July Devlog & Dss Anniversary?

Hello followers, and random strangers, welcome to a "special" anniversary Devlog! I still can't believe it's been one year of just completely procrastinating. So as such this is probably the biggest devlog I've done so enjoy and thanks for following!

Demo Progress

Okay so let's just get straight to the point, unfortunately I wasn't able to finish the demo on time for the Anniversary. Sorry to those who were actually waiting on the demo, but that doesn't mean I have nothing to show for today. So instead of waiting for my devlogs to see the demo's progress, I've now added a demo progress bar on the bottom right of the header for your convenience. Isn't that neat?

Also if you've noticed I made some minor changes to the header, game art, and the thumbnail mostly just the font. Right now I am really close to finishing the sprites of the game, and I know I said that a lot, but once it's done working on the demo will be a while lot easier and faster, probably.

Stuff I was able to do

The Title screen

The title screen is still a work in progress, but it's just about done. So far it's just a still image, but there's a chance I might animated it to spice it up a little.

The Game Over screen

This is just the common game over screen that occurs due to incompetence or dying on the job. There'll be some unique game over screens in the game, but for those you'll have to play to find out.

Other Stuff

The rest of the stuff I finished is sprite stuff that I can't show just yet. I'd say the sprites are about 78% done, and all that's left is a few customers sprites, outside textures, etc.

Social Media Junk

I've also been sort of "active" lately, mainly just trying to post something or anything, on social media. I plan to post more frequently soon on both my Insta and Twitter. Either memes, or some progress on the game that won't be shown in devlogs. So if you wanna be more updated on the game, or just look at memes, I suggest you follow me over there. I might even start posting on Youtube once I figure out how to do video edits in my spare time.

Anniversary Announcement/Q & A Part II

So I actually have nothing particularly special planned for the Dss anniversary other than the demo, but unfortunately I wasn't able to even finish the sprites yet. So for now here's two announcements in place of the demo.

Outdoors

Originally I planned for the game to take place only in the pizzeria, but after some thinking I decided that I can probably handle adding an outdoors map. So now you can explore outside of the crusty pizzeria! Wander through the Fazbender's parking, but be careful as there are a bunch of cops surrounding the area preventing you from leaving your work place. Look forward to some updates on that soon.

Q & A II Electric Boogaloo

So with the demo still probably delayed for more months I thought I do another Q & A. There's more people now that follow the game, so why not? Expect it a few days from now, I still gotta plan it out and make it look fancy. I'll announce a day before on my account so follow me to find out when it's open so that way you won't have to wait a day for a response.

Final stuff

Lastly thanks to those who follow and support my game, I appreciate it. You guys are awesome, only 6 away from 100 followers, afterwards let's try to shoot for 200 by next year! (Hopefully the demo is already out by then.)

Thanks again for tuning in, and see you guys at the Q&A!

Another house i made long time ago.

Quantum precognition is one of the most powerful cards. End game cards & equipment. Demo/alpha build boss is no match for this deck.

Heya! I wanted to show some gameplay progress i made so far. I hope you like it ^^

Family band complete!

Call it 'wrong turn'!🚫 The feeling of running into a house with only one exit🚪, and being doomed to die. #pixelart #pixelartist #pixelartwork #art #pixel #indiegame #IndieGameDev #indieartist
