If you're craving a retro 2D adventure while you wait for Mina the Hollower's amazingness, might we recommend Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo? @pockettrap.bsky.social

ANYWAY now that I got my youtube channel back, I've posted the ENTIRE SNOUTBREAKERS EP THERE!!!

I personally think youtube is a terrible way to listen to music, but to casually bring up music you like in a social setting it's very nice! get your friends to try it!

Pixelbutts, who contributed to Snoutbreakers by designing most of the fighters in the first circuit (Champ, Fwiffy, and Coach), released the 2.0 version of their cute kobold tabletop card game a little bit ago. It's really cute! Go give it a look if you like tabletops, kobolds, and shiny things!

Okay, so, There's been a little bit of time since SAGE ended and I've gained a boatload of new followers since SAGE started, so let's talk about SAGE, do a brief postmortem on how the demo went, and talk about the future.

Supercut of the nearly 11-hours long closing stream for @sagexpo.org! Thank you all guests who took part to it, that was tons of fun ✨

As one last goodie, have my personal best developer time for Tonfa. If you've been struggling against her, may you get a little bit of catharsis from it. The rapid attack supers are really, really good. Use them, don't just sit on the meter!

...And trust me, we -are- cooking. We've got lots of extremely cool plans we're laying for the future and I can't wait for you to see them. It's just the reality of self-funded indie games, and we're unable to go all-in on fulltime development at this exact moment.

Snoutbreakers @snoutbreakers.bsky.social · 9d

We've gotten lots of new followers, so to reiterate how things tend to work around here for those that are unfamiliar- everyone who works on this game does so part time, and only every other or every third month. There will be the occasional silence on our end but that doesn't mean we're not cooking

Snoutbreakers @snoutbreakers.bsky.social · 9d

As for what we're working on in the future, even before the demo released we'd already begun working on the fighters in the game's second circuit. We're still in the design phases for most of them, so don't expect to see major new announcements on that front for a while yet.

Snoutbreakers @snoutbreakers.bsky.social · 9d

...As for the GOAT in the room, she's also performed about where I've expected her to be. I don't expect for her to receive super significant changes unless she ends up being a difficulty outlier after designing the fights around her. Right now she's on a difficulty island out in the endgame.

Snoutbreakers @snoutbreakers.bsky.social · 9d

As for things like fighter balance, most of them seem to be really in the ballpark of where I was trying to get them. Fwiffy is a slight outlier- She has some slight readability issues for some players that could be improved and she's doing ever so slightly too much damage but is otherwise fine.

...where there's animal people so we can't simply skate by on things like crude stereotypes to try and illustrate things like character personalities. They've gotta, like actually have personality both in how they talk but also how they move and fight.

Snoutbreakers @snoutbreakers.bsky.social · 9d

As for the fighters themselves? People seem to really love all the characters and their dialogue, which is great! A big part of why I included the VN segments was to help ease tension between fights and to help people understand more about the fighters. Snoutbreakers takes place in a fictional world

Snoutbreakers @snoutbreakers.bsky.social · 9d

Which, like, yeah, it's a problem I've gotta fix but for the most part it seems to have done a pretty good job in teaching people the basic systems the game revolves around, which is superb. I probably won't need to make it mandatory for the next demo but the feedback's been so very useful.

Snoutbreakers @snoutbreakers.bsky.social · 9d

For the most part, things went pretty well with the tutorial! No technical issues there for the most part- A part of why I made it mandatory for this demo was so I could get more hands playing through it to spot shortcomings. Right now the biggest piece of feedback is that it's too wordy.

Snoutbreakers @snoutbreakers.bsky.social · 9d

SAGE was also a goldmine of an opportunity to get to see how people interact with the game and learn its systems- I've been pretty tight lipped with showing off the game until this point so we hadn't actually gotten to see much of how its tutorial played out in practice.
