For one, we have fixed any bugs that appeared in the .2 release, but it goes further than that. Firelord has added a new stage and I believe may have another he might add in before .25 drops. He's also working the screenpack a bit.
Andy has been working on...surprises, for .3. Just, trust me, if you love the dark temple stage in it's current state, what he will be providing after this next beta is going to blow your mind. Seriously. He's also sitting at about 70-80% progress on the next two characters after Reptile and Chun.
Sandman as you may know has been collecting a pool of voice actors in order to record custom lines to breathe new life into all the characters, as well add a more professional feel to the story mode as we progress forward. Again, it's very good stuff. He's also been helping quite a bit with sprite edits on the mk characters since I've become a bit lazy in regards to spriting.
And finally, last but probably least, lol, I have been working essentially nonstop to streamline the game and fine tune our systems. The max combo system has been implemented, there is a juggle system present now, a new wall splat mechanic has been added when in the corner (credit to Andy), and I have been editing and balancing every character so their attacks feel more responsive, so the damage feels significant, and so the hitboxes are damn near identical to sf3. Or in the case of the mk cast, resembling sf3 hitboxes. And I've scaled the AI so that if you want to put yourself through hell on level 8 you can, or you can casually play at level 1.
Basically, every character has been worked so much this may as well be a whole new game. Everything feels great when you put our efforts together. And while I've always been terrible at time estimates, I really feel .25 is on the horizon. Like a couple weeks horizon.
Sagat is finished, Ryu is finished, Akuma just needs a bit of damage tweaking, Chun-Li has her hitboxes and frame data redone and just needs AI and some damage tweaks, Reptile just needs AI, Chameleon and Kung Lao need their frame data and damage looked at but have their AI almost fully done, and Scorpion...well he probably will take the longest. There needs to be a couple sprite edits done because he's getting two new moves to make him more offense oriented, but then it's just frame data and damage tweaking.
So please, just hang in there with us a bit longer, We know it's been a long time, but it's because we've made a lot of sweeping positive changes for the project. I promise the next updates will never take this long. I'll also try and get up a video, or some screenshots, something.
Thanks!
