Product Information

Agetec's brawler/construction kit Fighter Maker is a quasi-game that's sure to have amateur game programmers squealing in delight. Fighter Maker features a complete 3D character posing system -- think of it as a simplified version of Kinetix's Character Studio R2 for 3D Studio MAX. If creating your own fighters sounds a little on the complicated side of things, don't worry as the developers have included a 68-page manual that thoroughly outlines various details as well as in-game help menus and demonstrations.<br><br>Not only will you give your fighters detailed profiles outlining their past histories, fighting motions, and logical AI, you'll also have the freedom of creation by selecting one of 20 different models and editing everything from wardrobe and muscle tone to hair and skin color. You can alter your fighters' poses to make them stand up after being taken down or begin fighting from a crouched position. There's even a series of fixed positions and wrist combinations.<br><br>Once the character standing before you on the screen looks like the fighter of your dreams, it's time to program a series of devastating fighting moves and combinations. Choosing anything from basic movements (166 unique patterns) and hit sequences to throws, crouching dashes, and downward attacks, selecting the correct moves and understanding how they work is vital to the fighter's success. There are over 800 different moves in all and you'll also want to balance damage values between high, mid-level, and low attacks, as well as combination lengths, fighting delays, and your fighter's position after a move is executed (back towards the opponent or facing him).
