One Piece A-Edition Alpha Progress

elephant gun progress

looks damn cool!

I love to see those animation steps ur doing, so interesting

i dont know what about you guys, but i cant see the elephant gun pic.

me too. I can't see the pic. But anyway great progress )))

added a few frames, still getting the weight of the arm down, dosen't seem strong enough yet...

add a few more "effort" frames when the gun is at back place to give it "strength"...

They're called anticipation frames XD And yea, I'll add one or two, but I'm trying to avoid making the start up time too big otherwise the move would be too easy to dodge. Its fixing up the poses more....

YES it looks so darn epic.. (viewing first time from PC)
the movements are perfect, the wait/delay when we fills in air to his thumb can be a bit faster, along with the 2 extra frames that you'll add up..
can't wait to try this out! XD

I guess there will be an aerial version too later?

keep it up man!

lol thx.  and up Ill do elephant gun air too

few more touch ups



So Luffy has a new mechanic, the quick jump. you press J while in the crouch frames and you'll do a quick jump. Useful for dodging attacks.  You can't double jump if quick jumping, so they're some drawbacks.  

Think it'll be exclusive to luffy and a few other 'springy' characters.  I dont see law jumping like this lol.

Bellamy and Doflamingo look like they can quick jump. Maybe a little motion where he backflip?

A back flip? It's a cool idea, but I think we already have a looot of basic moves for the character's formula. What would a back flip be keyed?
Also, a change in plans. The quick jump will be keyed JJ (just tap jump fast).

-sorry for bad english  -
I like the last g2 version most.
The quick jump is a great idea, and the fact that some of the charecters won't be able to use it makes it more special. With more simillar movement- based ideas every character can have a unique battle strategy.
Elephant gun looks awesome! Luffy becomes a bit OP though...

-sorry for the late response-
nice jump and dodge when the game comes out I think I'm going to pass out  but nice work in progress and I like that elephant gun

Lookin' great

You guys should use sfx from Smoker vs Vergo for bludgeon type attacks(punches, kicks etc). That was done great.. it really got their power across, especially vergo lol

And yea, you mean like the haki charges in there right?  Love the effects in that fight XD

fSince A-man is busy with engine stuff I've been fixin up movements to make them smoother.


touched up roll

Love the movement. Great work Z-Studio.

@dordd1: Thanks! Luffy is not really OP. Law can literally own him if handled by a good player. Plus, that elephant gun, despite the fact that it is going to be a normal move, takes a loot of time charge. I don't see how one would be hit except if he is either too busy fighting someone else or too stupid. I think elephant gun is best used against hordes of enemies or to interrupt a fight between 2 people.

@thunder: Thank you =).

@Flash: Yeah lol. Z has just did some really cool Armamenting effect. Pack or Mark perhaps should rip off the sounds effects.

Oh and about G2, here is a sneak peak :

There is still some new stuff regarding G2 that you guys need to know. I will say everything when I get the time for it (really busy now).

Oh man Luffy look really beast <3 This OPAE look really great even though it just alpha version. So you're include Luffy G2 as well?

Damn! it looks so intense! +1 A-MAN XD

I love the gear second peak can wait to play and the roll nice

Thanks y'all!
@Beta: Yes, I think you can expect a full Luffy and a full Law in the game. Glad we're going to have our first release all legit XD.

Also guys, we've uploaded an A-Engine Demonstration for those whom are interested about the Engine:
https://onepiecea-edition.forumotion.com/t557-a-engine-test-release#26117

Just letting you know that stuff has gone waaay better since that build.

Aman use the new hitsparks XD  The old ones are crappy




Oh and so the new life bars, the heart is the stamina bar.  Also as a gimmick of Law, when he steals your heart your stamina bar disappears.  We figured it would be a 'cleaner' way to show a 'heartless' state when your heart is stolen, and there is the added bonus of disabling your opponent's view of their own stamina bar to mess up their pace.  Also the heart will burn pink when Luffy is in gear 2 mode :p


edit: oh and the g2's jet pistol effects are still crappy pixelated because I still need to make new png effects XD

The sneak peak looks awesome @@. I can't wait to play Law and G2 luffy looks great too.

my life just got extremely better because of the progress, and sorry for the cap, forgot about the rule and i was too excited. On the day of Google interview, i got this surprise!

