A Conversation with Dev Stallion's Eric about Epic Mega Fight

We are joined today by Eric from Dev Stallion, who is excited to share with us his latest project, Epic Mega Fight. As we begin our conversation, Eric mentions that he and his team have been working on an epic mega fight big action game. He emphasizes that it's a really cool swipe-based action game.

The Game: A Compelling Plagline

Eric starts by explaining the premise of the game, which is played as Brick Strong Arm, a gym rat guy who goes around punching people in the face because he's angry. Eric finds this line to be compelling and entertaining. He explains that the way the game works is that players tap to move their character and then swipe on enemies to attack them. Additionally, players can perform other moves such as throws by drawing a circle around the character and tossing them onto other characters or barrels.

Retro Animation

Eric mentions that the animation in the game is done in Flash and exported into Sprite sheets. However, what's notable about the animation is that everything is handdrawn. There are no pre-made puppets or animations; instead, the entire system relies on original assets created by hand. This approach gives the game a very retro feel, but with nice animation to boot.

Gameplay Mechanics

Eric explains that if players get their combo high enough, they can activate special moves by using two fingers. One such move is a giant fist that comes from the sky. Eric has already cleared one of the levels and is eager to share more about the game's mechanics.

Release Date and Business Model

When asked when Epic Mega Fight will be released, Eric mentions that it's likely to come out in late summer for iOS. The game will also soon be available on Android, followed by Windows Phone releases. Dev Stallion plans to make the game free-to-play, with an arcade-like system using tokens. Players can earn lives and purchase more with in-game currency or outside currency if they run out of lives.

No Hard Blockers

Eric emphasizes that there are no hard blockers in the game, meaning that good players can continue playing even after losing all their lives. This approach allows for a fair and engaging experience for all players.

Conclusion

As we conclude our conversation with Eric from Dev Stallion, it's clear that Epic Mega Fight has a lot of potential. With its unique gameplay mechanics, retro animation, and free-to-play model, the game is sure to appeal to fans of swipe-based action games.
