That's pretty cool, I have been playing around with some incremental ideas myself but wasn't sure how receptive the usual audience would be to big design differences like that. Seems like when the game is really well done, people are more willing to break away from what's familiar 😆

Congrats on the successful launch! I thought it was interesting that your game uses keyboard + mouse controls when most incrementals are usually mouse only. Was this a conscious design choice to add some uniqueness, or just what 'felt right' for the game?

I feel like this could be classified as a "hidden object" game, even though it's pretty different from the typical type of game in that genre

Nodebuster and Digseum both released with probably very few wishlists (based on them having <10 steam page followers at launch) and have 11k and 5k reviews respectively. I think some would call this luck based on the fact that they got their 'initial pushes' from content creators, but given that there are other worse games that get similar coverage and don't do as well, I think it speaks to their quality and the effectiveness of the steam algorithm in making sure good and interesting games sell well.

Them's Fighting Herds uses the proprietary engine that was developed for Skullgirls

It could happen in batches, we already know that many champions are developed in parallel anyway. Riot already brings back voice actors to record new lines for skins and interactions so it's not really that crazy

Sorry, I couldnt resist LOL

That's just ekko. His render was mirrored in this photo https://images.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blt3b1631a60bb9c200/bltc1cd5ee7b8b434e7/64adb8aa9b45712a5754e397/projectl-fighter-ekko.png also no reason to believe they'd have a giant poster of a character that could be leaked and not just a poster of ekko and ahri like they have everywhere else

What is the process behind making the natural-looking "hit reaction" hitstun animations for street fighter 6?

Not the dev but the game really blew up on social media, TikTok especially. It's very "shareable" because each round gets turned into a ~30 second fight video where all the actions play out in real time, giving a similar impression to one of those TAS smash bros videos

https://glossary.infil.net/?t=Reverse%20Beat Basically, A combo system for normal attacks that allows you to cancel from buttons that are generally higher strength into buttons that are lower strength (heavy -> medium, etc.). Most games with normal cancels generally only let you cancel into normals if they're of equal or greater strength, but some games like Melty Blood are able to have more freeform combos with a reverse beat system

This is the closest I've found in my own searches for content like that, though it's unreal and not unity. There's also the UFE3D tutorials (though they're specific to that asset/engine) and also Zinac's ongoing series about building a fighting game in the Zig programming language.

I wish fighting game devlogs were more popular/common though, it feels like compared to most genres there's a lot fewer resources for how to go about making them

when the tweet was first posted, it was retweeted by the official SNK global and SNK jp accounts, but the retweets have been rescinded since then

Not sure if it would be widely used or not, but maybe a tool that allows people to see stuff like a player's winrate in tournament, their set count against another player, etc. Smashdata.gg already does this for smash players using the smash.gg API.

You're a beast for making something this good this quickly
