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!