@A-Man: I think it will be very hard to use elephant gun since it take time to charge, how about exhausted state that will happen when you don't have enough stamina and you try to use some move that take more stamina by force. We can use the move but the character will be in exhausted state after using the move

Anyway BADASS luffy!!! he's really cool now, i can't wait to play this awesome game !!!

Yes, the effects were amazing lol.. Luffy vs Chinjao is gonna be insane!!

Damn those hit sparks look cool :DDidn't even know they were called that. Hopefully with the demo release of a complete Law and Luffy I can make my friend like One Piece.. hopefully haha.

@Kurogami: I think thats already been implemented

Oh, and one more important thing i may or may not have mentioned is that i think luffy's moves should hit anywhere his arm moves, not just the area where it hits. i just find it almost impossible to hit moving targets, or even targets that stand still for that matter. the thing that pisses me off is that i always try to hit someone with pistol and my arm just moves right past him without hitting him, same with bazooka, and pretty much all of his moves.

We took out the exhausted state because it got in the way of gameplay too much, but with timing or some combo you should be able to hit with elephant gun

Alllmost done



Giant Pistol, the non charge version of elephant gun.

it looks really cool!
the thing that i think should be in the game is how 2 years later he can come out of gear 3rd and keep walking without his arm shooting that far back.
example:

Spoiler:

i just think it would be more badass that way

Yeah, I see how it got in the way. Now it's gonna be fast paced and really chaotic.

Did anyone else love the intensity of Fuji's meteor? Just OP lol.. gravity though. I'm too hype to see how you handle guys like him The anticipation is killier :p

Awesome work there man, its great to see you used the smudge tool stuff to give a blur effect, as we can totally use it

and lol yes Fuji had one epic blow there.. XD

wow the progress look awesome i think you should do the elephant gun with arament haki and without it but that just my opinion

Onepiece22 : pLease explain moar.. he DID an arament haki version and one without it too :/

Thanks guys! It's really good to see you people here supporting XD.

@onepiece22: Yeah! >S alone is gonna be Giant pistol. Holding S will armament the fist and have it an Elephant gun as was shown in this template:

Elephant gun must be very effective against defending characters if not instabreak defend.

Edit: Quick Jump already in game:

Tap Jump quickly to do a fast dodge. Very effective against wide projectiles.

awesome I like it when you show your progress

Menu redesign,

thoughts?


https://2img.net/h/oi62.tinypic.com/jqrk1y.png

looks really awesome! i love it
i think what would be cool is if the camera (that takes a shot of the map) moves when you move your mouse. i remember seeing that somewhere but im not sure where...

It looks great. The map really makes you just think, damn the One Piece world is huge. Question: Is elephant gun gonna be long or mid range? Since it stretches.

I can see this getting so big that Eiichiro Oda himself will play it and love it XD

^ I do hope that day comes soon XD

it really is awesome, but won't logo have A-Edition somewhere in it as well? damn Hobo really suits OnePiece for some reason

^ Man I'd love to see that I agree that the logo would work either way.. *cough* not calling A-Man a hobo tho lol *cough*

The Menu redesign looks epic for me.

Cough Don't forget training Cough ^^

Training will be the dummy in vs mode or the training room in adventure :p


Anything else need to add to the menu to be fancier?


edit:

Menu mock up
http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/134/d/0/one_piece_menu_design_by_z_studios-d7icshu.swf

The song might be off sync, but its supposed to match up with the buttons appearing XD

wow! it looks really good! also the song matches up perfectly! great job!
i think what will make it better is maybe the map or the edges of it shaking in the wind, that'd be pretty cool.

Looks great! Everything!
Like riq said it would be nice to add wind but make the map move after the last thing shows but according to the music and i don't know how about you but for me the ship's movement is a bit laggy
Great job guys keep going

Edit: Forgot to add, the compass's shadow isn't moving right. the middle of the shadow doesn't need to move.

Is that an Island in the grand line?

Lol no it's the red line just put horizontally XD

Thx guys :p

-making the map edges move sound good. I'll fix that up XD

-Which part of the compass's shadow do you mean?

I love the map can't wait for the game.

I think that barfix says the compass' needle, and yes, the ship's movement needs to be smother.
Some ideas:
-when moving the mouse over the screen the map moves as well.
-when selecting an Option the Button disappear in different ways like (with flame, with a slash, freeze...) like the habilities of the characters.
