Version 1.4 Release

Check out this video for HOT Information:

New Fighters! Special guest stars from PSO2es!

Khorshid and Akhtar join the battle in this update! These are probably going to be the only two human characters in the entire roster, by the way.

Khorshid 

She can rapidly chain attacks at a melee range. You can use your Marching Stun to trap opponents then crush them! Similar to Wulfer, Khorshid can rapidly deal damage, though the percentage dealt is relatively low. She also has a deadly killer move that can send opponents across the stage! This time, it’s not JA-skippable unlike Anga’s, so you gotta time it at the perfect opportunity to give ‘em the home run!

Akhtar

Khorshid’s younger sister also makes an appearance! But don’t let her looks deceive you. She may look very small and frail, but she can cast techs from a distance, contrasting to Khorshid. Megid is her killer move. Her Up-Smash is also Gifoie, which casts a large circle of fire around her, so be sure you keep your distance from her as well! Her Normal attacks are melee-ranged, but her techs require distancing yourself from opponents.

Fighters got a new touchup!

The fighters have an upgraded appearance! Now they look more gorgeous, vibrant, shinier, and muscular in many different environments in the game. They now glow and have more detailed texturing if you decide to go up close and personal with the Fixed Camera mode. I really liked the outcome, now they actually look polished like in PSO2 instead of looking like they were slapped in gmod.

New stages!

Chertan Coast

Travel all the way to Vandor, the world of IDOLA: PHANTASY STAR SAGA, to fight at this epic sunset view! It’s been a long time since we’ve last seen any kind of scenery of Vandor.

Ziggurat Altar

Another locale in Vandor, at the Ziggurat Altar, located in the Diadem Desert. This was where Melder once had given Rosalinde the Star Sword Lionel, to defeat Dark Falz Theatre. At intervals, the Saggitarius Idola will be summoned and he might go rogue and attack you!

Pirates Island

It’s Pirates Island from Billy Hatcher! This colorful stage is a good breath of fresh air from the dark and grim depths of Oracle, accompanied by the iconic theme song, “Chant This Charm”!

MEGA CD

A blast from the past– the Mega CD! But be careful! The Mega CD logo here is the stage hazard, which will dance and slam across the stage! Initially, the idea came up for a Mega Drive-themed stage, and I was planning to make a stage based off of Art Alive, but changed plans to make it more recognizable, so I opted for the Mega CD theme. I am overdue to actually make a stage with any sort of hazard, and the Mega CD Logo makes a good demo for specifically that stage gimmick (and as you can tell, I’m not so good at keyframing, lol). Fight for your lives while jamming out to Sonic CD, Popful Mail, Shining Force CD, and music exclusive to Sega Games Can!

Fighter Adjustments

• Bujin’s floor sweep attack now has reduced forward/backward reach.
• Rockbear’s Up-smash and Golem’s ground-pound have increased knockback.
• Gau has better movement speed. He can run!
• Increased knockback for Wulfer’s Backhand Smash.
• Certain fighters' travel distance when performing a Step have increased.

Other changes

• Adjusted Physics simulation timestep from 0.02ms → 0.01ms. This should significantly reduce jitteriness when fighters move, especially if you are running the game on higher framerates (i.e. 144Hz or 165Hz). In turn, this may increase CPU usage.
  
• Improved CPU player behavior to be less... dumb while they're in the air. They now move backwards while airborne, instead of continuously moving forward (and end up self-destructing).
• Fighters can perform taunts now! Simply click the right stick to show off.
  
• Character voice playback now stops when receiving damage, to prevent voice overlapping.
• Added some missing sound effects when fighters move.
• Added more [My Card] stamps.
• Some UI detail improvements.
• Android version now supports Android TV devices, though proceed at your own risk, as this is still highly experimental.

And as always, thank you for your support. I was ahead of schedule, so Version 1.5 is going to be a pretty big update. Stay tuned!
