Much appreciated!

Well, it seems this mod will have a very special... soundtrack. STAAAAAY TUNED!  

And it's time for an update.




Sodom's boss fight stage.

Let's be honest: the original stage is boring... so I did a bit of enhancements, like the binoculars and a couple of signs. Recolored the background from stage 2-2 so it looks like the dusk it's over so now it's full night.

The fight itself is the same as the one for Damnd: from Normal to above there's gonna be helping mooks to support Sodom. I'm using his Boss Intro 1 fighting stance, cuz I'm saving the Boss Intro 2 style for his "brother" Katana.

Well, this is it, stay tuned for stage 3.

Keep going bud, you're doing really good!

Nice!

Okay, time for an update.

As the game has a bonus stage right after beating Sodom (using exactly the same stage scene without even leaving the area), decided to go against it and instead added an iconic Final Fight stage for the bonus area. If you can guess which stage it is, I'll give you a cookie.   

The bonus will be the same Seeker throwing bonus (where Seekers only drop items if they are thrown), most items will be food items (see my Item Drops Values thread in the SORR forum for the criteria). Or if you have a better idea, I'm game.

Never played Mighty Final Fight before, this might be a good chance to try it up   

Looking foward to this, keep up the good work Don! I like how you progress relatively fast (At least for my standards   ) while keeping the quality clean .w.b

^ Worth trying. Awesome game.

Okay, le updates.




Old Town, obviously a rich residential zone with old school mansion... and with roads in construction.

Added a couple of things in this stage: a gate that marks that the players enter the manor that is stage 3-2 (in game make no sense that they're in the street and immediately inside the manor), so I added the gate.

This stage has A LOT of layers, so it will look very deep while walking.

I still need to populate but overall this stage took too long.

Excellent as always!
Quick question though: why making it nightime as opposed to the original stage?

Very nice, well done!

Tying to follow a bit of the cycle of the day. Starting off in afternoon at stage 1, by stage 2 sunset and late dusk by stage 3 dark but getting a huge storm (check the Abigail battle, it's already night and it's storming), then by stage 4 will be already late midnight, probly 2 am. On stage 5 wanna make it right early in the morning over the yacht, so will be daylight again.

Ladies and Gentz: LE UPDATES!

The interior of the mansion. I definitely wanted to make it look as regal as possible without losing the CPS1 touch on it. Took the liberty to add a little hallway right in the middle, and personally I think it looks really really boss! The mirror area at the end I changed into an art gallery with some cool paintings on display... and has a little balcony that will make the player jump into the

Spoiler:

The background is animated with a heavy thunderstorm with all and thunders (thanks to the rain and thunders from the final stage of Final Fight 2, it looks really sick!).

Now it's time to populate it.

I need this mod in my life!

Holy crap this looks pretty!

One complaint though, the same city background is being used in the last 3 stages. I don't know if it's a placeholder but you might wanna look for different city backgrounds. I can try to help if you need me to.

That's not an issue. In Final Fight, they use the same background in many stages (stage 1, 4 and 6), this one I like it a lot, and wanted to use it only in these two stages (all of them have different coloring, building positioning and effects... the lighting make the city lit, so it looks cool). Next stages will have different background, I promise.

I agree it's not necessarely an issue. Just that I don't like to make repeated use of a same background myself (or I try to edit a little).

But I can understand you love it and want to use it. Different edit of that layer for each stage will surely do well!

The layer is edited alright in every scene: sunset, dusk, night, storm, etc. So it does look different depending the area, you'll see.

The enemy placement is done. The original MFF is a disappointment of it, and a huge waste of space since the scroller is huge to place a lot of enemies... something I did. I went for the typical "thread carefully or else you'll be mobbed to death" type of placement that is very common in mid to high areas in FF1. And some combinations are pretty fun, if I can say so myself.

Now need to do the boss fight and with this I'll request a couple of beta testers to check how's the mod so far in all difficulties. Any takers lemme know.

I volunteer!
That way, I'll be able to suggest tweaks and edit some graphics if I feel the need.

Okay, for beta testing I'm taking you and Dark Thief (he requested it by PM).


LOOK, MOMMY, AN UPDATE!




The Manor's Royal Gym. Yeah, I really couldn't find another reason why the fuck there's an empty ring inside a luxurious mansion... then, by using bit of logic here, why not the personal gym of whoever owns the manor (Belger? Abigail?)? I've decided to give a really nice feel to the place by including equipment, a couple of punching bags and the view to the garden since, well... the boss stage looked kinda drab for me.

But fear not! I'm still keeping the storm and the thunders from the original stage so, I won't break the mood from the original.

As for Abigail, I warn you: he WON'T welcome you alone from Normal to above. And word of the wise: thread carefully and take a good look at the place: you'd be finding some surprises.

With this I'm closing the first half of the mod. I'm sending to Icey and Thief the first beta test demo. If someone wants to sign in, also lemme know.

Looking excellent! Is that punching bag from Super Double Dragon?

Charco wrote:Looking excellent! Is that punching bag from Super Double Dragon?

Yup, both of them. Wanted to use the one used in Art of Fighting 2 bonus game, but was too big for the perspective, so decided to go for the SDD one, just recoloring it to the FF style.

Love it! I volunteer as well, is it available to stream/record or just private til full release?

Mr.Din wrote:Love it! I volunteer as well, is it available to stream/record or just private til full release?

Wanna keep it private since the final mod will be completely fleshed out with an original soundtrack, animated cutscenes/endings, custom FF sound, etc. So spoiling it live will be a real tragedy.

I'll send you the links by PM.

Don,

May I test this mod? Me and my sister killer_sponge tested Adam's Story for 2 players, and should be able to provide feedback on enemy placement / difficulty etc.

2 players? Definitely need a test on that field too. I didn't add many 2 players only enemies, but I want to see how the game feels without them. In case it's necessary to add extra mooks, please lemme know. I'm sending you the links by PM.

Thank you once again.

Some interesting intel gathered through this first beta testing (thank you, Icey, Thief and Mr. Din for the feedback by PM).

The actual names of the goons in MFF are NOT like the ones we know from the 16-bit/CPS1 era.

Bred = Iron
J = Gale
Poison = Poison Kiss
Slash = Serge
El Gado = Tequila (I like his name, lol)

So now here's the question I have, and I'd like your opinion: shall I add these names and recreate an exclusive palette for these goons? Or should I stick with the CPS/SNES characters?

What I could do is that ONLY the enemies appearing in Easy difficulty might have these new names and palettes (gotta be creative in adding the palettes as the NES ones weren't exactly... creative or clear), the rest of the enemies will be the classic CPS1 CHRACTERS.

Thoughts?
