Update 1.4.0 - Difficulty Swapping!

If things get tough, there's no need to start from the beginning!


The big feature of this update is difficulty swapping! If you begin a file in "retro" mode, you may now switch to "newcomer" mode at any point. Please note that this conversion is one way. There is no bumping up the difficulty from an easier file!

Misc.

  • You may now swap the difficulty to "newcomer" from a "retro" file. This can be done from the "file select" screen.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where the boomerang sound effect would play for far too long.

  • Fixed a soft lock in Act 2 where the player could leave behind the Bellion, locking themselves in a pit.

  • Fixed a bug in Act 3 where Belle and all of the enemies would disappear.

  • Fixed a couple of background inconsistencies corresponding to Act 3.

  • Fixed a soft lock in Act 4 where the player could defeat the boss prematurely.

I apologize that this update came so soon after 1.3.2. Thank you once again to all of the new players! Feel free to reach out with any further bug reports and suggestions.

I'm working on cutscene features like smooth camera movements. Enjoy a snippet of this prototype tutorial!

Sharing this fellow again because his room has become so full over time!

Check out the second slide for a peek into the past!

I've been hard at work on level design sketches the past couple weeks. Maybe I'll post some soon so you all can peek at my process! Stay tuned :)

Do you love Belle Boomerang? Do you love Bugs? If you answered "yes" to either of those questions, you are bound to love my new game, Insectile! Wishlist on Steam! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3045270/Insectile/

Unlike any indie game I've done before, I have this goal with Insectile that the maps should feel "cute" even when zoomed out. At some point, I'd love to do a time lapse of me building one of these rooms :)

My last project vs. my current project!

For this #ScreenshotSaturday, I have a little Before and After! This is Act 1 of Belle Boomerang 5 years ago and today! Look at how much the game's grown!

(Psst! There are new Belle Boomerang stickers in my Creator Sticker Pack! Enjoy!)

I will start answering questions in 15 minutes!

Working on designing an underground tile set for my indie game. Am I on the right track?

Some fast-paced platforming on a snowy, but sweet, summit!

Don't forget that Belle Boomerang is 50% off right now!
