Title: NZCR Progress Thread
Post by: Алексей on July 16, 2013, 06:32:49 pm
Hey Guys,

I'll be using this thread as a progress thread. This game is NOT dead. I have been side-tracked and demotivated from it though. To kick myself back into shape, I'm going to try a more orderly approach.

So far, what we have done is:
16 Characters
16 Stages
Screen Pack and Lifebars

There's more that needs to be done though. Currently, as of 7/15/2013, I'm going through each character and fixing any and all bugs in the NZCR characters. Stages will be addressed separately and I'll be making changes to the Screen Pack and Lifebars as well. Now, getting back to the characters. I invite everyone who is interested to submit any bugs you may find to me in some way. You may post them here in this thread, via PM, or even on my site (via PM). I of course will be doing rigorous testing on my end as well. I have a bug tracking document that I've set up to manage them.

The lifebars are being recreated to accommodate the new mechanics.

Let the progress continue!

To be honest, I've seen the various Jutsu clashes that people have added to some characters and it just doesn't look good in my opinion. I don't know if I'm going to do that or not. I'm leaning against it.

Greetings Alexei, how are you doing? I've tested all your chars but i haven't found any bugs or whatsoever, the only thing i didn't like too much was the "ground rocks Fx/anim" when Naruto throws his "Rasengan", it kinda clashes, i think it'd be better if you add a transparent (white or light grey) dust Fx. Same goes for the underground uppercut.
Title: Re: NZCR Progress Thread
Post by: Алексей on July 27, 2013, 06:48:57 am
Hey man, I'm well. As I mentioned on MC, I made new, unreleased effects for Naruto's rasengan a while ago. But, for the undergound uppercut, don't you think that should at least have some sort of ground effect? I mean, he's coming from the ground. lol
Title: Re: NZCR Progress Thread
Post by: Legend Ivanhoe on July 27, 2013, 06:58:03 am
I do think so, that's why i've recomended you to change it (not to leave it with no Fx) for a "White or light Grey" dust Fx, cause a neutral color won't clash with most of stages. Also most of your chars Fx have a great quality and that one looks kinda pixelated (don't know if that's the correct term). I will be willing to make an example for you, and ofcourse it'll be up to you to use it or not, your choice.

Oh, I see. Sorry, I misunderstood you. Yes, pretty much any of my effects that are high quality have been made from scratch by me. The pixelated effects are from other sources like NZC and other Naruto games.

Sure! Let's see what you got. :)

Yeah man. The problem is that when I get back and look at where I left off... it reminds me why I stopped in the first place, lol. Usually, it's something retarded like platforms for NZCR... or just the sheer amount of people asking me to make things that I've explained to them why I couldn't. Or why platforms don't work in the version of the stage THEY downloaded. So frustrating, lol.

I'll also be sure to send you that low res stage once I manage to re-make it :) Problem is, that my school was unofficially closed for 2 months due to the political crisis in my country so they're basically murdering us with school work right now. I have one day weekends now :bigcry:
So I don't get enough time to work on mugen stuff for a while, though I'll make it at some point :)

Motivation is always like that. You have to wait sometimes wich gives you better ideas and all. I'm sure you'll have great releases when you are there again. Also, a character wich you never never made publicly is great. That will be excellent there.

Day into Night transitions are fairly easy coding wise as long as the sprites aint all RGB'd. For some help, if you need it, you should check out Cafe Diss by Dissidia or Avalon by MarkPachi. They did some good transitions man :)

Title: Re: NZCR Progress Thread
Post by: Алексей on May 15, 2014, 01:54:08 am
Well, it took a lot of consideration, but to avoid even more nightmares, I decided to keep the stages separate. Here was the result of the revamp:



     Posted: May 15, 2014, 02:06:47 am
That leaves Hills, Konoha Village, and Forest of Death to be revamped and given interactivity of some sort. Three more! Afterwards, I'll be focusing on character gameplay and possible effect do-overs.

