New battle system

[Industrial Gamer]

I pretty much want to replace the all ready existing battle system and make it more like this.



I wanted you to go into battle where you and the enemy both use your character Sprite to battle. I want you to dodge attacks by moving left and right arrow key and back arrow is block, where if the player wants, they can hold down a key as long as they choose. I want each enemy to be able to attack from the left and right using still their Sprite as a regular attack, then use battle animations as special attacks. When they are Vulnerable to an attack I want the enemy to flash different colors, then when the enemy is being attacked they glow red. You'd have to attack by spamming up key after you dodge the enemies attack, which you only would have less than a second to spam. I don't want there to even be a menu in the battle and you would use items by pressing shift/space doesn't matter the key. The enemy attacks would be random. For multiple enemies you'd fight them one at a time. If that is all possible.

If you don't mind more of a Street FIghter/2d fighting game, Galv has an awesome script for animated fights.

I don't think it would fit my game but I might try it. The game I'm creating is a pixel art game. Not sure if there is a name for those "Retro" games.

Doesn't matter if it's pixel art / anti-aliased / 3D CG/ real time 3D render/ Old school / Modern, Game genres has been there for ages.

What you want seems like the Arcade Fighting game and Galv's script should be more than enough to help you build one, just not frontal but side battle style.

Other than that, there might be a way to make the whole battle using "eventing"(no script needed) if you are more into the novel like choice fighting. Or pair it with some button mashing to achieve a more real-time like fighting.
