Not Dead Yet

>Hey folks. Super inspired by your efforts to bring back the game. We'd like to pitch in with a little help. ;)

>So here's what we're doing, all coming this January. We're calling it "Rising Thunder: Community Edition." Our intent here is to give the game back to you guys, the community, and let you run with it.

>Final game build: We've tinkered with the old final build of the game, adding offline, local play (!!!) along with some quality of life improvements. Local play will support keyboard vs. controller only, but it should be straightforward to hack in 1p controller support through external scripting. Just to be clear, this release is basically the same one you had in your hands when we turned off the servers in 2016. Please don't expect new characters, systems, etc.

>Source code for an open-source version of the Rising Thunder server, so you can play matchmade games online. The original RT server is somewhat of a beast, segmented into a bunch of different services that aren't particularly easy to deploy or maintain. So instead we've whipped up a first pass at a bare-bones server that will allow you to play online with rudimentary matchmaking and limited features. And we're making it open source so that if you're inclined you can tinker and improve it.

>All of this is free, and will stay that way forever. In the meantime, our team has moved on to develop something new and we'll share that with you when the time is right. Until then, Happy Holidays from the Rising Thunder team!

Fucking around in the beta for an hour or two was fun but I don't really see myself playing it again.

Not playing this garbage game until they fix that broken shit character

Are these the guys that were bought out by Riot?

I remember Crow was pretty fun.

Riot bought these poor guys out like 2 years ago and haven't done shit with them since

VLAD IS GOOD DOG

I'm happy cause this was the only game I ever drew art for.
It's atrocious but still.

Are we back?

...

holy shit, this is crazy. this was the game that turned me on to fighters, and Riot fucked them without remorse.

definitely gonna grab this again

Rising Thunder was legitimately trash. china and to a lesser extent shotoclone were blatantly better than everyone else. The fundamental mechanics were horrible (it was effectively SF4 with all of the issues magnified), the character designs were ugly and annoying outside of the ones that were just blatantly anime references.

The game died for a reason.

And yet people still want to play it. Which they can now do for free and it doesn't affect you in any way.

Those are much easier with a keyboard though

I'm sure there will be fan patches.

That minute starting at 10:00 is probably my favourite part

This is a really cool thing to do.

I have waited for one and a half fucking years to be able to post that picture somewhere and you just did it before I could

So LoL fighter is finally in full development?

PUT THE MONEY ON THE TABLE

I can't fucking WAIT to play mah nigga Talos again. It's been too long.

Why was it bought out?

Because the product was promising and Riot has infinite Chinese money?

They're probably gonna use the skeleton of Rising Thunder to make a League of Legends fighting game.
