Who is the main character? Myles or Susan?


Yes.

...all right, I'll elaborate.

When I came up with this game's story, the main character, for the most part, was Myles Taylor. I designed him first. However, as the story and gameplay decisions developed, Susan Abernathy was going to be Player 2. She becomes playable first, because I don't want players to latch on to just the one character, and it made more sense narratively.

They are co-protagonists. Both of them are important to the story.

If I show too much favoritism one way or another, I'm afraid other players will play favorites, too, but I guess that's inevitable no matter what I do. The point is, neither one is the "lesser" character unless you decide it.

Next up

Robots fresh off the assembly line from the prosthetics factory.

I call the ones that crawl "Gwendy", after the dolls from Small Soldiers.

...so much for that zany scheme.

Let's see if I can do something else.

Coming soon to another update.

Lemme get some work done with it first, then we'll talk.

I was considering releasing the expansion today, but then I found a lot of bugs I should've spotted in the original build, and I made the minimap do extra stuff for said expansion.

Don't worry, it'll be out by tomorrow night.

I need to know where to draw the line on this level.

It's supposed to be a prosthetics factory of The Future. It could use a lot more Factory, though.

Just a reminder. It's coming on the 16th, assuming nothing goes wrong.

The next update may be full of bugs.

...moths, mostly.

I felt some mechanics were underutilized, so I'm making an expansion.

...more or less just a side quest and extra dungeon. No more than that here.

Coming who-knows-when.

Despite all this work on the top-down segments, I'm not vibing with 'em.

...might as well send this into Bonus Stage purgatory, and make an additional platform stage.

Now, if I have enough motivation for Mode 7 stages, though...

Here. For reference.

For this one picture, they're either getting PS4'd, or they get faces.
