I started a new game again. This time it is simple and it has a very good strong concept.

I was inspired by a scene from an Attack On Titan.

Spoiler.
fight in which many titans are fighting in teams with the
incentive for survival and stealing the opposing titan's special power.

I thought this idea was similar to the Mega Man games and that it would make a great quick exciting multiplayer video game similar to Towerfall.

So far I only have regular attack and 2 player mode working. Game pads required.

I have laid the foundation for special power and power steal mechanic, but they are not implemented yet.

Spoilers! Shit dude I haven't started the 4th season yet.

Sorry! I thought it was vague enough when I posted it. I edited the post to hide the spoiler.

It is a great show! I binge watched it in a few weeks.

Don't worry about it. It was obvious what was going to happen anyway.

Game idea looks neat to btw.

Thank you!

I released version 1.0 of the game. I would say it has the minimal game play established.

I am looking for feedback on the release.

The art is bad. I am working on it, I was focused on programming game mechanics first.
Sound effects need to be added.

Source code and windows 64-bit binary here.
I am working on an AppImage for linux release.

I gave the 1 player a go (only one controller). Controls are a bit wonky:

• Moving to the left is sometimes no-responsive
• Jump seems to require a few presses to get the guy to start jumping

But it otherwise runs without any issues.

Thanks for the feedback!

I thought I had the multiple button presses to jump issue fixed in the version 1.0 release.

Unresponsive left is a new bug I haven't seen yet.

I will try adding AI opponents to 1 player mode some time to make it more than a practice mode.

New release version of Thief Fighters. version 2.0

New characters were added. The art is improved. The animation was fixed.

Jump bug should be fixed.

I was not able to reproduce the unresponsive left.

Released version 3.0 of the game.

I have improved the physics system of the game.
No more bouncing off walls or clipping through walls.

Also players can now use a character profile wall to choose a character.

Still no sound yet. I have higher standards for the sound of the game than I do for the graphics.
I want it to be very well done.

I have big plans to add a metroidvania mode to the game.
It will include local multiplayer, 8 players, and a feature of multiple cameras to allow players to travel independently in different
parts of the game world.

A lot of progress has been made since my last post.

I added hit sound effects to the game.

Also I managed to start a basic tile editor for making a platformer world and implemented 3 screen split-screen for 4+ players.
The cameras follow the first 3 players by default. I need to keep the other non-camera lead players in camera bounds of the camera.

I plan to improve the physics and design of the versus mode before a new release.
