One Hit KO

Here's a 1v1 fighting game I'm working on.

Here's a (horrible) video made from the gameplay:

I've ended up not really having time to do game development but I still wanted to make a fighting game. My other project Gosu Warriors is a little too ambitious for me to be able to work on at the moment so I tried setting the bar low. I've set up some limits to the game development:

* Cage stage
* 1v1
* Pixel art with pixel perfect hit tests. White is hit frames, black/colored is hurt frames.
* Using JSON instead of scripting character states as much as possible
* Don't think too much
* Don't learn anything; use what you can already do

These limitations were set up to avoid any kind of time consuming technical challenge and see if I could manage to get at least an alpha release. I'm not sure about if I'm continuing it though.

That looks like it feels really good to play, if that makes sense. Does everything in this video already work, or is some of it just added for show? It looks like it wouldn't need much more work to be playable :)

I only added the text in the video but there's still a lot of animations missing so also a lot of controls are still missing.

The game is progressing well so the first alpha will be ready by 15th may. Let's see if we can get a download as well.

I have been working a lot on trying to create interactive and interesting PvP combat which proved to be more a lot more challenging than I expected. A lot of scrapped prototypes and animations later I'm starting to get a feel for the game design.

Stay tuned; I don't have a website for this yet so PM me your email to subscribe!

OK for now I have uploaded the project on github and made downloads for Mac and Windows!

I should make a video or something explaining the game.
