love that game
one of my favorite fighting games
next to Killer Instinct

I don't play fighting games but I know that the big ones are Street Fighter and MK

one of the only fighting games I've played is Jojo Heritage to the Future

Her likeness is based off a model actually

Partially based on Alejandra Alonso

I can DEFINITELY see the influence
especially the haircut
very cool, unusual reference Trey !
spot on !
and the MC ?
he looks like a mish mash of like
so many Noir detective film actors
and Archer from Archer lol 😄
he reminds me of McQueen from Bullitt(getting his hands dirty swag), Bogart from Casablanca(attire), Widmark(with the haircut)
on the set of Bullitt 🤣 :
Producer: steve you need a stunt man to drive the mustang
Steve McQueen: what's a stunt driver

Mike? Mike was a bunch of actors blended together, Christopher Reeves, Guy Pearce, James Mccaffrey and Bruce Willis. Appearance wise that is
balmy iron
ooohhh 😮
Guy pearce
I can definitely see that influence
especially his look in Memento
(great film btw trey, recommend)
but James McAffrey dude
such an underrated actor
needs more work bro
love his voice and mannerisms
Bruce Willis man
such an awesome action star of his day and age
Die Hard is an eternal classic
The Last Boy Scout
underrated Shane Black/Tony Scott film

that would be cool
it makes the game harder

Hey @next oyster , didn't you say at some point there was gonna be a survival mode? Or am I remembering things wrong?

I would try it then immediately not play it until.... forever

Games iterate all the time
Iirc gloomwood had several versions
Shock remake basically was 3 different versions at one point
Usually some code and art carries over but devs will clean up code
Assuming that’s what’s going on anyway
next oyster
Switched from Gamemaker to Unity. Cuz its sexier. Thats why it'll take a lil more time since the trailer.
grim wyvern
I'm not upset or anything, just wanted confirmation from the head honcho

Shaun of the dead is the great OG film
Hot Fuzz is the higher budget sequel that splits opinion (I personally rate it highest of the 3)
The Worlds End is the one loads of people hate except for me and a bunch of other people who grew up in market towns in the Home Counties that have become hostile and indecipherable to us

Jokes aside, the sound effect that played when that mook got kicked in front of the trolley in the trailer was quite well done.

The sfx department though
they did well
even though its an indie game
they dont have a sfx department

they kidnap homeless people and runaways to get the sound effects just right

the first thing im gonna do in this game is subdue and kidnap homeless people and make them fight lmao

that's a bit cruel

Reminds me of how they went about the SFX in Amnesia: The Dark Descent, the guy in charge of it used a lot of tools and such to make the sounds.

I had a special method when making punch sounds
tough drum
Reminds me also of a behind the scenes video you can unlock in Star Wars: Republic Commando where they show for a bit how they made many of the sounds.
Like when the commandos are walking around, they used old American Football gear to simulate the sound of their gear shifting about as they walked.

He just punches dave

after MA Trey is avening George

So FA the punch sounds are a wet rag slapped against a table, some walnuts, punching a pillow and hitting leather

CBT expansion pack for fallen aces

Will there be stealth kills in the game? Like a quick neck break to conserve on ammo?
Or just a chokehold?
grim wyvern
That's a great question
brazen locust
Yes, karate chop knockout
upper wharf
That is awesome lolol
Very pulp action movie of y'all.
Also, are y'all able to disclose the approximate release day for the demo?
My friendgroup is kinda hyped for this game.
brazen locust
Lol we don’t know ourselves, it’ll be next year for sure

Reminds me of really old iron man
latent rock
He looks like the owner of a love making dungeon
That decided to dip his hands in the crime fighting industry
Also I love to imagine that A.C.E.S has all these cool heros like Nightview
Skypeircer
Then there's the main character
Random Detective they hired that one time

He just goes to bars and complains about how hard his job is as a detective

That's one of those older Cybermen from Doctor Who, isn't it?
tough drum
Also, Skypiercer reminds me a lot of The Rocketeer
next oyster
Yeah he’s like a mix of Commando Cody, Iron Man and the Rocketeer
next oyster
Just wait until you find out what SkyPiercer is up to in the present

