Super Pillow Fighter is a 2D fighting game played with Smash Brothers rules.  It uses Street Fighter 2 style input to do moves, such as quarter-circles.

 

The graphics are all 2D, but different from the traditional sprite-based animation used in most 2D fighting games.  All the characters and backgrounds are created and animated with a skeletal based system, which gives smoother animation with less work for me.

 

Super Pillow Fighter is written in Visual C++, with OpenGL for graphics, DevIL for image loading, and OpenAL with Ogg Vorbis for audio.

 

The default keys on the keyboard are:

z: block

x: jump

c: quick attack

v: fierce attack

arrow keys: movement

 

There's also some other stuff:

Esc: Quit a game and return to main menu

p: pause

alt+enter: Toggle fullscreen/windowed mode

 

Every character has these moves:

down, up, jump: High Jump

forward, forward, jump: Dash

 

Each character has a set of unique moves.  You can view each character's move set from the Characters pages.

Go download the full version!

Okay, I decided that putting "2D" at the end of the title was stupid.  It's gone, the game is just called Super Pillow Fighter.

 

haha, make sure you check out the new demo too.  I uploaded a new version with tons of changes, like different characters and boards, bug fixes, and lots of blood and gore.  It's pretty awesome!

Okay, the full version is out.  Buy it at the big link at the top of the page!  It's only five bucks!

So I've been reading the Capcom development blog for Street Fighter HD, and I think it's a good idea.  I've started up a development blog at http://thedannobot.blogspot.com.  I'll be posting random crap about my projects there from now on.
