Gameplay Journal : Guilty Gear Xrd

Guilty Gear Xrd is built within Unreal Engine 3. A larger departure from their in house engine made to render 2D sprite assets for their game. Arc System Works would’ve created their own engine but it wasn’t beneficial for their expected times tables. Unreal 3 was at the end of…

Gameplay Journal : Street Fighter V

Street Fighter V is as game I’m not too accustomed to, while the series is icon within the genre its mechanics never came to me naturally. The original Street Fighter didn’t put the make on the map, instead it was its sequel which was released in 1991. I highlighted this…
