I agree. Any chance of a youtube video or the like yet?
I've been following this for a while now, and it's looking very promising. I'd love to even submit a character but then I realize I've not got one to my name.

Keep it up!

Not just yet. Right now, we have been working with partially animated characters. While they can do some attacks and can pummel the opponent out of the arena, we would like to have at least some of the characters fully animated and the supporting code in place before we produce another video. In the meantime, we will keep working on refining the game and adding other features.

Thanks for your interest.

Wow guys! You've been making lots of progress on this. And to think, this just started as some idea I thought I was going to get flamed for I haven't checked around here in awhile (I've been too busy with movies/college/chicks/partying) and I have to tell you guys, I am impressed. And I feel so special seeing Battlezone one billion and some of my models still being used

Anyway, I was wondering if there's a site (not forum) with all your guys' progress so far so I can link to it from my site, crydrk.com. Sort of like a consolidated game dev diary or something... I dont seem to have found such a thing anywhere. So please tell me a link!

Nope, although I think we could start up a blog if the team likes that idea.

Hi Crazy,

Long time, no chat.
Quote: "I have to tell you guys, I am impressed"
Thanks!
That means alot coming from you.

Quote: "I feel so special seeing Battlezone one billion and some of my models still being used"
Well....we are using them, but it would be great to have Tikatta, Drew and Yayap fully animated. . . . [hint, hint] heh heh

Quote: "I'd be willing to host something of the sort if yall'd be interested"

Thank you for the offer! I will discuss it with the core team and we'll get back to you.

I know it's a little on the late side too be asking, but do you need any extra help? I can code and I can also texture somewhat, but don't hesitate to say no if you don't feel I'm needed.

Anyone ever had the feeling that a long, heavy climb has finally come to an end? That you can stand at the top and look around?

We have exactly that feeling in the development of TGC Heroes at this moment. Just to update everyone, the latest internal build was 0.35, and we're currently working on 0.40. In 0.40, we want several levels available ánd some animated characters.

At one point, we decided to no longer say "animations" again and treat it like a swear word, so we abbreviated it as "A's", animating was "A'ing" and animator was an "A'er". But, with some help from Jerok and Chris learning to animate for himself (go Chris!), we've finally gotten some working, animated characters! So, we're at the point where we can write out 'animation' again and rolling towards 0.40 - so expect screenshot heaven... soon.

In the category, whoa: in the Soulhunter thread, bmaczero proposed that Soulhunter should be in TGC Heroes. Well, we're far ahead of that and thus a surprise update:

NEW CONTESTANT:

Soulhunter

It seems that this team is working well together.

This is all really nice work, it´ll be fun to try this game.

Video update. We've just reached a milestone in development (version 0.4), and we decided what better way there is to show you what we worked on than publishing a video? Although the TGC uploading thing failed once again, and I had to publish it to my own website. Sigh. Luckily, there's also Youtube.

High Res Video (12MB)
Youtube

A minor note: For some reason, some letters fell off the video. I fixed it three times, but it keeps happening when publishing - as I promised the team to bring this video out tonight, here it is.

Also note that the credits only involve the most active members, and the stuff that is already included. They'll grow much larger over time.

Yeah, it's mostly the good ol' Fraps playing up there. Usually, you'd get 150% or 200% the speed in some parts of the video. Glad you like it, Jeku .

Nice, or sweet, which ever word you prefer. It was good enough for me to turn my music down to hear the commentary.

Can't wait - I might even try to offer some input myself (Also, I think it was you Rami, who asked to use Onima, the project with her in is postponed, with what will be my main project after my text adventure, luckily the project will have a character who'd be able to use her type moves, if you're willing to use it - I'll provide more info closer to the time. I will provide the model as well.)

Good luck with completion, it has come a long way since The Crazy's thread.

You guys using collision maps? I hope so, for something like Smash Bros where its completely Side-Scrolling and almost always only collision on the top of the mesh. By collision maps I mean an extremely simplified version of the map made out of plains, and this map is hidden / used for collision. If you're not I'd recommend it, will probably throw you a few FPS, especially with the higher detailed levels like that PoPr one being worked on.

Great work so far though.

All:
Thanks for the comments! They are very encouraging.

Deathead:
I am in the process of making a slight revision to the Cheeseburger model and textures. I have not rigged or animated it yet either. it should definitely be in the next update.

Seppuku Arts:
Okay, we will look forward to the model and any input you might have.

Ruccus:
Rami suggested using collision maps long ago and it's a good idea, but I have not implemented them yet. The vid makes the game appear to be moving much slower than what it really does. We are running steady between 64-66 FPS currently, and I am happy with it. The PoPR arena will definitely need it though. Thanks for the suggestion.

That'd be John, from the game Recre John by Soharix. It's in Program Announcements, if you're interested. You'll find some of his moves are clearly based on that game .

Thanks for the positive reaction, that'll really lift the teams' spirit!

Haha, thats well cool. It brought a tear to my eye (seriously) to see John flying around in someone elses game. I'm so happy. (This is all due to the fact that John is nearly 2 and a half years old.)

Thank you all for making TGC heroes and that video, you've made my day.

Thanks for the comments C0wbox

Thank you for allowing us to use John in TGC Heroes. Did you see where he becomes a hot dog? We are working to pattern TGC characters after SSB characters, so we wanted one that could have a move like Kirby's rock drop. Since John was always after hotdogs, I made the connection.
