Kirby: Wacky Episode
2 years ago

54 seconds of pure destruction. WIP.
#kirby #fangame


And a quick message to everyone. The game has changed course a lot over its lifespan, becoming a bit bolder and shaping up to its own identity. I understand some fans might be taken aback by just how much fresher it feels. For some, it may be a good or bad thing and that's okay, not every game is for everyone. Part of the challenge in the reinvention process is to make the whole thing still feel like Kirby at its core, and you'd be surprised by how much I actually want to stretch that limit. More changes are coming, I can even say there's a new design decision in the works that will make you see the impact of the level design and the usage of speed & flow in a brand new light.

Whether you're an old fan of the project who's been there from the beginning (Kirby Engine Demo gang rise up!!!), joined after experiencing version 0.3 of the Wacky Episode or you're just now learning about this fangame, I thank you all for the support and chance you've given Kirby & The Eternal Paradise. It's been quite the journey so far... And we're only getting started!

The May Showcase is here! Quite proud of this one. A four part video showcasing some of the new additions to the game. This one's meaty!

Found a GameMaker layer bug. When adding & activating an effect layer, every layer above will draw to 0,0 coordinates instead of the viewport's x,y.

Here's EVEN MORE #GameJoltColors25 great art from you fellow Jolters!

Progress' been kinda slow lately, but I added new interactions to signs. You may sometimes find interesting tidbits written on the back too.

Who's excited for the new Kirby Air Riders?

Defeated enemies now have a 1/10 chance of dropping yummy food! Kill and eat away!

Game balance is... uh, still work in progress. To demonstrate what I mean, take a look at some fresh Chop Champs gameplay :)

This week's Fan Art Friday celebrates Kirby! Accept the quest in your quest log to get started.

I've added a new type of Mystical Seed: The Deku Seeds! These mix the Deku Nuts & Seeds from Ocarina of Time into a single item, having different effects whether you drop or shoot 'em!
