BOA is back from the dead!
« on: January 05, 2017, 04:37:05 pm »
After being a hiatus since August, BOA is finally back in development! The main reason why it was on hiatus was because I was working on my Godzilla fan-film Godzilla Returns (click the link to watch the full movie), but now that it's finished, I have started working on BOA again! However, at the end of January, I will start working on the sequel to Godzilla Returns, Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, but I will alternate every week between working on that and working on BOA. Here are the things that have happened since the game went on hiatus:

  • @Shashi has hired another coder to help me with the current glitches in the game.
  • BOA now has a new website! Go to http://brinkofarmageddon.com to check it out! This site has also replaced the Roaring Pixels site.
  • Cosbydaf has left the project and won't be doing sprite work anymore. Due to this, after all of the current bugs are fixed, we will find a new sprite artist, and @OgreTusk will fund the sprites we need to finish the demo.

I hope that the demo will be finished by the end of 2017. After the demo is complete, we will launch a kickstarter to fund the rest of the game (one of the reward tiers will also give you the opportunity to get your original monster in the initial release of the full game).

Here is my fan-film for anyone who wants to watch it:

Hello everyone, my name is Shashi, and I have taken over the BoA game's development from G&G (who left the project recently). The name and story of the game is subject to change later down the line, but the core aspect of pitting kaiju against kaiju will remain the same. I'll be posting updates on the game's progress via the Discord channel (limited to 25 uses currently: https://discord.gg/AThGj5S) as well as this thread, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask me and I'll get back to you as soon as possible :)

For those of you who would like to help with testing the game, you can either post your requests up on this thread or send me a private message through this forum's mail/messaging function. Cheers and have a great year ahead! :)

By the way, for those of you who are interested in testing the current demo build, here is the link for you to download it:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1OmMyM6XBaOJESCVEWCVRV8cs1Rf8jz74

Construct 2 version 255 (the game engine you'll need to run it) can be downloaded from here: - https://www.scirra.com/construct2/releases/r255

Instructions for playing the game are as follows:
Main Menu
- press the X button to choose Menu screen options
- press the Z button to go back to the Main Menu

Battle Mode
- press the Q button to exit to the Main Menu screen from the Battle Mode
- If you press and hold down the X button, Reptilidon will punch and slash before finishing with a bite
- If you press and hold down the Z button, Reptilidon will kick and stomp before delivering a tail whip
- Down and Punch = Crouching Punch
- Down and Kick = Crouching Tail Whip
- Charging (S) = run forward
- Space bar triggers a Rage Attack that depletes your energy bar by 17 points
- Pressing Up = jump up high into the air
- Block (A) = blocks attacks at the cost of some energy

Hello everyone, I've made some minor edits to the game, mostly in terms of enabling Reptilidon (Player-controlled) to fire his projectile (Fireball) by holding down the X button and then pressing C, organising the code to make it easier for me to find what I'm looking for, as compared to code related to one set of attacks being placed somewhere down the list :p, and I have cleaned up the countdown

Latest version of the demo:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ulHtFh9aTs06_aMNiZy-7Fgduwjn-h9c

Edit: Construct 2 doesn't have Mac support, so if you want a copy that can be run on your Mac, send me a message and I'll get back to you
Edit 2: Link to download the Mac version, here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1G-JlaL31y_PJv0RJxRFjDblxkoL8bCpG

I'm eager to see the end result of this game.  I hope y'all are still in the works!
Sorry for being absent!
