Okay, so I haven't released anything in quite a while, but here's something to show y'all that I've been working every now and then.

I'll post any updates for the stage in this thread. Don't worry, I'm not gonna spam it with updates. There will be this one (alpha) and then possibly a second alpha, and then I'll post the beta before I release this publicly. I'm also putting this here as a backup in case I get some PC problems.

-The name sux, and Ex made one with the same name not too long ago
-I THINK it's the y deltas (idk i suck at stages so...) that makes it feel odd when I jump. I took screenshots but it doesnt show it well.
-I love the camera movement/bgctrl, definitely keep that.
-Your water is weird as hell, but it's different.
-Change up the background buildings more. Sometimes when you move, the buildings overlap and I'm looking at the same exact set twice.
-Is the stage supposed to feel like it's another part of The City's Buildings? lol
-Cool boat.

- I don't like the boat deck you're using. IMO it clashes.
- Edit the boat deck and raise the characters. They are too low on the screen, and even lower because they move down.
- Why does it look so much like GLB's The City's Buildings stage? Maybe you should call it The City's Docks instead.
- If the buildings and water have a purple hue, shouldn't the boat deck have that hue too?
- It looks as if the city is submerged. Maybe you should add a bar below the buildings/above the river so that it indicates a shoreline, or a dock?
- I say more layers of buildings, and as a layer goes back, it gets darker and smaller.
- I don't like the moon sprite.
- Maybe you should keep the river animation hidden, and make it appear when the characters jump high enough. You can do that by editing the Y-delta.
- Change the clouds you're using.
- Your deltas feel very weird IMO.
- The Sin.y you used on the floor and characters is too much IMO. They wobble too much, it's making me dizzy. No lies.
- Maybe you should add an overpass/bridge wherein there are cars  and trucks that drive on it. It'll make the stage look more lively IMO.

I thought it was a nice touch. It really makes you dizzy? o_O

An overpass would make sense since you added powerlines to the stage Watta (meant to comment on how pointless they seemed)

Yup, the motion made me look the other way when I fought in the stage. Maybe they move up and down too fast? I dunno.

And regarding the overpass, maybe you should add one on the middle of the river? Then we'll be able to add graffiti on the sides. :wolfcool:

Woah, a shit ton of feedback. I got what I wanted

okayy.

-I'm gonna edit the boat deck
-As for your dizziness, I'll add a version where everything except the boat has the siny. Like what Ex did in his stage. I like that siny tbh but everybody's got their opinions
-TheCity'sDock? Sounds interesting :SureYouDid:  
-I'll fix the moon and clouds
-Everybody hates ma powah lines yo  gonna remove 'em
-As for the city looking submerged, I wanted to add a train rail/track like the one Diss made in Aurora City. It'll be the same thing as a divider.
-I also found the second layer of buildings annoying too, I'll be sure to make new ones.
-I like that idea about making them darker and smaller as they go back. It seems more realistic.

I'll add the overpass after I finish everything else yo. Could you explain it better for me? I can't quite picture it in my head correctly since I've never been on too many boats myself, or ever seen an aquatic overpass for boats :NirvanaTongue: 

Thanks for the feedback guys
God I hate that deck, but it should look better once I edit it some more

Overpass meaning bridge for cars, trucks, etc.

Draw me an example and I'll try implementing it

Took me a while to see that was a link

Mark get on chat.

OH YEAH

I like that idea about the hidden river that appears when you jump. I'll implement that in too.

Theirs really no need to say any feedback since everything was pretty much said by Mark and Gen but stage coming along nice cant wait to see final version  

FEEDBACK


- The boat clashes hard, and looks completely awful in my opinion.

- The water's awkward. It has moments where it randomly jumps up, I'm guessing it's because of the bot rocking which is way too intense as well. Plus it moves awkwardly as well, IMO you should animate it differently.

- The city looks small and it's not lively like the buildings show it off to be. It seems empty, there could be a lot more going on in the background other than two sets of identical buildings.

- Powerlines clash and suck.

- Moon clashes, has terrible edges and is awkwardly placed.

- As for as the boat rocking goes, try looking at how i coded it in Caliginous, your method isn't working so well.

- When you jump your clouds look all messed up. I'm assuming this is a delta issue, because they look like they're not even in the sky.

- City could still use some touch ups, it looks like it's drowning in the water still.

- Overall color balance in the stage could be adjusted, it has random clash points.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOT USEFUL FEEDBACK, JUST PREFERENCE.

- Need music. :cena: 

- I prefer a lower floortension/tension, and a higher vertical follow. But that's just preference.

- Your .def's are getting sloppy again, semi-coloned sprites that aren't being used, useless lines of code.

- I agree a name change would be better.

- Really wish everyone didn't use the new Fighter Factory's so I could actually test .sff's.

Damn deltas

Thanks for the feedback GLB, I'll try implementing as much as I can.

Sorry for the bump.

Now, school has started for me yesterday. I will be very busy as of now. Tenth grade in our school is by far the hardest year due to the amount of work and tests which we have to finish within the school year, so I will be a lot more occupied in time compared to last year.

This having been said, this stage will probably not be done for a long time and has a good chance of being one of those unfinished concepts that you come around and finish months/years after first making it. If any of you guys, meaning only the people who see this post in the private section, wants anything from this stage or the whole thing yourself, you can have it. You can finish it, edit it, take it apart piece by piece and do whatever the hell you want with it.

Just gimee credit for starting the concept, and you can keep it as your own. I don't have time today, but I'll upload the latest version this Wednesday, the weekend, or whenever I get some free time. I'll try and upload some pieces and whatnot of my stage concept too for y'all.

Thanks for the support, and I'll see ya when I can :NirvanaTongue:

Gotta maintain that GPA 4.0 bros, plus the new school heads are trying to pull my GPA down by tryin to force me to swap to an advanced class. They be saying they won't gimee a grade higher than a B+ in this current class unless I transfer to that one, let's hope that I stay in this one lol.

It's good to see that you know your priorities. Good luck, man.

4.0 GPA? Sheesh. Keep that up. Cya around.

Thanks guys,

I'm just gonna put on a fresh Set+Avi set before I get back to work :PokeRaep: 

Smh

Sorry, but Seph has done that before.

I don't care. Just because someone else has done it prior to me doesn't necessarily mean that I can't use them
