game a beatem up with ponies!

[corrosioncorridor 48]

      Well this is going to be fun.....

I'm working a game that's similar to the final fight series that's based around a fanfiction that came into my head. I can already confirm that Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, and Applejack are already playable ponies but i will also add 4 more with a total of 8. rarity and Pinkie Pie will be like merchant in the game, cause i don't see Rarity wanting to fight legions of enemies and Pinkie Pie just too cheerful and happy. I know i will get some love/hate out of this project so just bare with me here I'm only just one person. some parts of the game and story will be questionable like another draconequus. (the only official one I know of is Discord and  yes he will make and appearance in the game not sure how yet) and just the main story line in general. either way I wont to try to get this done in 2 mouth with a dlc the mouth after that might not be canon to the original story I wont. when were on that page are the any good FREE animator that I could use to make a animated series with. thank you.

 

P.S what does postwhoreing mean I gonna post every week and i dont what to be that.

Hi there.
You can animate with Flash if you're going 2D, but if you're going 3D, I recommend Blender for more advanced users or FragMOTION for beginners.

I believe postwhoring is when you're posting just to get your post count raised. But I'm not sure.

What are you making this game in?

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

You can't have fighting games without epic fighting music...

[Demonic Soulz 483]

Yo need awesome music for beatemups and you need more characters then the ones you said. Maybe ask around the forums see if anypony wants their OC in the game or just put in some of the other background ponies also

[corrosioncorridor 48]

I'm gonna try to keep it on a flat plan like I will have to quote again like the final fight and I think 8 character is a good start also i need to learn how to reply directly to this topic. I was also gonna try to use the unity engine to do it however i cant download it from the official website which is making my maddiness meter go up. as for the music is gonna be so diverse with the bosses i have in mind ill try some and but the up to tomorrow. As for the story im gonna go ahead and type the fanfiction in its proper section it's called "the Sinkeeper" and bear with me it's not as dark as it may sound.

I have no clue what just happened to my comment I'm so sorry

ok nevermind ignore what i wrote about my comment i swear my computer was having it's time making me thing i screwed up my post

Sounds good!

 

So...I guess you'll need music for menus and actual stages right? 

[corrosioncorridor 48]

@C. Thunder Dash

 

yes I found some on the Internet I like. I guess I should really tell everyone about the characters first cause as of now there going in blind. I'm trying to think of a way to balance telling them information without massive spoilers.

HOW WOULD THAT MAKE ANY SENSE?!

[corrosioncorridor 48]

@Schoolboy B

 

how would what make any sense.

just now finished The Sinkeeper this will tell the story and address the main villain.Also there will be 7 minor villains in the series that I have planed so have patience

[nickdh 49]

Hi there.
I wouldn't continue until you have a reliable game creator. It's the type of thing that if you have absolutely no experience with, it can halt your game progress exponentially.

If Unity won't work, and you have the .NET framework (usually comes with windows) and DirectX 8.0 or higher (also usually comes with windows) then you should try 3D Rad. http://3drad.com/

If you change your mind and decide to go 2D, you'll have a larger range of options with less scripting/programming involved. 001 Game Creator, GameMaker, and even Flash.

 

The entire project sounds interesting. Keep us updated!

[corrosioncorridor 48]

after browsing around I found some music for the first few levels that are centered are a boss that's a techno artist. I know that sound dumb in written words but the final product would be good.

also here's a little backstory to the game, I wanted an original story and villains so I made some up and I think I did a good job.

http://mlpforums.com/topic/103812-the-sinkeeper/

 

level theme: this just has a good beat to it and it sounds like both a rave and a big fights going on

This one here was where I got most of his in game taunts and it just fits his character so well.

 

As soon as I heard this sound I knew I had to use it as a boss theme. yeah he as 2 phases and this just screams "you screwed up"

and with the same amount of rap (I think this is rap) as his first theme it somewhat fits his character.

sorry you using so many links that's the only way I can help you get to the sounds the easiest. If you have any ideas just tell me, I'm open to all ideas and yes I'm gonna change my profile pic as soon as I make a OC that I think.

I forgot to mention that thunder dash is gonna help with some of the music and I'm really looking for to see his work

here's is his some of his work

also all the things here are subjected to change and I know I can't please everyone but that doesn't stop me from trying. 

