Remember to log in the forums in order to see the files available!

Legendary Warrior, Legendary Moves

A new version of Rumblah! is on it's way and in order to show off all it's new stuff Ryu is getting prepared.

The candidates are on ShortFuse!

The new version of ShortFuse has gone through some serious upgrading and who's better to check the new details than the candidates for tomorrow elections! Check McCain and Obama getting the ShortFuse treatment!

Slow-Motion KO Animation

As in most fighting games, when you KO somebody time freezes and then he falls in slow motion to the floor. Rumblah! just had to have this too!

Block, Dash n' Roll!

A video discribing the defensive techiniques you asked for in the poll! They're being pollished for the new Beta.

If you dash while blocking you'll be able to roll. This move is very good for dodging atacks and run behind your enemy as you can see on the video. Besides, while you roll you cannot be damaged!

Montage of fights against the CPU

Montage of fights against the CPU. Testing AI and improving it since the last video. Also the messages before the fight were added.

First fight vs CPU!

A first approach to the workings of the artificial intelligence from the challangers in Rumblah!


Green Betaman is controlled by the CPU.

Some bugs exist such as disslocated hitsparks among other things that will be corrected.

Fireballs and Combo System

No fighting game is complete without these two details. Characters always have some sort of fireball, whether it's an energy ball or a physical object. A combo system registers the chained hits performed by the player.

Stage - Disco Floor

Let the Disco lights follow your moves!! Step on the tiles and check out the effect! The stage is currently on Beta, so don't you worry: a disco-ball we'll be up there sooner or later!

The Rumblah ShortFuse! Experience

So the entry about ShortFuse! wasn't clear enough? Well then check it out in action!

Dan in Rumblah!

It's the first user-created character! One of Rumblah's beta-testers gave it a try and created Dan from Street Fighter with some humorous animations instead of attacking. Watch happymeat's(a.k.a. madminifig) creation go!

This video has been up for a while and used an early Beta which explains why it hasn't got a lot of animations.

Stage Testing

This video shows differents stages to play in Rumblah! They currently have the same vertical and horizontal limits as the BetaRoom but that is going to change. They're all from Capcom games: Las Vegas from Street Fighter HD Remix and the other two from Marvel vs Capcom (even the effect in the last one ;))

Side Turning and Enemy Volleying

Another video that shows how characters turn to face each other if they cross over each other. Also showing, Betaman's Down+A attack which let's you volley with your enemy!

First Beta Fight - Ryu vs Betaman

First fight between Ryu and Betaman. Their movesets are limited to grounded attacks. Notice that some attacks pull the characters further back because of how they are executed (Betaman's HeadButt or Ryu's kick).

Also notice that the players' health decreases.

Beta Video - Scrolling & Ryu Skins

A new beta video showing the camera scrolling in both vertical (seen before) and horizontal axises.

Also you can see more skins available for Ryu and a second player moving around!

External Image use

The character development mechanism will include the use of external images. This is files with the PNG or GIF extension (since they allow transparencies) will represent each animated part and will be stored in a directory that corresponds to the character. This permits complex designs that can be done on external programs and don't depend on directly drawing in Flash, but most importantly, it allows the characters to have a change of skin.

Let's suppose that we have Betaman, but we don't lke his greenish color, we can then create a versión of his parts with another range of colors such as those seen in this video.

This color changes help players that select the same character to differentiate themselves, something commonly seen on fighting games.

But most importantly is that one can change the entire appearance of the character!! A third skin for the character could be something totally different!! The character will have the same moveset but could have any image that fits with the dimensions of its parts, for example your own face!!

Beta Video 01

Beta Video with some basic moves of the 'Betaman' character

The character may look a bit blury but trust me, it doesn't look like that in the engine.
