Meet Yo-Yo Girl!
Welcome to our third character introduction, the Disappointed Demigoddess Yo-Yo Girl!
Recently completing all of the necessary training, Yo-Yo Girl was excited to receive her pantheon status. She witnessed all of her friends be given amazing assignments complete with outstanding powers. When she walked up she was disappointed to find out she was assigned “The Goddess Of Yo-Yos” complete with the power to control and communicate with…. Yo-Yos. Entrusted with this lackluster ability she sets forth earning a name for herself to hopefully one day be promoted, leaving this underwhelming ability behind in the process.
Yo-Yo's main attack is a big swing that will damage anything in its radius! Upon using this attack her passive Yo-Yos will be withdrawn for the duration of the attack and return upon its completion
Yo-Yo girl's super move is a yo yo mine attack that will cause anyone who steps on it to be stunned for a short duration.
Yo-Yo girl is an extremely versatile character that can have both offensive and defensive ways of playing. She can play more defensively, biding her time, taking a few quick jabs with her attack and then running away covering her tracks with some yo-yo mines. Alternatively, she can throw her mines right in the center of the action and using that to stun large groups allowing her to knock them all out! Or she can just roller-skate around knocking people out with her passive! The world is really your oyster when you play Yo-Yo girl!
Overall, Yo-Yo girl has many different playstyles, so if you are looking for a character to really make your own and define your own way of playing then she is your demigoddess! So gear up with some Yo-Yos and save that city (or prevent someone else from doing the same!)
Meet Strongboy!
Welcome to our first character introduction, the pompous pugilist Strongboy!
Strong Boy comes from a distant alien planet, populated by a race of extremely powerful warriors. However, since violence is strictly outlawed on his home planet, most of them make their living doing accounting work for neighboring planets. Strong Boy was born the most average man on the planet: average strength, average intellect, average looks… you get the point. He is a horribly mediocre individual. Tired of his innate averageness, Strong Boy set his eyes on the one place he knew he could stand out: Earth, for he knew how weak and squishy humans were in comparison. On Earth he was no longer an average boy, but instead a “strong boy” (hence, the name). Now graced with superhuman strength, under-human witt, a bachelor’s in finance, and armed with a fiery inferiority complex, he seeks to achieve enough fame and glory to at least be recognized while ordering at his favorite fast food restaurants.
Strong Boy’s attack is a mighty, fist-swinging combo. His first and second swings are powerful one-two punches that can easily knock out your average evil doer. Anyone left standing will be met with the ground-shaking finale: a vigorous slam that deals massive damage to anyone nearby.
Strong Boy’s super move allows him to take a massive leap into the air, giving him the opportunity to come smashing down on any unsuspecting crime below.
Because he wants to be the center of attention, Strong Boy is best played by jumping right into the middle of the action. Use his super move to smash your way into a fight, knocking out everyone in the area. Anyone still standing gets the ol’ 1-2-SLAM to finish it out. He excels at defeating large groups of enemies and clearing out areas near stationary objectives. However, Strong Boy may not be able to keep up with the competition if the objective is on the move. When far away from an objective it may be useful to use his super leap to narrow the gap. If faced with a delivery mission, Strong Boy is best at letting others do all the hard work for him while he puppy-guards the return zone, waiting to steal the glory at the last second.
Overall, Strong Boy is a great starter character and is perfect for anyone trying to learn the basics of the game. If you’re looking for the world's most average boy look no further than Strong Boy!
Buildin' and Preparin'
Hello All!
Just wanted to give a quick update on what we've been up to the past month since announcing the game. We have been focusing 75% of our time and energy on getting a stable, vertical slice that we can show off at conventions. Conventions which we will be attending 2 in the coming months!
Those Conventions are:
Karoshi-Con - 4/16/22 - Dekalb Il
Anime Central - 5/20/22 - 5/22/22 - Rosemont IL
So if you are reading this and are going to be attending either one of those cons please, stop by and try the game out!
But back to business, for this vertical slice we will have 4 playable characters, 1 map, and 5 objectives that will be playable. Obviously we plan to greatly increase these numbers but it was important for us to have a strong vertical slice so we can take feedback and nip big issues spotted in the bud before we start adding new content which we will be sure to announce when we start working on.
Oh yeah and the last 20% of our energy has been social media stuff and 5% has been towards eating food and cool stuff like that.
That's all we have to update for now. We will have updates on who these characters are and other stuff like that as the month goes on so stay tuned for that! :)
WERE ON STEAM!
We are very happy to announce our game is official on steam and available for pre order! We will be spamming the link all across our social media but I will also be posting it here as well for good measure! WISHLIST US TODAY: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1933520/Hero_Mania/