Here's one of the mechanics in the game in the simplest way I can explain it. the playing field gonna be based around a 4x6 ground and some enemies will target that tile and attack it so get on that tile. The tiles will flash either yellow, purple, orange, or blue depending on the pony your playing as also the tiles will have a cutie mark on them. This will be useful on most bosses and certain enemies that use range. Here's an example picture.

tell me your thought i gonna make the game in 32x32 cause the program I'm using only runs on that graphics and any higher I would have to cut my ear off and give it to my try love. (It's a reference)  

[(MARVEL) Blue Blood 991]

I'd love to see a Turtles in Time styled beat em up with ponies. Here's ideas for stats:
Twilight: Best Magic (Special) Attack, Balanced at everything else.

Applejack: Strongest Attacker, Slowest Runner.

Rainbow: Fastest Runner and Best Running Attacks, Worst Stamina.

Rarity: Longest Range, Weakest Defense.

Fluttershy: Self Healing Move (Special), Decent overall stats.

Pinkie: Second Fastest Runner, Highest Jumper, Low Defense.

All i can say here is...

 

Dis gunna b good.

[corrosioncorridor 48]

Ok everyone my voice acting is pardon my french SHITE and my mic sucks, so if anyone is willing to provide their voice acting I would gladly take it cause if not the cutscenes would look like a comic instead of a animation. Also good news here's another level theme that belong to the rave character and I cant take it no more here's the deal, I'm gonna give you all a look at the bosses and some of the enemies. And last minute thought I'm gonna add a unlockable that turns all characters into humans. thought that would add replay value.

My buddy and I were talking about this the other day, about how an unlockable would be having the ponies turn into humans when you beat the game.

Interesting I suppose, I can't really offer any skills, because I kind of lack any skills, especially those useful for such a project ;p.

 

But regardless good luck with the project!

I was gonna have only 8 playable characters and they are Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Twilight and Luna along with some bosses from the came itself. Yes there is a reason to play as the bosses than just playing as the villains, it's story driven and why Luna it's also story driven. and I loved you idea of stats and specials and how I was going to do it was you buy stuff from rarity and she give you more health/damage with pinkie is just there for other random junk such as the boss themes and other stuff Like BIG HEAD MODE. As for the specials here they are 

Rainbow Dash: hits all enemies to center of the screen then blows the up off screen to do the buccaneer blitz does huge damage to stationary enemies.

Applejack: bucks a enemy of your choice for high damage and if death occurs then switches to nearest one.

Twilight: Sends all enemies to the moon.... except stationary enemies and bosses takes the longest to charge up.

Fluttershy: this one's my favorite. she enters her Flutterrage and become invincible, her attack is up 3X, but her speed is reduced by

50%

Luna: makes all enemies get hysterical fear and have an emotional breakdown making them not attack for a full minute. Doesn't work on bosses cause a monster made of all the world sin being scared doesn't make him intimidating.

as for the other 3 I'll tell everyone them when I announce the others.

you are a ....... whats a pony version of a saint..... 

[(MARVEL) Blue Blood 991]

I see. Beat em ups aren't known for their stories, but that's a pretty nifty idea. I figured Pinkie would be a fighter and not Fluttershy, but those baby steps might be much larger than I thought.
I would love it if all the Mane 6 were playable, but I'm not the one making the game, so I won't complain about it. Besides, playing as Luna does sound fun.

[SugarPie91 44]

Sounds awesome is it gonna be free to download? If so I hope it's easier to download then freaking fighting is magic literally 14 tries later and 3tries after disabling my antivirus and firewall and still nothing! I really wanna try one of these games. I'm an old fan of arcade beat - Em - ups and arcade fighters so I really will be looking into this please please PLEASE! !! KEEP US POSTED! And let us know how development is going! Your awesome!

[corrosioncorridor 48]

Well today I'm working on building Fluttershy running sprite so yeah that's it and my sister almost found out that I'm a brony...... Shite

 also visit Urimas Deviantart page where I got It from I messaged I'm about it using it and as soon as he give me the word I'll either use it or delete it.

 http://www.deviantart.com/art/Fluttershy-312882012

and here's another theme for the technoboss I'm gonna type his story tomorrow.

I want to thing all of you for the support, without that I would already have given up but as soon as I see a comment I realize I can't

 

Thank you

 

P.S got any ideas for the game let me know and I will let you know how that would go. Also if you can voice any characters from the show or have a good microphone I would most likely take you in as a person to voice my characters.

Well this beatem up does have a story found here and the only reason I chose RD,AJ,TS,FS, and Luna was because I was thinking about shops and they seemed like they were the best one to use and why Luna well she's tied to the final boss.

I actually have no clue how It's gonna be downloaded might use exe.