Any obscure pulp heroes or public domain supes I should investigate?
tough drum
Never heard of this guy before, perhaps one worth checking out?: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spy_Smasher
next oyster
James Bond was a bit of a spy smasher himself
tough drum
True that, yeah.
And just found this one too: https://pdsh.fandom.com/wiki/Madam_Fatal
An actor who disguises himself as an "harmless old lady" to battle criminals.
mighty folio
Isn't it funny how games with "limited" art styles often have the best gore? Triple A peepee poopoo
tough drum
He didn't have any super powers, he relied only on his cane as a weapon as well as his acting skills and how he was a master of disguise.
mighty folio
That sounds interesting
tough drum
Its far more interesting with heroes like this that do not have superpowers and instead rely on the skills they've learned from work and whatnot.
mighty folio
Like the highly memed Kite Man 👀
mighty folio
Iirc his catchphrase is "Kite man, hell yeah!"
next oyster
I like the idea of a disguisey hero
mighty folio
I bet when AI gets better there will be stealth games where you have to disguise as characters
And if you do something out of character the enemies will catch on
next oyster
That’s Hitman
mighty folio
I know that sort of exists already, but not as detailed
balmy iron
Meanwhile Jason Bourne is a complete virgin but kicks more ass than Bond
upbeat kestrel
I hope there's someone like the Spy from Team Fortress 2 then

I thought I had a cool idea for a character but then I realized it looks like the guy from fortnite

YES, I really wanted a flying character

Oh?
next oyster
Let’s see, we got big guy, flying guy, night guy, magic chick, mad scientist, sidekick guy ....prolly need a “fast” guy huh?
tough drum
Preferably someone who uses gadgets to make themselves fast, right?
visual lintel
you need a character that will help the kiddos grow up big and strong
+1 for green giant
next oyster
Preferably someone who uses gadgets to make themselves fast, right?
@tough drum yup
tough drum
It's a lot more interesting when a hero uses ingenuity and such to become a superhero, rather than getting super powers through an accident.
Much like with The Phantom and how they employ this simple but very effective trick of that every male descendant takes on the mantle of being The Phantom and make villains think that this is actually someone immortal they're dealing with.
upbeat kestrel
Comically large fork?
next oyster
Witchazel has had a spear with prongs, does that count?
next oyster
But what if it’s only 2 prongs?
upbeat kestrel
If it stabs and isn't a spear, I'm satisfied
Hey Trey, any thoughts on Unfortunate Spacemen?
next oyster
Never played it
tough drum
What about Disco Elysium? Have you tried that one?
next oyster
Nu uh
tough drum
Ah, okay.
I have played it and rather enjoyed it, especially with the outstanding writing. 🙂
upbeat kestrel
Hmm, shame.
Any idea what your promotional cosmetic could be? Every New Blood game is obligated to have one.
I usually harass Zag about that but he's away
next oyster
Gangster or an Ace card
upbeat kestrel
Okay actually now I have to pitch something to him, thanks
rose spire
How are you going to put Big John in?
upbeat kestrel
Obviously he's a crime boss of some sorts
With his right hand man, Dave "Sick Em" Manski
rose spire
But will he be as hand drawn as the other sprites?
If so, definitely recreate Dave's face like that.
I love the idea of Big John being a crime boss.
tough drum
And obviously, he needs to have that iconic voice too. XD
Can't have Big John without that voice.
balmy iron
I think heroes that use ingenuity to gain superpowers are getting a lot more common these days in media, miss the ol' "I was born this way" superheroes

@balmy iron Well I wouldn't say that. The other devs bust their asses, but I do have lots to show off and appreciate people that follow the game's development and find it interesting.

I "mixed" em. The sounds are from freesound.org but I usually layer them to get something unique
celest wadi
Think Trey mentioned how he did some of the punch sounds
What were the sounds again?
next oyster
Walnut, wet rag, pillow, leather,
Heavy punch is like a bible being slammed shut. With walnuts being cracked and other stuff.
latent rock
I love the behind the scene of making sounds
reminds me of the methods the crew behind Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs recorded their sound effects
it's just so wild that a certain sound is a mixture of many sounds combined
