Another old feature that got scrapped: keys. Trying to design levels around carrying keys just really never worked out.

This was the first fully fleshed out level I designed. A bit basic, but it helped a lot seeing how levels would flow, what worked, what didn't, etc.

None of this made it to the final build, sadly

Oh yeah, we're nearly at 1,000 wishlists on Steam! Thank you so much for supporting us so far. Can we hit that by the end of the year?

I'm always trying to find new uses for each of Volt's abilities. The ground pound wasn't getting enough love, so these pipes were a way to give it more function

Kinda! Sonic wasn't what I had in mind when I first started making the game if I'm honest

This is one of my favorite mechanics I've added to the game. Get stuck in the snowball and you're safe from fire!

Of course things have improved a lot since I created first created that mechanic.

Just working on more game mechanics. And a bit of puzzle design as well. Learning the ins and outs of how this game works.

And now more sprite work. The spin animation really needed work, but the I still love the jump animation. This is the day things started clicking for this game. Going from silly project to a real game

"Hey what happened to the sprites you were working on?"

Yeah so they weren't scrapped. I just didn't want people confused why the sprites weren't finished while playtesting, so I created temp art.

Also wall jumping!

This was a fun enemy to work on, though not much else to report here.

After months, this is when I finally decided to give her real sprites! She'd still go through some updates as we know, but it's close to what we have now
