It's funding for 2 characters, the rest are stretch goals.
Shame that they went with Flexible Funding, though. Those IGG campaigns always tend to scare people away.

I like the idea of making a Guild joint donation. That game embodies in many ways what the whole MUGEN community is all about - Not letting the FG dream die out. Those are damn talented artists with proven experience in successful projects we enjoyed, and it's time to give back.
I might donate $20, but I definitely need to get a PayPal account up and running.

Hey guys,
GenkiPatton (aka Seon King) from Nyu Media here.
Just thought I'd pop on to say thanks very much for your support for our Yatagarasu campaign! It's nice to see such a positive response here (& no mention of GGPO so far :) Contributions are of course hugely appreciated, but please help spread the word too - we have a long way to go!
If you have any questions for me or the dev team, I'll be happy to answer them here.
Cheers!

Hey GenkiPatton/Seon King!
I hope you don't mind me asking, but is there any particular reason that you and/or the dev team chose to the run the campaign with flexible funding instead of fixed? I've been trying to get some friends interested in the campaign but a lot of them are completely turned off since it's running under flexible funding which carries a terrible stigma with it.
I keep hearing that the dev team is confident in their netcoding. How exactly does it work? Is it the usual host a game and then give your friend your IP address to play kind or is it something else?
Title: Re: Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm - Crowdfunding Campaign
Post by: Shwa on June 30, 2013, 03:09:21 am
If it's not any different from the original netcode, the original game does have a matchmaking server with lobbies and such, along with IP direct connection. I bet it'll be the same with the updated version, but more fleshed out. Kinda reminds me of SSFIV's netcode on PC.
Also, I got a question for the dev team too: are there plans for a console release? I mean, the 3DS was supposed to be getting the original game, is that still a thing? Would other platforms be considered?
Title: Re: Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm - Crowdfunding Campaign
Post by: Bastard Mami on June 30, 2013, 03:37:20 am
while they answer, I wil venture one answer based on what I read in their kick starter q&a section ; there are no console releases planned, the 3ds one was by another company and the pc team is as unrelated to 3ds porting as it can be.

Hey, Loco!
We went with flexible funding because the team intends to make the game eventually, even if we don't reach our target. The team has spent six years getting the game to this point, but will be able to make a leap in progress if our campaign is funded. If not, they will continue, but it may be much longer before the game is ready for release because they will have to make up for the lack of budget by just putting more time into it.
I'm not actually party to how the team's net code works, but I believe it's based on input delay. In terms of configuration, players can either choose to host a game or join another host. You can find full details about the network set up for the latest version of Yatagarasu at Rice Digital's home page right here: http://www.ricedigital.co.uk/store/yatagarasu
ope this helps! Posted: July 03, 2013, 03:12:20 am
Also, I got a question for the dev team too: are there plans for a console release? I mean, the 3DS was supposed to be getting the original game, is that still a thing? Would other platforms be considered?
Presently the dev team is focused on completing the PC and NESiCAxLive version and no console / Linux / Mac / etc. versions are planned. This situation might well change once the PC & NESiCAxLive versions are done or if we exceed our stretch goals, although looking a bit unlikely right now.
We have nothing to do with the 3DS version, but Nicalis recently tweeted an update about their port progress (https://twitter.com/nicalis/status/342079071229972480), so it doesn't seem to be dead. Posted: July 03, 2013, 04:48:23 am

The Yatagarasu dev team has agreed to add GGPO! Here is their latest message to all:
----------------------------- Hello, this is Shiza from the Yatagarasu dev team.
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback regarding GGPO. It was especially useful for us to learn that Internet latency is a problem for players in the US.
Implementing GGPO in Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm should be possible. We had originally planned to test GGPO during development, but now we have decided to actually go ahead and use GGPO in Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm.
Fitting GGPO into the current development schedule and budget is difficult because we already have a large number of features and improvements planned. So, we will make revise our campaign as follows:
GGPO will be added as our first stretch goal.
We will have to extend the release date slightly to allow time to add GGPO.
We have not fully tested GGPO yet, so it’s possible we may encounter technical problems that will delay the release. If it looks like there will be significant delay, we will release the game first without GGPO and then add it as soon as the implementation is completed (it may be as soon as a few days.)
Please understand that this is the most practical way for us to proceed. We hope that this will address any concerns about the experience of online matches in Yatagarasu Attack to Cataclysm.
Thank you for your sincere feedback and for your support!
Shiza Yatagarasu Development Team -----------------------------
The campaign page will be revised to reflect the above today :)

