Looking for vector artist(s) to draw MORE OUTFITS!
Hey there,
I'm looking for someone who could draw more outfits for Bacon May Die. The main requirement would be to fit existing style (outlines, colors, size, etc), which I find to be a tricky task despite art being relatively simple. Should also be vector art, so I could edit it easily if needed. Ability to think of new items would be a huge plus! This is a paid gig.
Here's a SVG template with item examples if you'd like to play around and draw something for the pig: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gks82fg797b46wf/baconmaydie_item_template.svg
Send me your portfolios to hi@snoutup.com
Cheers!

Bacon May Die is out!
Hello there,
Bacon May Die is finally out of the pan in a form of a completely FREE release! Hope it's crispy enough for you to have some fun smashing a bunch of weird enemies around!
You can read about my reasons for releasing game this way in a recent Steam post. In short, it would be too complicated and time consuming to substantially improve it for a premium launch and I'd rather focus on making a proper Bacon May Die sequel later. Gonna need your feedback for that!
Now, what's in store for this release? It all depends on how much time I can find to work on it, but here are a few things I have in mind for the future.
Bug fixes and balance tweaks depending on feedback
Fixing hitboxes of a few annoying hard-to-hit enemies (hedgehogs, bats)
not sure if anyone can see this, but I hope you can! So, here's the thing.. After delaying Bacon May Die for ages I came to a conclusion that I'd like to release it in the current state for free. There are a few reasons for it...
No time to work on it due to other projects
Bacon May Die code is old and terrifies me
No confidence if players like its control scheme
However, I realize that this game can be pretty cool and one day I would like to maybe start working on a sequel... So, a free release would be beneficial, since I would get plenty of feedback on controls and gameplay as well as some audience for the next game.
Even the free release would likely to get some achievements, bug fixes and maybe Steam Workshop integration for outfits if I'll find time for that.
Alternatively, I can slap a $1-2 price tag, mostly so I could add Trading Cards (free games can't have them), but that might greatly impact potential audience reach.
What year is this? Good news is that game is still alive, but bad news is that, obviously, it is not getting closer to actual release very fast. But we'll get there, I promise!
This update, while doesn't introduce any significant content additions, is important, because I developed a story framework (quests, traveling between areas, better controlled enemy spawns) I would like for you to test!
So, a few new major changes:
Short story mode to test!
New item selection UI which doesn't require "ENTER" or "SPACE" presses
Experimental power move usage
A lot of smaller changes and improvements
Current power move usage: HOLD up and press LEFT, DOWN or UP (again) to use a special attack. I find it better than previous combo-based system, but this one is too slow and clunky for my taste, so I will try to think of something else to use.
Story mode doesn't have saving yet, but it's very short and easy to finish.
New item selection isn't available with medic. pet or pilot yet.
Hopefully, the gap between updates will get much shorter now!

Your feeedback helps me move forward, so keep it coming!

Beta Update 0.0.0.5
We're moving forward again! Introducing... power moves! Or spells, or combos. I'm not sure how to call them yet, but I added them to the game already. Looking forward to hearing from beta testers what they think about this new feature and how could I improve the combo sequences or spell casting!
To put it nicely in a list...
Spell system: input a combo, get a spell
Spells use the same ammo pool as ranged weapons
Ammo now regenerates while melee fighting & killing enemies
New enemy experiment: spider
Player can't dash through enemies anymore (only ground roll dodges)
Fixed few roll-related movement glitches
Feedback button opens Steam community page
XP bar is now correctly centered after closing outfit menu (huge)
Spells
Air strike: UP, UP, UP, LEFT or RIGHT
Sword throw: LEFT, LEFT, HOLD LEFT or RIGHT, RIGHT, HOLD RIGHT
Spike wall: UP, UP, LEFT or RIGHT, DOWN
Fart cloud: HOLD UP, press BACK (opposite direction) & HOLD
Combo sequences, spell behavior and cost will likely change! If you have a crazy idea for a spell - post suggestion in forums!
