Slime Salad

What is the budget for this?

Well World 5 is done. I'm really happy with how it turned out too. Starting World 6, and I think it'll go fast. It's the breakfast food world. I was experimenting again with layer transparencies since it worked so good for me in the last 3 worlds. I know the contrast would be too heavy with my palet...

Well if Bena and PJ are doing it I'll do it too. Bena is an amazing gift giver minus that bee book.

takoyaki_kungpao_03.gif Nearly finished with World 5. I tend to move slower this time of year on projects so it's taken a little longer than expected but that's okay. I got the boss done and got one of my co-workers to voice it which was a fun thing to work on. The boss is basically a giant tank en...

takoyaki_kungpao_02.gif Demo 1.2 did really good. Really glad I've taken the time to consider what people's feedback would mean to the game and making said changes. It's made the game significantly stronger. There's a final thing I wanted to do from 1.2 feedback but I'm honestly just ready to move ...

All of my tinkering this week has paid off handsomely. I have to draw and program the animations for the hard mode fish attack, but there's now a charge attack that lets you mow down dudes. Working on it has definitely inspired me to make more enemy types and handle level balance in fun new ways mov...

Nearly finished with my Demo 1.0 updates and will be ready for the next build soon. The tutorial is finished, which I think is pretty solid. I didn't see the point in making it until the demo, but now that it's here it feels like a good companion to the game and does create an avenue to make the gam...

Took a good chunk of August off, getting back into the swing of things with the game now. During that off time, I had a demo tested to see how close it was quality and enjoyment wise. There wound up being a lot of tweaks, so I decided to delay doing NEXT Fest for the February one and then release th...

Takoyaki0138.gif I managed to get custom saves sorted out for the game. Each save will be dedicated to Normal or Hard mode respectively. Demo is in pretty good shape. I've spent a fair amount of time away from the game to I think rebalance it a little more without being super accustomed to hard mod...

Takoyaki0128.gif Worked on something I brainstormed for maybe a month now, this week. It's a new enemy type for Takoyaki. Everything is placeholder for this gif but I think it still shows what happens pretty well. This enemy I am dubbing the tank, it has like 20 hit points. However you can right cl...

Takoyaki0116.gif Finished World 4. It's a short and sweet (pun intended) level with a lot of intensity packed in. I learned a lot more than expected about slice extras in particular for this one. Why some extras can't have a value of 1 I do not know but I didn't argue, moved on and figured out a wo...

Hehe! The eclair animation is satisfying, and I love how big it explodes Thanks! Seeing everything blow up is one of my favorite parts of the game. I love it when the game is like full on manic and you click a ton of stuff and it's just a ton of them happening at once. Takoyaki0112.gif I'm pretty c...

takoyaki_eclair.gif Going a little slower paced now that I got the core demo content done. I finished the eclair today. Hoping to move on to the boss soon-ish. I'm expecting to do a big round of polish to the demo content itself, rebalance some sound effects before demo is released. Nothing as glam...

How are you planning to do DLC? I assume since we know a little more now and that it's an additional short game and not a part of the game itself you'll do the bundle route? I suppose you can do the trick where you check file directory for the DLC RPG file to load it? I've liked the idea of DLC but ...

Very promising start! I feel confident if you stick with it you'll figure it out. There's a number of people in the Discord who have implemented pixel based movement you can consult with and I'm sure they'll ease you in the right direction. Keep up the great work!
