Status update

Hi guys,

 It been a while since my last post and I feel really bad for not updating you guys more often. First and foremost, I would like to thank every one of my supporters. I couldn't have come this far without you guys.

 As for Blazing Strike, I can't give away too much details because of my agreement with Aksys, but I can tell you that I am finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. And hopefully I can come back with an official date sooner than later. Hope y...

Thank you, all.

Hi everyone,

I know I have gone silent for too long and I apologize to everyone who has been supporting and waiting for Blazing Strike. It’s really hard not being able to give you guys a detailed release date. It’s been a very stressful year from a development stand point and for a number of reasons, obviously the release date of Blazing Strike has been pushed back. I have been feeling like I have lied to you on this matter too many times (intentional or not) and this made me very h...

Happy New Year! Here is an exclusive sneak peek of our full roster! :)

Blazing Strike is still going

Hey all,

 Sorry for the lack of updates as of late. I am trying to wrap up development and it's been crazy hectic.  Even though that is the case, I did want to drop in to share more recent gameplay clip.

 As always, I appreciate your support. Just a little more waiting I promise.

Cheers!

A teaser trailer shown at EVO this year :)

Hi!

 Hope all is well with you. Sorry I have been MIA for the last several months. As you may have guessed already, I have been busy with development of Blazing Strike. That said, I will try to share updates more often from here on. 

 I know the title of this post says "trailer", but I do have a couple more updates and here they are:

 - Release date has been pushed to Q1 2023 (regretfully...)

 - Only to my supporters here on Patreon,...

First Look Trailer of Blazing Strike

Hey guys,

 Sorry for being absent these days.  I just have been busy working on Blazing Strike. Hope you understand.  

 That being the case, I realized that I forgot to post our first-look trailer here on Patreon.  So here it is, if you haven't seen it already. Hope you like it.

 On a side note, I will be sharing the NPC designs for the rest of the tiers at the end of this month :) 

 And that's it. I hope to...

Announcement - Aksys will be publishing Blazing Strike

Hi guys!

 Sorry I have been silent for a while.  I would like to let you know that your OCs are being worked on, and will be shared with you as soon as I have them ready.

  That said, like the title says, I would like to inform you that Aksys will be publishing Blazing Strike!  I have been wanting to share this for some time.  Aksys has been great, supporting the development of the game, and I am happy to be partnering with them.

HUD portrait facial expressions

Hi guys!

  Sorry I have been a little quiet here on Patreon. But know that I have been hard at work.  

I am pleased to let everyone know that our alpha build will be ready soon.  And a related note, I have been working on HUD portraits and wanted to ask you guys what other expressions you would like to see in addition to what we have below.

The gif is playing in this order: normal-> fatigue -> light hit -> heavy hit -> stun

Our patron avatar/NPC tier breakdown

  Hey!  As I have promised from the previous post, here I have laid out the 7 different tiers for your NPCs in the background.  These tiers are assigned based on your "total" pledge amount until March of this year, and I will be sending out a message to each individual with more info on their tier level when the time comes.

  For animations, I will be making the decisions on what they will be, but we can collaborate on what their base pose will look like. 2021-01-20 01:05:59 +0000 UTC View Post

Important Announcement! :)

Happy New Year! Hope all of you are starting off 2021 with a bang.

I am currently busy getting our first demo ready, and I really appreciate your patience.

That said, my announcement today is not about the demo (sorry for the letdown).  I am announcing that all of my valuable patrons will get to have their avatars (or OCs) in the backgrounds of Blazing Strike!

I hope you are as excited as I am. :) Now, the size of and the detail of your avatar will depend on your contri...

Back to being "indie"

Hi guys,

 Sorry I've been away from Patreon for so long.  And I am here to let everyone know that I am back. Long story but I no longer work with a publisher, and they had asked me to refrain myself from all Patreon activities back when we became partners.

 Now that I am back to being "indie", I have decided to reopen my Patreon page.  And to those who stuck by and continued to support Blazing Strike here on Patreon, I cannot thank you enough. You wi...

Character Design Update!

Hey guys!

Sorry I have been busy working on Blazing Strike, but had little to share because of an NDA with the publisher.  Since it's okay for me to share anything that's related to the content that I already shared before, here are some of the character design changes/updates :) Hope you guys are as excited as I am about them.

As always, thank you for supporting Blazing Strike! For all of the support you have given me, I will definitely plan something s...

Demo V02 available now!

Hey guys :)

I just sent out a DM to all of whom supported Blazing Strike with a download key for Demo V02.  I have had many valuable feedback and bug reports, and these helped me improve the gameplay tremendously. Thank you!  Hope to get more of these from you guys.  Your feedback will only make Blazing Strike better.

Thanks as always and enjoy the demo :)

Best,

RareBreed

Demo V02 will be available for download 10/18!

Hi guys,

I would like to let you know that our playable demo V02 will be available 10/18 :)

V02 will have more fine tuned and stable gameplay, as well as some additions and changes in the game system.  I believe this build will play much much better than V01 with all of the pieces of the system working much more smoothly and coherently.

With that said, I am excited to get your feedback on the build.  I will post another announcement on the day I upload t...

Demo V02 is in the works

Hi guys!  I have decided to release Demo V02 in about 2 weeks.  It is pretty fast given V01 was uploaded about a week ago, but I feel like there have been lots of improvements made to the game and I would like more of my patrons to experience how Blazing Strike plays.  I also hope that I can get lots of feedback from you guys :)

I will be making another announcement once I decide on the exact date.

Thanks as always,

RareBreed
