Hi everybody,
Here's a small but fairly polished thing I've been tinkering away at in the evenings for a few weeks or so :)
For literally years I wanted to make something like this, but lacked the knowledge regarding how to manage persistent mech/character customisation that's also easily scalable and editable. So I finally figured out how to manage this kind of data, finally learned how to program controller input, and, by some miracle, somehow made enemy AI that behaves pretty well.
Main inspiration for this was Armored Core 4/4A - specifically the 1-on-1 matches. There's something about the sleek and high-speed (and high-tech) style of mech in that continuity that I just really wanted to try to capture in my own, much more limited retraux way.
Featuring:
- Clunky metallic sound effects!
- Cool swishy sci-fi UI sound effects!
- 2D pseudo-3D, a bit like this!
- 4 Stages to fight in, with parallax scrolling!
- 10x mech parts of each category to be unlocked!
- 4 Teams to join at new game start, affecting your stats and starting unlocks!
- Male & Female voices for enemy mech pilots! (I've got processing text-to-speech through radio filters down to an art!)
- A settings menu!
- Tuning! Spec your mech so it behaves just how you like it!
- Secret local multiplayer - DMC3 style!
