Hello, everyone!
My name is Luke. Some of you may know me as Coffe K, or the “Alphys Takes Action Guy”. Whatever name you refer to me as, I suppose it doesn’t matter much.

If you have the time, I’d like to discuss a little background for this project!

One thing to address before reading ahead, I would love for you to play the game if you can. After playing, leave a comment on the project as well! Feedback is vital for the future and functionality of this project, so any criticism or suggestion will be heard if possible!

Now, let’s dive in.

First off, welcome! This will possibly be the primary page for updates and development logs on this little project. Right now it’s nothing to worry about, just a guy playing around in Game Maker, who just happened to make a barebones platformer engine. Any changes made to the project will be announced here, as well as news on its development and additional content(?).

Second, and this one may be painfully obvious, this is in no way a finished product and will not be for a long time. While I will do my best to update this project regularly and perhaps have screenshots and such as well as concept arts, I do not see this project being finished anytime soon.

Speaking of concept art, I drew up a possible main character for the project, that you can see by scrolling up to the screenshots!
The character idea for now is an unnamed creature resembling Tanuki, a Yokai from Japanese mythology. When thinking of concepts and designs for a good platformer character, the odd yet functional powers of the Tanuki fit almost every category I was looking for, so I thought to model the character after this.

Now, you might not see the character or similar entities implemented into the project for a while, yet. This is because I want to build a solid ground before putting in graphic and design, hence the simple sprites and UI. Eventually I hope to add graphics and design, and maybe even give our lovable furry spirit a name (Yuki the Tanuki, maybe? Leave suggestions in the comments!), but for now, I aim to focus on functionality and playability.

One last thing. While I appreciate any offers for team members to join, and will possibly eventually have a few members at my side in development, the project will, hopefully, be only led by me and my best friend. However, please don’t be disheartened. Your feedback and support is equally as important as development of the project! If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, leave a message either here on the gamejolt page or at the following e-mail:

Thank you for your time. I hope to have more details by the following week!

Ciao, and take care!
