Good day one and all! I know I missed out on a May progress update but I have some exciting news for you all!

New team member!

Please welcome Undersmashes new developer, @deactiveasdf ! They are going to be helping me speed things up and get the game ready for you guys to try publicly later this year () Go check out their itchio page: https://deactiveasdf.itch.io

I am looking for both pixel artists and Unity programmers to join us, so if you have experience in either then let me know (I would need to see some evidence that you've actually done the job you've signed up to in the past, e.g game jams)

Sprite reworks (once again)

As you may have seen, I've been working on re-making the character sprites - I think I really like this new style but let me know what you think!

Release date (rough)

Alright.. this release date is very rought but I'm determined to set myself some deadlines.

Right now I'm going to say that I'm aiming for Novemeber 7th release date (because that's my birthday :3). I cannot confirm whether this is going to be 100% accurate, but it's what I'm aiming for now. I will let you all know closer to the time if this is actually realistic or not! ;)

Youtube absence

I should probably comment on the fact that I haven't continued uploading shorts after the first two; I really struggle with editing, and it takes up a lot of my time I could spend actually working on important stuff. If anyone reading has any competent editing skills then let me know. I could offer some teeny tiny payment, though obviously not much since I'm a student!

A cool thing I made

In the video I linked above is a lovely showcase of the game's main menu in it's current state. Honestly, I'm really loving the look and it feels so professional to me - the Minecraft splash text is also fun so if you have any suggestions for things to write in there then comment below!

The sound.. bar.. spectrum... thingy is another thing I've been wanting to implement for a long time as it really gives the music more power and is a bit more dynamic. Anyways yah look at the cool PWETTY LIGHTS!!!

Pride Month

Happy pride month to everyone by the way, whether you're gay, lesbian, bisexual, heterosexual, transgender, cisgender or anything other, you are awesome!! (lest your name is Alan...)

That's all for now. DaH jImej!
