Fortune Fighters (formerly Bounty Hunt) update thread.
 

(oops should have it make it clear i'm not a dev! i'm assisting flyguy and jatz with publicity until release :) )

This is a new thread about "Fortune Fighters" (formerly Bounty Hunt).
The original thread can be found here.

The Fortune Fighters website is: http://www.fortunefighters.com/
The Fortune Fighters twitter is: https://twitter.com/FortuneFighters

So progress on the game has been quite slow on the programming side of things, which we won't get into here.

That being said, development is once again under way and we do have things (albeit only sneak peeks) to show you all!

Here's a GIF of some randomly generated heroes. Currently there's 2.5 million different customisation options available. We're aiming at 20 million plus on launch (click to view the full sized image, it's more impressive).

Pretend the artefact on the bottom right isn't there lol.

Here's a screenshot of what action in-game could look like!

Please note that everything you see is under development and not final. Any aspect of it could be changed.

You finally did it! An update thread.

Wait, I think I'm talking about the wrong game lol.

Is the game by Callan Acton?

Yes Callan is the programmer... I am the pixel artist.. and Reno is publicity/hype and the other GM of the team.

We have another post but that was before the name change and some time underground working on the game. I'll be posting some new art soon.

Woot! I've been bothering Callan about this game.

I'm looking forward to animating on the game!

This is honestly incredible.

Also, if you look towards the bottom-right corner, a sprite is randomly put in there.

Haha yeah, just ignore that >.<

Is this an Ios game in development, cuz i wanna play it now omg

your art is ****ing beautiful

It's been discussed in the past but I'm unsure. It's up to Jatz. I'll try and confirm for you.

Thanks, id seriously buy this off the app store.

I've been imagining a game like this in my head for a while now and the gif of the guy slashing and rolling forward is exactly how I would have done it too.

This is the user interface I'm making for Fortune Fighters. This is a very basic version of the GUI that I have planned. There will be lots of shiny buttons and animation inside the interface, so it won't look as flat and boring. This gif animation is just an early example.
I'd love to answer any questions you guys have for me!

Looks so cool!

This looks nice, will be trying when released. :p

Screencaps of a live build coming soon. Watch this space.

Looking forward it to it.

(Bounty Hunt was a better name.)

Got bored and generated another page of players.

I was told not to share the generator page because some of the more tech-savvy people might be able to rip assets from it :(

Those characters are bae af.

If anyone here wants to turn a FF character into an avatar PM me and I'll generate you a few pages to choose from :)

Me!

In case anyone was wondering...these are actually possible outcomes in the random generator. With the millions of outcomes, there will inevitably be some recipes to make doppelgangers of all kinds of heros and characters.

Yes this is legal, because this is unintentional, with over 20,000,000 combinations, you are bound to come up with much cooler and recognizable outfits than these.

Currently the generator Reno is using, is missing a large number of new sprite sheets I've made recently. Heads, armors, weapons, dyes..

..many great things to come.

You wouldn't mind if I made one right? They look dope!

@ Fly

Like pixeled your own? Im not in desperate need of any help with art right now, but if u contact me on skype we can discuss that more. The sprite sheets are pretty daunting. If u want to make requests fo gear, just draw up a picture or describe in detail what u want. The armor wont be exclusively yours, but u will know u made it happen. In the future i will be doing fully exclusive requests.

needed more pluffy amirite

Hahaha nice mohawk.. don't worry I already have some mohawk ideas in the works. There are so many more pieces of gear you guys haven't seen yet. Don't want to spoil it all!

On a side note, if anyone is interested in helping me create some good lore for the game.. I would love some input. I am overwhelmed with designing mechanics and art for the game, I haven't put a lot of thought into the "story" of the game. Skype me: ryan.degange

thats not a mohawk :(

Lol


Knowing more about the game would help with the lore.

There isn't too much to the lore right now. -- We're open to suggestions.. but essentially this is a different time, place or dimension where warriors from past/present/future have all been summoned to fight for fame and fortune. Maybe the gods forced them to do it, or maybe they tripped and fell in a worm hole?! lol We're not sure yet. But we would love to have a reason for ninjas, pirates, space marines, vikings, modern gangsters, cowboys, indians all fighting in the same world...please throw your ideas at us.

The game is mainly about fighting in arenas, collecting loot, killing bosses, crafting gear, etc..

COMMUNITY ASPECT

There is a major community aspect to this game where roleplay is encouraged but not forced on anyone. We are offering a system to create a clan/faction/gang/guild or whatever you want to call it. (For now lets just call it a clan) You can create your clan by using the build your own clan NPC.

