Do you make the models yourselves or are these ripped assets?

This is my all time favorite movie score, ever. I wonder what Flynn would have thought of LLM's

Hey man happy late birthday, I hope you feel better. As someone who has worked with you even if only a tiny bit, you should know that you are a big inspiration to the rest of us indie fg devs. Hold your head high. Merfight is out there. Cupkick looks interesting. You're trying to make a difference.

Vankil @vankil.sonstudios-dev.com · 03/01/2025

Yeah you hop into stream for anyone that is new to fg's and uhh yeah or playing a fg for the first time and the amount of just inaccuracy you see in their chats is actually crazy.

#FGC whats a mechanic you think FG's should have that they don't? Can be new or old.

Vankil @vankil.sonstudios-dev.com · 23/12/2024

Looked into it more they do not place the character on top, however collision boxes are just bigger to where the characters bodies arent inside each other outside of the edges of limbs.

Vankil @vankil.sonstudios-dev.com · 23/12/2024

You know if NRS games do this?

Vankil @vankil.sonstudios-dev.com · 21/12/2024

Was actually the first thing I noticed as well when watching footage. Still bought it cuz it seems like fun, but yeah during combos silhouette just kinda disappears, I was thinking collission/pushbox should be a bit further out as well

Vankil @vankil.sonstudios-dev.com · 18/11/2024

I guess for me, because Blackwargreymonn is a palette swap of regular wargreymon, I'm not the biggest fan I picked Mewtwo because both first movies kinda have a focus on them and they are the original "Most Powerful Mon's" of their respective franchises and still have that nostalgic powerful vibe.

Vankil @vankil.sonstudios-dev.com · 18/11/2024

#Digimon fans if Pikachu = Agumon, and Charizard = Wargreymon, does Mewtwo = Omegamon?

Im surprised there’s no fg on this list since I’m primarily aware of you as fg creator

This doesn’t sound super egregious on a surface level, am I missing something. What do you think they should do to monetize?

Yo ....uh Keits while I have your attention as an indie fg dev trying to lead a team to success. I could use some advice from an OG like yourself.

The problem with making a new fighting game right now, or any game really, is that game dev funding is much more scarce. Its tough out there.

Vankil @vankil.sonstudios-dev.com · 14/11/2024

I think big point here and I'm sure @keits.bsky.social would agree is that we need more AA FGs, not crumbs because it makes it really hard to get the right people to see a vision through and not necessarily AAA budget because of the risk. Give people enough support to see a vision through.

Vankil @vankil.sonstudios-dev.com · 14/11/2024

Indie #FGC devs, what was the initial feeling/desire that motivated the creation of your first project and current project, and how have those changed over time.

000

Vankil @vankil.sonstudios-dev.com · 14/11/2024

While I agree to some degree, rule of cool will overule all of those points, as long as the game is cool enough people will see the brutality as a journey not a destination. hence why Tekken 8 has sold as well as it has despite its high priced entry point.

Vankil @vankil.sonstudios-dev.com · 14/11/2024

Exactly. And no disrespect to the 100th cozy city builder dropping right now but those titles aren’t getting 300 million either yknow?

Vankil @vankil.sonstudios-dev.com · 14/11/2024

Yeah the amount of “nobody is interested in fighting games” messages and responses I’ve gotten as someone trying to pitch a game is crazy

Vankil @vankil.sonstudios-dev.com · 13/11/2024

Bluesky has been such a surprising breath of fresh air compared to that other place. If I didn’t feel like we needed it because of the small eyes @netcodewarriors.sonstudios-dev.com already has over there I’d dump it completely.

Vankil @vankil.sonstudios-dev.com · 13/11/2024

I think Starter Packs Significantly help with that.
