I shouldn't technically do this, but we're too damn proud of this. Have a preview of the stage "Calm Summer Breeze".

Song: "Weight of Calm" by J.G of GenesisKeys

Double feature! All new stages for Build 2, graphics-wise have been proactively completed, "Rollercoaster into Ultra-Space" (left) and "Calm Summer Breeze" (right).

Details on each stage in ALT text! #CVSQFANGAME #pixelart #CAPCOM #FinalFantasy #KingdomHearts #FGC #GameDev #IKEMEN-Go
A mad dash through a desolate area in space; your only lifeline is a metal platform, that is hopefully sturdy enough. The background itself mimics a rollercoaster motion (not shown here). Background cameos include: Scummocide (Captain Commando), Bahamut (Final Fantasy), the Einhänder ship (Einhänder) and the Gummi Ship (Kingdom Hearts). ~~yahyadrawzzz A rustic, old, idyllic rural town square, with some vandalism here and there. Inspired by the artwork of the artist "alarik0", also inspired by rural Fukuoka, Japan and the "Son Son" stage from "Street Fighter Alpha: Warrior's Dream". The skyline is inspired by that of Kobe, Japan. Cameos include: DeeJay (Street Fighter), Cody Traves( Final Fight), Aerith Gainsborough), Selphie Tilmitt (Final Fantasy; in her Kingdom Hearts appearance), Kairi (Kingdom Hearts), Bub (Bubble Bobble), Strider Hiryu (Strider), Mike Haggar and Guy (Final Fight; in the poster behind Cody), Elliot "Mirage" Witt and Alexander "Caustic" Nox (Apex Legends). The "Apex Legends" cameos don't have any particular reason to be there, other than I wanted them there (they are tangentially connected by means of the "Final Fantasy 7" crossover); think of it like the Naruto cameos in "TMNT x Justice League: Turbo Edition". ~~yahyadrawzzz

While we're still waiting on the character coding redoes to wrap up, I went in and did some proactive work; wrapped up the graphics for the 4th planned stage. Will be sending these off to our stage coder while retrieving the loop points for the planned theme!

#CVSQFANGAME #pixelart #GameDev
Hugo (Final Fight) vs Alena Tsarevna (Dragon Quest), on a platform in deep space. While not immediately obvious, the background is a loop that has a roller coaster vibe to it. The metal platform was inspired by the one in Iron Man's stage in the CAPCOM fighter "MARVEL SUPER HEROES". In the background there are 4 cameos: * Bahamut (Final Fantasy) * Einhänder (Einhänder) * Gummi Ship (Kingdom Hearts) * Scummocide (Captain Commando)

🤔
Scummocide meets the Einhänder in deep space.... what threat does this pose to our combatants?

Hugo's attack animations complete! Only 8 more animations remain, before we move onto the next sprite set!

Walk animation complete, this marks the end of my little Scias intermission. Time to finalize Hugo's sprite set.

Trying to get ahead of the curve, have some WIP frames for Scias. #CVSQFANGAME #BreathOfFire4 #pixelart #animation

254 frames into Hugo's sprite set. Instead of opting to palette change the color-reduced sprite set by Ethan_Lives, we decided to do some minor clean-up and editing in certain areas. Only his special attack and miscellaneous frames remain. #CVSQFANGAME #pixelart #SF3 #ThirdStrike #FinalFight

"HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER!" transition that was quickly whipped up. Should be the last of the UI stuff for the time being. A few more UI-related things will pop up in later builds!

Little funny I saw while working on finalizing Hugo's set of "get-hit sprites".

The "Andore Ball". Lmao.
Because of the way Photoshop CS6 works when making frame-by-frame animations, you get this snowball of every frame you copy-paste in the first one. I still have no idea how to turn this off, if that's even possible.

The CAPCOM VS SQUARE Intro video broke 2K views on YouTube. Thank you all for the wonderful reception!

Please have a look at the trophy sprites that will be used for Rankings Mode in the next build while we're working on finalizing the demo!

Trophies depicting (from left-to-right): Hugo (Final Fight), Scias (Breath of Fire), Agrias (Final Fantasy Tactics), and Tiki (The Newzealand Story).

And here it is! The intro to the game. The timing of it all had to be tweaked because the song that I wanted to use wouldn't work out. Hope it's the SF3 tribute I envisioned it to be, even if it isn't perfect!

Song: "Memo" by J.G. of GenesisKeys.
Announcer: PNDKetchup.

Some shots of the first part of the intro! If you're making your first move, what's it gonna be?!

I have an intro going. Still need to make the rest of it tho. Storyboards in #IKEMEN-Go are hard work.

(Pardon my cursor, still getting the hang of Windows Game Bar)

As me and KarmaCharmeleon go deep into refining the demo, while I refine visuals and sounds, CAPCOM VS SQUARE's future is bright. Please enjoy this in-game screenshot of the promo for the next Build!

I realized I did not show a proper image file containing the corrected sprites of my final roster and bosses, so hopefully this does it.

The secret character count has bumped up to 4 officially now that I'm no longer handling character coding. #CVSQFANGAME #FGC

Training preview, Dan Hibiki's such a swell guy to accept being our sparring partner!

You can also see input display on the left of Ryu. Just in the nick of time for the latest tester build!

So in place of the old "WINNER!!!" sound byte that honestly wore off on me, I decided to wear my love of JoJo's Venture and "Heritage for the Future" even further on my sleeve, with the WIN animation being derived from there, along with a diamond edit to the text!

3rd video: New Limit Break and Throw Escape VFX; the old Limit Break VFX will be repurposed for the Inventory mechanic that I'm hoping to show off very soon!

Hello Bluesky,

Here's a small thread showing what I've been up to for the past few days!

1st video: Preview of Agrias Oaks' special attacks; her anti-air has an air variant that isn't shown here.

Hmmmm..... too close for comfort... lol.

I'm pretty happy with how this frame and the VFX turned out!

#CVSQFANGAME #IKEMEN-Go #pixelart #FinalFantasy
"Cleansing Bolt"; in this game, it's used as a throwing attack.

Hello Bluesky!

While I'm working on finalizing character AI, I took a moment to see if I can make a timer bar for one of Tiki's Limit Breaks, and I managed to pull it off, somehow!

Actually quite proud of it, take a look!
