Speaking of Elemental Gelade, I somehow found some volumes in a used book store today, with the very, let's say, "interesting" translitteration of the name😆

I am very excited to be part of the jury for this Jam.

Fighting games are such fertile ground for experimentation.

Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.

* 1 try per user max. Thanks autocorrect for eating my words

If someone manages to identify *the indie game* the next ExploJudo guest is coming from just from this gif, I'll send a Steam code to the ExploJudo Soundtrack or Schwarzerblitz 8-costumes pack when the official announcement drops😆
I won't confirm or deny any answer. 1 try per max, max 5 winners!

Look, there is a reason why I am hosting instead of taking part🤣 I am swamped in my own projects, so I couldn't do both 😭

Technically yes. It would be great if one could also replace the HUD and so on, but there is nothing against it. The only real request is that the stages and characters must be new.

50! 50 right as I was posting this😆

I have fallen in love with Gamma Ray thanks to that album, back in ~2008, so much that I originally used Heaven or Hell in one of my super early RPG Maker lost prototypes😆 I found the CD in a second hand market 3 years ago and bought it, I think it has been my most listened to CD ever since.

(also, the Aero Fighters 2 Spanky pfp rules😆 played that game too much as a kid)

HA! I have listened to that CD so many times it's basically burning😆 It's a banger after banger album, The Heart of the Unicorn, Heaven or Hell, Damn the Machine, Solid, Fire Below... really one of the rare albums that I love from the beginning to the end!

That was a blast to see, Rod! So many good questions there!

Just finished the implementation of the Confirmed Guest Character, while listening to a 2001 Gamma Ray album twice😆
3 costumes, full moveset, moveset tutorial, combo trial, arcade ending, intro and win animations, character profile and all except VA😆
Can't wait to be able to share it with you folks!

Unique to 🐍, all normals can be chained into each other, with reverse/repeat chains building up "Rage". At Maximum rage, she deals amplified damage, and sends the opponent airborne.

Absolutely. I put it in the same bucket as 2DFM02

Don't misunderstand me - I still think UFE is a TRAP and I would rather make my own framework than work with it😅

Emphasis on "cruel"🤣🤣🤣
2020 me was unhinged, 2026 me is STILL unhinged, but we don't talk about it

There are many good UFE games swimming in a sea of asset flips that tarnish the reputation of the few good gems

Blueblood Arena is made with UFE and is so good! Fight of Steel too!

Btw I was talking about Elemental Gelade (which the Italian magazine called Elemental Gerad), I learned of Garouden only in the late 2010 thanks to a friend Baki fan that gushed over Yujiro Hanma's inclusion in that game.

Okay, this is rad and I need to look more into it🤔

It's kinda hard to tell if complaints about indie fighting games being combo heavy come from a pov that lumps together games that are simply "not developed by Capcom/SNK/Arcsys now I guess" like Avatar and Invincible VS, games I just can't think of as indie by any stretch lol

*we don't talk about UFE*😭

With how many people request my opinion on and consultation for UFE for Unity, please do this lol.

And here I'll give everyone my take for free; I never used UFE for my games, and I wouldn't want to after seeing other people trying to use it. Plus, never pay for tiers that don't include source.
