*dun dun dununununu dun dun dunenenene*

I have this idea, but I don't know how to script.

If the title and my awesome music diddn't give it away, I'm talkin bout a Mortal Kombat, Street fighter kind of game in SL. Most melee combat in the game is just goofy looking, if this was done right, it could be alot of fun and make someone alot of money!

A few things I had in mind...

Static camera-old school fighting game view. I'm pretty sure that's doable, but not sure how movement would work.

Moves-Either purchased as full sets or basic moves and specials sold separately. Shootin ice, hadoken, spine rippin, all that.

Arenas-Not needed, but would be cool.

HUD Combat-No lookin like a maniac holding left click and hittin WASD.

I someone wants to take this on, awesome! If it's even doable.

First off I admit Im not a scripter, artist, animator or even much of a dancer... but even if ya had all them; dont think it would turn out way ya envision. Ill be first to admit that anything can be done in SL. That doesnt mean it can be done well. I see no reason to get into all the reasons why.

I think it would be a nice addition but dont see happening soon :/

I'm currently prototyping designs for a street-fighting engine. You will be happy to know the gore will be completely over-the-top, but the actual gaming animations will be based around the art of Karate, more than anything else (I have been learning it for over 5 years, and have the most experience in it).

This is true...Jiminy is an uber ninja when it comes to scripting. I can only imagine that this will be very, very good.

And Jim, I expect a beta test! ;)
