This stuff is still pre-alpha testing at the moment, but I'm working on it almost every day.

It started as a really old game of mine that my friend Stimulus had the files to, I gave him permission to take it over and remake it but somehow I got pulled into it with an enormous amount of inspiration. It's a Dragonball Z game of course (one of mine from around 5-6 years ago) that I completely gutted, redrew and reprogrammed to the point of being an entirely new game.

I'm not going to say much more about the game just yet, but I wish to share my combat system right now in a handful of screen caps.



( When beams collide, players and mobiles enter a beam-battle competition )


( The NPC tries to blast me with a beam, but I quickly warp behind him, leaving him firing at my after image )




( Movement-based attacks build up momentum, which I use in the form of a hammer-attack that sends my opponent flying )


( I think I have the upper hand when he starts to dodge my melee attacks )


( Not fast enough however, as I was able to grab him )



Well that was a fun session, but in the end I eventually won, which is a 1/3 chance against these guys ... But no worries, the normal NPCs won't have access to every attack in the game like these ones.

Edit: And in case you're wondering, the maps will not be that plain. The ones you see in the next few caps will be of a simple test map I created in order to test features a little easier.
Good god. I might actually play this game.

Good job!
One of the only DBZ games I like. :)
God damnit, Ken. You do it again. =)
HOT DIGGITY DANG!

EDIT: oh, and your Hotkey for 3 scares me, kthx.
Looks like a flash game, lolz
Id love to play that, looks fun.
I can't get past that it is a DBZ game
Heh, I'm not sure if you mean that in a good way or a bad way.

Personally I've always loved the show. I should have an open alpha test sometime in the near future for anyone that wants to help me test the MMO aspects of the combat system, if all goes well it might be this comming Tuesday.

Oh, I mean it in a good way. This is the first time I've really wanted to play a game on BYOND, let alone hope to test it :o

It looks good, I just have one question: Why is there a picture of Goku and Krillin at the top?
They are just early models of the portraits for the meters.

Goku is saiyan, Krillin is for earthlings at the moment. They'll match your actual icon upon release.
Oh, cool. Well, good luck with the game. This will probably be the second DragonBall game I will play and like other than DBEO (DragonBall Epic Online).
Looks like a pretty nice start, good work.
Hope it'll actually be finished, would be nice to play.
Hey looks cool!
There should be open testing of the raw gameplay setup come this tuesday if anyone's interested.
I am!
I am, too. It looks so awesome. :D
Looks pretty awesome, your team in need of any new members?

I've coded for quite a few years, and haven't really finished anything here mostly due to art restraints (I'm not an artist). I'm looking to get back into byond and try to join a team, and it looks like you got a pretty darn good artist.
