Ok.

I finished the story mode.

Absolute Perfection.

Every character has something that makes him totally unique and charming (except for Metallic Mayer, I hate him.)

The story mode is incredibly well written and incredibly deep.

The gameplay is fun and easy to pick up.

I have some questions though:

1) The playable Donner is the one who helped Kaya and Kiyoko, the one who met Wally and Mono or the one who met Sambiong?

2) Arakneis self-declaired himself as the Shadow Gallery's empereor or the "tentacles" elected him?

3) Will you continue Lucia's story arc?

4) What was Go Ottari supposed to be in the RealLifeAnime series?

5) Proto Krave is a prototype of Krave's Neo design or is a canon prototype made by Sylvan Simmerik while he was repairing him?


I also have a problem with the 8CSTG+ DLC...

The stage doesn't appear in the stage select screen...

Hi, RE: Bramba's Pier, I might have messed up something when I set the stage DLC up. I will double check this evening, I might have forgotten a file in the folder. Will get back to you ASAP!

As for your questions:

1. The playable Donner is technically all of them, but the "main" Donner is the one that met Kiyoko and Kaya, which is also the most human

2. The Original Donner is an integral part of Gaia, the Emperor is a manifestation of his will merged with the whole Gaia lifeform as a sort of proxy of it. We can say he got assimilated but still retained his individuality, hence working as a figurehead of sorts for it.

3. Yes, she already has more story in the canon short stories I collected on Ao3 - there are ~50 of them and Lucia has a role in the latter half. Incidentally, the short stories also conclude Silman Simmerik's character arc. Link: https://archiveofourown.org/series/3934243

There are some additional stories not yet uploaded there, I am planning to do that soonish, though. 

4. This is addressed in one of the short stories that I still need to upload there, but his role was being the "brain/strategist" of the team.

5. Proto Krave is a prototype of his design that I kept in the game but is non-canon.

As an extra: there is an additional short chapter unlocked by getting Silman's, "New Life" Lejl and Cyphr's arcade endings after the Epilogue, which ultimately wraps up Lejl's story too and sets it up for the following short stories. I suggest at least watching her New Life arcade ending (it's one of the few costume-related endings)

Thank you very much again for playing till the very end and sorry for the DLC problems - I guess one file didn't make the cut or something...

P.S. Lejl, Krave and Shaz were my absolute favorite characters to write, Cyphr and Tiger though had my favorite character arcs overall :)

Thank you so much for answering me!!!

You're welcome! Let me know if the other comment I left yesterday solves the problem with the 8CSG DLC!

And always feel free to ask questions about the story, I am always open to answer them :)

(Non le ho ancora finite, ma lo devo dire)

Le storie che mi hai linkato... sono bellissime!

Chiariscono perfettamente la trama senza confondere il lettore e sono scritte da DIO!

(Aggiungo che sono uno studente del classico e che se mi sentono i professori vado a fare compagnia ai conigli che Lejl ha comprato per il Noctiphage di Simmerik) Ma che Omero e Dante tornino a casa, perchè "Tales from the Ring — The People's Champ" è un capolavoro!

Sei un genio, ripeto: un genio.

Chi avrebbe mai detto che la storia di un astice wrestler mutante potesse essere così interessante? :D Grazie mille dei complimenti, spero ti possano piacere anche quelle dopo! :)

Ce l'ho fatta!!! Grazie mille!

Vorrei solo farti notare un errore nel jukebox (non voglio trovare il pelo nell'uovo, è il brano migliore della storia degli RPG, volevo solo fartelo vedere:))

Ah, e Guru Guru Tengu Showdown non funziona :(

ogni volta che provo ad aprirlo succede questo:

file:///C:/Users/Utente/Documents/Bandicam/bandicam%202025-03-16%2002-00-32-019.mp4

(praticamente si apre, mostra uno schermo nero per qualche secondo e poi si chiude.)

scusa se non ti ho scritto su gamejolt, ma non ho un account.

2D Fighter Maker 2002 è una bestia strana  che funziona e non funziona a caso. L'unica  cosa  che mi viene in mente è estrarre i file in una cartella che non abbia nessun "." (punto) nel percorso del file. Purtroppo non posso vedere il video perché itch non lo ha caricato nel post...

