River City Ransom Zero

[Die_In_Fire]

Hello everyone!!! since the last week, it was a very long time without posting any news, so this is on what I'm working right now:

Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-Kun/River City Ransom Zero (title not decided yet)

I decided to make the pre-quel of River City Ransom, by using the japanese version characters and telling the story before the events on that game.

still not sure if keeping the name as RCRZ or to name it Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun remake or something like that...

here some images showing some stages (Nekketsu highschool and a truck park place), the new hud i'm working into, a boring select screen that I will change, a new select face, and the title screens. As you can see I edited those stages entirely.

a little of history:
Riki was the first boss on the first beat'em up game in history: Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-Kun/Renegade, and made apparitions on every Kunio game. Also with Kunio is a main char on River City Ransom, where his girlfriend was kidnapped and got help of his friend and rival Kunio. He's also playable on most Kunio games (the two snes beat'em ups for example).
So I want to be this mod before River City Ransom timeline speaking.

-Only two playable chars are planned: Kunio and Sugata (friend of Kunio, known as Gary on RCR EX, and the main char on Downtown Nekketsu Baseball Monogatari, a baseball game for Snes, and the only time Kunio is not the main char.). Plus an unlockable char.

-You will be facing the classic enemies from the first 2.5D beat'em up game Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun/Renegade

-Lot of cutscenes like the ones I did on Valdivia City Ransom, to go telling the story of the game.

-the music? I guess will do differrent versions with 8-bit tunes and some modern tunes too.

 

so far openbor can have 12 weapons right? which version of openbor works with .png files? which one do you recommend for to work on the mod? (I'm currently using a very old one).

The shots look great. So this must be the spin-off to VCR, isn't it?

sort of, I'm using VCR as template but changing stuffs like the hud and fonts to turn it a different game, lot of differents stages too. I got a font and edited it, really like it!

-a short video showing some Kunio's moves. Kunio is finished but I  would like to Bloodbane to check some small details. Ohh I still don't add all damage inputs, still don't know how much damage to give to some attacks.

-the colours on the select screen are fixed

now working on Kunio's weapons.

It looks good, but it needs a little more polish IMO. And you're going to fix how enemies walk off the screen, right?

And you're going to fix how enemies walk off the screen, right? 

I will let it that way as a tribute to River CIty Ransom EX 
nahh I just added those stage graphics as a sample, it's not still "a real stage"

Nice edit and animations on Kunio. I like how he grabattacks and duck-attacks at the enemy (3:??). Good show.

 Nice video! I can see some of Kunio's moves.

 I can see that you have small problem chasing the girls in the video so I suggest that you reduce playing area's width with z command in levels.txt. Just to fit the background so noone walks outside the ground.
 This might cause wide unused area on the screen but you could move enemy's status there.

 Kunio's uppercut would look cooler if it sends enemies upward instead of forward. You need to set dropv for the attackbox.

Kunio is finished but I  would like to Bloodbane to check some small details.

 such as?

This game will be great, I have seen the video already I like it, I love all about River City Ransom, I think that the game should be named Nekketsu Kouha Kunio kun but I don?t know keep the good work die in fire.

Thanks BloodBane!
Ohh that's not a real problem, I didn't specified on the video, but that was only for character test, not a real stage yet, also the enemies will be recoded entirely again, not the same coded done on VCR.

such as?

some freespecial are based on anothers, so I would like you to see it they can be more "loyal" to their base. But I want to finish all weapons and then to send you the stuff for you to check please.

This game will be great, I have seen the video already I like it, I love all about River City Ransom, I think that the game should be named Nekketsu Kouha Kunio kun but I don?t know keep the good work die in fire.

Thanks man!

Yeah that's the title written in japanese, but also will keep the RCR "zero" so other people can guess that the plot is placed before RCR

yes I was aware of that game, a very good friend is working on it.

Essentially, what was your point? those videos are absolutely different from what I am doing.

that's a remake using the stages of the nes nekketsu kouha kunio-kun with nes downtown nekketsu monogatari and related nes games. Is not what I'm aiming for.

btw the progress is slow because I evacuated my zone dued to the disaster in Japan, so I'm in South Korea at the moment. Totally sucks (not S.K., beautiful land with lot of racist men an beautiful women), but the situation. sorry about that

DIF, that's terrible man. I hope you and your family are safe.
