Golden Axe the Hackjob by DC

[Damon Caskey]

It's not a single shot, but an entire sprite set. Why not just get winrar? It's free as dirt and beats the crap out of zip.

My job wil not allow me to download winrar. Np, I will check it out a home.

Why do people still use the shareware WinRAR instead of 7-Zip, which is open-source and has all of the same capabilities, but with a better archive format?  I don't understand.

[Damon Caskey]

Because it isn't nearly as ubiquitous as Winrar. I gave up on it after getting one too many "What do I do with this" replies. Winrar is a nice compromise between the completely outdated Zip format and 7zip that half my audience has never heard of.

Let's keep this about Golden Axe and the off topic stuff elsewhere; any from here forward will be deleted.

Just noticed that he has a smilar moveset to Conan in his first movie.
I never really studied the animation from Golden Axe, but can you describe what changes you made. Did you add small touches such as the hair animation or the twirling of the sword?

[utunnels]

I recall Barbarian for Amiga has the sword twirling move.

[Damon Caskey]

The sword twirl is a custom animation. It's based on the Forward+Attack+Jump attack in Golden Axe 3. Here it is Ax's Charge move (Hold A, release). It's main use is being unblockable.

Ah, I think I misunderstood Mrgrill. 
I thought he mean this move from the movie:

This movie on youtube is blocked in the USA. But if the video is Conan, then you are correct sir!

Still working on this daily, I'm keeping my progress here so as not to spam up the forum. Right now I'm making the finishing touches to Heartland (Bad brothers). He's gained a new move and is much more dangerous over all.

You can also make him playable as a bonus if you meet the right conditions. Obviously he doesn't get much of a move set compared to the default playable characters, but it's still kind of fun to go around smashing people with that hammer. Here is his in game profile/movelist. It's a little plain, but I think does the job.

[Mrgrill247]

I am sure it will be fun bashing heads

Hmmm, how about a bonus round smashing elves?

[Feanor]

Your remake looks awesome so far Damon! You're adding a lot to a game I already enjoy.

Will you release a demo someday or do you plan to only release the final version?

BTW I've also seen your other project Fatal Fury and it looks very good too.

Heartland (Bad brothers)

Brain exploded fatality!

Hehe, maybe there should be a mode in which you play as the DA force against the castle defenders. OK, I'm just kidding.

Really impressive edit BTW.

[Damon Caskey]

Glad you like it gents! On a demo, the best answer I can give is maybe. I tend to jump around a lot on the parts I work on. Here is Heartland's new move (Bear Hug). Didn't record that well, but you get the idea.
