Kung Fu Monk is an action/fighting game, a homage mashing up some of the best martial arts games from yesteryear. We're targeting a March AppStore release and looking to line up testers on a range of older and newer hardware. If interested, please provide me with your 40 character uuid, device type, and list of games you've beta tested in the past. Sample gameplay/graphics:
Looks like a nice game. Great homage to Karateka, Kung Fu Master and others. However, I don't personally like some of the rendered art very much. Especially the princess... she looks like a transvestite. Unless, it's supposed to be a transvestite?
A few more details: - the princess is an unlockable playable character - the game features bonus rounds inspired from a 1987 and 1992 arcade game - we will be supporting Street-Fighter style player vs. player battles over bluetooth, in addition to the main story mode Slimothy and Master Lee, if you're interested to join the test team, please read the first email in this thread for instructions.
Ninja Assault! Preliminary video for the Shinobi-inspired 2nd bonus round of Kung Fu Monk. We're still accepting beta testers - see first post in this thread for details.
looks like a cool game. Some constructive critisism: I think you could make the running animation a bit more fluent /fluid. Now it's pretty toned down. When I think of kung fu, I think of fast easy looking movement! I dunno how your menus and such look, but you might want to consider making the buttons look more like a kungfu/karate/oriental/asian theme. Good luck!
I know what you mean about real kung fu in general - the soft styles can be really beautiful and graceful. Buttons and backgrounds in the youtube teasers are placeholder assets. I've attached a retina-display resolution render of the jaunty hero running with an 8 frame animation loop. One arcade game that's always intrigued me is a rare, old title, "Last Apostle Puppet Show." It used digitized puppets over photo realistic backdrops. Kung Fu Monk is 100% puppet free, but they have some stylistic similarities.
It's hard to top the pixelated hotness of the original Karateka babe, but we're putting the Kung Fu Monk princess under the knife and giving her a makeover. Here's a before: And here's an after. Any feedback from top model fans is welcome. 3d models don't bleed, and there are no malpractice suites for cosmetic surgery gone wrong.
Nice. I was starting to wondering what did happen to the project .... eagerly waiting for the beta to start ))
Just finished hooking up a shark-infested swimming stage and a vertical stage where you scale a cliff Crazy-Climber style. More screenshots and preview video coming soon. In the meantime, we're still looking to sign up more testers, as we get ready to distribute the first public beta. Please post here and/or PM me if interested.
Looks awesome. Didn't see this one coming. This will most likely be an instant buy for me since I'm a real sucker for these type of games. BTW - the after photo of the princess looks sexier.
Getting there... Busy hooking up tweaks for ai, new stages, backgrounds, sound effects. Hope to submit to apple by the end of the month. Here are two new teaser screens.
I'm liking what I'm seeing! Can't wait to pick this up as soon as it comes out! Any idea when to expect it?