Non c'è nessun punto in nessun file o cartella. Questa cosa mi succede con tutti i giochi fatti con 2D Fighter Maker 2002...

Vedi, fà così e poi si chiude.

Come posso fare?

Non è un errore, in 8CSG+ la sua controparte boss si chiama EVOLOBSTER con la O :)

Update: I am investigating the DLC issues but cannot reproduce it in my build. Can you check if you have the file called "8csgDLC1.ini" in the config/dlc folder?

As a temporary fix, if we can't find the cause: 

1. Navigate to the "media/stages" folder inside the game folder

2. open "stages.ini" and add the line "../dlc/stages/8csg 0" after "training 2". Make a backup copy of "stages.ini" before doing this to avoid any issues.

This should add the stage to the game too, it's a hacky way but guaranteed to work.

Best.  Story.   Ever.

Shaz is hands-down the funniest fighting game character of all time!

When will you put the 8 colors star guardians+ skins on itch though?

(2 edits)

Thanks a bunch, I am really glad you liked the story! Shaz is indeed the best and I love him too😆Good point about the 8CSG costumes and stage, somehow I forgot to add them to the itch and GameJolt version - I will upload them in a couple weeks at latest!

Thanks!!!!

And also... are you going to join this year's fraud krew jam?

Depends a lot on how much time I have on my hands. Last year I took part with my Mondhase account and made Slashriders. I shall see what I can cook when the time comes!

Well... i just hope to see you in the community section.


Maybe it's time for miss Rukino to come for the third time in the spotlight...😉

Update: the 8CSG+ DLC is live :) Thanks for pointing that out, I really forgot about it until this comment!

Just one extra question on my side, maybe, but what part of the story did you like the most? Which character plotline? Did you get the 3 bonus chapters and the secret/bonus Cyphr/Lejl epilogue too?

I'm still stuck at chapter 21 or so, but the mystery surrounding amy and lejl was pretty cool.

Oh and Lejl's laughing voiceline is really bone-rattling!

To think it was a public domain or Creative Commons sample :) it really served its purpose well.

If the purpose was to give me an heart attack it sure did.

one day ill get a pc so i can play this beautiful game

I remember seeing your blog post on how to make a fighting game a while ago, and you mentioned your game. I looked it up and, well, you know the rest. Absolutely Brilliant!

Also, modding guide where?

Hi! Sorry for not replying in (quite a lot of time)! Had been busy with the Steam launch and such! The modding guide should be available on the Itch page too, but if it's not there, I will just drop you a link here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2147297081 All currently available info can be seen here! (I'm a bit lazy, so the guide is still a long work in progress, sadly)

BTW, I'm really happy you enjoyed it :D And yes, I still remember fondly those articles! Sadly, I never managed to complete the series due to a lack of time...

Also, you can add mods to the game without the need for the Steam Workshop - the instructions in the modding kit explain all (I hope!)

<3

Show post...

good work! 

Thanks a lot! Happy that you liked the game so far! Story mode can be a bit dark and it has many "emotional rollercoaster" moments :')

Show post...

She will get her revenge and beat the monster :)

Show post...

Really good game, which reminds from early 3D fighting games like "Fighting Vipers", the classic "Virtua Fighter" franchise, "Heaven's Gate" and the early "Bloody Roar" and "Tekken" franchise.

It has a smooth and easy to learn gameplay, and it's a pity I know almost nothing about Blender, heh.

Keep up the good work! :)

I know that it's late, but itch didn't notify me :')

Thanks for your kind words, the game is still in active development and I will have the final version rolling by the end of the year ;)

You're welcome, and I'm glad this project is still active. Looking forward to the final results. ;)

I have uploaded an open beta on the 15th December ;) You can have a look at it to see HOW MUCH it has improved!

Also, I have set up a small Discord server for gathering feedback and sharing updates: https://discord.gg/vXKrvpV

The open beta will run until end of January, so that I can have enough feedback to finalize the game ;) Thanks for following!

Oh, nice. I'll give it a look when I have some spare time. :)


I have joined it. I'll post my impressions and suggestions there instead of here.


I hope everything goes well. Happy holidays and may 2019 be a good year for both of us. :)

I have seen you around the server, thanks a lot for joining! Can't wait to hear your feedback about the game! So, happy holidays and a great 2019!
