Who is the main character? Myles or Susan?


Yes.

...all right, I'll elaborate.

When I came up with this game's story, the main character, for the most part, was Myles Taylor. I designed him first. However, as the story and gameplay decisions developed, Susan Abernathy was going to be Player 2. She becomes playable first, because I don't want players to latch on to just the one character, and it made more sense narratively.

They are co-protagonists. Both of them are important to the story.

If I show too much favoritism one way or another, I'm afraid other players will play favorites, too, but I guess that's inevitable no matter what I do. The point is, neither one is the "lesser" character unless you decide it.

Next up

One of the bonus stages will be a top-down stage where you try to stop the Demolition robots from smashing the summer home.

...but I don't know whether or not failing a bonus stage should "count". I think the worst bonus stages in gaming are mandatory.

The next update may be full of bugs.

...moths, mostly.

I hope you appreciate what I go through for pointless details like this.

I don't plan on going this crazy too much, though.

Just a reminder. It's coming on the 16th, assuming nothing goes wrong.

Welcome to Space.

...not much going on here, is there?

Coming soon to another update.

Lemme get some work done with it first, then we'll talk.

Part of the expansion involves a cute little fight right here. ...in space for no apparent reason.

...too bad it won't be as epic as the final boss, but still...

Why a chrome sphere for this logo? Because I wanted to.

What happens in the "O" usually changes from game to game. Cybosaurs had Sinistar, Shiro Ninja had , Shiro Ninja Mayhem had Pirate Jack, Dragonian had the cast of Staff of Laria, and so on.

That boss is now done, and implemented.

I can safely say I've completed half of the main game now, even though it's just the first three levels and the second-to-last.

Time to do something else.

I decided that the fourth button will be used for switching between using weapons, and not using them. Why? Because it works with the mouse's scroll wheel.

Also, you've got an indicator at the top-left if you've got the gun active or not.
