Dev Update 6/2/24


Hey all. I've got some new stuff to share with you today.


Remember when I said that we'd be focusing more on the story than gameplay? Yeah, nevermind. We have been primarily focused on the gameplay loop, it's been really fun. The game is shaping out to be more like an RPG now. I think it will turn out really cool. While doing this I have decided that I want some bits of the story to revolve around the gameplay. So I want to get a solid gameplay loop done and then I can start re-writing the story so it wraps around the game more. You'll see what I mean.

Most of the barebones of the gameplay loop is basically complete now. I just need to add in a couple more things and then the game could be considered as something playable. Once I have all of that done I will have my team of testers play the game to give me feedback. After that I will continue to focus on fleshing out the gameplay more.

However, this means I won't be able to have a public demo out by summer as I had predicted. But now I expect to have something for all of you to play mid-summer-late summer.


Stepping away from gameplay now, here's some cool newer stuff we've been working on besides gameplay.

Here's a transition screen you will see from switching between days.

(Note that this is unfinished and will change in the near future.)

The game will have multiple game-over screens depending on the circumstances. Here's the game-over screen for getting spring-locked.

Here is a teaser for a new character. You will have to find out who he is on your own, though.

Going back to gameplay for a moment, but we've started to work on a new section for FSDJ. We have nothing ready to show yet, but we will show you in the next update hopefully. It's beginning to be extremely complicated to make but we're willing to go through with it. It will play a somewhat important part in the game, too. I will leave it at that with this vague teaser.

One last thing: we're in the middle of revamping the game page. It's very outdated at this point. But now it will be up to date. It will take us a day or two to polish and finish it up first, though. One of the new things we're adding to the page is a new thumbnail and banner. It's not done yet but it will be an illustration from our main artist @SpaceCore2053 . I am also updating the FAQ/QNA section on the page.


That's all we have to share for now. Thanks for reading.

I'll try to get more updates out sooner, but updates might be a little slow for the time being.
