Peng Wars will offer much more customization for players in the upcoming 1.3 update!

Change the icon on your save file to suit your tastes. Or, decorate your room at the Peng Base and make it yours!

Looking at the past is valuable, but the reason it's valuable is because it helps us think of new and creative responses to the future by seeing what worked before.

The way genAI works, it erases the past by making it much harder to find useful information online. It rehashes without innovating.

FlowerSnek @flowersnek.bsky.social · 10d

Make it Mario Party 9 and you've got a deal.

FlowerSnek @flowersnek.bsky.social · 10d

I'll be eager to see what you're working on!

FlowerSnek @flowersnek.bsky.social · 14d

And here's Bard Peng in the guide menu. We'll have to see what it evolves into!

#PengWars #gamedev #indiedev #GodotEngine #screenshotsaturday

An image of Bard Peng in the guide menu of Peng Wars. Its description reads, "A graceful Peng who'd rather play music and hide away from the struggles of the world than do battle with the seals. Has refused to comment on allegations of being spoony. Long-ranged attacks always weaken Glacial enemies."

FlowerSnek @flowersnek.bsky.social · 14d

In addition to new final forms, Peng Wars's upcoming 1.3 update will feature all-new Pengs to collect!

Bard Peng weakens Glacial enemies for a long time from range! But if it gets hit, it has a tendency to hide...

Personally, it's not an option I usually associate with right-clicking. I'd probably get used to it fast and find it convenient if it was an option, though.

FlowerSnek @flowersnek.bsky.social · 21d

Alchemy Assault is a new minigame coming in Peng Wars's in-development 1.3 update!

Help Alchemist Peng defend the lab by chucking potions at the seals. Mix and match ingredients for a powerful combination!

Meet King Krab — a new enemy who'll be appearing in Peng Wars's 1.2 update, coming August 23!

This threatening Spiky enemy attacks from long range while countering attacks at melee-

Whoa! What's that new Peng charging right at it?!

An image of King Krab in the enemy guide of Peng Wars. Its description reads, "Usurper of the Carcinos Dynasty who claims to have blue blood. (Not technically lying!) Anyone who tries to bring his treachery to light, or questions why he's not an Aquatic enemy, can count on meeting the business ends of his claws."

In Peng Wars's upcoming 1.2 update, the Special Stages Challenge levels will make you play under special restrictions!

These levels will force you to use a specific lineup. Sometimes, you can even double up on Pengs!
