I can't imagine ever making something other than a solo/micro indie game because I imagine stuff like this would be vetoed immediately, but I love it

Where are we now? Sam takes the lead in a world where trees have faces.

This next area is still very much a work in progress but I wanted to show how different the game looks from the original version

Using my daughter's monster designs as the basis for pixel critters is my favorite thing in the world right now

This section of the game was originally written as a story for Hank, but he already has so much going on and Sam deserves more spotlight. I've rewritten the plot for this set of missions to tell a story of her finding joy and learning to love herself.

Love the doodle-critters.
If that's the same area as the original, it's unrecognisable!

Writing bestiary entries for the Mad World enemies, all of these are ones my daughter drew except for the boss. Having fun just being full silly for this zone!

I realize that not everyone will want to hold a Run button all the time to move faster on maps, so I added an option to the Settings menu to let you set default move speed.

This is such a good idea, can't wait to see it in action.

Thanks, I want to make the game as accessible as possible and part of that is allowing players to play with fewer buttons and still have the full experience.

Memories of another world show up as ghosts throughout the game; I'm going back to earlier parts to add some in too.

Making some structural changes. Players were going to have whole in-game TV shows they could watch but this ended up being a huge amount of work for something most players could miss. Instead, select episodes play during side stories.

Leland's restaurant inside of Hotel Hopland. Wood's back on the menu!

This is what a sequel to C. Kane would look like

Also I think I want to make C. Kane 2: C. Jane after Walthros is done.

The hotel in this zone is basically its main town. Everyone who matters is here. OR ARE THEY
