One Piece A-Edition Alpha Progress

Great work guys! You've made so much progress since i last been here!
Z, don"t you think that the characters heights are wrong? Basing on http://onepiece.wikia.com Law should be much more taller. You should make him taller or make Bartolomeo smaller to keep the balance.

Ah making multiple forms for vergo is unnecessary imo. Just a full body haki mode and normal mode is enough. His S keys will be his bamboo attacks

Can you post your bases in the sprite section next time? You're not on bases, ppl might get them confused for game progress.

Thx very much! Yes I'll make law a pixel or two taller.

i am so crazy  . i just want to play the game so much  . that clash was so awesome  

A-man, there will be some editor similar program like datachanger? And the visual frame maker? For the body / itr (their correspondents)

Dunno about the visual tools, but I could open the beta engine's files just fine with notepad. I would hope there would be a debug function within the game to make hitboxes visible at least.

Well currently, you can open them .a files with a notepad. As for the visual frame maker: You won't really need it I tell you. In the A-Engine, by using a certain "switch", you're able to measure your squares in the grid itself and the Engine will do the calculations to find their absolute positions according to the squares:

A debug mode hasn't been added yet, but it is pretty easy to implement. I will probably release a V0.1 A-Engine on 15th August.

@others: Sorry for going off topic here. I will probably start a new thread to discuss such stuff later.

Finally. Great works guys.

Hey AMAZING work as always, if i'm not mistaken A-Man said that he is going to release the game with only luffy and law at first, but now you're making sanji, zorro, and vergo too? well, i'm not complaining about it, I just wonder how many char you're going to make on the first release?

about vergo, i prefer the two from the left. I think the other two have a weird body.

and about story mode, how about some cutscene on every stage, i mean like whenever you just defeat a boss or some big event happen and the cutscene will pop up.

The first release will probably have Luffy, Sanji, Marine and Law (if polishing is done on time)
Then every now and then we'll release when we have some significant progress (like 3 more characters for ex.)

Ah don't think we'll have cut scenes, everything will be done in game so you can interact with the cut scenes and just punch the person talking if you're getting bored.

K so changing up rifle on Luffy to make it Leap Attack rather than another running move since he already has bazooka and bullet there.


The old one

The Film Z rifle!!It looks much more powerful XD

Well I don't emember Luffy doing rifle in air, but it looks so awesome, that it just need to stay :3

That was taken from film Z (the one where luffy used to clash with Zeifer). Even though we planned for a smaller range, I now believe we should keep it like that (its more downwards than what I expected; thus harder to hit a target, so it might be fair enough as it is now).

thx guys, blocking it in now

The downards of it I thought to hit ppl on the ground level, also might be fun to jump off buildings and attack someone like this XD



how does the distance/timing of it look so far?

That looks really friggin' good Z. Luffy's ai is meant to be annoyingly persistent right? It looks like one of those types of moves.. lol just awesome! +1

Looks very smooth. Maybe some game/engine progreess?
And Z, did you doing any basics for Sanji/Zoro, like "walk, run, jump" etc.

i think it migth look better if his hand is straigth up while hes in the air

look pretty awsome still very nice work (:

For basics none for Zoro yet, but Sanji does have his walk and jump. Doing his run soon.

hm like this?

might lose its arc and the arm but might be more straightforward here. What u guys think?

yess something like that (: seems more anime like a think it should stretch a little more thou o:
but very nice (:

I liked the first one. The arm going down by gravity makes it looks very realistic and rubbery. That's just my opinion though. I would appreciate if people would input their opinions on this.

@Doflamingo: I am going to start another thread for the engine progress and post all my ranting there ;D

@A-MAN wrote:@Doflamingo: I am going to start another thread for the engine progress and post all my ranting there ;D

NICE! Hope you already done joystick controls in game   

I prefer the first one. It's a more fluid transition of power and just looks more badass lol

Even while charging Blueno it was arched.

I think the straight arm backwards works better for this move.

If he was downward smash from the air, then I think bendy curvy arms would work well for that.

Just my 3 cents.
(I don't watch OP doe so idk how Luffy's strechyness works)

I like the first one much better than the second one.
Anyway, just finished watching one piece film Z. Maybe we could include Zephyr as a character because he's badass . Just my opinion lol.

