What the best way to create a comic book feel in characters that will eventually be used for a full game....Examples: -comic text popping up that references the opponent in the middle of a match...like an intro effect, but during the middle-flipping comic book pages during super moves(instead of the hyper portraits used in mvc though they serve the same purpose)and occasional "editorial" comments from "the writers" that appear on the top and bottom of the screen(comic-book style of course)I'm sure every character would need the same treatment in order for it to work properly but I just want to know if all of this perfectly "do-able" and what's the best way to set it up in order for me to make it easier to use on the other characters???
All that is just explods. The pages bit might be interesting but it does depend on what you actually want to do. As it's a full game, the best way to do it is inside the common1.cns you put the necessary helpers, just call them. Each character has a variable that matches it's name. So when there is a specific anim to be called it's just "base value of character 1 + character selected variable" fightfx.air and common.snd will help here too.You make stuff match correctly and all you need do is call helpers and explods
Ok thanx and yeah I'm really trying to make the comic book feel as interesting as possible, but I'm having a little trouble with the overall ideas in order to make it seem like a complete package...any ideas...and I also would love to know what the best place to find the right bubbles( i might rip them digitally from the comics) and the resources for the flipping page effect
you can make them your self of look for some images on the web.I might steal you page flipping thing the next time I make a comic book based character.
