Smack Studio is an indie fighting game that allows you to animate your own characters using built-in animation tools, coming to Steam Early Access on 9/20/21!

This launch will include 8 player battles and our pixel art animation software, which includes the ability to rotate sprites in 3D.

i just discovered this and it's now the only thing i can possibly think about
this looks EXACTLY up my alley

[ThethCorvetti]

Is it possible to import your own sprites? Or do I have to use the editor only to make them? Also, can we add sounds to them when attacking/being hit?

[johnnykage]

Are there any export options for personal projects and if so how would someone legally use them for commercial purposes?

[wepeanutthree]

hey question, am I only restricted to making 2D fighters vs 8 direction fighters such as tekken?

[naturalfps]

Who made the trailer song and where can I download it?

Hey smack studio, so today is the platform or game was released and i got it but there was one problem i couldnt get it cause it said 10.0 required why is that?

The tech behind this is really impressive! My only big concern is how unfocused the art direction seems to be: the level textures you've shown so far are way higher-res than the character sprites, and the high-fidelity particle effects and post-processing don't help either. I get that the idea is for users to make it look however they want, but the average storefront browser isn't going to be hooked on the premise without being shown the potential it has, and this, frankly, doesn't do a good job there.

Early access titles get a bad rap for being very unpolished and abandoned quickly. It's a dangerous gamble to launch a game that "looks early access" even if the commitment is there and the foundation is strong.

Still wish y'all the best, of course.
