Mighty Video Update: Summer Development Soldiers On!

How’s it going, Mighty Beckers?

It’s been a wild month in the gaming industry, and with post-E3 game announcements piling up July is looking to get even wilder! Staff at comcept and Inti Creates are burning the midnight oil to keep up the breakneck pace of our development schedule. Today we have a few fruits of our labors to cap off Mighty June!

MORE GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE

We released some much-requested gameplay footage in last month’s update, and as expected this only made you guys hungry for more! We aim to please here on the Mighty team, so if it’s more you want, more is exactly what you’re going to get! We have more choice bits of Mighty No. 2 and 5’s stages for you to feast your eyes on, including the first implementation of the winning stage start phrase!

We love seeing these levels come together, but we love seeing you guys tweet and comment about our progress even more! Can’t wait to see what you think of this one!

ALL ABOUT CALL

We had a lot of exciting moments during our Kickstarter campaign, but few measured up to the pure levels of hype that arose from our plucky heroine Call rising to playable character status in the stretch goals!

We’ve shown you brief glimpses here and there, but we’ll still need a little time to show you exactly what we have in store for her. In the meantime, we’ve been given few goodies from Inti Creates to sate your curiosity!

First, this little vignette from Inti Creates designer Yuji Natsume:

Introducing Call’s new look! Can you spot the differences?

Next, let’s sneak a peek into Inti Creates’ top-secret animation studios for an exclusive look at her in-game model!

Unlike Beck, our intrepid heroine can’t perform a crouching dash, so she’ll have to resort to this crawl maneuver to get out of tight spots! Or maybe into them? Maybe she could use this move to navigate cramped spaces, like ventilation shafts and such? Just one example of potential gameplay differences between our two playable characters!

Call runs straight at danger, not away from it! The animators have done a great job of giving her movements that share Beck’s determination, while still showcasing how different she is from him. Call wasn’t built for combat, but she will do whatever needs to be done to help Beck!

By the way… did you notice that light-pink object on her back? I wonder what that could be...? ;)

Of course these animations are still rough and most definitely works-in-progress, but what do you think? We’d love to hear our Mighty community’s feedback!

ANIME EXPO ANNOUNCEMENT

Hear ye, hear ye! Keiji Inafune will be at this year’s Anime Expo in Los Angeles! The event is held July 3rd to 6th. INAFKING will hold a panel there, and we strongly suggest you try attending it. You never know--maybe he’ll even happen to have something mighty interesting to share…? 

Well, that’s it for today, Beckers! We’re excited about the way this summer is shaping up, and with all of these events coming up can’t wait for a chance to meet you and hear your excitement in person! :) But first, why not tell us here in the comments, or on Twitter and Facebook?

P.S. Speaking of the forums, allow me to plug our first Community Activity: Mighty Horoscope! It’s an art- and writing-shindig we’re doing for fun on the Becker Forums! Why not join the fun? KIMO KIMO did! ;)

Don’t forget: stay Mighty! (and keep yourselves hydrated) Until next time! (｀_´)ゞ
