ... Did Egoraptor drop out?
Lol Jontron's bird would be funny but no he's not involved with us at all, and Egoraptor has been silent recently so that might be off, also not sure that HE would voice it even if the characters is in. I personally prefer our original roster than cameo type characters but Benny is cool and will fit nicely.
I'm not aware of that, there was one before I joined I think, the demo funding one and now this one to continue with the full game. The other ones were pretty small amounts, even the demo one with 45k before any fee and rewards, if you make calculations, it's like 3 weeks of work for 4 people with a pretty basic salary. Most of it went into animating. I got a portion to build the code/engine and all, but it's all pretty bare minimum as far as money goes. That's the part I don't understand with the criticism about our funding, it's not like we got a lot to work with haha and still doing our best. For the full game we're partnering with animation studios that don't cost as much as individuals we worked with in the past. Should be able to release details about that in the near future.
That's right, not good enough to seal a great deal, basically the less convincing what you propose is, the more risky it seems (totally normal) and so the worst the deal gets, less funding is offered but usually also more % of sales to the funder/publisher.
A crisp $1 bill says that they mean this in the, "I once said hi to Arnold Schwarzenegger," kind of way.
No, company names you'd know, one in particular came real close. I don't think I can legally drop names here though. There were also other deals with purely funding companies but they usually want a pretty steep revenue share in the end. Like one wanted us to make a mobile game instead hehe.
I wish you best of luck, you're going to need every last drop of it
Probably true :) As far as wasting money talking to publishers and youtube people? No money was spent there. And if anyone are pissed at wasted moeny it's us! Like I said above, the money we gathered so far is not THAT much, do the maths, it's nothing! And we still have a decent demo/prototype/whatever you wanna call it. It's not standing up to scrutiny but we certainly have a pretty good framework now to proceed ahead turn it into something great.
This new Indiegogo represents the absolute self-destruction of their project, ESPECIALLY if it gets funded. If you respect any of the people working on this game, or the effort they've put in it so far, do NOT support this!
You're saying the project fails especially IF it's funded? And respecting the devs and team by NOT supporting us being able to keep working? Can you explain that? Not sure I understand that logic.
I'd love for this project to just defy the odds and soar as high as possible
That's hard to do if we don't get a bit of love :D
You should be able to help it, I know you were just cracking a joke but it applies to everyone who come with an attitude, we're the ones doing the hard work and risking our livelihood, all you have to do is sit back and watch how we succeed or fail, but there's really no need to be condescending to us, especially not to me lol. I work on the project and doing my best and hoping we do succeed in getting necessary funds to go ahead. Right now all the updates are done on my free time for free and same with the animators and we all have families and bills to pay, so the least you should do is be civil regarding our efforts, even when criticizing them, seems fair right? :)
I wonder if evil dog is still working on it or if he wised up and went on to better things
Both, I'm working on an action multiplayer game (almost done) and still doing BF updates for free on my free time. Integrating the missing Don moves was part of that, integrating his new shaded sprites and gradually fixing mechanics.
you are going to have to do a shitload of work to alter your current trajectory
Here's the thing, Mike Z had the great advantage of being the one with the indepth knowledge so it was brain to code, but I'm not, I'm still learning, the game designer knows all that and I'm the one who must translate that into code and playable mechanics, I have this huge todolist with all kinds of mechanic fixes and missing things, a few I've seen in your list as well, so I took your list and I'll review it. Thanks.
This is actually seriously helpful in general.
Definitely
OH AND YOU CAN'T CANCEL SPECIALS INTO SUPER. Supers can only be combo'd into from normals that are already special cancellable.
Like Mike said, most can't do it but Vincent can, that's his special thing, special to special canceling, especially in his fury mode. He can unleash hell.
If he's gone, then who the hell am I supposed to passively throw my argumentative comments at?
I'm here baby, lay it on me!
no I cant read, Trial mode is the stretch goal not training mode, ooooops <3
Bwaha, I accept your shameful love
A "training mode" is already in the demo, but it can barely even be called one
Yeah the training mode is shit right now.
well he says he'll come talk if he can get a new password. I'm not sure what reaction they expected, I don't think we're having a particularly unique reaction.
And what does it have to do with my account not working? We did expect that exact reaction.
It's know-how I'd expect from just about every forum user who doesn't work with computers and communicate with people over the internet as part of their job.
I'm not a forum person, it's almost the only forum I come to. And communicating with people on forums is not part of my job at all lol but I still do it cause I'm a nice guy :) Besides, the timing of this really seemed like a ban so I wasn't exactly trying hard to come back here, but since it's a misunderstanding, happy to be back in the meat grinder.
If I was in Evil's shoes I'd likely be responding in exactly the same way.
Good to know I'm not going bat shit crazy.
Back to the topic at hand, does anyone have more info on this 100k prize?
The data gathering portion of it is still going until June 16th, then the judging starts. I've gotten some emails with some stats, if amount of data is a big factor, we have zero chance. I think there's some pretty big game pulling a lot of people in that contest cause the total data count was very high compared to our own numbers.
Robot's Fury? haha
Phew! All caught up! Daaayuuummmm....