With this NPC you will be able to create a name for your clan and pick a colored banner with a variety of patterns to use in territory control. (This banner is similar to a guild tabards in world of warcraft)

If your clan becomes very popular and you have a high member count and a really cool theme that the GM's like...we will recognize your clan. Becoming a recognized clan means bonus features that other clans don't have access to. We will custom design a clan armor/hat/weapon for you, and build you your own clan hall that is located in the city for everyone to see. -- 90% of clans will NOT be recognized, so we will only be picking the best clans. The ones with the coolest back story and lore.. The clans who try their hardest to be creative with their roleplay.

Once you are a recognized clan you can earn clan points by hosting community events for the public. You can host these events in your clan hall, or in the public streets of the city. There is no limitation to the kind of event you want to put on. You can have a 2v2 spar tournament, and offer prizes from your clan bank to attract more of a crowd... or you can do more light hearted stuff like a impromptu poetry or story contest where members of the public are invited to recite their own words.

When your recognized clan hosts a community event, the GM's will award you clan points. With these clan points, the elder & council of the clan will be allowed to ask the GM's to create things for them using their clan points. The only limitations to what we will create for you are your own imaginations. As long as your request won't alter the game in a dramatic way, we will try our best to honor your request. So if you want us to create a dragon NPC that lives outside of your clan hall, we can do that for a set number of clan points. --- You might want a new spar arena inside your clan hall...Or maybe you want your clan council members to have their own custom weapons, or even the elder to have an even better weapon. These are the kinds of things you can spend clan points on.

Does what weapon/armor you use in this game matter? For example, do certain swords do more damage or is everything the same?

Also, I wouldn't mind writing lore for this game. Maybe I could back up whoever you intend on using as your main story writer.

Players do not level up in this game, nor do they have stats that increase over time.. Instead their weapons do. You can buy/sell/trade upgraded and leveled up weapons. So there will definitely be weapons that are better than others in a fight. There are also special abilities you can equip and buy/sell/trade which help in the arenas. Some are more rare than others.

Currently the way the game is designed is like playing Street Fighter, Smash Bros, Mortal Kombat -- In the sense that you are pretty close to equal during a battle, regardless if you have played for 10 years or not. Older players will have better weapons, but it won't be so much better that they can't be beaten. That way new players still have a chance to beat older players if they are skilled.

We'd love to chat lore with anyone who's willing. Throw your ideas at us.

The art still looks ****ing incredible.

Mario, Luigi, Wario, Yoshi, Toads

Had fun with these haha. Thanks for the template @ Fly.

Any updates on this?

I think, there should be a separate game. Campaign, for the individual story how Fortune Fighters are in Multiplayer and Multiplayer for the real gaming experience.

Campaign would have introductions about the ancient artifacts that the Gods bestowed for the fighters to protect from the willy nilly enemy teams from the north, south, east and west. Each enemy team has its own name based on what location they are, either north, south, east or west. You will be trying to protect the artifacts instead, you were tempted by the hidden treasure that the Gods forbid to open the gate by joining the artifacts from each location. You will be in chage in getting the artifacts, meeting different characters helping and guiding you to the artifacts heavily guarded by the ancientt elementals, golems, slimes, spiders, creeps etc. There will be 5 artifacts, the mystic artifact, the plague artifact, the static artifact, the lava artifact and the soul artifact. The 5th is the soul of a person who was destined to bring the artifacts in to place near the temple of the hidden treasure.

Thats what I thought :P

I tried to contact Jatz to see if he would comment here but he's been afk/inactive.

There has been solid progress with the engine, I can't say what specifically because I honestly don't know, but what I do know is that quite a lot of the code is done.

I'm hoping he'll update this later today or tomorrow :)

Awesome! Looking forward to playing this. You guys are doing great.

Shiz should join the team :)

Nahh haha. I think they're doing good sticking with one talented artist. Besides, editting those wasnt that hard. Took like 5 min each with a palette at hand.

If I really wanted to test it I'd give a shot at a landscape (1000x1000 canvas), but I think sticking with one artist helps it keep its unique style.

Thanks though. :p

I'm happy doing the art by myself right now. The sprites are actually really easy, so if anyone has ideas like Shiz did, please send them our way. If we like them, I will convert them to full blown moving sprites that we can add in game.

As far as picking up another artist, where we need help most is environment art because the world is hand painted (no tiles) and its going to be big. If you're interested in this, send me a msg with a link to a small arena or environment you pixeled. Try your best to match the style of the existing art. If we like it, we might pick you up.

Might give it a shot sometime this weekend. Awesome stuff.

It's PC-only i believe?

The art is fokin Awsome.It couldn't get any better.You peeps are doing incredibly good work.

wow awesome
