[DLC] Wazama... I mean Move Craft - Out NOW!

Oh, yeah, but I get why the schedule slipped so badly after the PS4 release - the PS4 port had a myriad of problems, with the biggest one being that people's save data would be erased if they downloaded too many edits. And just a variety of performance issues, from poor netcode to random crashes in-game. The day-one patch for the US version, which was like the fourth or fifth update for the Japanese one, actually screwed up the framerate somehow!

The PS4 version was, without a doubt, an absolute mess and people raked Matsumoto over the coals for it. Especially when he said that the original Early Access development team also left the game code in a bad state, with bugs that went unfixed for months and some serious spaghetti code, necessitating the PS4 dev team to work harder on the game in the first place. He's even said that, had Taichi not reached out to him, he would have just given up well before we've gotten to the point we're at now.

That'd be cool, really! But I don't see any further collabs, tbh... With Parts Craft and now Move Craft, theoretically you can make anyone you want from other promotions that have a good relationship with the current Spike Chunsoft staff, like DDT.

It seems like the final chapter of the book, only for them to hand us a second, blank journal, as if to tell us to write our own second volume as a fanbase.

Standing strikes are actually trickier than a lot of moves because you have to animate them in three directions and have them all look consistent and like the same move. If you have a similar move (in terms of how the animation would look) to base it off of, though, it will help.

Grappling strikes are more straightforward because they only have to look good once - not two or three times - since they're only seen from one angle, and frames for any strike you can think of (or something close to it) probably already exist somewhere for reference.

I currently have a lot of basic strikes and splices planned. After that, a few moves I can "transpose" using existing frames from other moves as a base. If I get good at all that, I'll move on to genuinely custom stuff. The actual first things I do will just be existing moves sped up or (more likely) slowed down - literally no custom animating at all. And I want this stuff anyway - if you've seen me talk about wanting more generic utilitarian edit parts, you won't believe how generic and utilitarian of moves I wanna make.

I haven't actually used the program itself at all, I've just been analyzing the existing moves and brainstorming a LOT. I'm very, very interested in this "dlc," or feature, or whatever you want to call it. Move creation is kind of the holy grail for me as far as wrestling games customizability goes.

I think my learning moves are mostly going to be trying to make better piledrivers
Or at least ones that don't involve a crazy 180 spin on impact

But man do I have a list for once it clicks

Better get on that.

Yeah, I'm guessing he animated the Stu Hart Special for a reason, lol.

I kinda wanna make that into a hold.

Also, this is apparently SUPER FUCKING IMMINENT.

Edit: looks like that would've been around midnight for them, so...possibly TODAY.
