I was extremely focused on the rapid growth of my music venture <a href="http://www.djmixtapez.com">DJMixtapez.com</a>. But I'm back like you owe me money. We shall continue the epic journey to create the greatest iPhone game with a few changes, a few additions, maybe some strippers, Papa John's pizza and a yacht full of creativity. You still in? Good.<br /><br />P.S: I'm in the market for a iPhone developer to help me actually create the game. I have the creative process on lock but the actual zeros and ones elude me. So if you or anyone you know is a iPhone developer, have them email me at fightthruthepain@friendfighter.net. The deal is a profit split, 5% is already gone so it'll be 45% to me, 45% to whomever signs on the other 5% will be donated to a random game development or artistic foundation.Mr. Make It Happenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08320841163564973346noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206234684392334047.post-15147709484391814772008-11-05T13:12:00.000-05:002008-11-18T21:17:21.552-05:00Meet Guitar Zero . . .<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.djmixtapez.com"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 324px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYFoKido1zAibv5SInCsGulKEmxNCfdciZkvcjfgWECYCOIta6LRV9aykiut4HgM-my_0YcKbWYlP_VOF_QQsssXE7N3vj9-ypRHHXG31gxrwfeVoz_aBFz1DvahqRpzvcRzPNQKQfGRT1/s400/Zero_final_606x747.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270186676576823170" border="0" /></a>Dark side of the moon.

I felt from the beginning the game wouldn't have a solid story to stand on. More like a moment-in-time type of thing. Where players are dropped into the moments before the tournament and then thrust into the heart of the fight. But after a little thought, I figured a slight back story might be effective. The back stories can serve as glimpses into the lives/motivations of all the fighters prior to them entering the tournament. The stories will be completely funny based recaps nothing serious. I have a guy that would be great for the job but he's too much of a "family guy" at the moment.

Thinking back to <a href="http://www.ea.com/official/defjam/fightforny/us/home.jsp">Def Jam's Fight For NY game</a> and a few scenes from Fight Club, I remembered how much cooler the battles with fight fans standing around appeared. The influx of fans made the moment feel more edgy and captured the essence of a no-holds-bar fight. I decided to add the fan element to the game. As players progress, fans will start to gather for their fights. The more wins a player has the more fans he/she will have at every fight.

I heard of the site on numerous occasions but I never had a reason to check it out. Now I see what the hype is about. I literally learned the entire history of bullfighting, matadors, Spain, Madrid & supermodels from the site. Don't ask about the supermodel part, I was just curious. Anyway, the only drawback of Wikipedia is that the entries can be edited and uploaded by anyone so some of the information might be a little tainted. I guess you could say Wiki doesn't provided the whole story but it gives you pretty good idea of what happen. <a href="http://friendfighter.blogspot.com/2008/08/fuego.html">Fuego</a>.Mr. Make It Happenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08320841163564973346noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206234684392334047.post-88094236021228363792008-10-26T13:59:00.002-04:002008-10-29T10:00:48.995-04:00Tough Decisions . . .<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.djmixtapez.com"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5aCaXOn-Jqqatfmm2TSqoJF8nccMuPMJWiqNTk9JLxeSQ97kBUBLVaYBK8EgiaoQTe60ByynLL5m7gVaeeN0-WinsPfScoEC3zuCpf9PzdqJCfuHrWEpYYocRKwVLRGUF4LWcp77TpGCP/s400/gym20.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261974502949735522" border="0" /></a><div>After taking a long look at the <a href="http://friendfighter.blogspot.com/2008/08/characters.html">character breakdown</a>, I realized I had no other choice than to cut down the number of characters in the game. The decision was based upon the level of animation every character would require. I didn't plan on having generic stand-in animations. Every move would be custom designed against every character. Meaning <a href="http://friendfighter.blogspot.com/2008/10/guitar-zero.html">Guitar Zero's</a> "<a href="http://friendfighter.blogspot.com/2008/09/advanced-techniques.html">Zerosmith</a>" appearance would change based upon whomever he was fighting. With that said, I don't think animating for 30 characters is feasible at this time. I haven't ruled out the possibility 30 characters for the sequel though. So as it stands, the count has been lowered to 20. Only two main characters where affected, the rest were hidden characters. Here is the final breakdown:<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">12 Main Characters</span> - Available from the jump.</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">4 Hidden Characters</span> - Unlocked by meeting certain criteria.</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">4 Boss Characters</span> - 3 of the 4 unlocked after being defeated.</div><div><br /></div><div>Seems a little slim but the remaining characters can handle the workload.</div>Mr. Make It Happenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08320841163564973346noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206234684392334047.post-29485981462021431702008-10-25T13:47:00.001-04:002008-10-26T20:12:01.075-04:00Matador . . .<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.djmixtapez.com/"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 247px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgynhTq6v0LFH88X3KxdnZp4-LGkjDXc9_sYbkKK7uegHaCSYPrn6IxoGM8bnfEbjVjnnv3xQ0-Nav9wxYMiAKx6ip7jayNfwAyAvQpSlFRoNnKTzm2axJNjpdvh4yDcyovOPjh7Bllwhp_/s400/01bulfight.xlarge1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261616008167211314" border="0" /></a>I have to be honest, I find inspiration in the strangest events. Earlier I heard a Spanish airport announcement which reminded me that I didn't have significant Hispanic representation. I wondered how I would create a character that didn't fall into the typical stereotype. I found that matadors are big in the Hispanic community so I decided to make a play on the sport. Our guy "Raoul" will be a world renowned bull fighter that has never harmed a bull. He is so smooth and elegant all his battles end in the bull fainting from exhaustion. Being such a great matador isn't enough for Raoul though, he wants his booty to receive some recognition. Therefore, Raoul wears those Prince ass-less chaps during all his battles and doesn't hesitate to remind people of his fantastic booty. Come on . . . you gotta laugh at that.

