I don't consider myself a very witty person, so my games tend to be light on jokes, but i do really enjoy this one conversation where Lady tries to get along with the game's main antagonist.

I' ve been receiving some criticism on #thelegallydistinct where the rope jump was said to be pretty unintuitive to use.

It' s a bit tricky to fix as you are meant to be able to jump and drop easily but i' ve been changing it so that jumping uses a double press instead of the up key.

terrible idea, instead of electrum being worth 5 silver, they are a constantly fluctuating currency that almost nobody use but a few weird people are constantly trying to convince you that they will be worth a fortune one day and that you should buy into them.

AKA, Electrum are crypto.

Here is my current progress on the ashen highland and some new ennemies.

As you can see, my workflow tend to consist in starting with a pre-existing mob and slowly edit them into the new one.

since ive been reworking the prologue, ive also made some tweaks to its boss fight, the Chieftain.

Its a fairly complex fight for the early game but Jupe is quite overpowered in the prologue

I worked with my brother on this gamejam game some time ago, where you gotta defend your home from the governement using mutant plants. Its pretty simple and short so you should give it a shot.

Just uploaded a new demo for #thelegallydistinct, featuring a new stage, new bosses, and a bunch of small improvements to the experience.

Almost done with Mumfair fight, only got the ending to do.

His second phase trigger at 40% health rather than 60 like other bosses since he becomes so much harder to hit with the clones.

Okay, currently working on the second secret boss for the knight campaign.

hes the father of Dunmo Dufric, the campaign main antagonist and is locked up in the basement of the mansion.

I' m done with stage 5 on #thelegallydistinct so now im seeing what i can do to improve the credit museum.

I wanted something a bit more dynamic than just a scroll at the end of the game, but this still need a lot of work.

Couldn't help but think about this one gag from Ribbit during the whole stream

Almost done with sweet cream. Just got some balancing left.

Mouse issues didnt get fixed with another mouse, so it might be a game maker issue. Not sure what to do from here

It can be hard to talk to other gamedevs, so to get to know each other, let's talk about our monsters, races, and other blorbos.

and if you don't know what to say, just post a gouda

Making some progress on the sweet Cream fight and cutscene, through there still a lot of stuff to fix up.

Mostly need to give her attack sprites and fix up all the issues.

Been making some progress on the mansion level. This first section takes place outside and mostly involve combat but the rest of the level takes you inside the mansion and features more stage hazard and platforming.

Ive also been adjusting the first secret boss, which was a tad too frustrating.

Funny enough, his moveset didn't change. I just added the ability to bounce on his head and land charged attacks, then he became way more manageable.

This one isn't new but it's a cool fight. This game overall serves as a nice opportunity to test out new mechanics since i dont have to provide as much art or logic to it.

Running a blank on blood&flames, so ill go work on my side project for a bit.

For a comedy game, its really not all that funny so maybe ill try adding some background gags as well as reworking the hub.
