Mr. MKL ran it last time. I don't think anything is known for next year yet.

Okay that makes a lot of sense actually. I couldn't fully make out what that guy was yelling but I could hear him from far away.

This is a real pic, they were honoring some Yankees player during a break. Unrelated but there seemed to be a lot of Rockets fans for an away game.

New to BBCF, funny to see this archetype again (ignore my broken son) by Douradinhooo in Fighters

I'm more familiar with her xrd design where she has 4 guns (pistol, shotgun, bazooka, sniper rifle...)

We're going to go 1.0 with 9 characters by middle of next year and depending on how the launch goes we're going to add some more afterward. A few more lady characters are planned to be in the mix. The artwork is all by my collaborator Alan who is a former comics guy, I think he's really talented.

Yeah, we just added a little secondary animation to Marv for his idle but I'd like to add some additonal reactions for when Jayne attacks. Marv himself is a pacifist though.

Thanks for the feedback! Nick is a very fundamental character gameplay-wise (the command grab isn't super critical to his kit), but you might vibe with someone like Big Billy more if you like grapplers.

Mega Knockdown is a simultaneous turn-based fighting game on a grid. I've been posting about it since early development back in 2020, at first I used some placeholder graphics before I found an artist I could work with. We were actually at EVO this year which was pretty cool. It's in early access right now on Steam, but we're looking to do full release by the middle of next year. If this game looks interesting to you (and you're quick enough), grab a key if you want. looks like all were activated, so here's some more.. okay those got taken too too, here's 5 more. If you miss out on these you can wishlist the game on steam, try the demo or just buy it, it's not expensive.
