Breakneck City is out now! Steam Page Trailer:A few days I started work on a 3D Beat 'Em Up called Breakneck City. In addition to classic-style, arcadey Beat 'Em Up combat, the game will feature environmental interactions and hazards that can be used to your advantage (or disadvantage) in combat.

Since this is a beat-em-up, I'm legally required to add co-op to the game. Also, worked on the camera to let it track multiple targets and keep them in frame. I use it both to keep track of both players, as well as to follow enemies when they get launched.

while it obviously has a different design philosophy and execution, i would highly recommend playing or watching some of the yakuza games for reference on how the environments of cityscapes can be used as points of interactivity in a beat em up

Way ahead of you. The Yakuza games are definitely serving as a a point of reference for environmental interaction. While, like you said, I want to handle things a bit differently in terms how the underlying mechanics of how those interactions happen, the Yakuza games definitely provide some inspiration.

I'm curious about how have you setup your environment. Are they just meshes that you've textured pixel art onto, or are you using some sort of tiling implementation?

Textures on a mesh, but the environment mesh is (mostly) made up of evenly-sizes squares, so the squares are moved onto the respective tiles on the UV map.

A combination of code re-use, scope control and necessity

Pretty great stuff! I hope to be able to make one at some point (but 2d). I have been trying to get something close to this https://youtu.be/hIJm_cSb_VU?list=FLL0P4AeySAhyfD1vlkt2sAwThese other video here specialize on characters taking a beat. I hope it helps inspire. keep it up, your game is looking great so far!

Wow, this looks very cool. The pole attack reminds me of the episode of Family Matters where Steve Urkel drinks a potion that makes him like Bruce Lee.

I love this! Something that’s missing from today’s popular games is the old school coop beat em up. I was always a fan of the 2d beat em ups, but kid me was blown away when games like fighting force, dynamite cop and Jackie chan stuntmaster came about. I love the pixel textures you have and the contextual environment finishers. I will buy I when you hopefully finish!

Enemies can now wield weapons. They can also be disarmed.
