COMBO SYSTEM

The combo system will have a series of linked normal attacks that can end with a special move, sweeping attack, super move, launcher move or ultimate finish (Beast's Fury's version of Ultra Combos). Players can also perform air-attack / juggle combos that can end with a special move/ultimate finish. Juggling limits are also set individually for each character to keep them balanced and avoid over-powering.

Players will have a series of attacks to choose from to make their combos. Everything from Crumples (moves that force opponents to stagger to their knees), to Wall and Ground bounces. Using a mixture of the Linked Combos (Normal moves that are strung together with the right timing) The special moves (Unique to the character) and the Juggle Combos (Moves that are strung together in the air), the player will try to lower the opponent's life bar to zero the fastest. Or, in some cases, lower it enough that they can sit easy on a life lead.

You might want to go more into detail on game features, gameplay systems, netplay, etc. Right now most of the stuff you've shown is mostly aesthetics, so it doesn't really give a good idea of what the game is actually like.

And, not to rain on your parade or something, but I think the art style might be a turn-off for some. Same problem Dust: An Elysian Tale had. ^^;; I personally think it looks good!

I hope all goes well with this project. It looks good so far. If I may add a suggestion on the idle stance of your character, I think the legs shouldn't sway with the cloak the concept character has. He should have a natural bounce, but let the cloak have the greater movement

Thanks for your input I been working on improving the project would you be able to spread the word of the project.

Yeah its in the roughs stage improving as we go.

I dated a furry in college. It's OK, let's all admit it

Was this ever posted on the frontpage of srk?

I really must insist on this... add a bear to the cast.  Their omission from Bloody Roar was a huge oversight.  Also, try including some overlooked species... I think you could get a lot of mileage out of the honey badger, or possibly a binturong if you wanted to get really obscure.

It looks promising so far, though.  It's too early to say how it will turn out, but I already suspect it will be more entertaining than Brutal: Paws of Fury.  I love the phoenix logo; it's very professional.

What plans do you have for the combat system aside from three buttons/three kicks?  Will it be more acrobatic like the early Marvel vs. Capcom and Guilty Gear games, or will the characters be more affected by gravity?  Will there be launchers and wire attacks, a'la Waku Waku 7?  Will there be breakable background objects?  (Please say there will be breakables!) How's the super meter going to work?

Definitely get this promoted on Shoryuken.  Joystiq and FurAffinity might be good places to go to drum up support as well.

ALSO: Final boss, Kesagake.  It used a Japanese village as its own personal bento box and took nearly a week to bring down.  Think about it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sankebetsu_brown_bear_incident

Got a breakdown of how exactly the money will be used? After the whole Skullgirls thing, that amount of money now looks real cheap for a 2D fighting game, too cheap in fact. I'd just like confirmation that this is the exact amount needed to complete the game and not, as some devs have posted in the NeoGAF thread, understated in the hopes that a low enough goal will encourage people to back the project (in the hopes of making more than the stated fund), because a cheap project is a more likely "winner."

PrimalFighter

This game needs finishers.

- Street Fighter got Super & Ultra combos
- Mortal Kombat got fatalities
- Bloody Roar got beast drives
- Soulcalibur got critical finishers/edges
- Tekken got unblockable moves
- Blazblue got Astral finishes

What's next?

Beasts Fury is gonna have to find another way to develop it now.

I really hope your game beats SG.

I really do hope the game has a budget of more than $5,000. Unless off course, you guys are relying on alot of free/voltunteer work.

It'll take a long time to complete.

Who knows. It can be the next Bloody Roar. Hope it'll go 3D someday and throw down the ranks of Tekken & Soulcalibur for once.

PsychoJosh

You're porting this game to OUYA? I'm not sure if that's a good idea. You should watch the OUYA's sales and see if it's a viable platform or not before you decide to port it.

Most of us are working for free or very low pay rate to get this project moving along we do know it a small goal because we are still building a fan base and that the amount is to keep the game afloat for now smaller goals throughout the year are more achievable than a larger amount that will never reach its goal at this time

That maybe so but we are not established already like LabZero is and we have done the math $5000 will cover 3 characters and 1 stage in the end if it gos well we need about $70000 to finish it.

Still sounds overly optimistic, especially for 3 characters. If we follow the actual costs that LZ posted, and take out the bits you most likely don't have to deal with (staff salaries and animation contracting), that's still more than $5000.

$48,000: Staff Salaries - 8 people for 10 weeks

$30,000: Animation and Clean-up Contracting

$4,000: Voice recording

$2,000: Hit-box Contracting

$5,000: Audio Implementation Contracting

$20,000: QA Testing

Unless off course, you're getting everything for free and doing the voice recordings in your bedrooms.

I hope the ninjutsu wolf can be an unlockable. Are there any? As for character ideas for the future, once Beast's Fury is successful. How about...

- Gorilla using pro wrestling
- Hippo using sumo wrestling
- Beetle using vale tudo
- Bull using lucha libre
- Rhino using pankration
- Mantis using mantis kung fu
- Cobra using snake kung fu
- Skunk using long fist
- Rabbit using kickboxing
- Coyote using okichitaw

You don't have to spend anywhere near what Lab Zero spent to make a reasonably complete fighting game character.

That's why I already crossed out a few items.

Edit: There's also the fact that this was the only time in recent memory that a fighting game developer broke down their per character cost. That, and other people within the industry have stated that what LZ is spending is "a steal".

Yeah, I mean, I'm not knocking LZ or SG in any way. If you want to be professional about everything you have to pay for it.

But for a side-project some of those costs are crazy. You could buy a used SM57 for like $50 and hire a local college kid from the theater department to record a voice for you for $200. You might even get to use their practice space for free when you do it. It might not be amazing, but it'll be passable.

Edit: Just realized this has a high probability of derailing this thread, so I'll drop it.
