Make your own moves
Uh oh. This technically is feature creep but this particular feature was wanted so much by everyone that I decided to put it in. It’s only taken me half a day to do it too, so I feel ok. And it is the most obscenely cool feature ever… to make your own fighting moves.
We all know that Determinance is a freeform sword-fighting game where you use the mouse to have complete control over your sword. But wouldn’t it be cool to have your own “signiture moves” that you could take online and show to others?
But I won’t tell, I’ll show. Here’s the unbelievably straightforward route to making your own super-move.
Step 1: enter the pose editor and make the three poses that compose your Special Move. Here’s my first: this took me less than a minute:
Step 2: after having saved each of the three move stages as moveNamea, moveNameb, and moveNamec, go into the options menu and type the filename, along with your name for your uber-special move.
Step 3: Join a server, make sure everyone is watching, then hit the special move button!
Awesome! The “preparing” stage of your move is activated, along with the name above your head so that everyone knows you’re about to execute ESCAPING RABBIT STYLE!
Step 4: Hit the special move button again and you’ll activate stage 2. For me stage 2 is the “goading” stage… yes!
Stage 2 executed! Your opponent has NO IDEA what’s going to happen next. He is like a RABBIT in the headlights!!
Step 5: Finally, hit the special move button once more to finish the move – and your devasted opponent – off.
Yes!!!! (Please bear in mind that the blue sword trail is work-in-progress).
As Determinance is completely dynamic, you literally don’t have to do anything else to make a move. The hit location and damage is simply based on where your sword is and how fast it’s going. As soon as you join a server, your special moves are uploaded, so you can use them on any server.
Let me know what you think.
