The Flipside - Development Update! - 3/5/25


Well, I've had my head buried in the database and plugin manager for a good while now. But it's been worth it!

Spells Added

(It's not every single one added because spoilers.)

  • Mend (Mira) - Heal either yourself or Marco.

  • Dual Shot (Mira) - Shoot two arrows to hit two random enemies!

  • Pep Talk (Mira) - Motivate yourself or Marco to deal more damage. "Is that all you got?!"

  • Fireball (Marco) - Summon a small ball of fire upon one enemy. Slight chance to burn.

  • Defense Bubble (Marco) - Created a bubble increasing everyone's defense.

Items Added

Vial: Sizes Small to Ultra - The healing item. Depending on size it'll deal different amounts of damage.

Potion: Sizes Small to Large - Recovers MP, amount varies like the Vial.

(there are others but you'll see those in-game!)

THE MANUAL

So, when buying The Flipside you will get a manual as a PDF and you'll get one in-game from Marco! It'll basically teach you the surface level of battles! This is so the game is more accessible to people!

Here's a couple pages of it:

ACHIEVEMENTS BABY!!!!!

Yep, screw the GameJolt and Steam API! Thanks to the CGMV plugin, we got achievements in The Flipside! I won't say much but I'm hoping for achievements to be a very fun part of the game!

Granted, you won't know how to get one you'll just get the title of it (until you unlock it) but I think the optional ones should give you just enough info.

Of course, there will be some secret achievements!

Updating the NW.js

After seeing a post from @LUKELCS a while back talking about this, I decided to update my NW.js from the default 29.4 to 90.0. So the game should run better on potato hardware.

(If you have a Mac or some sort of garbage computer please let me know so we can test this on you machine! :D)

Here's the guide I used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK1QCi3U_Tk&t=685s

SURPRISE REVEAL?????

@SolarJStudios and I are in-talks of potential collaborations for their project.

See Ya Soon!

I've unlisted the game pages for "The Floating Islands", "The Floating Islands: Christmas Chaos", "The Rift CH1-4" and added them to this archive.

I freaking love dealing with this error message!

I made a general survey for The Flipside for you guys if you want to fill it out:

I have tons more free time than I thought I would. :P Still won't post much for the summer, but still.

Madeline is the main protagonist of the mountain climbing platformer, Celeste. The game has been praised for its visuals, gameplay, and introspective narrative. The game's creator Maddy Thorson confirmed that Madeline is trans in 2020.

"Who I Am"

Dive into the cozy post-apocalyptic open world of Critter Cove!

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."

Wishlist the game: https://bit.ly/CritterCove

By jove! The GJ user guy in a red shirt reached 300 followers! A most impressive milestone indeed! What a chap!

I drew some character's in the OMORI artstyle!

[Character list in article!]

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.

I swear I haven't forgotten about this game, it'll come out someday.
