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:

Main game font because (i found the link online but i took it straight from GUIDANCE's files lol): https://www.dafont.com/manaspace.font


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!

The Flipside - Development Update! 5/18/25

My reaction to @Mr-Bad 's cover of "THE OG" from @TheLinguini 's "The Underwalk".

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.

Did some concept art last night.

First one is a bird enemy, second is a NPC for a town later in the game.

@ryon is a Jolter to Watch, game dev, programmer, and artist who worked on Five Nights at Friedrich's! Follow @ryon before the quest ends on July 15 and you'll get Coins!

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

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.

Happy Video Game Day!

July 8 is Video Game Day, a holiday that's obviously close to our hearts at Game Jolt.

Celebrate by completing our quests! They won't be around long, so get the rewards while you can.

SUPRISE EVERYBODY!

@Mr-Bad and I are collaborating to bring Mira Fletcher into Outcasts!