I'm not aware of any specific plans at the moment, but the devs are hoping to add new special moves and I expect in that case they will get different techniques.

Would be cool to have one extra goal for better FX, or maybe they're already thinking about changing them. The hitsparks and other FX (Like EX moves) are pretty weaksauce and bring down the otherwise pretty cool graphics in this game. Not asking for anything like GGXX or MVC3 style though lol.
There's a "New, High Quality Graphics" thingy but I'm not sure if that includes hitsparks and whatnot, I had the impression that it would be related to HUD and menu/artwork only.

I'll be handing the useful digital works to AOKmaniac/Smile Master so he can add them to his Yatagarasu section on his site. Just seems right.

So glad this is actually happening.
Don't know to what extent you're in touch with the actual team working on it, but we really appreciate their previous and current work, and wish them a lot of success.
Look forward to the release.

Have they told backers how to vote yet? I'm assuming it hasn't started. Have not gotten an email about voting and it isn't in their updates page.
I don't know if I want to vote for Chiriakuta or Qadl though =(

According to this, there's 3 female characters and 5 male characters. http://www.giantbomb.com/yatagarasu/3030-38196/characters/
Forcefully we get Kotaro and Azure, to balance this to 4 female / 6 male. So ... bring the balance closer to GENDER equality, or keep the females in the Kitchen making sandwiches? WE GOTTA USE MORE INFO!
Quote
Qadl was once a singer and dancer with deep love of poetry and wine, but fell into deep depression when her husband and children were lost in the civil war. Wandering in despair, she came to a village called Faraguit (“The Hidden Gardens”) which belonged to an organization of assassins called “Bahrain’s Long Winter” and was a training camp for assassins. Now her four limbs have become weapons that she is able to stretch and retract at will. Now, in these troubled times, she has arrived in Japan to assassinate Aja Salisbury.
Fighting Style: Qadl is a long range specialist and has the longest reach of all of the characters. In addition to long-range attacks, she will be able to transform parts of her body to use to make unpredictable close range attacks. “Tell me, isn’t my honey delicious? Doesn’t it take you back to when you were born?” Chiriakuta does not know how he came to be, how long he has existed, or what his purpose is. His cravings know no bounds and he absorbs whatever comes into reach. He creeps around, seeking to capture the ‘Black Beast’, a calling that was born from nothing. He toys with his opponents using moves derived from the baseless chaos.
Fighting Style: Chiriakuta's unique characteristic is that he can defy gravity. We plan for him to move like a dancer. As our ‘wild card’ character, we’re planning a variety of outlandish moves for him. “I eaaaat alllllll. Givvvvve meeeee morrrrrrrre.”
The underlined part makes all the difference. Qadl's storyline depends on another character which may or may not show up = Aja Salisbury. We'd need to have reached the stretch goal for the 4th character to have both of them ... whereas Chiriakuta is a standalone crazy piece of shit, who'd keep Chadha company as the oddballs of this game.
... WINNER IS CHIRIAKUTA!

Announcing the 3rd New Character for Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm!
Thank you for supporting our campaign and for voting for the new characters. The results of voting are now in, so here we go with the announcement of the winner.
The character that ranked #1, with the highest number of votes is…
*** Aja Salisbury! ***
Aja received the highest number of votes and so will be added as our 3rd new character to Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm! Development on her will begin soon!
Here are the results and comments from the Yatagarasu dev team for each of the candidate characters.
1st Place: Aja (14,524 votes) From the start of the campaign until the end, Aja received strong support from contributors at every donation level. However, she was particularly popular among contributors making high donations, and so she achieved an unbeatable lead. One thing we’d really like to know for future reference in developing her is what was it about Aja that attracted people to vote for her? Was it something about her looks, her story, or fighting style? Maybe the fact that she has had much adversity in life? Please drop us a note in the comments and let us know!
2nd Place: Nene (11,211 votes) Nene ended up at 2nd place. There is a clear trend in the voting for Nene: she was at the bottom of the ranking with almost no votes at the start of the campaign, but she came screaming back at the end of the campaign, all the way to second place. Nene was actually number one in terms of the number of people who voted for her! However, insufficient support from the backers with high contributions meant that she fell short of the top spot.
3rd Place: Chiriakuta (11,058 votes) Chiriakuta was at a disadvantage in this voting scheme as we revealed relatively little about him or how he plays. Still, he put up a good fight, ending just behind Nene at 3rd place. Chiriakuta had the smallest number of contributors voting for him, but he did have the support of some contributors making high donations and managed to make up for the number of actual supporting voters.
4th Place: Qadl (7,097 votes) Poor Qadl ended up with the least votes. Our presmuption is that Qadl’s support came from backers who took the view that her fighting style and techniques would provide important additions to the overall balance of the game. However, her overall appeal is probably weaker than the other characters.

Post by: The Fisher King on August 20, 2013, 03:10:02 am
Obviously Aja won because the game lacked a blonde woman. I ain´t even mad, actually anyone could win for me. I really liked all the designs for the future characters :) this could have been a good chance to add Qadl since Aja forms part of its history but the goal wasn´t reached so that´s ok too.
So, the game won´t have a physical copy right?? I could get this through PSN, right?? right??

Though with such a small roster if we need another "normal" fighter it might as well be her.
If it gets a sequel the roster will be large enough to support a "freak" or 2 at that point :)

PayPal Refuse to Release Yatagarasu AoC Funding
Bad news. Today we found out this morning that PayPal have restricted Nyu Media’s PayPal account and are refusing to release funding raised for Yatagarasu AoC.
The email from PayPal advises us that they have ‘reserved’ the funding and will release ‘up to 50% of the funds’ before Yatagarasu AoC is released and the rest only after they have verified copies of paid invoices. What’s more, they provide no option to discuss, stating we should ‘contact us closer to the release date beginning of next year’ to arrange release of the funds.
We appreciate irony as much as the next person, but PayPal refusing to provide funds legitimately raised to complete a game until after the game is released isn’t just beyond ridiculous – it potentially derails the game development. To add insult to injury, not only do Nyu Media and the Yatagarasu developer team have rock solid track records, but we’ve already provided PayPal with documents providing the bona fides of Nyu Media, the developer, and the campaign.
To be fair, we should have seen this coming – it doesn’t take much research to find other examples of PayPal’s practice of refusing to release funds for crowdfunding campaigns (e.g. Skullgirls, Glassup), but chalk this up to our misplaced faith that PayPal might have changed their approach since then.
We are discussing implications with the Yatagarasu development team and will press our case with PayPal UK’s customer service when they open tomorrow. Best case scenario: reason and PayPal’s new “Customer First” direction bring this to a swift conclusion; worst case scenario: we may end up refunding PayPal contributions and arranging donations by other methods. Please stand by and we will provide updates just as soon as possible.
In the meantime, please feel free to help our cause by directing any feedback or directly to @PayPalUK and @PayPal.
Sincerely,
Seon Founder, Nyu Media

Quote "PayPal Has Released Yatagarasu AoC Funds!
I’m relieved to announce that today we received an email from PayPal's ‘Office of Executive Escalations’, advising us that they have released all reserve funds and removed all reserve settings from our account.
This comes as a HUGE relief for all involved in the development of Yatagarasu AoC, as the money raised by our contributors is vital to the game development and pursuing alternative arrangements at this timing would have been hugely problematic.
*THANK YOU* to everyone for the amazing outpouring of support on Twitter, NeoGAF, Shoryuken, and numerous gaming blogs! Your voices clearly played a part in motivating PayPal to resolve our problem and hopefully will help prevent other developers going through the same experience in future.
We are cracking on with preparing Yatagarasu AoC and the campaign perks for contributors, and will provide updates via the IndieGogo page and at Yatagarasu-FTG.com very soon!"

