In Progress Rhythm of Destruction MAXED OUT!

[maxman]

First of all, I wanna thank @Mr.Q! for giving me permission on using his Rhythm of Destruction Beats of Rage Remix 2 mods to create an expanded version of it with more features. Not only will I add some/more features, but I'm also going to update the environment of this classic action sidescroller into a whole new level. Such updates include running animations, 4 special moves, 2 super moves, 4 attack buttons with 2 punches and kicks like KOF series or punch-and-kick combos (2 buttons) (I need to decide on that), wide screen, allowing 4 players to join, updated select screen, animated stages, new HUD, stage intros, challenging adversaries, and more. This will include all playable characters from the RGB editions of ROD, minus the Street Fighter ones. Please excuse the HUD. I will change it to something unique later.


As of now, this is what I have. Slowly but surely, this will have lots of updates, so it will take a long time to make. Each character will have their own colors, opposed to the use of the old global palette.

I'll make a video of its update in the future.

This is going to be good

Sounds Like An Awesome Update!
Can’t Wait To Play It! Take Your Time It. It’ll Worth The Wait!

Im Hoping You’d Add Tia Langray As A Playable Character With All Her Movesets And Supers

I Think She’ll Be Perfect For This Update.

Yep. I assure you the gameplay will be advanced. I couldn't keep it quiet like before. This is why I started to share this.

LOL I was not prepared for any new character suggestion, but I had only a very few characters in mind I would (like to) add. Even though I would love to add Tia from Breakers into the roster, she lacks KOF sprites. As of now, I'm not ready to add more characters, so I focus more on updating the characters especially players with new movesets. If I have time to add new characters, I'll do it. Thanks for the character suggestion though. She'd be a very great addition in it.

EDIT: OK. I just created a poll for the working title.

EDIT 2: When "Other" is in the options, it means you can pick what name that suits better than the ones in the choices/options.

Good idea!
Curious to see how it will play and how advanced it will be compared to the "historic" base mod

 

[machok]

MAXED OUT!! really good title choice

 

[NED]

And I voted MAXED OUT as well ^^
I think it's important that the title sounds "unique" since there are tons of clones of this game with minor changes.

Does anyone know where Athena's portrait is originated from? I'm trying to look for the source of it, but I cannot find it.

I wonder if it's not a custom / edited protrait from another kof than 2002.
And the creator of this base mugen character may have edited into this costume.
Not sure. I cannot remember.
I have memories of a french creator in early mugen days.

The idea of Athena's transformation popped up in my head a while ago and I thought it would be cool to see her transform with a single rotated circle move, but in a specific rotated command per outfit while she blocks. She'll change outfits between '94 (or 95) to XI.

I will add a command list for players in pause mode, just to avoid the confusion on how to rotate specifically.

Wasn't it CCIronMugen? That sounds like someone was a good Mugen creator at that time.

If I cannot find that portrait, then I'll change the '02 sprites to a different, mostly XI or XIII.

Not Iron Mugen...
I'm pretty sure it sounded like a female name.
And he/she had a shorter career. perhaps 2-3 years.

I don't know who that was. Maybe this one will refresh your memory with Athena edits?

Already checked yesterday, but seems unlisted.

I should've put the other names Yellow Edition or Gold Edition in the voting options, which I forgot to put in the first place, but I'm already too late. Maybe either of them would sound good.

Which one of the two sleeves (right and left, not middle) is much better for Athena? I see somebody edited the sprites. Probably two people edited the sleeves on their own. Do not pick the middle because I'm going to use that as a main. (Two options)


For Axel Stone, I'm thinking of having a new design/look for him because what we have is the Duke Edwards edit and he resembles kinda too much to him. Time to ask about his fighting stance. Which stance would fit better for Axel when he's in KOF/SNK style? (Three options)

For Athena, I would recommand using "2"
The 1 is more like based on KOF XIII model, and would look strange on slim type characters you see in classic KOF (94-XI)

I assume you chose none, right? I would choose no. 2 for the sleeve if there was a costume switch in the select screen, but it's possible that you can switch costumes in it. There could be some option to change with her high school uniforms in 3 choices from KOFXI-XIII. One of them can be a palette swap/change.

I choose 2, actually. ^^

Are you going to create his sprites from scratch? or editing other character.
I prefer 2.
