They just released the steam workshop betahttps://youtu.be/qxVUEdCARG4?si=T_VqJBA9dkBshBc3
>>730755734why is pacman a furry
>>730756050his girlfriend left him
this is exactly what i was waiting for
>>730755734While this is really cool and it's happening sooner than I expected, I have no idea what the fuck to do with this information. When they said "beta", I thought they meant closed beta.That said, someone needs to get not-Johnny into the game immediately.
How difficult is LUA to learn, really? They said>You can design 90% of a character without scripting, but anything unique requires LUA
>>730756457LUA is famously easy to learn but nearly worthless as a stepping stone for learning any other language
>>730756457It's a scripting language so it's not too complex, more like Python than C.
Finally, a justifiable reason for this game to exist now instead of being a downgrade from the first game.
I didn't play RoA1 until recently, does anyone remember whether the panda character was released with Workshop for that game? Or did he come later?I know they said that Armando is this game's Sandbert, who was that game's Sandbag. But his animations are actually decent despite his model being a furry Pac-Man placeholder, so I wonder why they didn't bother making a real model. Maybe they didn't expect their animator to go so hard.
>>730757010Nah.
>>730757381Yes, the only reason to play rivals is for the custom characters, it's just smash flavored mugen and you won't change my mind. Making a sequel without that made me go "who asked for this" more than any other game to come out in the last 5 years. Yes, that includes the smeegle game.
>>730757450I disagree, but you clearly won't be convinced by anything anyone says so they're no point in trying.
>>730757731I'd rather just play brawlhalla.
Place your bets: Who's gonna be the first Smash character to get ported over?
>>730758251Fox>competitive meme character>furry so he fits in with the rest of the rosterI think it'll take at least 2 months for half-decent characters to start popping up, maybe longer
reminder that melee cashbox is today
so, in terms of making a character, you can just add a rigged model from other game?
>>730758251i want to make marth but i have no idea how long it would take to port him so i likely won't be first
>>730755734Sybil WILL be in the game, official or not.
>>730755734>People still doing this workshop bullshit instead of putting in a good character creatorVery fucking tiresome
>>730759487>ah yes please restrict my optionsretard cuck
>>730759487Man, this gives you a lot more opportunity to actually create something truly custom instead of what amounts to "what furry in what clothes do you want today with a small repository of pre-set moves?"RoA1, I fuckin fought Dracula, multi-phase boss fight and everything, with Mega Man X.
>>730759584Shut your dumbass up, calling anybody a cuck while you continue to port/ wait until somebody ports over a already made model for you
>>730755734>port the project+ character models and animations>get project+ with rollback and better mechanics before brawlback even comes outsadly the tranny workshop devs probably won't do that because it'd be stealing their work and they'd want to act morally superior
>>730759407I think Clairen is the only character they've released in Workshop form, so it wouldn't be too difficult as long as you know how to animate. Marth has no special properties other than his tipper, and that's just a sweet spot hitbox with different properties than the sour ones.That said, I don't know if the game has any counters. That and dancing blade are his only unique moves.
>>730759938>before brawlbackI think development was straight up abandoned
>>730760002Nah it's still getting worked on, it's just that the main dev stopped giving public updates and is using discord instead. From what I've seen, they're apparently close to releasing a prototype Dolphin build without matchmaking to test the rollback.
>This gay shit continues to exist meanwhile Slap City died.
>>730759940>I don't know if the game has any counters.Clairen has a counter
it's going to have a much smaller mod community even if they make it easy as fuck because so many artists can't even begin to bother learning blender
>>730760752don't worry we'll probably get direct ports of slap city characters
>>730760927this, making 2D characters is tedious but not difficult.
>>730760927>had an idea for a character>do concept art>do moveset>even do some broad strokes for animations>Workshop beta drops the day after I open Blender for the first timeIt's all too soon, I thought I'd have time to get my ass kickedI expect to see a lot of basic model swaps and imports soon, though
>>730761016Please god, give me Fishbunjin
>>730760927I'm expecting most Smash Bros mods to just be ported over. If someone can avoid the copyright lawyers in full, probably even the entirety of their rosters. Actually original characters not imported from anything, will be very few and far between.
>>730761347you can cheat by just making a furry version of your existing OC
>>730758251I'm more interested in how modders could adapt the existing Smash roster to use the new Rivals 2 mechanics.>Mario uses Firebrand for special pummel and hits a coin block for special getup>Link uses the Stasis rune for special pummel and Ultrahand for special ledge getup (like Galvan special ledge getup)>Kirby uses the Suplex copy ability for special pummel and does the slide attack for special ledge getup
>>730761448it would be cool to see ports of smash bros characters that actually do something different, especially the original cast that has been stagnant for so longfuck it, do a mario & luigi duo character
>>730760927the same thing happened with darkest dungeon 2 vs 1though it didnt help that dd2 was just less popular in general
>>730761668The difference is that platform fighters have an existing modding community experienced with 3D modeling and animation. At least a few P+ / HDR / Remix modders are going to at least give RoA2 Workshop a look, considering the game will likely become the most appealing platform for platform fighter modding.>native mod support and tools>will eventually have good documentation>rollback netcode on listen serversShame about DD2. I don't know what they were thinking.
Please someone make Sybil
>>730761919>the HDR devs become too busy fucking around with early workshop tools that they forget to release the update with less input lagWorst timeline
>>730762379I feel like we're going to see>Sybil>Hornet or the Knight>a bunch of gay-ass Undertale and Deltarune charactersby the end of the year
>>730760927fewer mods, but they'll have better engagement on social media. welcome to the new meta
>>730762807I don't believe you, shit like porting peppino spaghetti or isaac was already doable in 2d and people ate it up on social media
>>730762862nta but that one guy's Yu-Gi-Oh and Dio mods for DBFZ got a ton of media traction because of how high quality they were. I'm not claiming that specifically has to do with them being 3D, the mechanics and attention to detail are more impressive, but it's just an example.
>>730755734Yeah Baby! That's what I've been waiting for!Now let's pray that it takes off and people makes mods for it, I always wanted smash MUGEN and OG rivals was missing the 3D aspect
>someone just ports RoA1 characters by putting 2D sprites on a flat 3D model
>>730763497mr game & watch style
>>730763497snake guy can finally rest
>forced to download unreal editor to finish your modlet it end
>>730761448>Wario shaking you down for your money if you miss the grab break
>>730757790Figures you have shit taste
>>730761016This is the coolest implication of this workshop. So Many character ports are possible now.
>>730765059
>>730765154My concern is that original characters are going to get buried under all the ports. Some of my favorite characters from RoA1 Workshop were original, even if they weren't all balanced.I also expect a lot of really tasteless furry designs.
>>730758251Dunno about first but Sonic is practically guaranteed to get a mod at some pointHopefully it's PM Sonic
>>730765750There's a sonic mod for rivals 1 that's based off adventure sonic that would also work wonders in rivals 2. Too bad it got nerfed badly recently.
>>730755734I'm surprised they didn't save this for the Rivals Direct. Guess they're doing Story Mode for that instead.
is there a convenient and quick way to unlock cosmetics? some script or a cheat engine table i dunno
I dont need workshop. I need my wife.
>>730755734It's cool but I wonder if being in 3D will just leave the scene for it far worse off than the one in Rivals 1
