Also I created a message board at forum.bwootgames.com, if anyone is interested :p

I already have the next patch underway with a big feature I'm looking forward to.. multiplayer lobbies! Pretty much SSF4's Endless Lobby mode.

Avatar Fighter Forum

I just added a link at the top of this blog for the new Avatar Fighter forum.. Go discuss stuff!

If you have questions/suggestions or looking for people to play against, post a message! It'll at least be more organized than following blog comments :)

Delay

Patch contained a nasty bug, so had to pull it from review at the last second. Well no worries, it'll be a while before it comes out now but there will be some additional things in the patch when it comes out- it'll have two patches worth content! Just gotta test it for bugs better :I

Patch v1.1

Balance patch v1.1 is coming! It's in peer review RIGHT NOW

• bunch of tweaks/buffs/nerfs to many moves
• fixed dashing issues
• fixed some blocking issues
• new move: Flying Kick!
• Quick Match now creates a match after 3 seconds
• Custom Match renamed to List Matches
• should be fixed: hanging on the character select screen in online match
• Leaderboard display fix
• Custom avatar moves are now stored

Also: Here's a funny stream of the guys at FinestKO playing some AFO, good stuff! (starts at 32min)

Fan Videos

Let it be known, there is nothing better than watching people play your game! I present these wonderful videos posted by some kick-ass fans!












It is also pretty awesome getting destroyed at your own game by someone who has mastered their moveset, as demonstrated right here:

New Promo stuff

Just for fun, here are the new promo shots and box art for AFO!

Dangit

Well, the game wont be coming out in August!
A bug was found (USB memory unit stuff) so it'll be another week til next review.

I'm going to tweak the Trial mode while I'm at it, to lure the new players :) I think getting to try out your custom avatar with 4 moves/2 supers should make the demo more fun.

Also, on Reddit someone linked my trailer! -
"This actually looks extremely cool."

In Waiting

The game is in peer review.. fingers crossed!

In the meantime here is the trailer I've been working on. I think it'll do the job :)

Progress Report

Hit a snag this week in AFO- I submitted the game, only to discover afterwards it ran slowly in low lag conditions. So I pulled it! I think I have corrected the problem and should be going into review again this weekend. Damn you tricky networking :I

Also been working on a trailer for the game, so that'll be nice having an actual video to send around that isn't just an old work in progress capture.

Avatar Fighter Online

Avatar Fighter will be getting a new version soon- Avatar Fighter Online!

It will be a stand alone version for the same low price of 80MSP and will feature online multiplayer, leaderboards, practice mode and two new fighters!

Here is the first of the two new fighters: JILL. She is a very projectile based character, more so than even Jimmy!
