2D Fighting Package - A Good Idea?

I’m thinking of creating a 2D fighting package. It would include AI scripts programmed in Javascript but creating a FSM. I am also thinking of including placeholder sprites, music and possible hitboxes. Of course I rather have some peoples’ thoughts before I started. Would this interest anyone?

What inspired this is Atlus’ game, Persona 4 Arena. And I was playing it and I tried Score Attack where the AI are just about broken and unfair and that I don’t see a lot of fighting games the come from Unity. And I thought it’d be a good idea.

I would be greatly interested in a 2d fighting or Brawler package.

I can’t remember seeing one before, to me it sounds like a great idea!

Heh I raised the same topic in gossip not long ago. Consensus was yes its interesting, but dont expect it to be easy.

I’m going to focus on a scrolling beat-em up style attack system first (think double dragon or TMNT arcade with combos, weapons, grabs, etc). I’ve built a few of these games for clients so very confident on being able to produce a good asset in a timely fashion.

For me the fighter package will need to wait until I can get a top notch animator on board. If someone else happens to build a quality one first I probably wont bother :slight_smile:

Possible hitboxes? I assume you mean possibly hitboxes, and I’d have to say a 2D fighting asset/package would definitely require hitbox support IMO.

Yes, its kind of not anything without that. Here’s my idea of features for a basic kit:

  • Animated character with 12 or so moves.
  • Projectiles.
  • Hit boxes/Damage Boxes.
  • Simple AI
  • All the usual controls (charge move, half rolls, and combos) set up for keyboard and controller (XBox/PS3).
  • Super Moves with chargeable meter.

All the usual controls (charge move, half rolls, and combos) set up for keyboard and controller (XBox/PS3).

Its about 4th in line behind, attack system for sidescrollers, adventure game kit, and building game framework … i.e. its at least 6 months away, so don’t hold your breathe :s
