SUPER PHANTASY FIGHTERS
「Not EPISODE 7 ALL-STARS 大乱闘ファンタシーファイターズ」
A tongue-in-cheek parody fan game based off of Phantasy Star Online 2 and Super Smash Bros.. Also a solo-developed project
During PINBALL MASTER FLIPPER's development, I've had this idea for a fighting game. After completing PINBALL MASTER FLIPPER and graduating from Columbia College, I decided to create another game right away, which was this.
I will admit at first, I thought this would be a bit too on-the-nose and would get weird stares, but throughout the game's development, the PSO2 community has supported and motivated me to continue this project the moment they first saw my demonstration videos and screenshots on Twitter, as well as Discord (you'll see some tweets in English and some in Japanese).
This is a game that I'm currently working on at this time of writing! And I have learned a lot so far, such as:
Programming multiplayer game play
Physics
Core fighting game mechanics (hitboxes, hurtboxes)
Computer-controlled players
Basic User-Generated Content
Configurable gameplay loop
Custom game UI
LeanTween
Cinemachine
URP Graphics Pipeline
Programming Audio: implementing CRI ADX's API
Basic graphics debugging skills utilizing RenderDoc
Pixel Crushers' Dialogue System (game's story mode)
Unity Localization Package (yes, this game currently has a WIP Japanese translation done by a friend!)
