[BOR] _Avengers United Battle Force_

[sky79]

so I will let the borders
Its an original sprite, done by a new spriter. The base is Aquaman from Genesis Justice League game.

And she will be joining the fun:

Tigra, ah yeah! Now thats right out of the old school comic.

You're a good man 

[O Ilusionista]

I've been very busy, but here are some infos about what I've made to the game. Some points aren't finished yet:

Game Manual
This is consuming too much of my free time, but will worth the trouble. Its a page showing each char bios, power grids, all the commands and gives some tips about each char.

Uniqueness
-Each character have different values for attack, defense, speed, mp, mp consumption, mp recover and status change.
-Some chars have double jump, some have fly mode, some will run while some will only dash,etc

Passive Skills
Some chars will have passive skills, designed to give even more uniqueness.

Examples:

Asgardian - Can't be burned or poisoned (still receive damage from the attacks)
Super Armor - He won't enter into the pain state if the attack isn't strong enough.
Natural Leadership - Recovers powers quickly.

New char: Angel

Jhfer is making an AWESOME work on his smartpalette.

[Quickfist]

that sounds Awesome-o!!
It'll feel more like an official game

[O Ilusionista]

Just some quick info:

Namor's sprites are done, and Jhfer already made a wonderfull job with the smartpal, so we can have a lot of costumes (each char will have 4 costumes)

(base smartpal -- Classic -- Sphinx Era -- X-men)

I am studying the idea of to change some attacks based on the palette the char is using. Nothing too fancy, maybe just one different attack.
And there are some cool surprises I will include down on the road, but they won't be avaliable on the next beta.

Working on Vision now. I've been watching Avengers cartoon with my son a lot those days, playing on the Facebook game...so I got a lot of ideas for him.

Vision will abuse of his density change ability:

-His block now just make him intangibly


- When knocked down, he can escape by changing his density



(you can control where he will appear again. The enemies doesn't knows where Vision is until its full tangible again)

- Uses a illusion (not show on the video) to tricky the enemy and goes from the ground to attack the enemies


(the same for his spawn animation)

- Short blasts

[sky79]

My boi V!

Glad to see he's up and running

[kyoman]

Amazing sprite work

[O Ilusionista]

Well, after the beta, I will work on one of my favorite chars:

(her special)

I have some cool ideas for her and she have a lot of potential, so I won't rush to maker her for the beta.

On one of my ideas, she will use her Hex Bolts to cast a projectile which will have random effects, like burn, freeze, poison, blast, etc.


I accept ideas

[warecus]

slow effect

[O Ilusionista]

Thanks to Lagarto, now we have the icon showing which weapon he is using now:



This game me an idea - to make alternative modes for some other chars.

[O Ilusionista]

The arrows works like I posted before, in case someone had missed it:


My idea is to make this avaliable to other chars, like:

Storm: she could choose between Wind Powers, Thunder Powers or Ice Powers
Wanda: She could the magic which she would cast.

About Wand, a little question here. What do you guys think its better (remember that Wanda can modify the probabilities)?

1- She can choose which spell she would cast (like Hawkeye does)
2- Random mode (which I like most). She will make a pose and choose a random spell to cast, with more spells than the previous option
3- A mix of both. The play can choose if they wants to use a Spell System (limited to, say, 4 spells) or Random System (where she can use a random spell from, say, 10 options)

I could do this to War Machine too, he could use a Machine Gun mode or a Heavy Weapon mode.

[Uche_of_IMT]

I choose "3- A mix of both."

[O Ilusionista]

Yeah, I think I will make it based on her palette. Palettes 1-2 will have the first option, palettes 3-4 will have the second.

And about Storm, its a good idea?

[Uche_of_IMT]

No, let Storm have access to all of her weather powers.

[O Ilusionista]

But she will use all her weather powers, the only thing is that you will cycle between the options. Its a menu to choose (like hawkeye) not a "choose only one power".

[O Ilusionista]

(video quality fixed)

okay, I managed to find some time to record a new video, showing some stuff from:

-Vision: Almost done, with his density control system (missing the random density mode)
-Hawkeye: Arrow system
-Beast: some new grabs and aerial super
-Hulk: No invencible armor anymore (still super armor), new special - (missing the rage mode)
-War Machine: fly mode, Gatling gun.
-Iron Man: Fly mode

All the characters have random combo finishes (Vision uses a short blast, War Machine uses gatling gun etc), to avoid the game turn into a repetitive thing.


(I love how OpenBOR handles the water. And those hooks will have a major role on this stage later, which isn't finished yet)

I am aware of that the bios got covered by the char name. I will modify the image, since it seams that you can't put anything over the char name (this is a suggestion to the OpenBOR coders)

Thanks to MGMURROW for the UMVC3 sound effects.

[Uche_of_IMT]

I have to say, the water looks smooth when moving.

[Arkady]

I love angel, looks awesome
great work guys

[warecus]

flippin sweet

[Loganir]

Nice water effect man!
the game looking much better with all these new addictions... in particular i liked the random finishers idea.

[Tha Lando ( Le CROM )]

  oh yeah this is definitely getting even better. as said that water effect looks great and to add i especially love how the camera pans in zoom on the characters when they activate a super like move. that adds more depth and visual flair to the gameplay. awesome idea to use and added it in. the animations look smooth and the combos are sweet touch.  great job !

[O Ilusionista]

Thank you, guys

[O Ilusionista]

Just a quick update: testing some ground cracking effects, likle in MVC

[warecus]
