alf2: current state - insights

Mhm, needs more transition frames.

Is there a way to play with the retro chars? Like selecting them, or have a... switch-skin move. Or are they stage-only?

i still donr get how the retro chars are different from the original ones (except skin)

right now they don't differ at all (except for the lf1 color scheme)
but as they are your opponents in stage mode they may pack a few different moves or other specialties you don't get yourself
but i am not up to that yet

stage mode only

if someone can hex an unlock feature that unlocks these per mastered stage or sub-stage on crazy mode i would love to have them selectable by pressing up or down in the character selection on the respective char
that seems quite a lot of work for simply selecting a different skin
but it would be awesome

next up: dennis knee attack or henry arrow rain

henry arrow rain

For the selection it would be down, cause pressing up takes you back to random

also why don't those bandits attack you?
(it reminded me when I put some chars as the drop weapons - they come in as independent - so you can hit them and they can hit you but they are on your team lol - like friendlyfire being off or w/e)

Yeah,true.Only if the hexer change up function.

They don't attack you as they are counted in your team.
LF2 Julian war 2,has independent templates.And they sweets perfectly with story,as war is between Julian,heroes and templates.

And if you change type of weapons or attacks in t0,they will be with team2 and you can never beat them totally.

How about adding some street lamps? With a half-transparant yellow light effect, it would be awesome... And making them breakable by hitting, and giving a glass shatter effect, etc, etc...

Maybe like this but also needs a little spriting

this feature isn't quite done yet
i don't like the way the arrows spread out
i can't have them in a line like they usually fly because that makes overhead arrows pretty useless
but spread out the way they are now there is a nice blind spot right in the middle
also aiming up or down (z axis) doesn't really work well
and arrows not spawned by the same opoint like hitting each other
lots of trouble but i will somehow manage it

and sorry for the long wait
i just changed my internet provider at home and i'm having trouble getting online since ...
also tinypic doesn't work for me anymore (upload)
so i have switched to postimage.org mirrorimg.net

these look good
but i want to keep the two side streets dark so the lamp in the middle shall stay the only light source illuminating the area
also i don't want to riddle the first stages with objects you can use
(and i have already sprited a lamp from the side for the highway to hell)

next up: freeze firen louisEX JA action or stage 2 trees

[LSwarley]

stage 2 trees ^^ and yw :P we r just - the more or less useless - folks who r satisfacted by the return of u

[bashscrazy]

henry arrow rain isn't working for me.

edit: looks nice
but they seem too slow to do much damage.. maybe they should be launched up higher so gravity can take its toll and shoot it down faster
