Introduction & General Discussion

April 1st, 20XX. KH-Vids.net has survived a devastating hack attempt, but the culprit is still at large. Staff have tracked a likely suspect to the Locklands, a remote corner of the Spamzone which serves as a sanctuary for... dubious characters. Members on the wrong side of the law. To eliminate the traitor, an eclectic team has been assembled, each with special skills to aid in traversing the Locklands. Their mission: Search and destroy. But the locals won't take kindly to an intrusion, and the perpetrator's identity may surprise more than a few...

This is KH-Vids Unlocked, a mock-up fighting game conjured on a whim by the boredom of a couple Spamzoners. For wandering eyes who may not know, the madness began in this thread, when KS posted a Photoshop of a character select graphic with members' avatars swapped into the portraits. Then I completely lost my mind making fake game specs for everybody, a couple others jumped in with music and stage ideas, and, well... the rest is history.

At some point, talk arose of actually making a game out of this. That is a work in progress, and to be realistic, we may never see a fully-realized fighting game - but you never know until you try, and in the meantime it's fun to lay the groundwork and think about what could be. So this group will serve both as a hub for continued discussion of the project, and as a collection of the work done so far and yet to come.

This thread will store miscellaneous assets and eventually provide links to other threads relating to the project. You can also continue discussion from the Spamzone thread here, in the event that it dies down or gets locked. Got any ideas for things you'd like to see in a game proper? Just want to gush about how excited you are? It's all welcome here.

If you'd like to contribute in some way, better to PM one of the group mods than to post here; we're more likely to see it, and hopefully we'll process it more quickly. Just bear in mind that we have a lot of assets taken care of already. (There will probably be a 'help wanted' sort of thread once we figure out what all we want or need, but this is still very much a fledgling idea, so it will take time.)

Someone should make a 'Development' thread in here so we can let the one in the Spamzone die. I could make it if no one else wants to, but I wouldn't to steal anyone else's fun so..

Unless that's what this is for. Which in that case nevermind

 

Good idea. I'll see if Cat would like to, since she's the one doing the developing.

 

Well, I'll make one just as soon as I have the time to get to developing. I've got the SAT this Saturday and the ACT next Saturday, so as soon as all that's done (which is coincidentally the beginning of my summer vacation) I'll make the thread and get to making the VN.

 

Since there's no real appropriate place to post this I'll just leave this here.

I've got stuff going on and I'm going to be relatively busy soon, so I won't have time to work on this and I don't want to feel like it's hanging over my head. I've also run out of ideas and energy.

Anyone is welcome to it if they want, just treat my bby kindly~

 

"Rated M for: Nudity, Use of Drugs"
Well, this game just got interesting.

 

Are we having 'assist' characters? Cause we need Makaze.

 

We should. I could always make him Yu or something.

Also, he will undoubtedly have a cameo in the VN.

 

Why Makaze?

 

Because we love him.

 

Because Makaze.

 

Any other idea for members as assist characters? Personally I think Space Gandalf should be one.

By "we" you're not including me, right? Cause I don't like him in the slightest.

Hrmmm...

 

Jube needs to be an assist character.
KS started the thread and all, so I can see someone wanting to give him something.

I don't want no trouble.

 

Now this I can do. Jube can be Relius Clover.

 

Agreed.
That is why I suggested him. :)

There will be no trouble. I'm just saying that I don't like Makaze like everyone else. :)

 

I have plans for Makaze but I like these other ideas.

MvC2-style assists? Yes please.

 

How would assist characters work exactly?

 

You call them out, they do a move, they give u the thumbs up and leave. Or they get hit if you're dumb and don't know how to call 'em safely.

If the rest of the game is BB-influenced it'd be kind of weird to add assists, but it's all speculation at this point.

It's like that goat says. Rule #11: It's all just a game, so let loose and have fun with it!

 

So would certain characters get hooked up with certain assist characters?

 

Nah. Usually you just pick one from a list. If a character calls another character to help them specifically, and it's part of their moveset, that's called a striker. For example: In MvC, you select two characters to fight and one unique assist. You can call either that assist or your teammate, either of which will perform a move if uninterrupted. But in the same game you have Captain Commando, who's part of a unit that he summons to fight for him with several of his specials; you can't swap them out or change them because they're a part of his fighting style.

My character would have a couple of moves like that. Like Skype Call-to-Arms. Yes that's what it's called. #nova you're a terrible person
