Ok, so, I have _way_ too much to say
about this program.
Smack Studio is actually _two_ different
programs. A Platform fighter, and a
full-fledged character design program.
No, I'm not kidding. The character editor
actually lets you fully draw, animate, rig,
and test new characters all natively.
It's... incredible. It uses a program that
allows you to rig 2D fighters with a skeleton
and pose and re-pose without having to
redraw each individual pose of your animations.
That alone is worth the money, but you're
also able to export the roughs as a sprite
sheet, import your _own_ sprite sheets,
and do things like tweak individual variables,
character statistics.... basically, it lets you get
as crunchy as you could possibly want, but
it's also very approachable. Low skill floor,
high skill ceiling. I don't think I could be much
more impressed with this marvelous program.
2 Massive Thumbs Up.
