Somehow, I've been making platform fighters for over 20 years now.

Dan, can you post this on bluesky so i can share it with my friends who dont use twitter?

Yeah. I'll go do that now. Thanks for the reminder.

Our hottest launch of 2024 is here! 🔥 Who will take up the challenge of aerial duels? 🛩️ "Warhammer 40,000: Dakka Squadron" is available now on the Nintendo eShop! More info:

How does Falco Vs Mewtwo fit into all of this? Don't you think I forgot about this masterpiece

I thought about including it, but I would have had to break out my old pc or my external drive to record and I'm lazy. There's a couple other small ones missing. And another I created as part of a training thing at Microsoft that I can't share :(

Do you have any advice for someone who’s working on trying to build a platform fighter of their own?

Make a bunch of them over the span of 20 years :D I remember Trevor being surprised about how Rivals 1 was organized. Like I modded Brawl or had a mentor that taught me. But I had so many projects that got too unruly to keep making so I had to restart and took those learnings.

20 years? And you made the best platform Fighting game yet. Rivals of Aether II. And I can’t wait for more characters and the story mode for that game.

Thanks for making RoA! Without it, a certain super cool sword-wielding leopard wouldn’t exist!!

great beyonce song of choice

With all love. I will be making a Dan Fournace "Twenty years of Plat fighter dev" jokes akin to the Riot Games "200 years of game dev" jokes from here on out
