Hey, y’all!
I know it’s been WAY too long since we’ve said much about the game.
*gestures at the world*
A LOT has been going on, but we’ll be launching a revamped website this week, along with a regular update schedule and roadmap. Thank you for your patience & support 🥰

Apologies for the lack of daily updates. We’re still working, but hurricane fatigue is very real. A lot has happened behind the scenes, but we should have a new dev log on Monday going into all the things we’ve updated ☺️

Add DKC to the list of games #bugSquashers is inspired by.
We promise it won’t be as hard though. We’re not cruel 🤣

Finally had the energy to work on #bugSquashers tonight and added 3 new collectibles/powerups to the game.
Took a bit of inspiration from Donkey Kong Country 😉
Still need to revamp the HUD, but it’s progress 🥰

Yesterday, we added the bugs. Today, we added the ability to squash them.
As an added bonus, we've improved the Dash mechanic's animations to include a trailing ghost that disappears.

Today we've implemented a new dash mechanic to the game, complete with sound effects, a charge system, and a pickup that speeds up the recharge process.

What kind of platforming game would we be without jumps?Good thing we finished the jump code today 😜
We've got regular jumps, double jumps, and wall jumps! Plus, you can use them all from the...jump!

Hurricane prep and watching the storm stressfully ate up dev time the last couple of days, but we’ll have more Bug Squashers updates starting tomorrow!
Thankfully, we were largely ignored by the storm. The team nearly lost everything in 2022 with Ian, so these are always nervy times for us.

So...yeah. This didn't exactly work well with her work schedule and Alexis had to bail pretty fast for a variety of reasons.
On the bright side, we're learning a TON about Godot through an online course, and will soon be back to work on Bug Squashers (video on that very soon).

Brackey’s Game Jam Updates 🧵- Day 1
It’s been a slow day. Alexis has been working through the Brackey’s Godot tutorial, but due to a very poorly timed illness, she’s low on energy.
Still, she has a player moving, jumping, and animating already, so we have SOME progress!

Starting our first Game Jam today!
We’ve never done one of these, and we don’t know a thing about Godot, but we wanted a game dev challenge.
Build a game in a week? Why not?

Too busy dealing with some technical issues and taking some needed rest ahead of the Brackeys Game Jam starting tomorrow.

Look what was just delivered by UPS!
Bug Squashers isn’t even close to done yet, but holding the physical cartridge for the first time was an incredibly surreal and magical feeling.

Are you ready to encounter the Resource Leech? I’m not sure if Iggy is 😳
And this is just the first boss. What else are we up to? 🤔

For #screenshotSaturday this week, we present…our actual game box and cartridge!
As we plan on an eventual physical release, we figured we’d do it with style. This is just a test run, but we’re so excited about how it turned out 😍
For now, this cart will be our flash cart for hardware tests.
