Dead Drift

Couldn't do a larger update today (family time!) BUT I managed to experiment with the Upgrade Cards!

What do you think? Can you guess what the two icons already drawn mean (answer in the article!)

As I mentioned before, I wanted the cards to feel less "solid", so I left the black color for the outline only and used a softer brown for drawing the card itself. I also added a "worn out" effect on the borders.

Here's the previous version, for comparison:

For the two icons (pic 2 and 3), here's what they mean:

Icon 1, the one with the bullets, stands for the Rate of Fire upgrade. Here are its effects:

One Star: +15% rate of fire for all cars

Two Stars: +30% rate of fire for all cars

Icon 2 should mean Multi-shot (or something like that). Here's what this upgrade does:

One Star: All cars fire double bullets

Two Stars: All cars fire triple bullets

I guess that's it for today! No cool gif, sorry! I intend to have one ready for tomorrow, though! Hopefully, I will be able to implement these two powers, and maybe some others! Who knows?

So long, suckers! See ya

Here's what I'm thinking to celebrate the 1K followers milestone... the very first SOCK TOWN prototype!

It's heavily inspired by the Reigns game, but instead of being about being a king... it's about being the director of the "Sock Town" TV show!

DEAD DRIFT UPDATE!

I'm still working on the missions, and it's been harder than I anticipated. However, I was able to make missions work (even if the UI is a little janky)!

For this #DrawABirdDay I decided to make a simple animation as if Greedy Grackle was one of the Socks from Sock Town!

Here's Greedy Grackle Sock!

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.

It's OK if I repost my Jack Black Bowser drawing for the #MarioMovie quest? Some people might have missed it!
