I've joined up with tinyBuild Games to expand HakJak Studios into a 5 person team and do a complete, official reboot of Bossa Studio's original prototype from 2019. This is a fully re-imagined, re-designed, re-built-from-the-ground-up game!
Our ambitious goal: create something that feels a bit like GTA meets Goat Simulator, mixed with roguelites such as Hades--but with pigeons! Hopefully this results in something totally weird and wonderful.
Anyways--I'm super excited and just wanted to share the news with everyone that enjoyed Guts and Glory. Believe it or not, Pigeon Sim is going to be even crazier and weirder--and have much better controls ;)
I hope you'll check it out and help me spread the word.

Guts and Glory is 67% off & Introducing Kill It With Fire!
Hello everyone!
The summer heat is on, and we at tinyBuild wanted to do something to brighten up your day. Today, Guts & Glory is going on a weeklong sale at 67% off.
We’ve been doing lots of interesting things recently, and I wanted to take the opportunity to highlight some of the things we’re working on.
Specifically, on August 13 (that’s next week!) we are launching Kill It With Fire - a physics comedy game about exterminating spiders and burning down your house in the process. It’s a very lighthearted game the alphas of which have had 90%+ ratings on Steam.
The game is on Pre-Order that allows you to save 10%, or you can simply Wishlist it! We greatly appreciate it.
I'm giving away some sexy new hardware from SteelSeries!
Just leave a comment here with a link to one of your favorite Workshop Levels for Guts and Glory and you'll automatically be entered for a chance to win!
Hardware bundle includes the SteelSeries:
Apex M750 Keyboard
Rival 310 Mouse

QcK Prism RGB Mousepad

GameSense Lighting FX
I just added the latest GameSense lighting features to Guts and Glory.
If you're a CS:GO or Dota 2 player with any SteelSeries RGB hardware, then you're probably familiar with this already. GameSense lighting FX allows specific hardware components to be used as indicators for in-game events, such as health or warnings.
In G&G, for example, lights will change gradually from green to red as your health declines. Not sure if your character can take one more arrow? GameSense will give you a good idea.
The pic above shows a few of the other events shown by the lighting FX, but you can adjust these behaviors to your liking inside the GameSense app.
Happy Holidays!
EDIT: Feel free to leave the name of the level or other comments with the link to help others discover new content! It doesn't have to be a plain URL :)

AlienFX + patch
AlienFX
The fine folks over at Alienware hooked me up with this awesome laptop so I can build games anywhere! In return I've added AlienFX lighting to Guts and Glory and expanded their SDK for other Unity devs. (I'll post a link to the Unity stuff on my blog, etc. later this week, for those interested.)
If you're gaming with an Alienware computer/accessories it will react to different things in the game, like checkpoints and police sirens. Just a fun little bonus feature.

Fixed Hat Counter
Fixed Steam Achievements glitches
Fixed the 100% Completion Reward in the Halls of Glory (appears in yellow glow area when 30 Achievements are unlocked).
