Brawlout - Early 2017
(PC/PS4/XB1)

Get ready to rumble in Q1 2017 when Brawlout, a platform fighter from Angry Mob Games, comes to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

EVO 2016 attendees can get an early glimpse at the lighting-fast action when Brawlout publicly debuts at the Las Vegas Convention Center Friday - Saturday, July 15 - 16 in The Mix: EVO Indie Showcase.

Brawlout can host up to eight players in online and local battles, including ranked online tournaments, in addition to offering a single-player campaign. Each fighter will have distinct advantages, including powerful projectiles or long-range whip attacks, and can be evolved with further combo options or advanced technical moves. Fighting also builds a player's Rage Meter, which fuels powerful special attacks.

By merging vibrant platforming with varied combat styles, offering a parade of special moves and emphasizing ground combos, Brawlout finds its own identity - the precision of violent fighters, with a gorgeous animated style.

Set in a vivid world of ancient secrets and endless conflict, Brawlout puts the future of civilization in the hands (or claws) of its anthropomorphic animals. As an Exemplar chosen to represent their civilization in combat, each creature fights for the honor and pride of their people.

"We're all fighting game fans, so we've built our dream platform fighter", says Bogdan Iliesiu, CEO at Angry Mob Games. "We've heard what players miss from classic fighters and what they love about new ones, and Brawlout is designed to give people the best of both worlds, whether that's ruining friendships around the TV or going online to anger strangers in tournaments."

Rivals of Aether - Out Now on PC / July 13th on XBone

Rivals of Aether is an indie fighting game set in a vast new world featuring a unique roster of characters known as Rivals. Instead of looking toward traditional fighting games, Rivals of Aether is primarily inspired by the platform fighting series Super Smash Brothers. Rivals each utilize one of four classical elements – Fire, Water, Air or Earth, as they compete for the dominance of their home world, Aether. Every Rival possesses skills which can manipulate the battlefield in their own way, such as Fire Pits, teleportation Puddles, speed-increasing Wind Currents and towering Rock Pillars. Rivals of Aether features incredibly fun couch multiplayer as well as the depth for competitive level.

Twitch cashing in.

[Moridam]

while i think it's overall a pretty ridiculous idea, it would've been entertaining to see it implemented in USF4 last year just to see everyone reflexively cheer for not-Elena

[octopus]

Wait, 70% goes to the player and 30% goes to the TO. How much is Twitch getting from this?

[fantasticdan]

Twitch makes like 30% from the markup when you purchase bits, which is around 10x what paypal takes if you were to donate to someone that way.

EDIT: Their cut actually went up from when they first talked about bits, it's fucking 40% now lmao.

[octopus]

that's actually about what I expected (taking 30% like in app purchases)

[fantasticdan]

Twitch bits aren't competing with apps thou, they are competing with paypal donations which are IIRC 2.9% + 30 cents. Bits are only competitive (but still worse), if you are donating like a single dollar to somebody. Otherwise it's not even close.

[synistar]

It's an upcharge of 40 cents per $1 USD for low amounts. Averages to about 30 cent cut when they add discounts. Buy the stupid large amount of bits ($308 for 25k bits) and it's 23 cents per $1 USD.

The no bullshit response from a broadcaster whom is in the beta program: Cheer or tip via Paypal, it's your choice. You have the information on how much Twitch is making off of each bit. Circumvent Twitch if you so please.

[gaira]

so twitch gets their cut, then evo gets their 30% of that, then IF the player is a twitch partner, they get the remaining 70%. pretty harsh, but i'm sure it won't stop people from cheering.

[Callisto]

I don't see any % for the stream that you use the bits on, must be a typo right?

[octopus]

"twitch partner" meaning that player has a partner channel with a sub button?

[fantasticdan]

I don't see any % for the stream that you use the bits on, must be a typo right?

Normally it would just go to the streamer, but in this case maybe they expect you to get your cut from the TO?

"twitch partner" meaning that player has a partner channel with a sub button?

Yeah, meaning if you want to get paid you need to give twitch your tax information and whatnot if you aren't already partnered.

[Callisto]

Normally it would just go to the streamer, but in this case maybe they expect you to get your cut from the TO?

Yeah I'm just being facetious, we work for a production company contracted out by the TO's and get paid reasonably well lol, it'll just suck watching all those bits go by knowing I don't get any of them.

[gaira]

just occurred to me, will you have to also sub to srkevo to spend your bits? i assume chat will be sub only.

[Kirin]

Is this bit thing the ESports equivalent of buying a players jersey?

[Callisto]

I think it's more like throwing your panties at them as they walk out the tunnel

[synistar]

The thought of cheering a 100 bits at evo sounds cool only until you realize you threw 100 pennies at your screen.

The drone has a brand new line of cheap buttons/stick, I'm actually curious to find out how they compare to the shitass Chinese parts that MadCatz SE/BrawlStick had