Uche keeps proving that he only likes to talk for the sake of talking even if it's something dumb.
Paypal has been fucking terrible since forever yeah, the increased rates (Especially when there's any kind of conversion) are the worst, also if you're trying to sell something and someone tries to scam you and says you never sent the item Paypal will always side with the buyer. (They're also kinda shitty when it comes to buyers, if you get a counterfeit item either they don't ask for proof or they ask for ridiculous proof that ends up being more expensive than the counterfeit item) It's almost impossible to reach their support via email too, unfortunately I don't see Paypal disappearing anytime soon.

Also got to have my Fenny art. For those curious:

We'll need two types of information in order to add your character to the game:
1) A full body image (drawing, photo, rough sketch, outline design, etc.) of the character. If you can't provide an image, the Yatagarasu development team will design the character for you based on the description below.
2) A detailed written description of how you would like the character to appear, including details of any special characteristics, proportions, etc.
Please note: * The character must be either yourself or an original character created by you. * The more details / materials you can provide, the better! * The deadline for sending the information is December 9th, but earlier would be better if possible!

Post by: Bastard Mami on May 30, 2014, 04:40:11 pm
err.. why? styleos is a professional who has been doing spriting for years/decades, he is bound by productivity rules and Idon't see anything wrong with his method (or what can be implied of his method based on screenshots).

Post by: LurkerSupreme on May 30, 2014, 05:05:50 pm
It does look odd that he starts wip animations with flat colors rather lines. I never even considered that, but the results show his methods are sound.
Title: Re: Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm - Crowdfunding Campaign
Post by: Bastard Walt on May 30, 2014, 06:10:48 pm
You're saying this like I don't know what I'm talking about ... I've known who Styleos is for years.
My comment assumed he was basing off of lineart, which I picked up from the female characters (the proportions look pretty well thought out). Although on a second look on Azure's screenshot, I think he's actually working full pixel all the way (see the thick lines hinting at folds on his pants).
Anyway, Diepod's method is actually pretty damn good. By the time you're done with the lineart at a larger scale, shrinking down actually leaves you with pretty decent outlines. Hinting simple shadows on a grayscale, and repalette later is a pretty damn good streamlined method.
Although like [E] says, there might be more beneath the surface than what meets the eye, as he's been doing this for years.
Title: Re: Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm - Crowdfunding Campaign
Post by: Iced on May 30, 2014, 06:15:44 pm
The non lineart method ( I havent seen the video cuz its blocked at work but the description reminds me of the blotch method ) is a animation method for animating in large batches. The ammount of work that styleos puts out is enormous, he has probably gone over several methods before settling on the one that's faster for him.
Title: Re: Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm - Crowdfunding Campaign
Post by: Just No Point on May 30, 2014, 06:22:27 pm
It is probably a quicker method as well than doing the line art 1st. So the programmers can get the placeholder sprites ASAP and get to coding while he refines them later. And for aesthetics like color positioning it could be useful too. Line art method wouldn't let you take advantage of contrasting weight colors for certain effects. Not that I know they are thinking that deeply on it but you never know =p

Normally I wouldn't bump a topic unless I had some serious info here but good news for Indiegogo backers
Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm Level Up Tournaments and Alpha Access Start This Week!
Starting this Thursday (August 21st) and running through December 18th, Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm will stream every Thursday in the 2014 summer and fall tournament seasons of the premier fighting game promoter Level Up’s “The Runback!” show which streams from the New Super Arcade in Walnut, California.

What’s more, players are competing for $1,000 in cash each season, so we’re in for some exciting high level competitive Yatagarasu play! Don’t miss this!

Also on August 21st, the same Alpha build to be featured on The Runback will be released to Beta Access qualifying backers from the Yatagarasu AoC IndieGogo campaign!