Title: Re: NZCR Progress Thread
Post by: Алексей on May 15, 2014, 01:29:56 pm
Haha, will do. :P

Something I realized about Konoha: It doesn't really have areas that would look right standing on them. You know, there's railings on the roofs of buildings and they're too far in the background. Not sure what I'm going to do with that.
Title: Re: NZCR Progress Thread
Post by: Алексей on May 17, 2014, 05:24:03 am
Konoha Comp:
(http://i.imgur.com/2HGtonI.png)

The clouds roll across the sky slowly, covering the sun which shines through, creating subtle rays over the entire stage. To create more contrast, the foreground has been color corrected with a little deeper highs and lows. Hokage Mountain in the back has been darkened by a bit and blurred to keep in out of focus. This also saves the background from the pixelation that existed before. I think it's a lot less ugly now.

In terms of platforms, there's nothing here that could really work for that kind of thing. NZC stages were designed that way, but this is from a different game. I might add something else to create some stage interactivity, but that's unconfirmed. Personally, I think it's fine without it. Not every stage needs to have same or even similar functionality.

In MUGEN:
(http://i.imgur.com/5v8VFeV.png)
As you can see here, the buildings are too far back to make the tops of them platforms. It wouldn't look natural.

What do you think?
Title: Re: NZCR Progress Thread
Post by: QuickFist on May 17, 2014, 05:48:48 am
I like it, I don't think it needs platforms
Title: Re: NZCR Progress Thread
Post by: Legend Ivanhoe on May 17, 2014, 06:58:27 am
I'm just glad that you're back.  ;D
You could edit the 'movable food cart' in the back, add some wooden boxes and put them in random places at the same level (zoffset) as the chars. Or you can just leave it as it is (i would recommend to add some birds on that beautiful sky).

Like this:

Post by: Алексей on May 17, 2014, 04:58:48 pm
Hey Ivanhoe, yep I'm back (kind of). It's been on and off. I'll see what I can do about random objects; maybe a few crates. I don't know if birds will work their either. Seems kind of out of place and this a tall stage. Normally, you wouldn't see them.

     Posted: May 18, 2014, 04:40:17 am
I did some testing with a crate today and it just seems like it's going to be too much trouble. Mugen doesn't have the capabilities I need to really bring something like that to life. Konoha will be released without any stage-interactivity.
Title: Re: NZCR Progress Thread
Post by: Алексей on May 25, 2014, 04:44:27 am
Hills has been revamped. Check it out:


That leaves only one more to be addressed: The Forest of Death.
Title: Re: NZCR Progress Thread
Post by: Legend Ivanhoe on May 25, 2014, 07:29:31 am
Man this is perfect. You could also add...

Code:
[StageInfo]
zoffsetlink     = 1
[BG Water Dummy]
type            = dummy
id              = 1
[BGCtrlDef  Water Dummy]
looptime        = -1
ctrlID          = 1
[BGCtrl Floating]
type            = SinY
time            = 0
value           =  3, 135

Just to give the impression of the characters floating over the water.

Even if you don't use this advice, the stage is great as it is. Congratulations.

Thanks! Yeah, it's kind of odd, but think of it like this: The space between the open field and the back forest contains a creature who happens to be in front of the tree. Even in Anime, sometimes those eyes don't contain a real body of mass until the creature emerges from the trees to attack or whatever. It's just an example, lol.

Dat spider does he have any other purpose than to be randomly attacked?

Nope, its purpose is to be creepy and annoying... like real life, lol. This one doesn't eat other bugs though. I'm limited by mugen too with what I can do. That spider was more difficult to code than the platforms were.

Title: Re: NZCR Progress Thread
Post by: Алексей on August 03, 2014, 10:57:52 pm
Okay, so I think I'm going to post a total of 4 videos, showing 4 character updates per video. Otherwise, there's going to be a lot of "downtime" between my visible activity the beta release. Just an "FYI" for you guys. So far 2.9 are done.

Updating a character requires fixing them first, because they are naturally "broken" and no longer work in the Full Game environment. After that, they undergo a huge gameplay change. Lots of testing, effect changes, possible move changes/additions. Whatever. Then an AI revamp and then after enough testing I deem them complete and move on to the next one.

He's actually changed a bit since you saw him last. He can combo into supers a lot better than before. Sasuke was too OP when I made my changes at first. His speed and power was practically unmatched. He would rush you, break your guard and destroy you. Rinse and repeat, lol.

What are you implying? That I don't test my own creations? Huh? Huh? HUH? *scoff* I think not!

Most of the time, I'm more busy creating them and adjusting things than watching them fight. AI isn't as important to me as overall gameplay.

