Y2F - Tumblr

just a guy: thanks for all your work you are wonderful i hope everything goes well for you <3

Kaydo: ^^ i rlly like all of ur works when i was 10 years old now i have 17

That should lift me up a bit, thanks!

Sad Man: Wow I guess lf2 is dead for now.... :(

PLayer1 : I guess this site is dead

Somewhat flattering as well. I do have to manually log into my free hosting account every month to maintain it. It had actually been fully deleted some time ago when they updated their service.

Am kind of considering moving all of it to tumblr. Easier maintenance for me.

goop: hast du auch ein portfolio?

I should. But what and how do I present ...?

Templ4te: How do I charge maveric's moves, i see the com charging them.

Hold the opposite direction of where Maveric is facing.

Delsin: How can I change numbers frame of walking and do this frame not lope like basic (5>6>7>8>7>6) to (5>6>7>8>X>Y>5)??

Both messages reached me :) I just procrastinate even on answering messages at times, sorry about that D:

I don’t really follow the Julian War series to know any details about it. You seem to be more informed than me on that.

I do want to continue with the y2f stages and alf2 like many other things. And I like to think that means I will get to them again at some point (having people ask about it certainly helps! I appreciate the interest :D).

Frena is indeed a character, but still in progress. You can check out the current version here:

If you have not seen it yet, I spend last weekend participating in the ludum dare game jam. Which means I created this little game and all the required assets within 48h:

Now it does.

An original character design by Marti Wong, resprited for LF2 by pfartworks is now available in the download section.

Very proud of this one.

This is what I shall be creating all my LF2 data with in the future.

The first version is limited to visualizing frame data and dragging around the object with your mouse, holding ctrl, to change centerx and centery (+shift locks horizontal/vertical axes). For everything else you will still have to stick to the (amazing) text box I used.

So I've given Julio a little update to make him available as a fully playable standalone character. Get him in the files section.

Some info on why I haven't done this before and why I did it now:

Julio was somewhat of a test and 'quick' content for a boss mode where instead of traditional stages the player would face more elaborate boss scenarios. Julio was the first boss and I tried to see how complex and interesting I can make an opponent with only a few actions. He ended up as two characters inside one character file. The armored version is the character holding his armor as a heavy weapon and once the armor breaks he starts using his normal movement frames. To get this working within one file I had to split a few things such as limiting normal jumps to the armored and dashing to the unarmored state. I never intended this result to be controlled by the player as it is rather restricted compared to normal fighters. Also starting with the armor never properly worked out from that single file, so he only ever spawned with it in the boss/stage mode as your opponent. It was either being able to (re)spawn armor as often as you like or never at all.

So, version 5 will be delayed. There is quite a bit of work on it left to do, I am ill and have a lot of other things to take care of.

Version 4 of my representative character and the bundled challenge! Just pop this into your LF2 folder and fire up the included executable:
