Ooohoohoo, I'll have a look and tell you what I think!Virtue wrote:First public Alpha release!
ok here's the first release of the mod, there are no levels mind you, and a few dom things still exist, but as for characters (apart from super saiyan) they are pretty much final. Enjoy!

... I most certainly did not sit here waiting for the download to finish with old promotional DBZ music playing.
EDIT: Damn good work! I'll make a little list here to talk about stuff. As this is an alpha, I imagine lot's of stuff is still unrefined and subject to change, but I'll list stuff anyway, just in case I cover something you might not have plans to change.Here are some nitpicks, obviously this is an alpha, but I'll list all of them here to give my current impression.
- 1. The monster replacements are great! Especially having the Ocean dub voices, listening to them mock my powerlevel from around a corner is just gold. You might want to disable infighting, due to them having only forward attacking frames, but then again, a little infighting always happens with the badguys. If you have plans for replacing the rest of the Doom enemies, maybe you could make the high level enemies execute their minions with a single blast if they get hit by them.
2. All of the weapons feel and act really solid; none of them feel weak or underpowered, and the attacks used by each character really does set them apart, it's great. (The secondary fire on the Tribeam... I love you. That was perfect.)
3. The sound effects are great, even little stuff like the sounds when you activate flying really adds to the immersion a great deal.
I look forward to seeing this finished, you've done an excellent job so far!
- 1. A few of the HUD sprites could use a bit more fixing, notably Frieza's and Piccolo's. Piccolo only has long nails on the SBC, and Frieza also gets Piccolo's nails on his Deathbeam. Frieza also has the armbands on his normal attacks. These are quite obvious and I expect you already have plans here.
2. Some characters swap between Funimation and Ocean dub during their attacks, notably Vegeta and Krillin. Also, not sure, but I think Jeice has a few of Krillin's sounds, barely noticable.
3. Final Flash is blue, for some reason. Should probably be yellow. Lots of attacks have been shown in different colors for no reason, but that isn't one of them.
4. Do you have plans to make a custom HUD? It might be a good idea to put the names of the currently selected attack on the HUD, so you don't doom yourself when you accidentally use a move that locks you in place.
5. Block doesn't block melee attacks. I'm not sure how you could get around that, honestly. The only way I can think of right now would block in every direction, unfortunately.
Unfortunately, this is excessively strange sounding. Considering all the other characters are Funi, you should find replacement sounds. Perhaps check for sound rips from some of the console games, like the Budokai series, for instance. I haven't checked to see if anyone's managed to get sounds from the more modern games, but they'd have the best ones, especially stuff like Raging Blast 2.Virtue wrote:Unfortunately for the sounds, (krillin especially) Ocean has the best version of the line, plus I personally prefer Terry Klassen to Sonny Strait. Vegeta's Galllick gun I just ripped it directly from the show, Im in 2 minds whether to change it to Funi as I love the line "Dodge this next attack if you can!"
Nah, it was me mishearing his powerup sound, which sounds a lot like Ocean dub Krillin.Virtue wrote:Jeice uses his own sounds, none were repeated from Krillins sounds. Which ones did you note out of interest?
I'm under the impression that while he used similar hand movements, that was just a beam. Later on in the series, he really telegraphs the hell out of Final Flash, it's extremely noticeable, even the show itself changes pace to signify it. Of course, almost all stuff in DBZ can be interpreted different ways by fans, so this is merely my opinion.Virtue wrote:I used Vegeta's FF from his first time using it against Recoome. Eventually when i figure out how to do Super Saiyan his FF will be yellow (and he'll gain big bang attack)
I have access to other sounds, so its not too bad In terms of it jarring...Im from the uk and here we only had Funi for the frieza saga and bits of the buu saga, we had ocean for everything else, so it doesnt sound too bad for me but hey, thats just meYholl wrote:Unfortunately, this is excessively strange sounding.

Honestly I do love those Ocean dub voices just like you, but you really need uniformity here.

Anyway, I'm quite looking forward to the next update.
I'm simply pointing out the fact that characters are swapping between voices by two completely different people. It doesn't matter what dub it is.Virtue wrote:In terms of it jarring...Im from the uk and here we only had Funi for the frieza saga and bits of the buu saga, we had ocean for everything else, so it doesnt sound too bad for me but hey, thats just me
