Ponty, u could implement UFC's stamina system, in a few words: when u are absolutely running out of stamina, the maximum amount is decreasing too. So any time player is trying to spam he'll have less and less possible endurance. Anyway, you should check it yourself, good luck in making a game :)

C and c++ are the fastest programming languages after assembly. They can even be equal to assembly if your compiler properly optimize the code and they can be faster than assembly if you do not have alot of experience and are not very very good at assembly. After c and c++ we have java and then other programming languages. C# is not faster than c and c++. But c# is very much faster than blueprints.

One Suggestion: I am not sure if this is right but it just came to my mind: You can talk about your future plans or things you plan to do for the next week maybe at the end of the video. Benefits of doing so: -It makes the viewer Wonder about the next video -It arouses curiosity on the view abou- Okay it's just one thing. Oh and, it increases hope for the project. Like let's say you didn't have much to show this week. But talking about the next week's plans adds value to this week's video. So.. Yeah.

I think you are 100% right, often times it is easy to value the big changes, Visual ones etc but the thing that usually dooms an indie game is not "didn't add enough bounce lighting" etc, it is the much more sinister "finding the fun". Taking the time to make the core mechanic/game loop engaging is far more valuable than literally anything else. Fixing the spam issue and adding more "possibility space" with the dash feature is a huge deal and one you should be super proud of. Entertaining as always, Good luck, looking forward to the next update!

Don't forget to tie the stamina loss to amount of damage you take and speed you move around . Then tie your amount of health to your max stamina to make you think carefully about taking damage. That'll make conserving your stamina an even more important aspect of the game. Its looking really cool and I stay tuned for more!

Nice to see you got yourself an assistant ;) But yeah that stamina system seems fantastic! Definitely feels like a good reward vs punishment system. One thing I'd suggest though, you need to consider "who is your playerbase" is it players who enjoy different and complex combos, players who want simple controls, and so on for the different mechanics in the game. You are making a lovely couch/party game, you just gotta think how complex do those types of gamers like their games to be! :)

Great job with the stamina. Way better this way! I think the last feature (boost) should drain a lot of stamina, so players don't spam that either. Also, perhaps you've done it already, but you could penalize when a player misses punches, more than when you actually hit your opponent. Either that or reward the hits: you could add a new bar that, when filled, sets the player to "on fire" mode and does some cool stuff. Keep it up!!
@Zaft9 3 жыл бұрын
Love what you're doing with the stamina system! I think a think a reward for the player not spamming/timing their hits is to give an extra damage boost to an attack that's used right after your stamina refills. This way there's a bit of counter play where both players are actively trying to be aware of the other's stamina so they know when they can go in or back off.

Looking good! Maybe you could incorporate the stamina into the movement speed so that if your stamina is low you can't just run away from the opponent's attacks? The little speed burst thing seems cool but I can see that also getting spammy if you don't limit it enough. Also it'd be cool if you could combine that move with a punch for a super punch of sorts!

"Why didn't we just make a walking simulator?" Actually, hear me out, I'm serious on this... I would make a Punching Endless Runner... The first-ever "First Person Beat'em Up". I'd be walking forward in a mostly straight line, and punching at all sorts of objects across levels. Punching bags, other boxers, garbage bins, garbage trucks, the ensuing firetrucks, walls, burst into a castle, knock thrones and armor around... it's a TV set, knock the studio equipment and security personal around, etc. I wouldn't even have to make the assets, which would be bought from the asset store. My position determining my access to weak points and the direction of beaten up targets as they're knocked back. I'd add a second lane, third one, fourth one... boom, non and semi-competitive multiplayer that would solve my player-vs-player problem of balancing and keeping players engaged for more than 5 minutes. That's how I would "steal" your concept or build on it, because this just came to mind. If someone cares, feel free to "steal" this from me.
