Greetings to everyone here at TIGSource. I'm here to post on behalf of our small group that is developing our game. For roughly 6 months the game has been planned and a month ago we finally started development. Everyone was pretty hesitant to have anything revealed so early on the project, but after a long discussion everyone agreed to post some of what we have so far. We'll be making an actual website for progress eventually, but that's when we finally settle on a good name for the project.
For now we'll simply be calling the game VIOLENCE JAM, don't expect it to stick.
VIOLENCE JAM is an HD arcade styled 4 player beat 'em up for the PC. The game mechanics combine the depth and complexity of fighting games with simplified controls and free movement like standard beat 'em ups.
The style of the game is influenced by the style of late 80's and early 90's hip hop. Visuals are pixel art based giving a crisp feel to the characters. The game will offer 20 playable characters and will hopefully be playable online.
Players make use of two buttons for normal attacks and a special move button to perform specific moves based on their character. By tapping or holding a direction while attacking, different moves can be performed. The game also offers both a guard button and a button to strafe walk.
Characters have three selectable super moves on top of their own specials. Fighting game veterans will recognize some familiar mechanics such as EX specials, parrying, air-dashing, guard breaking, and combo breaking.

Basic movement, collisions, hitboxes, gravity, slope handling, external color palettes, and scaling are all in. We're adding attacks, throws, and special attacks, and blocking into the engine next.
Here's two new pieces of character concept art

After some delay, the game is back in progress!Some changes with the team but now there's plenty of help on board and the game is finally moving once again! Hopefully in some time a very basic gameplay video will be ready just showcasing the basics of how the game plays out. Thank you for all that offered to help in the past! Except some new art and actual sprites here soon! Thanks again to everyone who offered to help, hopefully the few who are following this will be happy with what they see along the way! See you next update!
