The records also don't count any CPU matches-- There *was* one player who picked a level 12 CPU Conrad to fight against and was not going to get up until he won one match 😭 ended up being like 1-8 to 1-10 or something

I have some ideas, but also he has by far the highest skill floor in the game 💀 One person started figuring him out and became almost untouchable though!

yes, there's burst, perfect parry, roman cancels, mix, at least one reverse beat, whiff punish mechanics, juggles, and leveled supers. yes I played SF6 and GGST for a stupid amount of time prior to making this

Hey new folks, I know my pinned is about my 3D game jam, but I picked up my very FIRST game to work on again. Here's the three that inspire!

One for town-building, one for the battle system, and one for... the... everything!

My brain is kinda just always living in 2001-2009, I guess... 🤷‍♂️

gotta be honest I thought the format of the game precluded me from being subject to traditional zoner vs. grappler dynamics

10.05.2025 04:57 — 👍 1    🔁 0    💬 0    📌 0

so one of the new characters in wd has a power set canonically described as "controlling space"
so naturally I made them capable of strike/throw mix, oki, poke and pressure at fullscreen

and then proceeded to get completely washed by the CPU while playing as the game's grappler

I really can't thank you enough, you've really shed a light on the cause for 2 hours of pulling my hair out
Guess I should set up a test branch on Steam before I try showing off a dev build of my game again >_>

20.04.2025 07:08 — 👍 1    🔁 0    💬 1    📌 0

Wait holy shit is this really what's happening
So I gotta either patch the game (in a play test branch) or disable Steam if I wanna test the standalone??

has anybody ever had an issue where running a game maker build in editor works as normal, but exporting it results in an old version of your game being compiled ?? gm refuses to create an .exe of bell spell 0.9.11 and it's getting on my nerves