I dabbled with the original game for about 20 mins; I've enjoying it a lot. Feels just like the vintage stuff (which I've grown to prefer), really pleasant break from today's products. Wish there was some other way to get in on the AoC beta though. :(

The developers are sharing screenshots of their WIPs. they are placed their game in the hands of the Steam Community via Steam Greenlight. For more information, please click here (http://shoryuken.com/2014/05/29/yatagarasu-attack-on-cataclysm-developers-share-new-screenshots-submit-game-to-steam-greenlight/).
That spiriting process makes way more sense to me! I'm glad this topic got bumped.

:D An alpha version is cool but a beta would've been better. The new intro looks really nice, i can't wait until this Fall to get the full game.

Darn it I don't have my controller on me. Anyone else have this and know if any of the stages are new and/or have any of the background characters added from the campaign yet?
I checked a few but got to head out soon and keyboard takes me forever =p

Yeah, about that, 2500 of those who backed $10 and over get alpha access today. Check your mail for the Steam kay, even your spam folder. I got in.

Hello, Shiza from the Yatagarasu dev team here.
An update on development progress will follow later, but today I have a quick update with some details about the arcade location testing in Japan and a message from the team about the Alpha release.
NESiCAxLive Version Location Tests Location tests for the NESiCAxLive (arcade) version of Yatagarasu AoC will be held over Sept 19-21st* in 4 game centers in Japan. This is the first opportunity to get hands on with this version which features the first new character, Azure, so if you are in or can visit Japan (Tokyo Game Show will be held on the same dates), please drop in and try it out.
Participating arcades are: Akihabara HEY Taito Station Osu (大須) Taito Station Namba (難波) Taito Station Tenjin, Fukuoka (福岡天神)
There will also be questionnaires about Yatagarasu AoC available in the arcades. Feedback from the questionnaires will be used as reference by the Yatagarasu dev team and will affect the development of the game, so please take a moment to fill one out.
Here is the announcement of the test at Famitsu’s website: http://www.famitsu.com/news/201409/11061144.html
Alpha Version Testing On August 17th at the summer Comic Market event. we distributed the latest PC version of Yatagarasu AoC and released the same version to backers on Steam. The dev team members were excited to see Yatagarasu on Steam for the first time and happy it went well.
One thing we learned from this release is that releasing even a work in progress build is extremely difficult. It takes a lot of tinkering with the code to make it releasable and to make sure that play data and feedback can be processed.
The Alpha version is still very much a work in progress, but hopefully gives a good idea of progress and the direction development is taking. The release has been valuable for the dev team as we are receiving lots of feedback from the release, and it’s already been a great reference in development. Thank you to everyone for your feedback and opinions.
Please look forward to the next version.
Shiza

Development Update As discussed in previous updates, character art production has run extremely behind schedule, but the end is finally in sight and we expect work to complete by the end of this month. Kotaro only has some final adjustments remaining and Aja is due to completed by that time.
Game is slated for FALL 2014, looks like they're catching up. We might have a new game in our hands soon >:D
Anyway, here's some Azure eye candy (http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt305/cci_walt/AzureReppuken_zps34b7a2c7.jpg)

When you’re at super selection, please have the choices display super input as well as the names. Previous versions of Yatagarasu did show the inputs, but removed them from the Alpha release to free up the man hours required prepare the input graphics and minimize localization work. In our defense, SFIV uses text only in its super selection screen!
Getting the message for a 1 hit combo looks silly. [Trisection] I used to think the same way and in previous versions we didn't display the combo counter for only one hit, but many modern fighting games now displaying combo counts from one hit, so we’re following that trend.
We follow bad trends!

Not surprised at all. Horrible trends fit a game with a horrible parry system like this game has.

Those are some really terrible excuses for not polishing the game, ugh. Whatever, the game is just a terrible watered down version of Third Strike.
Thank you, it looks like they removed that awful combo font.
As opposed to replacing it with tiny illegible font? Great.

^ To add what Uche said, the game has been pushed back until next year.
