CAPCOM vs Square: Parallel Destinies

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

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

Morrigan. Result of tonight's stream. One and done.

Trying to find a better and more efficient method/style for the lower end/downmarket commission tier.

Or I could just find a middle-point, collapse everything into one tier and keep it simple.

Let's see how this shakes out.

Whaddaya think?

Stage inspired by rural Japanese towns. A bit on the empty side to give credence to the entire "memories of shattered worlds all in the Void". Some cameos from CAPCOM and SQUARESOFT to be added later. Pictured: Hugo from Final Fight, versus B.B Hood from DarkStalkers.

Little WIP shot of the next confirmed stage for #CVSQFANGAME. More details in ALT text.

There's 2 Kingdom Hearts cameos (well, technically 1, the other is a Final Fantasy cameo using their KH appearance) incoming in the next stage for the 2nd build. Call it a consolation gift for not getting enough hands for character sprites and burning out too quick.

~~yahyadrawzzz

I'm thinking about trying someone on for the TF game as an assistant spriter. I would do finished key frames and they would do in-betweens. I'd like to see if this could speed up the process, but I am not confident there are pixel artists interested in working on this.

I also worked on some minor UI updates and fixes here and there, and got sprite work done for Hugo, a new stage slated for the next build, and some for Scias.

Thanks for sticking with us, hopefully the next announcement(s) will be us dropping the build.

~~yahyadrawzzz

With that being said, I took the opportunity to do some proactive work. Instead of delaying rollback for the next build, I move all the work done over to the latest nightly build of #IKEMEN-Go, which now has functional rollback thanks to the dev team's effort.

Hey BlueSky, hope you're gearing up for a relaxing weekend.

Dropping by to make a quick heads up, due to unforeseen circumstances, my coder had to take a break of her own to recuperate. This means that there may be a delay in dropping the first ever public demo. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Friends in every universe!

It should be noted that the positions the cameos are in were just to get them in the image; it'll all be positioned properly as the coding work for it is done.

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)

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!

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.

After a yearish long hiatus I've been tinkering again. First couple strikes in the string are faster, back dash now can cancel out of most things

No.

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

Rollback netcode has made it into #IKEMEN-Go nightly! Huge thanks to fantasma, Kasesnake, PotS, NeatUnsou, and more who worked on merging it into nightly! #MUGEN

Feedback, as always, is much appreciated by everyone, as everyone involved wants this to be a solid experience! Edit config.ini to enable