Ok enough teasing here's one of the bosses, actually he's the first and note his real name is subject to change cause it kinda sucks for a pony name.

Here's the story of Zekiel and his decent into madness and the creation of the Raze.

 

Zekiel as soon as he was born faced with discrimination, he mane, coat, and even his eyes where a bizarre miss match of colors. His left eye was brown, while his right was a light blue. His mane was a dark blue color, contacting his right eye and his coat was a bright lime green. This was rarely seen in a pegasus pony making his a stand out in a crowd and made his a easy and common target for harassment and and in simpler words bullying. His life at home though  was that of an easy one with two loving parents and a large collection of instruments. He had a lot of time to practice these instruments, easily mastering them however his favorite was a electric piano. He played this the most making party music and eventually he got a chance to play in front of a crowd during the nightmare night celebration. The costume he was wearing was a modified Wonderbolts suit. The goggles would change colors every few seconds and instead of being a light blue it was black with the light lines on the costume being able to light up many different colors.

Instead of using his real name the made up a stage name, The Raze. His performance was the best the town Canterlot has ever seen. He was offered to play again when the had another celebration and he gladly accepted. But while The Raze popularity skyrocketed, Zekiel's life remained the same and the cycle between the love The Raze got and the Bullying Zekiel received gave him Dissociative identity disorder or split personality disorder and only got worse or the years. He eventually got his cutie mark ,several years too late and it being 3 strobe light arranged in a triangle each one a separate color. Each one represents a color he had, one blue(right eye), one brown(left eye) and one green(body). The Raze was braking records and after receiving his cutie mark decided to become The Raze full time. His plan was to become lost in the Everfree woods, however in there the Prine Triton, the Sinkeeper corrupted him, using the hate he had against all who bullied him and made him is puppet. The Raze left the woods while Zekiel became a missing pony.

 

Ok that's back story now it's time to tell his weapons and his fighting style in the game.

In in first form he wields a chainsaw katana which is is signature weapon and has a large amount of molotovs at you. When he throws  one a tile on the ground will flash a that tile will be ablaze for about three seconds.He also has the ability to teleport and he can become invisible, however when he attacks his eyes will flash when he's invisible. He's the first boss so he's somewhat easy. It's his second for which he becomes harder to fight. A later boss and one of the Last, Violet Star, gave his a clockwork machine that runs on magic called the Beat Dropper. The machine has 10 speakers arrange in a decagon shape that makes up the cockpit while it moves with six spider-like legs. This thing mainly attacks by either jumping on you or just runs straight over you, also summons minions.

And here's his level themes in order

lvl1: titanium batt no more heroes 2

This just sounds like there a rave going on yet it also sound like a fight going on. If you listen it kinda takes a serious problem is going on.

lvl2: unlimited resources anarchy reigns

This songs mainly for Rainbow Dash, it kinda fits her personality and the fact that both poor Fluttershy and Rarity is missing along with around 200 other ponies means that she can't give up

lvl3:my town my city anarchy reigns 

This song plays just to remind you that your just a part of The Raze's little game and the clapping sounds like your on a show or T.V.

lvl4: laughin' at you anarchy reigns 

why do I like the music from the Anarchy reigns game.... either way you fall into a trap here and at this part you stay in one place and fight just hordes of enemies, that and it just sounds like he's mocking you while this plays.

lvl:mortified anarchy   reigns

this level introduces Luna as a playable character and a few of the darker enemies start to show up and the boss is on this level.

bosstheme1: Survival madworld

this song just show his laid back attitude and where most of his ingame taunts come from, that and his personality oozes out of this song.

bosstheme2: MADWORLD madworld 

Yes the songs named after the game. I wanted everything to be a dark surprise from the machine he drives, The Razes's  sudden change in his personality to being laid back to being just a plain evil person. That and I get a machinery Vibe from this song.

 

His role in the story is that with him being famous, his concerts brought many ponies to him and with the help of a later character (whose name is subjected to change also) teleports them into the factory of Violent Star to be used as slave to build a army of golems made of metal that are shaped in the likeness of Nightmare Moon. H

 

this boss doesn't die he actually becomes a playable character after this because  Derpy saves him. Sinkeeper's corruption can be reversed if one of his reason for his corruption is solved no one care for him when he was not perfuming and being his alter ego. Derpy cared for him and even felt sorry for him because he was worst off than her. And just that one person caring saved him.

All the boss( with the exception of Sinkeeper and Violent Star) are actually good people that have change by Sinkeeper's evil.

 

 

well back to making sprites
