#XFextremeFormula Has reached 1.0 and is out of Early Access! Can't believe it's finally done after all these years! Please help us by liking and retweeting this post, let everyone know the game is out there! store.steampowered.com/news/app/25399…

Decided to re-do rails from scratch since the previous one used a paid asset that is now deprecated. Rails are complex so they will take a while, meanwhile all other crucial features from #SparkTEJ3 are all there in one way or another. This will be done earlier then expected.

Almost done, there's only a few more features to implement before this is ready. But for now, we got an actual lock on mode and the charged shots. #SparkTEJ

@lstemeraldshard Don’t think it’s a good idea since it’s not a part of “spark’s dna”. It never had this feature since the original game.

@LakeFeperd ever consider adding "badnik boucing" in the game? I was a little surprised that you couldn't jump into enemies with out doing the....(what is it called? the 'Jester Dash?' The game's equivalent to the homing attack)

Slowly adding more features & polish to the new #SparkTEJ engine, still have to spark's shot and rails but it's coming along nicely. Charged/normal jester dash, magnet dash and down dash have been implemented.

@MadzinTonio It would be difficult, since it requires a few unity assets like rewired for input management. But I might try at some point.

@LakeFeperd could it ever be open source? just wondering...

@Beastmode_md Spark does have an air dash.

@LakeFeperd Ever consider making jester dash one button instead of lt+b so it’s smoother? And would you ever make a character with no double jump but an air dash🥺

@emperortoho @lizardlooker That feature has yet to be implemented.

@LakeFeperd @lizardlooker so will that mean slope physics are more stable now? i remember light dashes or whatever they’re called in spark didn’t work great in spark 3

#SparkTEJ - Slope physics fully implemented. - Charged Jester dash as well. - Wall walking is there too. #SparkPhysics2.0 is shaping up, progress has been slow but ill get there eventually.

@lizardlooker More flexible code, better collision handling and it’s gravity agnostic, doesn’t matter where “down” is, it will behave as expected.

@LakeFeperd what are the diffrences between this and 1.0?

And I forget to link the damn thing: store.steampowered.com/bundle/42375/F…

All my games, at 55% off, what are you waiting for???!!! #sparkTEJ #XFextremeformula

@nix_dragon23 No

@LakeFeperd Will you make spark 1 mobile port too

Rudimentary slope physics successfully implemented. Still have to do stuff like, speeding up when going downhill or detaching when not enough speed, but I wanted to focus on the basics and get them working right before I moved on.

@TrustAlgorithm There will be no android port.

@LakeFeperd Why no android port we need this game also for android in the future

@lithium534 It was bloated, the code was extremely old and pure spaghetti, plus the collision system was poorly designed. I made it work but by the end of development it was starting to show its limits.

@LakeFeperd What is the reason to rewrite the old character controller? What issues did the old one had that you are going to fix with this one?

@lithium534 It’s unity.

@LakeFeperd What engine are you using now? Or is this a new version of Unity.

@BruceRabanitJr Yes there are plans. It's all up to @FreakZoneGames

@LakeFeperd Hello @LakeFeperd. Want to ask something. Is there any plans for a Switch 2 version of Spark 3? Thank you and take care.

@RocketJimmer The XF character controller already had a functional combat system, it was mostly a matter of replacing the animations and effects/hitboxes. That's why it was done first.

@LakeFeperd As someone who is developing a very similar game but in reverse order (movement first, then combat), a decreased jump height is a good way to prevent flying past everything. You might also want to look into higher mid-air gravity, higher air resistance, lower base speed, etc.

Translating #SparkTEJ's combat into the XF character controller. It's NOT 1:1 with the 3rd game and I don't think it will ever be, overall I am glad to be working with this new character controller, the new code is so much easier to work with and allows me to do a lot more. Will start working on slope physics and proper running on loop de loops soon enough. Also, I think I like this closer camera angle better, spark also might not jump as high as before. This may allow stages to be denser since you're less likely to run past everything, but we will see.
