Gothic Bloody Climax is a platform fighting game inspired by things like Super Smash Bros and Playstation Allstars Battle Royale featuring characters from the history of Gothic Wolf Tail. I have created many characters over the years and this is my way of celebrating almost 10 years. I've noticed some of my older characters haven't been remember sense my audience tarted to spike in late 2014. I'd like to add at least 30 fighters but sense I can't promise that.
Movement & Attacks
Similar to Smash you will have standard and special attacks, but you won't have Smash attacks, grabs, shields or edge grabs/attacks. Instead you will have what I like to call the Rift. Using pressing the same button as the rift while not moving will make the character block. Depending on what attack they're blocking they will either take no damage or little damage. Pressing any direction while blocking will cause you to use the rift. A burst into the direction you choose. Inbetween the time you start and end the rift you can dodge enemy attacks. So you can dodge a projectile and get upclose and personal with the enemy who used it. However; there are a few draw backs. The more you use it in a short amount of time will cause the Rift's distance & speed to lower. And you can even start taking damage and knockback if it's worn down enough. You can also only use it once in the air.
How do you defeat opponents?
You (and everyone else) has a health meter and when you lose all of your health you will be beaten...UNLESS it's a timed match or you have another stock. Then you will respawn with all of your health back. But you can defeat you enemies the old fashioned Smash way by knocking them out of the arena. But this is extremely difficult sense some the knockback doesn't go as far normally as it would in Smash. Though, there is one thing. In Smash you gain damage and you'll be sent farther. In this game however; the lower health you have the farther you will go. You could have 20 HP left against an opponent who only has 2HP but if Player 2 uses the right attack at the right time you could be sent out of the arena.
Glass Break Technique
Meteor attacks will be present in this game, but if your opponent is slammed on a platform or on the ground by your attack hard enough, not only will they lose health from your attack but also take additional damage from the impact. This will be referred to as a Glass Break. There are many things you have to take in consideration though, like how high is their starting point? How fast will they hit the ground? And what attack to use? I'm sure the Glass Break will make things a bit more interesting in battle.
Climax
Over your Health meter is your Climax meter. You fill it by landing attacks and even taking damage. Once it's filled you can use your most powerful attack the Climax. It's different for every fighter and can be used in different ways as well.
Stages
There will be almost no Stage Hazards to save time on development. And also, a lot of the stages will be based on the Competitive community. I want to make a lot of these stages (at least half of what I have in mind) Tournament Legal!
Characters
While I have 30 Planned I only want to talk about 7 for now.
Sprite Concepts with alternate color options
First is Scarlet Fallin
The Mascot of Gothic Wolf Tail. Her sprite is currently being reworked to fit her modern design (She was originally the girl in the red jack with the wolf ears and tail) She will use claw based attacks from her Neko-te weapon. We haven't decided everything for her moveset just yet though.
Then is Zack Shadron
Zack Shadron is the main character of my future web comic series Re:Incarnation. Wielding his newly found scythe at hand and his Shadow Cannibal abilities he will surely be a very versatile fighter. Many long range attacks with some special attributes. A medium weight, fast fighter.
Alice Darksin
She is the main female character of Re:Incarnation and lover of Zack Shadron. She's the strongest character of all of the protagonists. She's a Blood Cannibal so she does not need weapons to fight. A very strong individual. A medium weight, fast moving, strong fighter. Also she's got a six pack AND she's a sexy Goth girl. What more could you want?
Now Team Awesome
From top to bottom: Mr. Tuggles from 2010, Bisexual Boxers from 2012 & TERROR from 2014. They are the most iconic and fan favorite characters of Gothic Wolf Tail. They will be stacked on top of one another like a totem pole using many random, weird, torturous, bisexual and annoying attacks. They will also use help from their allies like Mr. Tuggles' brother Mr. Tiggies, Bisexual Boxers' Penpal Fire Crotch the Gay Stripper Hispanic Log & PURGATORY an old friend of TERROR. Small, decently fast, medium attack, but have a lot to offer
Turbo
Turbo is the main star of another future title I'm making called Turbo the Sphere. A 2D Platformer based on old and new faces of the platforming Genre. So you can expect Turbo to be a neutral character with decent speed, attack, defense, ect just like Mario
???
The guy with no shirt, wielding a scythe and has that cyperpunk gas mask on is a new fighter we're making just for Climax. We're still trying to finalize his moveset and his play style
Zephyr
Our first GUEST FIGHTER from the 2014 indie Spheroids by From Soy Sauce. He will be one of the biggest fighters in the game with low speeds but lots of projectiles. Little Mac is a character that's a menace on the ground but we're making Zephyr a menace of the air. Be sure to check out From Soy Sauce and their YouTube account as their indevelopment of their own Smash like game
