Humans are haughty
They conquered Myth-earth
The other races
Allied together
Defeated human
Just decade of peace

Brace yourself, horde is coming!

We are adding weapon trail effect, hit effect, sound effect ...
Many people complaint that the animations are slow, so I increased the animation speed up to 140%.

I've just create the first stage, there is a ancient tomb inside it.

Here is the test of Elf's Fire Kick, I will add more details later so it could look like Mortal Kombat

[HORDECOMBAT]

I recreate this animation follow Mortal Kombat style (Idle animation still has a bug, I will fix it later)

[HORDECOMBAT]

Because Orgk is a melee fighter, so he has to summon a dragon for range attacks (they cost a lot of gauge points).

[HORDECOMBAT]

I want to explain more about the game idea here:
- The fire breathing skill is anti-air move. It is quite slow and unblockable, so it could be used for defending or initiate another combo. For dodging, opponent must crouch, only Titan still get hit because of his large size. Although Dwarf and Halfling couldn't crouch, this move still wouldn't hit them (except they jump up). Centaur couldn't crouch too, but he is in normal height, so he will be hit easily (he has to dash back, so Orgk will have a chance to send a kick right at his face).
- The dash and stomp skills are unblockable too, so opponent must jump away to dodge these moves, opponent's height doesn't affect in this case.
- Orgk is strong at close range, for balancing, his far range moves and projectiles consume a lot gauge points.

If I want to attract hardcore gamers, the game itself must be a little epic. I've uploaded a clip to demonstrate Orc fighting style



Light Attack (L): Kick
Medium Attack (M): Shield bash
Heavy Attack (H): Upword slash

The first combo is M L H <- H .I will upload more demo clips about the remain combos.
There are still some weird animation bugs, I will fix them soon.

[HORDECOMBAT]

I added Motion Blur Effect like Tekken 6, you will see it while dashing.
I will ignore all animation bugs temporarily, for focusing more on AI development of the first playable demo.
