PURE ONYX January 2019 Test Release!

STILL NO H-CONTENT!

돈주고 하기아깝다 첫번째 작품보고 투자하지 이딴거하려고 투자하냐?

Holding judgment till after hitbox fix - currently the most criminal of things a game can be:Boring.

Don't wanna add more work at the moment, but it's easy and technically efficient to add these things with Spine, so it's a possibility for later :D.

Any chance you could include battle damage into the game? Even a little blood after all that brawling? Oh and will it be as easy as it is now. basically block the first blow and punch your way to victory is the ultimate strategy atm.

That's pretty much what the hitboxes bullet in the Known Issues is all about. The actual animations aren't in yet, so there's not much point to setting them up quite yet. They should be in the next release though.

I agree with FloundericiousWA the knee/kick needs some work as it should be more outreaching than the punch. Also the Splicers have too much range. I have to do a guard let them hit my guard then inch forward to get a strike in cause their is a bit of a range problem. I can jump kick my way in to close distance but once I get within their strike zone I cant reach them with my attacks.

Honestly I'm super excited to see more PO! I personally haven't ran into any big problems so far and the concepts look fantastic. Keep it up!

Mr. 100

jump kick is waaaaay OP....punch is strong with chaining...knee/kick is meh, just out of range

I got to say, PO is... interesting, but it is not why I pledged. I pledged for MATM, and even if it is just progress updates on the engine, I would still like to know about them as part of the weekly update.

Pure Onyx is a much smaller scope project and will be finished a lot sooner than MATM. We're working on MATM's engine but our art team is focusing on Pure Onyx so that it can see a retail release to support our growing team size. PO is still very early in development and will shape up quickly. MATM was in the works for over a year before its first Patreon release :D.

I do have to ask, and this is the main reason I pledged. What's gonna happen to MATM? Is it on hold indefinitely or is the team still working on it in the background? I didn't pledge for Onyx (frankly I don't see much appeal in it compared to MATM, I just love alpha/beta testing games and finding issues) and it strikes me as something of a disappointment to have a Final Fight style game... (sorry)

It's a good thing that the hit/hurtboxes is a known issue. I'm a fighting game player, and the hurtbox for Onyx is WICKED HUGE. Only way to actually hit enemies is jump-ins and even then you can be hit out of it pretty easily.

Trust me, it wasn't from a lack of trying. We have to have animated characters before we can have animated H content, and it took longer to get the rigging system situated than anticipated.

To be honest i am very disappointed, you guys said that you will focus on H content and animation and you will release a playable version with those contents last month, but its already January and you haven't provided us with neither of those. (few sketches in the gallery that are no more than few hours of work don't count) Its always in "the next release". Im sorry if this sounds rude or anything but it's a fact, i know sometimes delays and unexpected errors occur but not having even 5% of what you guys promised is not because of this. I think i will cancel my pledge for now i've been supporting for quite a while now and didn't get to see anything special, only few adult pictures and some maps/weapons. I wish you guys best in your game developing.

Oh could you post screens? That'd be very useful for us :3. EDIT: I think TK has a 21:9 monitor, so I will see if he can find the issues :D

Looks great. I'm playing this in 21:9 aspect ration and it holds together for the most part a few places where the assets cut short.

Nice. Good progress. The post processing cutting in and out is listed with "sometimes", but it's consistent for me. When I start the Arcade Mode, the film grain disappears after a second of the loading screen, then the game shows itself for a millisecond, goes back to black, the film grain comes back and then the game properly starts with the fade-in. Also stop pulling all-nighters. Health is important, yo.
