Update on stuff

Henlo everyones. Sorry for not issuing a message sooner but I will basically flesh out the situation in this post.

I first made this mod because there weren't any DBZ games on PC (at least good ones that is
👀 ). LF2 vDBZ 2.5 and 3.0 existed but they weren't that great imo. Lots of inconsistent sprites and powers so I decided to make my own version that was true to the anime in movesets and power and stuff. This was a project for myself first and foremost that I decided to share with others. A lot of people enjoyed my version of the game where there were level systems and imbalanced gameplay and it has grown a following. All is well.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse released end of February 2015 and there was a good DBZ game on PC! I still released v0.2.3  end of May 2015 even though my original reason for the mod has been solved, an actual DBZ game on PC. No more need for my mod amirite? However I continued to work on the project and 16 months later I released v0.2.8 (Sept 28, 2016 (my birthday and a month after starting my job)). I continued the mod even though DBZ games coming to PC now bruh. ZOMG! Then a month later Xenoverse 2 came out on PC. Now there are 2 recent DBZ games on PC. And we have news of a new DBZ game coming out in 2018 called Dragon Ball FigtherZ which looks awesome btw!

So I haven't worked on the mod since the last release on Sept 28, 2016. I'm working full time Monday-Friday, 9-5 and then in my free time I mostly just play MapleStory which I started playing again in like the end of 2016 or start of 2017. And so here we are today with the question: What happens to this mod, does it die or continue?

Are there enough people that are even interested in still playing for me to bother taking my time to continue working on the mod. Although my original reason for making the mod is over and now the reason would be if there's enough want for the mod, I would still follow my original direction for the game (an imbalanced DBZ game that uses canon characters but not necessarily canon attacks). I'm thinking maybe if I create a poll on the forum and it gets a lot of votes (like 100 yes votes to continue or something or like the discord server gets like a lot of members that join like 100-150 or something then I know for sure I should continue. Maybe if enough comments on this post signifying interest I can open up said poll and stuffz. (For now if you're really interested in joining the discord server (even tho its a dead server/community of 16 people you can find the link in the forum if you try hard enough kek).

  4. You need to continue this! There is no fully fleshed out LF DB game! You can't compare any other DB game to the one you do here!!! A game like this you can play fast and with many friends. Xenoverse or other DB games are mostly 2 people only and if you want to play them you need some minutes until you are in game. So please understand that this mod is necessary!

    1. LF2 vDBZ 3.1 is pretty fleshed out lol. It's got so many characters. But damn bruh

      Delete
  5. Please continue! The detail to characters in this dbz mod is my all time favorite. I know we have all of the new dbz games in 3-2.5D, but there's something about the simplicity of the LF style that holds a special place for me. Or at least fully developed Trunks ftw! If you don't I understand, and just wanna say thanks for your hard work and commitment. You're the real mvp.

    1. Damn yo. There are no details in the sprites though :P It's all pixelated and meh sprites so yeee

      Delete
    2. not the details as in picture quality, details as in the right colors, the right sounds, the right combos and special attacks. No one has done it better. I hope you can at least give Trunks his two saiyan forms. If it's anything like the others, it will be legit!

    3. Oh true and thanks :D
      I pride myself on being accurate :^)

  6. Hey bash. You've devoted a ton of time to creating your own, awesome DBZ LF2 mod and have come a long way to get to where you are now. I remember almost 10 years ago on the LF Empire forums when you had a lot of passion to have a true DBZ mod created and I never expected you to pull through and create a truly awesome mod. With all that being said, the sprites that Prince Freeza and Harlequin have created up until ~2 years ago and have yet to release, also look incredible. However, it seems they aren't close to releasing their mod yet, or if they ever will. Hard to say. Have you reached out to them recently and expressed interest in collaborating with them at all? Cheers bash, all the best to you. -Hucz

    1. Hello. Thanks for the kind words. I did talk to them about their mod before. Their mod is different from mine, it's a balanced fighter like LF2 itself so our mods don't align. Also I think they gave up or something. I didn't see any progress from them lol

  10. This isn't hundreds, but is the amount of support so far encouraging you to work on it for a little longer? :)

  11. Dear admin on behalf of all players dbzlf2 to continue to create this game because I personally play very well in it. But I would also suggest that you consider the option of adding or adding characters from the Dragon ball super eg Kaioken ssj blue or ssj god or such a fusion dance that would greatly improve the game. If you would like to contact me, I will leave you my name E-mail: rooxupl@gmail.com and if you needed someone to help me create what I suggested in the comment I'm reporting


    Yours sincerely, RoXuPL

  14. my best dbz game yet , really like the imbalanced system (ssj3 feels so powerful). most of the dbz games lack that. also i have been playing this game since past 10 years and this is the best mod yet.it would be too awesome if you could include jiren ultra instinct super saiyan blue (dbs stuff ). Thanks for such a wonderful game .continue the good work :)

    1. Thanks for the kind words but I wouldn't be able to add characters from DBS because they would be too overpowered. Also the power scaling is constantly changing in DBS. There's no constant it's always fluctuating. This mod is going to be DBZ only if I ever get around to working on it again.

    1. SS Trunks isn't out in 0.2.8 as you can tell from the fact that he isn't in the character select screen :-)
      I haven't worked on it in over a year, idk if I will ever get around to working on it. Time will tell.
