First off; 2020, amiright?
it was one hell of a rollercoaster; full of highs and lows for everyone.
I was fortunate to achieve some crazy things during quarantine.
Graduated College, got a job two weeks later, lost that job 4 months after that (F**king Covid). Got diagnosed with spinal stenosis, Was unemployed for awhile; used the time to drop Alpha II. 3 months later got another (Better ) job; All in one year.
Rollercoaster is an understatement.
All things considered though, I'm blessed to be in the position I'm in. My new job keeps me really busy, which is why you guys haven't heard from me since Alpha II dropped last July( Gonna work on that lol.)
Speaking of Alphas, onto what your actually here for;
Alpha III News!
--------------------------------------------
Alpha III is shaping up the biggest update yet!
Almost everything has been reworked from the ground up; Including (but not limited to):
Completely reworked classes (Tech/Tag/Free --> Control/Standard/Variable)
10 New playable characters
Reworked/Updated Movesets for most of roster
New fight animations/Installs
1 New Story Saga (Buu)
3 New Side Sagas
1 New Game Mode (Hercule City Arcade)
New Mechanic (Transformations!)
and much, much, MUCH more lol
There are still a few things that need to be ironed out (Tag system, gameplay bugs, total file size (too damn big!)) But progress is progressing!
So, TLDR;
Alpha III completion status as of 3/18/21
Core Mechanics Rework - 80%
Character Updating/Reworking - 12.5% (2 of 16 complete)
Buu Saga Scripting - 100%
Side Saga Scripting - 25% (1 of 4 complete)
Story-Side Saga Building/Cutscene editing - 5%
Menu/Tutorial updating - 0% (lol)
As you can see, I still have quite a bit of work ahead of me. Life and work permitting, work on Alpha III will continue without interruption. As i get further along, i'll try to be better about updating with progress and such.
And this is just the beginning. (Alpha IV? DLC? who knows?)
(I do.) (Both of those are happening.) (More on that later lol.)
Until next time,
FijiSama
