Still early in development, but I am progressing faster. I have an endless runner with cute characters and multiple game modes.

The game mode here is the endless ice cream mode. Collect ice cream or your ice cream melts. Run out, and it's game over. Since I took this video, I added a score UI. There will be some score pickups.

I am mostly focused on functionality for an alpha showing/party next week.

I also had to make an injured animation. Now the characters get hurt when they hit an obstacle. Also, the game ends.

I have a possible launch party soon, so I ended up stopping work on new stuff. The cat is not close to being finished. That is why she is not facing the camera. I am working on making sure what I have is 100% working in the game build. Once done, I will be back to new characters and fun promo.

I have a feeling that none of my characters will end up with shoes. That may end up as part of the style. I do have one version of Kit that has some painted on shoes, but I may change them.

For some reason, her shirt did not import. She will have it in future posts. I just really wanted to finally get her out in the wild.

I really hope everyone likes her. I wanted to make an adorable Dragon to bring a smile to people. Although this is my full-time job for income, my primary goal is to bring smiles to everyone.

Your game looks like it is coming along nicely.

I also want to make short animations, but I need to justify the time it takes to make them. As the previous post mentioned, Smile Run is only part of the universe. All of the characters will be used in many different projects. I want them to bring so many smiles to people.

Thank you for this. I am struggling just trying to get updates noticed. It's hard, but I keep working every day.

There are no obstacles to jump over. That is a big part of the forest environment. I am trying to make each environment unique. Sky is the heavy platforming.

Also, all of the platforms have clouds. Not all of them had clouds as you can see in the first picture. I am working on the third obstacle that would be placed on top of the platforms to dodge. This would give some nice variety.

Obstacles? You didn't think it would be that easy did you.
