MK Realm of Souls

[Kaandorpius]

Update: December 2011

We are back in business!!! 

So here's the deal folks. MK RoS is back with a fresh team of people giving the old game new life in HD. For future updates just follow the latest posts in this thread. My initial post will remain under the double horizontal rule so the folks can see the original project as to where it all started with. The new project is a collaboration, and we all just do what we love, and what we do best.

There will be several changes in comparison to the old demo, so expect major differences as posted prior to this new project. We'll keep you informed from time to time, to let you know whats happening.

Allright folks, how you doin,.. 

Ok, kreeddem kinda got me fired up with his MKgothica, wich is looking awesome by the way. I did help out a little, but in the meantime i figured i could make my own Mortal Kombat, so i started working on that.

Theres plenty to do before its even worthy to send it out as a demo, but i wanted to share at least some of the stuff i have done. First of all the title screen i'm showing here isnt what i was going for, but it looks okay for now. The versusscreen will get something for the characternames to make it look a little better. Next to that is the BloodChamber, the first and only stage i have so far. Only the lifebars are made by kreeddem, since i used his version to get started with, but all that will be replaced later on.

I have made new colorpalettes for several characters, but i'm working out some new characters too, and a new look for Raiden, or perhaps Dark Raiden. What you see is what i have so far, but you gotta start somewhere. I'll probably make some more concept characters before actually starting to put them together. At least Morana gets a green light,..  theres still to many buffed up dudes in Mortal Kombat,.. we need more chicks.

Ok,..  i finally have the Lifebars done, and i finished my second stage; City of Souls,..  with stagefatality,.. yay.

Okey,. Dark Raiden is now under construction, this we'll be the first thing i want to finish before i'll come with any further updates. He's gonna take a while, but its looking good so far. Hope you like his versus pose.

I'm here only to present my current work to the people, i know i've been absent from the forum for a while,
but i'm a busy guy so excuse me for neglecting the project a bit.

I've made a demo for the people to play, its flawed and raw, but it looks great so far. You'll see a bit oif Dark Raiden, and he's still far from done, but it gives some idea. The other characters are basically the same as the original mkp4, additional fatalaties will not be found in here yet.

Just have some fun with it,..  greetz Kaandorpius

Actually i think hornbuckle is pretty good,.. i mean in MK2 he is basically a green liu kang in the background, but i know what you mean.

I want to use old characters and give em nice color palettes for a fresh look, next to that i will create new characters assembled from the original characters of the game. Also i am still looking for SF the Movie, and MK mythologies sprites to do so. But i'm not sticking sektor in another colorpalette with a new name and a different fireball,...  there are already 12 of those i've seen so far.

About the new fatalities and stage traps,.. well i'll need some help with that, i have some ideas though. But you can count on it that every stage will be entirely new, and i hope to create a entirely unique boss. I'm thinking about contacting some stopmotion animators who want to help me out with that. But all in good time.

And well, i dont think of it as a contest, especially not as a race. But you can expect to different MK's yes, guess in the end its a matter of taste.

WOW dude u are one talented SOB, i might not miss Mk blood storm anymore

[Banjo Kazooie]

Why doncha just team up with kreeddem and make a really kick ass MK?  It would be a better quality, have more characters, and it would get finished quicker.  I don't know why everyone who's making an MK MUGEN game doesn't just team up and make an UBER MK MUGEN game!

I'm helping him out anyway, but i'm pretty sure he's got his own ideas about how a MK mugen game should be like. He mentioned he makes the game for himself in first instance, but is willing to share when its done. So its respecting his creativity and getting some done for myself too. Also i think two MK's are a great idea,.. we both tend to make something different, so people can see for themselves what they enjoy more. 

[Dark-Rain]

hmmm about the part to make an mk mugen the way it should be well in this case how abaout a side mk for example mk enhanced it is like a side mk but the fact that us fans whant to se more characters is great but non of us whant to se a character that has the boddy of sub zero the head of liu kang and the moves of kenshy for example here it must be unique now if u put for example sub zero to make kano's stance or frame  or to make him do the moves that are in deception now that is a great job a great progres to se 2d characters make moves that are in 3d version now that is unique and about the part of makeng a character is more dificult. anywai this game will roks and about mk blood storm i don't have no clue

LOL!  Hush!   

[Banjo Kazooie]

when is it gana be done?

[devilmanozzy]

Well this is getting rather confusing. So how many MK projects are happening right now?

For the heck of it, I may make my own ninja soon, and I'm giving him moves of his own and a back story. Then release it so all these projects get some fresh meat. LOL

But seriously, I suggest if you are doing your own game, to focus on new moves and such too. Please lets not make another dozen colored ninjas that all do the same moves.

Sounds good, but that aint so easy to do. 3d games have shifting camera positions, characters overlap eachother, backgrounds have to be colored in for transparancy etc,..

I want to incorporate characters from WarGods,.. basically the first MK like 3d fighter from Midway. For the fun of it i just made a animated gif from Kabuki Jo. (its a bit fucked, but gives an idea) And like i said, i want to,..  but i need people to help me out with that, cause i cant possibly do it all by myself.

[spikeriley]

Looks good.  i hope to see more soon.

Will there be any characters from Mace: the Dark Age or Bio F.R.E.A.K.S. added?  Good luck with Kabuki Jo.

Thanx for the compliment,..  Well i kinda want to stick to the digitalized characters so i'm keeping my eyes open. Mace as well as BIO are weapon combat games, so thats a no, and i think their not detailed enough for an MK game. The gameplay has to be leveled to a certain point. All characters must be playable as a regular MK character to a certain degree. War Gods is very simular to MK, so it has good potential for participating.

Whatever i add, it still must remain Mortal Kombat.

[ade2004]

that game might produce some nice crossover chars, but I would stick to mk chars

[Kaandorpius]

Let me get this straight,..  The gameplay should remain Mortal Kombat. I'm looking for digitalized characters i can work with to create new original MK characters. Except for some chars from Wargods wich run on a simular fighting system.

I got a shitload of crazy ideas, but i dont know many will survive. If it sounds good, but it doesnt work for the game, i'll take it out. I've known mugen only for two months now, and i learn by just trying stuff out and making a lot of backups. I dont know my full potential, and i dont know the full potential of the engine. I got some people helping me out, so its at least the game is progressing.

But its just about making something fun while havin some and sharing it in the end. And i'm only in for the good stuff.
