  • Riot Games to End Development of 2v2 Fighter 2XKO Less Than a Year Since Console Launch

    Formerly Project L, Featuring Characters from League of Legends

    Says Riot in an announcement here:

    [W]e would have continued active development if we saw any viable future, but 2XKO costs us substantially more to operate than it brings in, and engagement has stayed relatively flat despite our larger updates.

    So when we looked at all the options available (e.g., reducing team size, adjusting our patch schedules, changing our business model), we concluded that finishing the rest of our work-in-progress content and sunsetting active development was the best route forward for players and Rioters.

    Requirements

    • Currently, although we are not an anti-AI community, use of AI is not allowed for the purposes of the guild.
    • It probably goes without saying, but plagiarism is strictly prohibited.
    • Discord membership is required unless an exception is made.

  • FFVA: Action Growth Released

    Romhack of Final Fantasy V Advance (GBA)

    For clymax’s projects, click here. You can also follow him on YouTube or Twitter.

    Says hack author Retch in an RHDN submission here:

    Features

    • Characters grow according to what they actually do in battle
    • Physical combat can improve Strength, Agility, and Attack
    • Magic use can improve Magic and Max MP
    • Taking, blocking, and avoiding attacks can improve Stamina, Defense, Evasion, Magic Defense, and Max HP
    • Stat growth is somewhat randomized, so qualifying actions create a chance for growth rather than guaranteeing an increase every time
    • Characters can develop in very different ways depending on how they are played
    • A mage can become physically capable through physical combat
    • A warrior can become more magically capable through repeated magic use

    Retch adds the following:

    Combat Rank

    Traditional character Levels are replaced by Combat Rank.

    Combat Rank ranges from 1 to 99 and is based on permanent development in:

    • Strength
    • Agility
    • Stamina
    • Magic
    • Attack
    • Defense
    • Evasion
    • Magic Defense

    Combat Rank supplies the Level-like value still needed by Final Fantasy V’s battle formulas. Monsters continue using their normal Levels.
