Info
DragonBall Z: Saiyajin Pride is my fifth Game Maker project. And hopefully it'll be my first FINISHED DBZ game. This is easily my most ambitious project yet. It's a fighting game that's totally air-based with free movement. You can move anywhere on a large, open, interactive battlefield. The game is planned to use a battle system similar to DragonBall Z Legends (for PSOne and Sega Saturn); a sort of "tug of war" where you pummel your opponent to shift the balance of power completely in your favour, then when he's tired you let loose a powerful attack to really do some damage. That's it for health. As for Ki (energy), I plan for the player to have 4 amount levels of Ki. The higher the amount, the faster, higher-defensed, and stronger you will be. Also, defensive moves' success will depend on a comparison of your Ki level to your opponent's; if you have more energy and you attempt to deflect a projectile, you'll send it back at him; if you have about equal energy and you attempt to deflect a projectile, you'll cancel it out; if you have less energy and you attempt to deflect a projectile, you'll cancel it out and take some damage; if you have a lot less energy and you attempt to deflect a projectile, you'll just get hit. Blocking success concepts are similar, deciding how much damage you take, if any. Projectiles also rely on a similar concept; when 2 projectiles hit, it'll depend on energy comparisons as to what happens. Letting loose a special attack will take away 1 level (I'm doing this so that you can't keep letting loose an endless barrage of powerful attacks). Of course, you can regain Ki from powering up.
