Progress Update (1/5/25)


Sorry for going radio silent for a bit, I've been a little busy with, well, making World of Freaking Goo LOL

Progress is going GREAT though since you last heard from me, for starters,

CHAPTER 2 IS ALMOST DONE!!!!!

With how long it Took Chapter 1 to finish, Chapter 2 taking this long is a god send, with this chapter being finished, there's been quite a few balance changes, and some major updates to the maps, so once I finish Chapter 2, I'll also roll out an update to the demo so you guys can experience some of the balance and map changes!

oh yeah the tilesets have been slightly updated, nothing too major just some tweaks to some of the maps to make them look nicer is all.

Anyways, All that's standing between me and Chapter 2 being done is two bosses, and one map, so thats REALLY exciting to me! Chapter 3 & 4 will probably take more time than Chapter 2, Chapter 2 is one of the smaller chapters of the game, I'd say its only slightly shorter than Chapter 1, but its still nice to have Chapter 2 basically fully complete, It's nice having progress be this grand, Chapter 3 has me excited to finally enter the finalized team, I'm excited to try out so many different team compositions and making way more interesting pipe fights!

There is a few things I want to do but, i'll just be real don't feel like doing it right now cuz of how much work it'd take, those being;

  • Fix how the Sign Painter works, how it sells shit and prices, also fixing The World of Goo Terminal's shop too.

  • Re-organizing Weapons and equipment, it's currently a MASSIVE mess that hasn't been fun to work with.

  • Re-balancing random encounters, I feel they're currently too weak, and don't give enough Goop Dollars which just makes for a long and boring grind to get good gear, cuz i haven't been doing that and I really should be, because,

  • Re-balancing the pipes rewards and difficulty, if you do the grind, most fights are easy as shit, which isn't really that interesting when most players will do that, I wanna clean up the gameplay loop a little, but I'd rather wait till I finish Chapter 2 before doing basically any of this.

I might hold off on the Demo's update to add these before I work on Chapter 3, it'd make Chapter 3 and onwards even easier to make, I feel like this might be the last Demo Update unless something Major happens to the ENTIRE game, or just, there's a massive re-balance change made during Chapter 3-5. of course if any bugs are found there will be small patches but outside of that its smooth sailing from here hopefully! These progress updates will probably just, devolve into me sharing how far I am in the development progress, so I should probably share the stages of development, so that you know how far I am in the process!

THE STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT:

  • Chapter 1/The Demo (Already Completed)

  • Chapter 2 (Nearly Finished)

  • Fixing Chapter's 1&2 (Probably will be final Demo Update)

  • Chapter 3

  • Chapter 4A

  • Chapter 4B (I'm not saying what this means you can figure it out)

  • Epilogue

  • Post Chapter 4 Content (Content Available before beating the game but not during their chapter)

  • Play-testing & 2nd Trailer!

  • Post Game Content (Content Available AFTER beating the game)

  • Superboss Content (A 2nd layer of post game content thats reserved for the hardest challenges)

  • Play-testing pt2, post game content! I'd rather make sure that the game is good before putting the player to the test by using its mechanics to the max, because if something's wrong with the base game, that could seep into the post game content, which could make that part harder to make

  • polishing and preparation for release, One more trailer to give a release date

  • Release! I might rejoin a certain sever to watch some playthroughs? who knows

I think that's all? Look forward to the final big update(?) to the demo soon!

holy shit.

Might as well tell you one of the games, play CC because it's my inspiration for this. The MV edition of WOFG 1. the others will all get remastered. Each Game will now have new endings, I.E, kinda like 3 but not. 3 wont get new endings.

Do I Need to publicly make it clear that i put in a level cap? apparently I do so uh, here it is.

If you couldn't tell yet, WOFG turned one year old Yesterday, so for the next couple of months i'm going to celebrate its one year anniversary. nothing that i have made before has made it this long, thank you all for supporting it.

World of Freaking Goo DLC Confirmed. 1 Confirmed pack and 2 planned but not certain. I know that the full game isn't even out yet but I wanted to share this before i finished it, because i might forget to share it.
