One Piece A-Edition Alpha Progress

Wow pretty neat sprites! Keep it up Z!

I'm pretty sure that they already said that you'll be able to tamper with the health and stamina values, right? :S

Great job Z! Is Luffy nearing completion?

Since people are asking on that point. Yes pretty much everything will be in your control. Currently IN-BATTLE stuff is being worked on more I believe.
Those are just menu options that can be added whenever however

Luffy is near completion EXCEPT G2 and a few moves viz Elephant Gattling etc.. Rest its more than done Imo.

You guys can make haoshoku no haki have the same effects that One piece Film Z like this:

Spoiler:

Well, everything EXCEPT the stamina. The stamina doesn't take much time to fill up anyways. Just about 5 seconds and it is back to full. The reason for why we can not have infinite stamina as an option is because that it plays an important role in the game play mechanics; How you can pull out the most effective combos with the least SP possible. It also does some role in keeping spamming moves and infinite comboing away from the game play in a way that only the really good player are to be considered good. Now I can only imagine what would happen if stamina was to be turned off completely...

I completely understand why you guys want infinite SP cheat so bad. Pretty much because in LF2, moves used up a lot of MP and the MP bar itself required a lot of time to recover which just makes the process of learning and trying moves a bit boring. In the coming OPAE, you are going to see how different this is. The SP bars fill up in an instant and the whole game play speed is considerably faster. One thing I know you guys would be happy to hear is that even if you're low on SP, you can still do a move which requires more SP. A drawback is that if your SP goes negative, the character will go to a fatigue state where you will lose the ability to do any moves, run, or jump for few seconds and then the SP bar will start regenerating again. Lying on the ground won't do any buying time either because you're now vulnerable even when you are.
The RP bar, however, will have some options to modify. (The RP bar is the thing concerning hell moves, transformations, or finishers).

@Lima: The link of the picture is not working for me :/.

But Law Sp is lower than guys like Zoro that don't have akuma no mi, right, because he said that his Akuma no Mi requires his energy.

The image is here

Spoiler:

I think he means in the manga/anime Law says he has to conserve his powers since his DF takes large amounts of energy, so his stamina might be lower than others.


Some more progress with item stuff. With A engine we can do more with the items than LF2 so if anyone has suggestions feel free to say anything.

I know lifting is boring but animation wise putting weight in something takes more trial and error than attacks :/



Luffy's heavy lift. Able to pick up boulders, law's spikes, marine's heads, etc.

Think its mostly done, I'll shade it quickly and finish up Law's set

Umm marine's head?? XD
The animation makes his head seems quite heavy..well we have to deal with it
I remember with .A files, we can define SP, HP AND RP points differently for each character so that wouldn't be a problem.

Luffy looks rubbery
great job!

Thanks

Took a little break to redo Sabo


better/worse?

not shaded yet but yea, trying to show more of his face and fix his outfit

Haha XD! It looks better now.
And get to the chatbox if you've got time.

Looks great Z! Don't forget to make the scar on the other side of sabo's face.

Saw this topic today......Pretty sure dat this game will overtake NTSD.......xD

kk, shaded and added a hint of a scar on the other side

Looks great as usual Z. Keep up the good work

Any plans?

just messing around, I'll get back to luffy in a moment XD


dragon claw

Well Sabo only show 3 techniques, it doesn't hurt if you make more of Sabo XD

lol I might XD Figured Sabo will use most of Ace's moves anyways so he has a pretty decent movepool

few more frames

Lool, I like where this is going XD. So I suppose with Sabo, you won't have to charge attack to use armament? This can be a good last hit of a basic combo.
I can see that you're in the chatbox now, but I've got school in few minutes therefore I won't be able to log in.

Well I think all characters with haki will still have to charge their basic combos for haki attacks.  (even doflamingo used haki punches now XD)

Dragon's claw I thought could be >A.  His basic combo I wanted to do something with his pipe for a combo attack.  :p

Sabo'a Attack keys should be set to his haki based attacks while special should be keyed to his fire ones imo.  Also VA should be dragon's breath

blocking out colors and effects..


and suggestions/fixes/etc. plz gimme

Damn thats fine! LIke i said.. stance is better, dragon claw seems nice and fluid for now, really cant see any problem in it :/effects are cool tho

it really looks amazing, and the thing i love most about z's custom drawn sprites is that not only they look awesome, but, same as the a-engine, it lets you do so much more.
with the normal sprites from opgb or opgb2 you wouldnt have had room for so many moves, but with the custom drawn sprites, not only does it look way better, it also removes the need for there to be sprites, and you dont have to count on different sources.

This is why you have such a following Z. You've done one attack for Sabo and everyone loves it like a new chapter of One Piece haha

I wanna see where this is gonna be in a year!

Lol yeah... no buttering and stuff but once this game gets known Z you will be approached by bigass companies XD same goes for A-MAN
Flash9tk : cant really notice "1 new message" right?

It's kinda cool how it's so unknown to so many people lol, but when the time comes.. the world will be at your feet. Well really just people that enjoy one piece haha. Off topic

Sorry Rhino. I'm using my phone and I'm way past my data limit. So it's really slow and I don't even bother to browse unless I'm connected via WiFi. I'll check now though!

