Retro Baseball Game - WIP Thread

I'm working on a retro baseball game. It will eventually include a fighting system. For a full list of features check out the website. Let me know of any other features that you would like to see. I will not be able to use any real team names so I need to come up with some. You're feedback is welcome... positive or negative.

Description: Basebrawl brings back 2D retro baseball arcade action with the ability to fight, cheat, upgrade your equipment and level up your players. *All features are not implemented.

I have been working on this game for months. When I started I thought it would be simple, but it isn't. I am still trying to finish the baseball game before I add the fighting. The fielders AI need work. You can still walk through the stadium walls. You can only pitch one type of pitch. I will add others later. You will also be able to dive and catch and bean the batter. Lots of work to be done. Just need some feedback on the work so far.

Looks pretty cool! The graphics look good in motion. It looks satisfying to slog those balls.

A couple of points with regards to feedback:

• The video talks about swiping and stuff, but you are using an emulator with cursor. Might sound picky, but would be cool to have some swipe animations or something, as it isn't really that clear how the controls work
• The font you are using for 'Strike!' 'Out!' etc. might need to be larger / different / upgraded. It doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the aesthetic.
• Love the title screen!

Thanks 8-BitApe!

• Regarding the swiping, I should have explained it better and it really wasn't clear how I was controlling it. I'm designing this for iPhone but right now I have to use a mouse to control it on the computer. It will be the same motions only with your finger. Maybe I'll add an animated hand moving in the next video just to clear it up.


• The font size is too small for sure. I changed to a larger resolution part way through the project and never updated those graphics to the larger screen. I'll also try to make them fit more with the overall look.


• Happy to hear you like the graphics! Thanks for taking the time to give some feedback. I appreciate it. By the next demo/video you'll see these changes implemented.
