Kangoo Twins (2022)

This was the first ever prototye of Koppy, it had a very different plot, but the concept was pretty much the same.

Koppy started out with red/brown fur since I wanted him to be accurate to actual red kangaroos, while his twin (now redesigned, he will appear in a future entry) is directed to the other types of kangaroos with lighter fur.

You can play this prototype on Scratch! (It's not good, like at all, but its there)

Kumper the Kangaroo (2023)

This is the 2nd prototype, the plot was already close to the current one.

Koppy's design is almost exactly the same as the current one, while the sprites on the game still having the brown fur from the palette choosen (which it was the NES palette).

I drew more additional artworks in that time:

In this you can also play as a rabbit character (will also appear in a future entry), whose name is "Hopring". This character was originally designed by Shrimpy-9941 on scratch! (Image below is their concept of the character)

I really liked his concept, so I ended up adding the character as a playable one in the game.

Then later I drew artwork of Hopring:

(People in Scratch really did think that this was jax from tadc 🥀)

Kumper Socks (2024)

Then I changed to the GB Studio engine and began developing Koppy in there!

Koppy actually featured a different pair of socks, instead of the usual green/blue he had white socks with blue stripes (which is actually based on actual real socks i have that I use at home!).

He then would be alternating socks in some artworks, but currently he's wearing just the green socks.

You can check all of the previous devlogs on the game page.

Koppy Kopsocks (2025)

I changed the name from Kumper to Koppy Kopsocks since it was an easely vandalizable name (just like when Pac-Man used to be called Puck-Man).

Koppy already had his design finalized for quite some time now, while the final artstyle just had been set now.

This project has been in a break until october, where the artstyle was pretty much finalized.

And that's it for now! There's MANY MORE concepts I made, but I don't want to spoil too much!

I'll post more of these in the future.
