In Progress River City Ransom Zero - RCRz Kunio-kun V1.0

[Die_In_Fire]

Finally got some time to work on this guy. I still need to give him some special moves and change his idle and other stuff but all the basics are there:

 

[Die_In_Fire]

I'm thinking on changing the title from"zero" to "renegade", since zero doesn't represent the game anymore.
Which one do you think looks better? I prefer the one with renegade in white.

Thank you man, this game is so fun! But I have a question for you
Using the ↓↑A or ↓↑A2 action does not consume MP? This already seems invincible…

I personally think the first one looks better, the one with the red font at the bottom!

I prefer the blue one. Though red would be my choice if it were Revenge instead.

Thanks!!
As it’s just a 1st demo where I’m looking for feedback, I let all moves to not consume any MP so people can try the moves all the times they want. But the MP bar is there and moves will cost MP for next updates.

Okay man, thank you for your hard work! Looking forward to the next update.❤

Man, there is another question: lack of prompt to move forward when there are no enemies (GO!)

I prefer the white one because why not, since the original font for "Renegade" is red. It's just to imply the font color doesn't matter as it stands out to be about street fights. And it's in Japan too, I believe.

First one ! Red text.

Oh yeah that will be included in updates, but not on every stage.

About the title color, thanks for the opinions guys!

 

[Die_In_Fire]

Just a small “something” I wanted to do for a while. Will include this little zombie mode in the next update. Hopefully in time for Halloween.
The mode is still in its rough shape. Need to change lot of stuff.

 

[Die_In_Fire]

Sorry double post.
1. Any music recommended for this zombie mode? I was thinking maybe master of darkness’ epitaph, but maybe it sounds too different.
I like Friday 13th and nightmare on elm street ost but they are overused IMO. Maybe some megami tensei…

2. I want to build a China town stage so I need recommendation for Chinese environment. I’m taking assets from Vice Project Doom and maybe will use from phantom fighter too. Any other recommendations?

Ofc in both cases, please 8bit

I'm a big fan of Lucio Fulci, especially his Zombie soundtrack, there's 8 bit versions floating around.

Ohh that’s a great remix!!! I love Fulci (and giallo movies) too!! I used that same song, among many others from zombie movies for a private version I did 12+ years ago from bWWd’s Battletoads mod (with his authorization) which I called “they rare going to eat you!”. Among the original songs I also used some versions made by an artist called islandrocks from YT.
Thanks for sharing!
I’ll use that and will use stages on nighttime for that mode.

If somebody has recommendations, please be my guest.

 

[Die_In_Fire]

I changed the shooting animation, and near the end of the video you can see a remade dock stage.

 

[Die_In_Fire]

small updates:
-Added two custom forest stages for zombie mode called “river city zombies”. I want to change the color of the second forest to make it darker, but Libresprite don’t allow full replace color (that I know of, I could be mistaken). I know with one click you can do that with other programs.
-remade select character screen. Maybe I should change the color of the arrows to fill white?
-remade title screen with Renegade on it.

Advice needed: what should be a good spawn/respawn animation? Just idle?

 

[danno]

If you need anything changing like darker colours I can help you out with that, respawn animation should be a bullet attack that knocks all enemies down, maybe like a spinning lariat with guns

ohh I didn't specify, i meant for "regular Kunio".

here I'm attaching the stage. I tried to do it with Gimp, but it froze and I had to reboot

Wasn't sure exactly how dark you wanted to go so I made some guesstimates, also fixed the palette for you because it had 255 colours and there's only 14 colours originally.

yeah I always keep the palette very big because sometimes I use random stages as base and build new stages from that, by keeping it with many colors I dont need to edit palettes or add colors later, just need to build on whats already there.