I really really liked it! Damn dude.. I so wanna code this right now XD. >A it is! The move should have high Strength value to penetrate through defenses. Makes me wanna get back working on the clashing system as well XD. Also, if all the characters will still have to charge for Haki, is Dragon claw going to have a non armamented version as well??

@Others: Super thanks for all your support! I've been working on the moves Z has made plus few new systems to improve gameplay. Z has shown everything there the way they are in the gifs already.
Added "Air resistance" for when player are knocked with strong attack; They will eventually stop before reaching the other end of the stage as a result of air resistance. I did that because attacks which knocks far away were getting annoying with the camera and stuff, and there was no other way to make an attack look strong other than giving it a high knocking distance. Another thing I've been working on is a system which makes a knocked target "float more" at the tip of his parabolic path without actually decreasing gravity. Idea was given by Z, and combos work really sweet with this XD. A 3rd thing I've just finished working on is the camera. Previously, in LF2, you were used to a static camera which can only scroll in the X Axis. Now, The camera can scroll in the Y and the Z axes too. The Y Axis has proved very useful for some attack like Storm (and Elephant Gattling in the future):

Camera following Luffy doing storm to the sky:

Fussen, thank you fire, Snake, Storm and Law's new slash are all in the game now. I've stopped working on the menus since it started to get boring, but I will get back to it in a while.

Sabo looks really cool and the Dragon Claw is very nice, the effects are perfect.
Z and A-Man, you guys are awesome, i really want to play this game.
So Law is finished?

Your supporters will only grow!

Finally, a camera that follow our own character~ Nice!

Finally done, sorry it took so long. Not used to drawing Sabo left, shading his outfit took longer than I thought



thx guys for the feedback :p Gonna try to get more done soon

Wow, Sabo looks so awesome! Great job Z!

@A-Man: Storm looks good in the game! If you fly up that high, though, I think you should make the sky a little more scenic or something. Like on Punk Hazard, maybe add the winter sky in the background like Nami saw when they first got to the island.

Those animations are clutch lol. Sabo needs to hurry and show some new techniques

Dragon's Breath?


and fire gun

Dragon 's breathe looks cool the way its done yet..nice! And faast damn.
I would like his stance different while shooting fire though (not matters mostly)
Both legs in front and a bit leaned back fire seems great in my mind..
Also his finger seems a bit weird (dont know what exactly)..
+1 man.. :d

his finger might be too long. its also too thick, considering its as thick as his arm

Dragon breath its nice, but the fire gun, its weird his finger are very big.
but great job Z.

I think that Sabo will fight for real in Dressora and Dressrosa is in the end, so we will see his full power

for some reason the finger reminds me of Kaku's nose lol

dragon claw looking amazing. is it possible for this move to work as a grab?

@DarkPhyrrus: Well, the sky looked all blue because no parallax scrolling was done with the mountain. With that, the mountain view shouldn't be moving at all (since it's too far away). Thanks for pointing that out nonetheless!

@Pack: The move is no way supposed to be a grab. It's just some defense breaker cool tackle. You really should start following up with the manga next to the anime. Else, everything will be spoiled for yah =D.

fixed up fire gun's hand, hopefully it looks better

Awesome stuff Z. I'm late to notice, but cool this is what fire looks like now lol

Loved it! Perhaps Hiken should be a finisher ?(and maybe Dragon's breath too. depends on how you do it). Also, put in mind that we don't want to have any forever going projectiles at all; so that fire should disappear after moving some distance (think 750 px will do?). Moves can get too spammy otherwise.

I think dragon breath should be a finisher but hiken should be a normal skill.
Also i think its better to have forever going projectiles i wouldnt like the projectile to vanish in thin air most ts characters should have kh so it should not be too spam the only problem is stage mode

Hey yo guys, I think you all are waiting very patiently and that's pretty good so here's a reward, a GIF of gameplay (only 1 move)..
The gif is pretty big itself so please blame your internet if it is loading very slowly
Here's a bit of teaser

Volcano + Storm:

I won't be doing more of these since there soon will be a video trailer.. Enjoy

liftin bro

Cool Sabo
Is he going to be playable character?

and about the camera
what will happen if there's 2 player and 1 AI on the field, will the camera follow character who use special attack like gomu gomu no storm?

Sabo is so badass @@. I want to play him and Law as soon as possible TT. And thank you Z-Studio for your work.
@Kurogami: wait, if the camera follow the player's move, the other player wouldn't be able to see their character :-?

So cool I can't wait to play the game its so awesome.
nice work.  

Thx guys, we're doing polish on the characters. Adding a few bits here and there


shotgun progress, its an extension to pistol

Looks great right now, waiting for more

@Kurogami&vunguyen: Yes, Sabo is going to be a playable character. Regarding the Camera, it only follows the human players around. In case there is more than one player, the camera tries its best to share the view. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work right, specially since Storm is going as high as that, so we are going to have a Zooming in and out system.
