Update 14/10/21
We have been working on some big changes to Smash Crates for the past week but before we get those I wanted to quickly run through what has already been implemented.
Completed:
- Player controllers (movement etc)
- Full controller support (xbox, playstation)
- Procedural environments
- Game State systems
- Player UI
- 4 map backgrounds
- Main Menu systems
As the game currently stands it is completely playable and I have been able to get some great feedback from play testers.
Recent Updates:
- Added Mega Crate power up where you increase in size and become a huge destructive machine.
- Added Rocket booster power up, gain the ability of flight and fry your opponents with your rockets flames.
- Built Audio manager to keep track of and control all the games audio components.
- Updated procedural build system to include power up crates, embedded into the environment.
Exciting Stuff!
See you all next time!

Welcome to Smash Crates
Welcome
Hey! Welcome to the Smash Crates Dev log. Here I will be adding updates on what is happening with the development of Smash Crates. But first I wanted to talk a little bit about the Fat Alien Cat team. We are a small team of 2 Developers working part-time, my partner is the creative eye behind the art of Fat Alien Cat and I am the programmer/designer. We are both currently working full time in the Australian Visual Effects Industry but have always dreamed of setting up our own game studio, with the goal of creating games we are passionate about and are crazy fun to play.
Our goal with Smash Crates is to create a unique party game experience where players of all skill levels and partake and enjoy. Taking inspiration from games like “Duck Game” and “Stick Fighters” we aim to create an experience that people can keep coming back to and play with friends locally or online with Steam remote play features.
