Chu's Dynasty In Review!

#1 Dude... Graphics in the trailer look amazing! You need to make ME some art (waving a medallion in front of Matthew's face in hopes to hypnotise him) :-)

Downloading the playtest right now :-)

#2 @Matthew

Its looks really good! I'll give it a dl when I get chance!

#3 This game looks MINT!

Great work!

#4 Thanks so much guys! This community has been great. :)

#5 I played for about an hour earlier today, and will give it another hour or so tonight. So far I have only noticed a couple things and have a few suggestions. I will have my feedback submitted tonight or tomorrow.

Its nearly solid though, great job!

#6 I added my comments on the creator's club page. Give yourself a pat on the back great job ;)

#7 I added my comment as well, good job, this game is great!

#8 Will what is your CC member name?

#9 John, its the same as my GT, Modern07

#10 Looks slick, CC XNA come back up so I can grab a copy *shakes fist*

#11 Thanks for the comments and feedback everyone! We'll post an update soon.

With XNA going down we picked a funny time to start a playtest. ;)

#12 Talk about bad luck. But seriously this is a really good game and I wish you all the best! Let me know when it goes into review. Hopefully we can get this out ASAP :)

#13 Wow. This looks awesome. Great work. Looks really cool! Really gives me something to shoot for in terms of polish for the platform. This will seem stupid, but how can I playtest it?

The link to the forums is down.

#14 The XNA forums are down for the next few days. They should come back up soon.

Heya John, we are planing on polishing till late December and then shipping :).

#15 If you could get this out for the XMAS season rush it would probably help your download and sales :)

#16 I was thinking about that. But I wonder if it would help or hurt being that we don't have the marketing budget to compete with the bigger releases.

Also I'm worried people might be less apt to buy indie games when they have new AAA titles to play. Does anyone know the sales statistics for indie games based on season?

I hope your right though John.

#17 the trailer looks super awesome, once xna website is back up, i will playtest, :)

#18 Well it just makes sense, North Americans Spend ALOT of money during that season. If you get on the service as a new release sometime in december, your chances of a lot of people downloading and playing are much higher than January. I think the sweetspot is Dec 18-31. During that time people who go to school are out and have nothing to do. And there will be people wanting to play your game.

#19 Mathew, will you be doing more work on Heta, I had trouble beating Noah. Any tips for her beating him?

#20 We are still working on balance. I have another round of playtesting with a pro Street fighter player. The first round helped alot so I'm sure the 2nd will get things more in line balance wise so I'm not 100% sure everything is balanced.

Heta Fights Noah best at range so try to keep him away. use jumping fireballs alot and regular fireballs at long range (outside his lunge range). Also when you can use A to get in for a quick poke. If you connect with Y you can then hit B right after to combo into a fireball.

A very high damage combo with heta (if you can land it) is (start when jumping) Down + Y then when that hits Down +X, Y (on ground), B.

Overall though you need to use fireballs to be aggressive and react to his attacks. Also try using your time power to set up traps.

Hope your having fun!