Ah we'll have zepher in the future, not a huge priority atm though.  


thx for the feedback guys, still polishing

edit: done




loading

the rifle look cool but, isn't it look hard to perform this attack? because of his jump so we have to think about the distance before performing this attack or else luffy might jump over his opponent.

@Kurogami wrote:the rifle look cool but, isn't it look hard to perform this attack? because of his jump so we have to think about the distance before performing this attack or else luffy might jump over his opponent.

Yes, its called "skill" what makes the gameplay "hard to master". If you wanna look badass while doing this move, you must know the pros and cons about it (the timing, the distance, the MP at the moment and predict the future stuff).

@Z : Dat loading!

Loading animation is awesome!

ther loading is good and the rifle is amazing

The loading screen is a count down to greatness!! XD I can't wait to see how everyone reacts to this project. Not just this forum....but everyone, everywhere!!

The rifle looks fantastic. I can't wait to try it out because it looks badass.
And that loading screen @@, looking good out there.

thx guys!

few more updates with the platforms

Looks good. I was playing strider recently and I was thinking that OPAE's story mode would be awesome if it shared some of the same elements of game play. Instead of just running straight like in LF2?

Whats striders story mode like?

and Rocketo


we were planning to have thor elephant gun/elephan gun gattling have to use rocket to get high enough before you could use those moves

Looks really good

That Rocketo move looks sweet!

It's a side scrolling platform game and Strider's a ninja. You go "zone to zone" fighting all types of enemies. Sometimes to proceed to other areas light puzzles are to be solved, such as just hitting a switch in another area to open a passage.

Sometimes the end of the level isn't always straight ahead, it's sometimes under, above, etc. It just really varies according to how the level is designed. Based on what stage in OP you're playing on will determine how much of platformer it is. Like punk hazard is more of a straight shot, whereas Dressrosa has platforms now: going through the castle to Doffy to only be knocked out the window, then having to pursue him through the city streets then up those plateaus.

Here's some gameplay: https://youtu.be/8vGzuFl2U1U?t=1m15s

I'm only suggesting there be platforming where it's necessary, since strider and Luffy both have moves to traverse areas vertically.

Also Rocket looks epic XD didn't expect that!! I was wondering how you were gonna regulate the spamming of those. Say if the buildings are all destroyed lol

Looks amazing, I just think that it would've been better if the stretch was a tad longer.

So far what you have done looks great!
KIU!

Alright, added more length to the stretch and shaded it



and in the air


would be cool if the camera follows luffy while doing this XD

Edit:
loop for fun

Ah yea we're planning to have the islands be very platformy. Puzzles and secret passages sound great too XD

Also all the characters would have their own unique way of traveling around.  Luffy's would be stretching and jumping around spiderman like to get around.  Law will be switching between objects and such to teleport around.  Sanji airwalking everywhere, Nami could use her cloud bridges and such, etc XD

Just perfect, good job

Luffy soaring towards the heavens like a Z warrior XD I bet that'll look awesome in game.

little changes to the selection screen

(no spotlight but here will be)

added character names.

For the bounties, shikibukai I thought could be crossed out to show they are inactive. Law's is probably active again, but just thought it might look cooler and just make it a little more unique.

If you make whitebeard, (dead char) should it be X mark on the box info?

legit select screen something tells me I might never catch up to your level   

Something tells me humanity will never catch up to his level.

Just a note. If someone is interested in the A-Engine's progress, I will be updating regularly here:
http://onepiecea-edition.forumotion.com/t597-logsince-8th-august-2014-a-engine-v01

Now THIS is some awesome stuff you got there, i can't wait for when it's released :3

Guys, i have a suggestion. Maybe you guys should postpone Zoro because he actually haven't shown much of his strength in timeskip. Maybe you guys should do other Straw Hat's crew first, like Franky(God he's awesome), Brook, etc. Just my opinion

Well we want to get the main trio out first.  Zoro has a pretty solid moveset, plus the 3 modes we need to get started first XD


suprised marine, happens when you do something big, like giant pistol
