[BOR] _Avengers United Battle Force_

[O Ilusionista]

For now, it will be the same ending for all characters, but I plan to change this someday.

And FINALLY I was able to fix a bug which was on my game for ages - some entities (like flashes) were stuck on the screen forever. I was thinking the fault wasn't mine but a engine bug, but since I am a newbie in OpenBOR, I don't wanted to say this without deep research. But I've found the error is on the engine, not in my codes - its the old First Frame bug, which prevents some codes to be used on the first frame. In my particular case, it was related with the random function, because I like to spawn entities randomly to simulate better effects (something I do a lot in Mugen). Seams that you can't spawn an entity and change its position randomly on-the-fly, on the same split second that you spawn it - you need to put the random code on the entity itself, not on the caller.

After some modifications, this is work the way I wanted to. Because It could be kinda boring to release the game without this.

Anyway, I am working on this almost each day to release a new beta soon. Here are some news:

- The Helper system is finished. You can only activate it once you get the Avenger ID Card. Once you get it, the Avengers logo turns red and animted, showing the command to call the helpers. If you execute the command, a random character comes to help you, and you will need to find another one to call for help again


- Improvements in almost every character. Black Cat has a new jumpattack and both her jumpattack and runattack now connects easily


- War Machine received new grab moves


What is missing:

- Finish Black Cat, Emma Frost, Hawkeye and Namor sky cycle
- Fisish Red Hulk hyper move

After that, I can release the new beta finally

[NX-MEN]

Thats great news man!! 

So next, will be a full game release and not a demo I assume! 

[O Ilusionista]

No, it will be a demo release. I have no idea when the full game will be released.

[NX-MEN]

Oh ok but a demo still sounds awesome to me!! 

[O Ilusionista]

Hammerhead preview + War Machine updates.
He calls for help each time he is alone, making the fight a tad hard. And notice how the logo is animated once you got the Avenger Card, showing the command to call for help.

[NX-MEN]

Nice preview man!! Hammerhead was a great addition to your game!!

[warecus]

 Pure dope

[Laforga]

Heads up, (pun intended!) in hammer head´s info text it states that he is or was a "Maggia" hitman, I don´t know if you had noticed this but that is a typo! It should be Mob or Mafia, right?

[O Ilusionista]

The Maggia is an international crime syndicate. Unlike other prominent criminal organizations (Hydra, AIM) the Maggia are not involved with any subversive activities.

The Maggia is not a single organization but is instead comprised of many independent "families." The Maggia also has affiliations with other criminal groups such as Boss Morgan's organization in Harlem. Several "families" are based in the New York area. Three of these families have come to preeminence:

[O Ilusionista]

Red Hulk is on a bad mood


And, with this move, all hyper moves are done!

[NX-MEN]

Huge explosion by the red fury!!! 

Like the use of the letters there!! 

[O Ilusionista]

Thanks.

Video preview of The Hulks

[Laforga]

Right, my bad then, I did not know of that groups existence...About the hulks, now that´s proper smashing!

[NX-MEN]

Nice man!! U made this video with your kid? U remind the same videos Z is doing with his kids!! U know how to have fun!! 

Rulk and Hulk play excellent and love the interaction of the stage!! I think its the first time I saw Storm in a video!! I like that u are using the SFVX voices!! 

[warecus]

Too awesome

[O Ilusionista]

Nice man!! U made this video with your kid? U remind the same videos Z is doing with his kids!! U know how to have fun!! 

Rulk and Hulk play excellent and love the interaction of the stage!! I think its the first time I saw Storm in a video!! I like that u are using the SFVX voices!! 

Really? There was some old movies showing Storm:

Now I need to make a video showing all the hyper moves

[NX-MEN]

Guess I missed that!! She and the girls look great!

[O Ilusionista]

I want to show something which I think looks pretty cool

I was thinking in how to make something unique for Wolverine sky cycle, since he can't fly at all and I don't want to use Black Bird for him, then I have the idea of make someone holding him while flies.
The question was WHO. My first choice was Angel, but he would require too much edits.

Until I remind of this guy - Northstar

(oh, how cute. Put "My hear will go on" as background music, )
and the good part is that both characters are separated entities, and not just one image. This speeds the process pretty much.
Thanks Doom for the amazing edit

And Thor's dive hammer was improved

[NX-MEN]

Cool idea O Ilu!! Northstar or his twin sister Aurora from Alpha Flight!! I remember if those chars hold hands, they could emit white light!! 

[O Ilusionista]

Thanks.

Quick preview of the new item system - now each item has a different sound and animation, and there is now an item which gives you both LIFE and POWER up (the yellow crystal). Thanks ShockDingo for the amazing voice samples.

[NX-MEN]

Nice!! 

U can iclude that in a training stage in the beginning of the game or a training mode where we can get familiar with the char gameplay and the items/feature of the game!!

[O Ilusionista]

Yeah, I have someting like that in mind

Some more progress:

- All characters now have voices for calling helpers
- I've been working a bit in Iron Man, because War Machine is way better on the game

Revised animations, new animation (attack4, one of the combo ender):


New effects


now I have a little question:
Since Iron Man and War Machine wear armors, should they be immune to slashing attacks which poison the target?
I mean they should receive the damage, but not suffer from the poison (as Thor, Vision and Wolverine does).

[NX-MEN]

Looks great man!!!   

As for Venom moves I replied or should I say better I unsuccessfully replied to the shoutbox hehe!!

[O Ilusionista]

Since its holiday here, I've spent all day working on this game.

Finally I managed to handle the effects the way I do in mugen, so I added small static effects in every eletric move

[Laforga]

Yes, that is a great idea to help differenciate some heroes. Armored ones should be immune to poison, and on the same line why not allow big characters like the hulk to be impervious to fire? To cheap?
Btw, great job on the lightning effects
