Hello!

I am writing to ask for ideas from anyone of who you want to add and how they would be implemented.

There is a hobby I have of practicing my programming skills by creating open source versions of games I like to play.

For a while now, I have been really feeling the need for a GPL Super Smash Bros clone.

It would be so fun to have GNU and his family of characters (popular open source project mascots) to play as similar to how they have it in Tux Kart.

But, I am not very good with balancing and coming up with unique move sets. Could you help me out with fun ideas of what kind of fighting moves Tux and his friends might have.

If you have any special characters of your own design, then I can help after I add modding support.

The move set and control scheme will be exactly from the game this takes inspiration from (or latest version of it). This might change though, depending on what others may want.

Godot will be the game engine of course.

License will be AGPL-3.0 only! Unless there is a reason for another one.

Repository will be on codeberg.org as always

Name of Game: ??? Drop suggestions in the replies, thank you.

I am not the best developer and only really do quick prototypes, but with this information I can have a better direction of where to go. I can confidently tell you, this will not be too much of a challenge so you do not have to worry. So long as I have time to crunch, it can be made.

This posting is just for whoever may come across it so they can put their ideas out there. Development will not start immediately. I have not been able to work on anything at all recently, but will start again soon within the next few months.

I look forward to the thoughts of everyone. I very much prefer to work in Godot. Please ask as many questions as you need, I know this may not be so readable.

    Tux can/should be in there, but make your character cast from a wide variety of public domain sources. Use real historical figures, classic literature, and mythology.

    Some specific ideas:

    • Thor (but not too much like the Marvel interpretation)
    • Poseidon
    • Dracula
    • Sherlock Holmes
    • Captain Blackbeard
    • Steamboat Willie (as of its copyright expiring)
    • T-Rex
    • Cthulu
    • Merlin the wizard
    • fairytale characters

    Also make a solid modding API to let people add their own characters, items, and stages.
