Been working on #CupKick for a bit, so I wanted to do a 🧵 about its design.
One sentence pitch: CupKick is a silly, dessert/food-themed 3D Fighter with no UI, focused on varied environments.

Lola Pop would have been a good CupKick character name.

Put in a humanoid character; I def. like it more.
Biggest issue is I feel I need the "lighting" to be consistent on characters or follow the camera or something...idk...

It's no VF, but in #CupKick, once you lose all 3 "armor" areas, you still have a final chance to comeback but almost any single hit will KO. Still need to play w/ the slowdown effect as well but it's gettin' there.

More #CupKick progress; have juggling working decently as well as damage redistribution during combos
(not a final combo)
Also made data defining a bit easier; pure algorithm wasn't working. I just needed before formatting on my objects.

A new shader test using a really simple cell-shaded matcap style for #Gigi from #MerFight. I'm...tempted to go w/ it, if not for MerFight, maybe #CupKick but we'll see...probably looks bad on other characters, lol

#CupKick update. I'm liking the sort of soft "toy" look of it now. Experimented with the match in a "real" environment; it will need better layout tools.
Stage transitions will need some camera takeover nonsense or something too.

Needs a lot of finesse, but since I don't want a hud, I was thinking of having pop-ups like these when certain in-game events like Parries and Throw Breaks occur in #CupKick

Still no ring outs / stage transitions, a bigger feature, but I do have wall breaks working...not sure I love them yet and obviously will need some big reaction to telegraph a break, but it's something.

CupKick *Patreon* early access is more likely and then maybe like *Steam* early access late next year.
BH2A+X is more likely than CupKick though for both.

Early #CupKick #Screenshotsaturday -- got "dodging" starting, like high attack missing crouching opponents for example as well as a start to juggles.
I'm def. gonna need to setup some algorithm to config attack data, probably based on like start-up/active/recover, etc.
