A new shader test using a really simple cell-shaded matcap style for #Gigi from #MerFight. I'm...tempted to go w/ it, if not for MerFight, maybe #CupKick but we'll see...probably looks bad on other characters, lol

Need to fix layering / Z fighting but got costume swapping in #CupKick surprisingly...
#screenshotsaturday
Got outfit swapping working in #CupKick -- a lot easier than previously thought...idk why I had trouble w/ swapping item pieces in the past...I need to figure out an easy way to "layer" clothing better so it doesn't intersect so much...
Put in a humanoid character; I def. like it more.
Biggest issue is I feel I need the "lighting" to be consistent on characters or follow the camera or something...idk...

#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #fightinggame #fgc
#CupKick update. I'm liking the sort of soft "toy" look of it now. Experimented with the match in a "real" environment; it will need better layout tools.
Stage transitions will need some camera takeover nonsense or something too.

Went back to experimenting with #CupKick shaders and found this video -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jhd_... -- which had me like...maybe it's more of a lighting / color issue than shader issue...idk 100% but I don't *hate* this...

Not perfect, but I was able to hit my NYE deadline for a #CupKick #Patreon build -- www.patreon.com/posts/cupkic...
(Reupload)
Demo of Rollback working in #CupKick. I *may* miss my NYE deadline for the Patreon build; I need to fix P1's outfit since it doesn't do the flashing / highlighting. I think I broke the texture or something
AND I need to make sure all attack data is defined...somewhat properly...
Updated ringouts #CupKick in CupKick and also added the ability to "restart" when in training mode.
Needs a lot of finesse, but since I don't want a hud, I was thinking of having pop-ups like these when certain in-game events like Parries and Throw Breaks occur in #CupKick
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #fightinggame #fgc
Needs a lot of finesse, but it's a start for #CupKick "ring outs"
* Probably won't use that animation for the ringout itself
* Need to apply the "spinout" after hitting the ground and break a piece of armor.
* Make the opponent jump
* Fancier camera anim but not for this build...
Throw breaks are in #CupKick!
I need both VFX and other information displayed, and I think I have a fun idea how to do that...I'll have to prototype it...but...I think I have most of the features I wanted before the patreon build before 2024
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #fightinggame #fgc
So, using SC6 as a guide, I sort of got guard impact working in #CupKick.
Tho it quickly made me realize I need VFX sooner rather than later, lol. But you can GI during block but not during hit.
Also have a simple system for training mode dummy to do various combos and whatnot, which is nice.
I'll make a video later, but I sorta got guard impact working in #CupKick last night.
Idk if I really like it yet but it's something...
I think I'm having a hard time w/ the post guard impact timing...
Probably should just record some Soul Calibur 6 footage and go from there.
The main features I wanna try to implement for #CupKick before a build...
* Training mode actions -- more so I can more easily test things myself but important in general
* Guard Impact
* Attacking while blocking
* Fix the throws / throw breaks
Made a reel compiling #CupKick progress over the month. Hoping to have a #Patreon build out before 2025. It'll be super early / busted but, just something to get an idea of it starting. Probably gonna do training mode stuff like training mode resetting at least.

Still no ring outs / stage transitions, a bigger feature, but I do have wall breaks working...not sure I love them yet and obviously will need some big reaction to telegraph a break, but it's something.
#CupKick

#ChristmasEve
Welp, no ringout, but I at least got wall splat sort of working...need a way to make it so it doesn't go on forever...have an idea based on the combo counter or maybe wall splat count? Idk...
Also I had to redo the physics -_- yay...
#CupKick #gamedev #Indiedev #indiegame #fightinggame #fgc
More #CupKick progress; have juggling working decently as well as damage redistribution during combos
(not a final combo)
Also made data defining a bit easier; pure algorithm wasn't working. I just needed before formatting on my objects.

Early #CupKick #Screenshotsaturday -- got "dodging" starting, like high attack missing crouching opponents for example as well as a start to juggles.
I'm def. gonna need to setup some algorithm to config attack data, probably based on like start-up/active/recover, etc.
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
I got cloth sim stuff working again but eesch that was a pain...it wasn't working on my one character for some reason but works when I copied them from another scene and worked on the left-most fighter...so idk...i'm done for the day, lol
#CupKick
I sorta wanna go back to BH2, lol
Stripes feel a bit too much. I wish there was just a way to negate the destination color but that feels a bit post-process-required and not really wanna do that...
#CupKick
Got damage preview re-implemented for #CupKick; I need to work on how it looks how..not sure if I love the red outline thing; might try a few other concepts.
Been working on #CupKick for a bit, so I wanted to do a 🧵 about its design.
One sentence pitch: CupKick is a silly, dessert/food-themed 3D Fighter with no UI, focused on varied environments.
#fightinggames #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
#CupKick full rematch look working; there is no character select so idk why that's an option but there you go.
I think I already have quitting a match working, but I need to handle that as well.
I'll do a design thread tomorrow or later tonight, lol; lost track of time refactoring this, lol
It's no VF, but in #CupKick, once you lose all 3 "armor" areas, you still have a final chance to comeback but almost any single hit will KO. Still need to play w/ the slowdown effect as well but it's gettin' there.
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #screenshotsaturday #fightinggame
The word "Whipped!" written in a paintstroke like font. The dot of the i is manipulated a bit to look like whipped cream, and the dot of the exclamation point at the end looks a little like a wire whisk.
Instead of "KO" I was thinking of putting "Whipped!" on screen when someone is defeated for #CupKick.
Whipped like whipped cream; whipped as beaten...realize that means with a whip so...maybe I'll go back to the drawing board w/ it though...we'll see...
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
So got...
Player Pose Intros ->
Match Intros (Oh, I got some goofy match intros) ->
Match
I still need like KO / match outro moment
But button config is in!
#CupKick
#gamedev #Indiedev #indiegame #fightinggame #fgc
Is #CupKick almost done preheating? No, but I do have the menu flow and pausing now work as well some difference between training and versus mode!
Before Monday, I'm going to try and get a vertical slice - match intro, outro, etc. - working. Probably do a #patreon build
