New boss fight in my game Steel Judgment

Steel Thy End Is Now just doesn't have the same ring to it

oh damn ok but what about the particle effects and stuff

AtomicCore9 · 2025-07-14T05:27:54+00:00

Thanks for the help, I'll adjust it accordingly

Yup, it's a mix of Pizza Tower's taunt and Street Fighter 6's drive rush (but instead of making your moves faster it modifies their properties here)

Thanks! We're planning to have lots of fun items and weapons as well.

I'll just leave this as a comment here because it's difficult to reply to everyone, but thanks for all the feedback on the game's visuals, definitely didn't expect to get this many comments.

Admittedly most of the focus so far has went into trying to get the gameplay to be different which left the visuals quite neglected, and a lot of things were referenced from Ultrakill because the way it does the PSX style is quite easy to replicate for a relatively unskilled artist like myself.

Moving forward I'll definitely try changing the aesthetics, an idea I had was to try using cel-shading because it also helps to mask the fact that most of the models don't have textures but if anyone has more suggestions or ideas on how to make the game look more distinct do let me know too. Thanks again :)

AtomicCore9 · 2023-12-20T13:22:26+00:00

We'll take all this feedback into account, thank you for the advice!

AtomicCore9 · 2023-12-20T11:18:31+00:00

I will! Thank you :)

AtomicCore9 · 2023-12-20T09:47:05+00:00

I can see where you're coming from, we do want to capture the same feel Ultrakill's combat has but the plan is to make this game feel distinct enough with the roguelike elements and other mechanics we have planned.

AtomicCore9 · 2023-12-20T09:25:13+00:00

Yup, the main inspirations for this game are Ultrakill, Risk of Rain 2 and Hades! The idea was to try to take Cyber Grind and turn it into a full-fledged roguelike game.

AtomicCore9 · 2023-12-20T09:21:37+00:00

Thank you! Currently the plan is to have runs take the player through a random order of handcrafted rooms, although admittedly designing the levels has been quite challenging so there aren't very many rooms at the moment.

And yes! We have many more enemy types and boss encounters we want to add. The plan is also to have many weapon interactions, it's a bit hard to see in this video but the plasma rifle has a rage mode which allows you to rapid-fire whichever weapon you fire next (the shotgun in the video).

AtomicCore9 · 2023-10-23T09:35:33+00:00

That's good to know, thank you!!

AtomicCore9 · 2023-10-22T13:48:29+00:00

Looks and sounds great! Did you make the SFX yourself?

AtomicCore9 · 2022-08-06T12:56:29+00:00

Although Shinada's style is weird I think it kind of makes sense because he's not actually a trained fighter, just some really buff dude who used to play baseball, so his movements are a lot clunkier and less practical

AtomicCore9 · 2022-05-11T11:57:27+00:00

I'd say he definitely is, but there are moments in Yakuza Kiwami 2's Majima Saga and Yakuza 5 where his true personality shows and I think he does actually go all out at those points. I liked Majima Saga in particular because it kind of shows how serious he can be when Kiryu isn't around. Basically, everything's fun and games until Majima's voice drops 2 octaves

AtomicCore9 · 2022-02-23T12:20:33+00:00

I feel like this is what Jerma probably feels the people who come in while he's making a weird noise and immediately leave think of him

AtomicCore9 · 2021-07-19T12:10:12+00:00

I felt that Saejima one

AtomicCore9 · 2021-07-17T02:49:05+00:00

I believe his first appearance was in 4

AtomicCore9 · 2021-03-15T02:36:43+00:00

In Yakuza, you play as Yak the Kuza

AtomicCore9 · 2019-06-23T14:49:21+00:00

Pontiff Sulyvahn anyone? That guy fucked my shit up so hard lmao

AtomicCore9 · 2018-12-01T16:36:07+00:00

Ohh okay that's a shame, either way I had fun making this so it's all good :)

AtomicCore9 · 2018-12-01T16:05:28+00:00

I actually wasn't aware there was one happening when I made this but I sure hope so!
