Marvel RPG [BETA Testers needed!]

Archive: 9 posts


This is possibly the most comprehensive Marvel RPG on the community (and there's a lot of them).
The level contains a functional menu and character selection screen. At the moment it supports 24 different characters with plans to add another 24 later on if the level is stable. You can (and must) chose four characters, one from each column, it currently supports 1296 possible combinations of characters. Each column has 6 characters. Many characters have unique abilities. Many of the Characters have alternate mode (toggled by pressing/holding Triangle). If it's possible and when it's finished it will support 48 different characters, or 1679616 possible combinations.

Planned characters are subject to change, I may purchase the last Marvel Costume Pack and use them instead. I may release other maps in the future. I may drop memorizer support in favor of tag sensors.
Have fun! And please report any bugs, glitches or stability issues (priority on the latter).

F4F has no strict limit but I cannot guarantee a time-frame for returns.

Amazing job! Looked nice and had not much trouble (except getting used to them, which is normal), at least from those chars i tested a bit.

the only "bugs" i found are those:
- character hidden between player icon on the left top of the screen (when more than one player)
- being able to leave the bots made me accidentally get out of them and sometimes get stuck
- the camera sometimes showed a building from the wrong side and i did not see what i was doing
- i died because of to much speed bumpging between the edge of two walls (i think that can't be fixed)
- what if someone wants to choose two of one collumn? (but you said that will be changed later so thats fine)

hope that helps somehow.

Well, that's good to hear. There must be something terribly wrong with my PS3 then because I thought it was the level causing the freezes. I'll need to delete a bunch of stuff from my popit to see if that saves anything, and I'll give your level a play after.


- character hidden between player icon on the left top of the screen (when more than one player)

The cameras relied heavily on guesswork but It's on my list of fixes.

Just got to play this, and I can see that you have put a ton of work into it!

Over all it was a nice design, but was a bit laggy due to the size of everything. Not sure if you have emitter logic popping stuff in just off screen (thought I saw shawarma hut pop in), but I think that this is slowing down the level, so things felt a little floaty. I'm guessing that you are working on optimising this further already.

Sometimes the camera angles and zoom level made it tricky to see what layers were playable, and I got confused as to which layer I was standing in.

Really like the character classes, but think that you are adding a lot of extra overhead to have variances of the same character. I understand that picking the 'best' can be a complicated task, but I think you could scale back a bit.

Take Captain America for example. There is no real difference in skill set benefits between the two versions. Adding to that the difficulty in distinguishing detail between the two (LBP doesn't give that much flexibility), and the small photo icons don't really convey any differences. There is no names so as a player all I see is two Caps.

Another example; Thor and Storm should be more than just different skins. Their powers do overlap in a way, and it does make sense that you'd want both in the game, but they need to have more differences in playing them. Shooting lightning and flying, with Thor doing a hammer throw (mid range) and storm doing a wind gust (short range).

A line of Iron Mans are also a bit of an overkill, yes (some of them) are different, but maybe the suits would be better suited spread across categories. Hulk buster as a brute, Mk42 as acrobatic, war machine as flyer/offensive.

Last thing I wanted to mention was about the menu. Character select should be above start, especially considering that you can't start until you have selected characters.
