New gimmick that I implemented in Time Foray with great potential for new puzzles.
Also a sneak peek oh a new music track.

Here's another small update in Time Foray. Using shaders in #GameMaker I added a cool effect when you stop the time to bring your future-self to the present. I think it improves the previous effect which was just showing a translucent layer, what do you think?

New gimmick in Time Foray, I tried to implement it before but I didn't quite get it to work, but now I got back to it and made it function as I intended
Also yeah, Macky now has a voice.

This is what playing Time Foray with a mouse looks like now that it's implemented (controlling the crosshair with the mouse, switching characters with the wheel).
I've been remaking the background as well as you can see.

Here's some small visual improvements I made in Time Foray. Now there's idle animations so it feels less rigid, the time cracks have a glowing effect, and Macky herself can glow as well when you hold the time travel button before entering a crack.

Here's a regular Macky I drew as a way to distract myself a bit from working on the game and other stuff that ahs been keeping me busy lately.
To this day I still feel like I'm refining her design.
Macky Bürg, main character of Time Foray.

Now that the Archie Mega Man comics are being re-published, I have to say I loved the covers that consisted on remaking classic boxarts.

I heard you can #PitchYaGame today!

I'm making Time Foray, a 2D pixelart puzzle platformer where you control a girl with the ability to travel back in time, which she can use to cooperate with herself to overcome obstacles creating interesting paradoxes. Demo links in reply, full game will be free.

I went to Youtube Studio and checked this "Inspiration" tab, only to see it's more AI crap. This is utterly dystopic, but hilarious.
List of "inspiration ideas" provided by Youtube for Plunskas' channel: - Speedrunning strategy guide for ime Foray v0.2 - The future of gaming graphics - Exploring paradoxical futures in Time Foray Lore - Top 5 time-bending games to play now Thumbnail for the "Speedrunning strategy guide for ime Foray v0.2" idea. Title reads "Time Frunning Strategy -> v0.2". The screen is filled with a lot of random 2D videogame assets that have nothing to do with Time Foray and make absolutely no sense, with a rainbow colored background. Thumbnail for the "Exploring paradoxical futures in Time Foray Lore" idea. It's another bunch of random videogame assets that look like machines without clear purpose, besides some of them that look like clocks or computers, this time it's laid out in an isometrical perspective using yellow and blue tones. There's two people in it, one of them has their legs backwars, like something out from M.C. Escher's works. Thumbnail for the "Top 5 time-bending games to play now" idea. Title reads "TTOP 5 TIMENDING GAMEFOPLAY NOW". The names of these games are "BITY", "CULEP", "CIREST", "GAIESS", "CRNICE", "MOMET", "PORFINP" and "SIOTINE". None of these games actually exist, not to mention the fact that they are 8 instead of 5. Each one of these games has an image of random stuff with bright colors.

What if Macky was a witch?
Happy Halloween!
Macky Bürg, from Time Foray, as a witch, wearing a big witch black hat, a black robe, a magenta bow, black and magenta stockings and black boots, flying on a magic broom on a cloudy night with full moon.

Based on feedback from the Time Foray demo, now restarting a level is quick and seamless, skipping the title and animations.

After addind the par in the level title, it looked a bit awkward to me, so I changed it in a way that makes more sense and also makes it look cooler.

Everyone losing their marbles over Halo releasing on Play Station, but to me that's nothing compared to when this happened.
Cover of Sonic Advenure 2: Battle for Nintendo Gamecube, featuring Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Dr Eggman, Knuckles, Rouge, a regualr chao, a hero chao and a dark chao. It was the first Sonic game released on a Nintendo console, their direct competitor at that time, right after Sega announced they would leave the console hardware market and become a third party company.

Some people thought that the laser cannons in Time Foray had no collision and tried to run behind them, but they couldn't. So I redesigned them in a way that makes it more obvious. Here's before/after, I think they even look better too, what do you think?

Laser cannon in Time Foray before the update. It's hanging from the ceiling. Laser cannon in Time Foray after the update. It's floor-mounted and it has a shield.

Also if you're observant, you can see that I implemented a new feature that prevents Macky's eyes getting dry.

Time Foray update: I'm currently working on changes based on feedback I got from the demo. Now the par of each level is shown in the beginning and in the pause menu, which has multiple tabs now, and allows you to change the options outside the main menu.

It's important to adjust the parameters when developing a platformer (or any type of game for that matter) so that it feels good to control while keeping close to what you want to achieve.