Hi. No, I don't like chakra charging. It's a broken mechanic and Naruto characters should not have it. The tradeoff is that you gain chakra from attacking. You don't have to land hits either. You just build chakra as you attack. Certain jutsus don't take any chakra to do, but the supers all do.

After testing this beast, I can say that this is probably one of the best mugen fullgames [to be] made ever. You can literally see the sheer amount of time and work Alexei has put into this project.

Your work is phenomenal as ever bro! :)

Though I have been very busy, I had the honor of working on Sasuke and Itachi, I'm certain the rest of the team got the other two down pat.

This beta will def be worth it.

I still want you to test out everything before it's released. :)

By the way, due to the way that Sasuke has been drawn, palettes are almost impossible to make for him. So, I'm color separating him.

Yep, and I'm re-making the pals for every char, and adding 4 more.
So not only the FX will look better!

Your demo is Great man. I like the way of using combo's. Having platforms for this Game is a plus for sure. Your effects already amazed me from the beginning and I can see that this will get some attention when it's completely done. There is no bug I discovered yet but, I'll let you know if I find anything there.

Thanks man. :) I agree. I really like the new direction the game has taken thanks to the advice of my beta testers. It meant that I had to redo what I had done before, but it's worth it and nice standard to build the rest upon. The only thing that kind of bugs me is the file size, but I fear that it's unavoidable.

The file size isn't a big deal at all. If you upload it to mediafire, people could use IDM to download it. It was easy for me to DL, and I'm the guy with 512kbps ;-;

LOL, yeah maybe just a bit lower. Less spammy, though that's going to be tough with Deidara.

Eh, I would need to pay for MediaFire to do that I think.  Anyways, it really does belong on my site, since I pay for that too. I might as well use it.

In case anyone is wondering, this is where most of my time on the project is going. Kakashi... Here's my DA account and NZC Sprites gallery so you can see what I have so far and keep up to date if you're interested. http://kenshinx0.deviantart.com/gallery/51474282/NZC-Sprites (http://kenshinx0.deviantart.com/gallery/51474282/NZC-Sprites). No worries, the project isn't dead. It's just that A LOT of spriting needs doing and I've been taking breaks often (damn you DragonNest for existing!). It's exhaustive at times, lol.

That's okay dude. I'm used to going it practically alone. Luckily, I have some sound help from Laharl, but testing is pretty much done until there's something to test lol.

I do what I can. but yeah kakashi's animations are so damn awkward and weird I wish I could sprite so I could fix them so he doesn't have to do them all.

You know he won't, he will expect Zaibatsu to do the spriting for him. :P

Nor do mine, but I still make do. Also, we're just joking. I know I have to do the spriting alone. I knew that from the beginning.

Yeah, it fails to do so on so many levels. I end up reading most text as condescending even though it might not be. :\ Anyways, well yeah, but to be fair, I've never even seen one sprite from you.

No Promises. Hell I laughed at my own past work I attempted to draw Laharl from scratch it went about as well as you can guess.

Back on topic with how popular Naruto is I am amazed not so many people have offered help.

Well I'm not that surprised. Just because you're a fan of something doesn't mean you always are willing to contribute. I like Family Guy, but wouldn't want to help with the art of it. It's a pretty natural response I think. Also, people have their own projects usually.
Title: Re: NZCR Progress Thread
Post by: Алексей on November 24, 2014, 04:20:27 pm
So... Kakashi is still in progress and has really been draining my energy and motivation, but what was done recently was:
- Suiryuudan Path Change. Instead of following a basic parabola, the path has been changed to something a little more safe to use. The dragon comes out and up, but takes a sharp arc downwards. This means that the only way to really dodge is it in the air. Even then, if you're too low, you'd get hit.
- Kamui revamp. New effect and startup. The Sharingan eye is gone.
- Bug fixes and the usual.

Other than that, I'm (still) trying to sprite or resprite some moves. I'm just not happy with them.

Well, the original artists decided to give Kakashi extremely awkward moves for just basic attacks. I decided that they had to be redone to look more natural, but I can't sprite worth crap. Because of this, my first attempt needs to be redone. I don't know what it is really. They look good animated in a .gif, but for some reason in game, they just don't work.

I might. Not really sure about that.
