#Devruary

I always liked videogames, and as a kid I always wanted to make my own because creating stuff was my thing, so I started out with Scratch when I was in 3th grade and I'm now working on a GameBoy game! (I experiment with other game engines too)


The game I'm working on

That Gameboy game in question is "Koppy Kopsocks", I've been working on since 2024 (plus a prototype on Scratch I did in very very late 2023).

The current development on it is quite slow paced, there's moments where I release 5 updates in one month and others where I release 1 update in 5 months, although I'm confident that I'll be able to finish at least the final Demo this year. (Check this post's article.)

I also have other ideas for other game projects. I use GameJolt and Itch io to host the game (and Newgrounds if the game is stable and playable enough) and post devlogs on those places and on YouTube as well.

Scratch legacy

I discovered Scratch on school on an IT class thing in 3rd grade (it wasn't an actual subject, just a temporary programme), but we had to do the tasks in groups, and me & my friends would be always grouped with this kid that wouldn't let us do much (another reason why I always hated group projects), so I started using Scratch as a hobby at home & the school libraries in later years until I reached a point where I felt too limited by its limitations, and I wasn't a big fan of "Remix culture" and the Creative Commons license thing (found out about it the hard way, basically all your projects there automatically have this license, meaning that ANYONE can just pick your project and profit off it in other platforms).

I had hundreds of accounts (because you can't change your username and I just happened to always pick the most cringiest horrible usernames known to man), but my most recent is where I started my "jackalocked" identity. I don't use scratch anymore so I probably won't make any more projects in there.

Remaking the first level! (Tile set not final)

Some of the feedback I got previously pointed out that the current level design felt too boring/empty, so now I'll remake the existing levels and change some aspects of the overall level design of the game.

Development flow is at max speed! I'm confident that I'm finally getting closer at properly finishing working on the Demo!

- Remaking the 1st level (W.I.P)

- Repurposed medals to be the end goal for levels

- End level screen (W.I.P)

- And more! Read

Art that I made for my game during the #Devruary challenge!

I didn't got to post these directly to the game page, so here's a post with most of them there!

Doki Doki Literature Club is celebrating Monika's birthday and the 8th anniversary of DDLC with exclusive stickers, avatar frames and backgrounds on Game Jolt! 

Head over to the shop to collect yours 👉 https://gamejolt.com/#shop

So I was adding a new screenshot to my game's game page (on the "Design" tab), I deleted one image since I didn't need it there anymore and then after I saved it ALL the images in the page got scrambled or something!

Has this ever happened to anyone else?

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.

Medals... Stars... All over the place!

Added star collectibles! You can collect 3 of them in each level. (Also updated many screens to include stats on your medals and stars.)

Preview of the new 1st level: Now in vertical! (W.I.P)

If I put every single "1st level" I made into the game now then I'd have a full set of levels already

Also did some changes to the jump mechanic and did a bunch of optimization.

The Knightling launches on August 28! Wishlist it now so you don't miss out: https://bit.ly/KnightlingSteam

To celebrate the game's impending release, we've added The Knightling Pack and The Knightling Community Pack back to the Shop!

Preview of the 1st level's final tiles (W.I.P)

I made some changes to the tileset itself too (and might make more).
