I had to format my hard disk but I could rescue the important Superku code (I uploaded it to rapidshare, I hope no one finds it there ). I copied the rest to an external hard disk including tools and the like, they could be infected...
I guess I'll release a gameplay demo in October and a real demo one year later, do you want to become a beta tester?

There is a new gameplay video on youtube. When you've seen the first video then it's almost the same, but this is exactly what I've done the last days/weeks: I improved the overall gameplay (including rewrites of big parts of the code), the movement is faster and much more stable now. Also, now you can combine almost every move in the game with another to move more fluently and to reach other spots.

I removed the RPG elements (including item selection, inventory and the like) because in the end they weren't fun. As a result the controls are simple again (yay!), one button each for jump, attack, (magic/) spell and for movement (rope, wallrun, uprun, really simple).
If you are familiar with Super Smash Bros. 64, then you will be comfortable with the Superku attack system (I hope so). There is a first implementation of a sword (current model by DevoN, thanks buddy!) that will be your primary weapon.

Not in the video: I removed the ability to divide Superku into 3 small fellows, the ability to fly and to hover and the high-speed run, they did not fit well in the game, too.
Besides, the triple jump has become a double jump and I'm working on a new move that you'll get at the end of the game which allows you to speed dash three times in mid-air (see video).
Any ideas, positive/ negative criticism would be appreciated! Thanks for reading.

Looks like you copied the Idea of pikachu grom SSB from N64 wich I think is a really cool feature.
In general this whole profect is very well done.
Soldi scripting, animations, movement etc.
Just keep it going and us updated

The first Superku demo is online!
Superku has got two new magic attacks, there will be 4 in total.

As Superku is intended to be for hardcore gamers, don't expect it to be easy to learn. If you got stuck you could watch the walkthrough on youtube (or if you don't want to play the demo):

The enemies, their movement and esp. touching enemies (that was not possible before) is buggy as hell, tear the rest of the game(play) to pieces and please try to find bugs which I would not find!

The download includes a readme-file which should explain the controls. Your goal is to find 5 milk bottles scattered across the level.

EDIT: If I missed to explain some moves, please feel free to ask here. Btw. I compiled the game with 7.82 because of my problems with 7.84, I hope this does not cause other errors.

There is no sounds and no music yet, so start your favourite song and play the demo!

highly professional looking particle effects! oO
You seem to be quite talented in creating those.
The levels are a bit emtpy...

However, the game looks like fun
want to play it

Good I like it, but it too much complicated really. Needs to be much easier

I look forward to playing the demo! This looks awesome! A steep learning curve is fine as long as the controls are intuitive. I like when my games are satisfying, nothing satisfying about casual gaming.

Looks great

But the walls were you can walk sidewards (with the square texture) is too dark. It can'T be really good seen...

I`ve played the Demo and I must say that this is just Brilliant !

The Gameplay is very nice and the Controls are really complex but after some time you can play without Problems

It makes me really fun to Play!

keep up this Work

Thanks for showing the demo to us.

I think Im too old for fast gaming
(could not pass the first room yet)

But it looks very promising.