In case you forgot, each exchange consist of each player selecting 5 commands and then tapping the game logo to confirm their choices. I'm dropping the confirmation requirement. After watching a recent Hopkins match, I realized once a fighter commits to throwing a punch there is no taking the it back. Gamers will no longer have that courtesy either. Whatever a player chooses during an exchange is what he/she will have to live with.

I always felt they were for suckers/cheaters but after a little convincing from my peers I decided to create a different type of strategy guide. The book we will create will capture everything involved in the making of the game as well as insider tips/how to's hidden throughout the guide. Gamers can expect to find all the drawings, sketches, game play designs and anything else I used to create the game.

No additional damage will occur from background collision but players will definitely get a kick out of the interactions they will see. For example, the first background I envisioned is a elevated parking lot with plenty of cars, some parked and others driving past the players, for the characters to interact with. Imagine <a href="http://friendfighter.blogspot.com/2008/08/bow.html">Bow</a> giving <a href="http://friendfighter.blogspot.com/2008/10/mary-ann.html">Mary Ann</a> a swift elbow to the stomach sending her flying thru on parked car. She flips out the other side as Bow chases towards her. She kicks the car sending it flying at Bow. Bow is blindsided by the car and sent crashing out the building as Mary Ann follows him to continue the fight on the street. That's just one small section of a bigger stage, wait till you see the beach house scene. <a href="http://friendfighter.blogspot.com/2008/08/fuego.html">Fugeo</a>.Mr. Make It Happenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08320841163564973346noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206234684392334047.post-48888653059143597182008-10-19T13:47:00.000-04:002008-10-19T20:30:18.701-04:00The Notepad . . .<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVWzSuzcTeG4Fx-nYEXxfH2Tqjh6EM0lmQDXjSlrN-OEuu-6acXbvCLCdJhFY8WVJ_Ew1aNmJCk6n2MVszYHAOPH1fTM9vyfInHy43U30nE68tkCHmi1wjHWTJp5w6XvBOrzpVP2lEX-T9/s1600-h/IMG_0880-701938.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVWzSuzcTeG4Fx-nYEXxfH2Tqjh6EM0lmQDXjSlrN-OEuu-6acXbvCLCdJhFY8WVJ_Ew1aNmJCk6n2MVszYHAOPH1fTM9vyfInHy43U30nE68tkCHmi1wjHWTJp5w6XvBOrzpVP2lEX-T9/s400/IMG_0880-701938.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259026604405999506" border="0" /></a>The notepad, the <a href="http://friendfighter.blogspot.com/2008/09/replica.html">iPhone replica</a> and the <a href="http://friendfighter.blogspot.com/2008/10/boombox.html">Boombox</a> are the three items present within every <a href="http://friendfighter.blogspot.com/2008/08/fight-central.html">Hub</a> screen.

I think the game has enough appeal as it is. No need for any other distractions. After playing Fable II, I thought how cool it would be to have some type of "game within the game" thing. But I'm certain punching your closest friend or a total stranger's teeth in will be more than enough.
