Smack v0.1 released

(http://konsolscript.org/web/2012/01/19/smack-v0-1-released/)

Smack! is a simple, free, and open source 2D Fighting game of chibi FOSS mascots created as tech demo for KonsolScript — think of Smack! as Blender‘s Elephant Dreams, Big Buck Bunny, or Sintel for KonsolScript at a smaller scale as we don’t have the resources that Blender Foundation have.

Second half of 2011 was a blast for the development of KonsolScript’s official tech demo. With the game design initially drafted last 2008, it took a long while before we had something coded. It was actually fun to see an animated Kisi, running and jumping around for the first time.

The game, kind of, deviated from the original concept of having a Ninja-themed fighting game after two months of “cooking“. With the KonsolScript 0.4 having been released (http://konsolscript.org/web/2012/01/10/konsolscript-0-4-is-out/) earlier this month, we’re finally releasing Smack! v0.1, an alpha build!

Downloads

smack_v0.1.exe (http://sourceforge.net/projects/konsolscript/files/demo/smack/smack_v0.1.exe/download) will install Smack! on C:\Users\YOU\AppData\Local\Smack!\{here} — it will try to download KonsolScript 0.4 if it’s not yet installed on your machine.
smack_v0.1.zip (http://sourceforge.net/projects/konsolscript/files/demo/smack/smack_v0.1.zip/download) is made available for GNU/Linux users. It is also an alternative for the Windows users if hesitant on the EXE file above.

How to run the game?
After unzipping, you just have to double-click MAIN.KS file — again, KonsolScript 0.4 should be installed to do so.

What now?
A comment after playing the game would be nice. ;)

Please note that you can still buy a Smack! Mug (http://konsolscript.org/web/2011/12/07/smack-mugs/) or two as we prepare for v0.2, so please do support us and buy one. Content for next release will be posted sometime next month — better AI will surely be on the list. :P Your comments on this release will be helpful.

Below are the screenshots of the game.
