A very small preview. Working on the first Snoutbreakers enemy to have their own custom shader but right now the results aren't entirely photogenic.

Stuck in BK mode in a group archipelago randomizer but it's all good because I get to watch a friend struggle through a hell graveyard in dark souls 3 enemy randomizer. This random dude floating motionless against the sky has big 'YOU CAN DO IT' 'BELIEVE IN YOURSELF' motivational poster energy.

As one last goodie, have my personal best developer time for Tonfa. If you've been struggling against her, may you get a little bit of catharsis from it. The rapid attack supers are really, really good. Use them, don't just sit on the meter!

As for what we're working on in the future, even before the demo released we'd already begun working on the fighters in the game's second circuit. We're still in the design phases for most of them, so don't expect to see major new announcements on that front for a while yet.

...As for the GOAT in the room, she's also performed about where I've expected her to be. I don't expect for her to receive super significant changes unless she ends up being a difficulty outlier after designing the fights around her. Right now she's on a difficulty island out in the endgame.

As for things like fighter balance, most of them seem to be really in the ballpark of where I was trying to get them. Fwiffy is a slight outlier- She has some slight readability issues for some players that could be improved and she's doing ever so slightly too much damage but is otherwise fine.

...where there's animal people so we can't simply skate by on things like crude stereotypes to try and illustrate things like character personalities. They've gotta, like actually have personality both in how they talk but also how they move and fight.

As for the fighters themselves? People seem to really love all the characters and their dialogue, which is great! A big part of why I included the VN segments was to help ease tension between fights and to help people understand more about the fighters. Snoutbreakers takes place in a fictional world

Okay, so, There's been a little bit of time since SAGE ended and I've gained a boatload of new followers since SAGE started, so let's talk about SAGE, do a brief postmortem on how the demo went, and talk about the future.

This week's #screenshotsaturday comes a day early. Happy friday! One week from now, SAGE2025 starts... and Snoutbreakers will be there! Fight the first three opponents in the game's lightweight tournament plus a late-game extra for genre vets in the Snoutbreakers SAGE2025 demo on Sept 19th!

For today's #screenshotsaturday, a quick look around Snoutbreaker's main menus. Since last time I've shown it off, i've added a new, simple credits menu
It's been quiet here lately because we've been -very- busy working on the game. More announcements to come VERY soon! #gamedev #gamemaker

Spelled a word wrong? No, imagine spending CPU time and power so that your browser can gaslight you about words you spelled right. Glad I saw this thread because it explains my browser suddenly spitting garbage like this at me and how to turn it off.
AI is utter dogshit.

Major milestone reached today. It's not ready to be released yet, but it's so much more-there-than-not-now it feels kinda surreal.

As of recently I've been too busy with my nose to the grindstone to make any #screenshotsaturday posts, so have a late little glimpse at some of Tonfa's dialogue. More exciting things to share very soon, I promise! #gamemaker #gamedev

For today's #gamedev #screenshotsaturday I don't have anything fancy I'd like to show off, but I do have a recent musical addition for y'all to have a listen to. I've picked up a recent habit of letting the game idle on the title screen just to let the music play in the background while I work.

A little late on this week's #screenshotsaturday but that's okay. This past week was spent on adding in more variety to the fighting arena backgrounds to help the different circuits (and tutorial) stand apart from each other.

For today's Snoutbreakers #screenshotsaturday , a dramatic Tonfa clip to demonstrate a new mechanic: being Wounded (blue HP bar)
Attacks from weapons or things like horns aren't something that you can block freely- Doing so will convert a portion of your health into a Wound that depletes over time.

Two and a half hours of pure paranoia as everyone is trying to kill me but it turns out that sometimes all you need to fight off five assailants in departures is a knife and a flash. I just wanted to defend criminals but couldn't go five minutes without someone injecting me with something or other

For today's #screenshotsaturday , a demonstration using debug tools of a new small cosmetic detail added to Tonfa's downed animation. Wonder how much fixing that kind of damage would cost?
