letting me clone cards is a silly choice

On a related note, I think making a fighting game doesnt necessarily require one to be good at them, even the game youre making. I'm not "Good" at Battle Craze. But I make judgment calls on balancing decisions based on player/tester feedback, and I think that serves fine enough?

I guess all this is to say I just recognized how important fighting games are to me as a social thing. I know a lot of people who like talking about fighting games, but would never consider themselves "Good." I guess my question is, is that the average player, or is that a niche within a niche?

But like... I'll play them, and enjoy them, as long as I have a friend to play them with (and the skill gap isnt comically off-balance, which isnt too hard when im real mediocre.) Funny enough, I've done T8 ranked a few times, but only because I have a friend who'd like to see me rank up.

But it's also like... SF6 I still dont have a character in it I LOVE to play. I've played Waku Waku 7 a few times this year and that game is old and clunky and stiff. I used to talk about Darkstalkers all the time but vsav is mindnumbingly fast and broken as all hell.

I can't think of the last time I was SUPER excited for a new FG, but I also don't really turn down playing fighters. Just the other day I played Strive after a long hiatus, just did some casual matches with friends, had a good time. I've played Tekken 8 off and on this year, and had a good time.

Thinking outloud after reading Mattrified's latest post and getting me thinking about how much I enjoy fighting games. It hit me just then that my answer is: yes, I enjoy them, despite not being good at them. But, also, I almost exclusively enjoy fighting games as a social experience.

Happy #SpriTuesday! We're gonna shake things up a bit and show a few things with Flint and Tandon before Combo Breaker!

(Do note: Flint/Tandon's anims are WIPs and will be finalized later in development)

#BattleCraze #IndieDev

EXPLOSION!!!! Dana Zane from @sukeban.moe's VA-11 Hall-A enters the Exploding Judo Ring for an official collaboration! She'll be available on April 24 as a free update to the base game! Time to mix drinks and change lives... with A BEATDOWN! #gamedev #va11halla #FGC

I appreciate that! For me, its not about a game that matters to the FGC, its about making art that matters to anyone!

POS Saga Turbo

I should officially add this to the list. A cool RPG maker game made by Soap and Rick featured my character making a boss of, what else, Block Fort. When it came time to make a copyright-free variant, I of course had to draw this enemy myself.

gdi how did i forget this one lmao

Advance Wars By Web

Nearly forgot about this one. I like Advance Wars a lot and I had a group who played it very sporadically. This was good for a laugh.

Honorable mention: A Super Smash Bros Ultimate stage that is lost to time, given I lost my switch 🙃

PicoCAD2

I posted this recently! It's cute.

Raft

That same group also banded together to create Block Fort as a raft. This one was a little more of me building while the rest worked their asses off to get the resources, because it was a beast to make! Once again, Soap catalogued it: pos.moe/forum/index....

A full-island version!

A massive undertaking in which I and 3 friends (including @kingrick.bsky.social) each took a color and made that entire section as a large building with unique interiors. Thanks to Soap for the shots, from pos.moe/forum/index....

Dragon Quest Builders 2

Just a cute little thing I did on a friend's island. Which resulted in...

Killing Floor 2

Someone had already beaten me to vanilla Block Fort by the time I did this, so I came up with an adjacent design. Uses some unique retro-style graphics I made and adds a fair bit more pathways. Probably my favorite take.

Unreal Tournament 2004

Another Deathmatch map, this time with a bit of theming, as well as a bonus interior that is more or less an inverted version of the exterior.

Team Fortress 2

More or less lost to time, this Arena map exists purely as a couple of screenshots in an old images folder I have on my webspace.
