It's been a while since I've posted on here but I'm back with news of multiple updates regarding both game projects. It's been one heck of a tedious task optimizing assets, tweaking the stages, cutting every sprite, reducing and resampling ALL the sound to mono audio and the BGMs to under 32000hz.
New UPDATE FOR: FURIA ROYALE (IKEMEN) Vers

Performance Patch + Furia Royale Public
A new update containing frame data tweaks, Asset Optimization for better performance and decreased loading times is due for release. 2 Builds of the project will be released including a public BETA containing 5 characters and the initial upgraded build with the performance patch. I've also decided not to pack the game together as this seems to just increase loading times.

Taeyeon gets much needed Buffs
Taeyeon gets some beast buffs. From new anims, new moves, frame adjustments and invincibility on DP. No longer trash-tier?





Unreal Engine Build
We've been making steady progress on the UE build however I ran into a very annoying hiccup. I failed to realize that unreal uses Z up axis instead of Y up and thus ran into a number of problems that caused me to re-do things. I actually ended up remodelling and reskinning the characters using Unreal's Skeleton (Which I should have done in the beginning) instead of using my own skeleton.

Anyway since I had to back track, I took the time to make the rigs a little better and give the character's facial rigs instead of relying on blends spaces. This way we can get much better facial expressions and also easily retarget them to other characters.


I've also managed to capture the vibrancy and stylized look of the Ikemen engine version.




New Website
We finally have a new website where you can view project info lore, new character Bios, releases etc. Sorry for the domain name I'm too broke to purchase it so right now we have to make do with. https://benjlivingstone.wixsite.com/ietarcade


Note: There are changes to character bios and also regarding Names. For example: The formerly known as "Tyra" is now "Tayra".
Any way stay tuned for more updates and I will be posting regularly on here in future.
