DEMO BUILD 1.3.0

​Hello,

Steam Next Fest has shown me a lot of things that needed improvement for my game, so I spent a while making this demo as polished as possible for SAGE 2022. This 1.3.0 update has tons of sweeping changes, so give it a look!

CHANGES:

  • Completely revamped most cutscenes. Now the writing is much better, with some new situations.
  • Redid all sprites for Glass Cannon.
  • Redid all sprites for Ashley.
  • Redid all sprites for Alpha Piston (In cutscenes, matches, and running).
  • Made Vince the Fridge less janky (Now he's more consistent when it comes to vulnerability time, and with the desperation attack)
  • Removed "Don't save and exit" prompt (I'd hate it for someone to completely destroy all of their progress after a really hard fight by accidently clicking this)
  • Revamped Main theme
  • Revamped Replay screen
  • Further improved volume control
  • Lots of little UI graphic changes
  • Various other bug fixes and tweaks


Thanks so much!

1.2.0 Update - Big fixes and changes!

Hi,

This was a patch that I meant to get out weeks ago when I was seeing a certain livestreamer having issues with it.

But I was on vacation with no computer access.

Then I got sick immediately after I got home.

And I got a bit busy after that.

But I finally did some fixes, even though it's probably way too late now.

Here they are:


  • Removed reference from punching bag in tutorial (NOTE: There was confusion as to what the bag was. A couple of years ago I made a terrible parody game called Meegah Mem II. The quip was not insulting Mega Man's design, but rather a self deprecative joke about my terrible game. I'm sorry for the confusion.)
  • Added punch hit sounds (Now it's more clear when you did hit the enemy. There is still a block sound when you hit a blocking opponent.)
  • Added attack cues for all bosses (Now all bosses have a cue before they attack. Hopefully this helps make it clear when you can't hit them because they're charging up.)
  • Added dizzy cue for all bosses (Now when an opponent is stunned, a dizzy swirl thing floats above their head and it emits a noise to let you know it's time to wail on them! It also blinks a bit before disappearing. so you know time's almost up.)
  • Various audio fixes (For your ears)
  • Nerfed time to mash to get up significantly (This was a huge issue someone had with the game. I playtested on keyboard mainly, I really didn't see the issue of mashing on controller until I saw a bunch of people try it and quit when they couldn't get up. Sorry!)
  • Fixed cutscene names not displaying correctly (No, Ashley is not Clance.)


I'll be keeping my eyes out for other bug fixes, but it should be more stable now.

Some people had contention with the humor in the cutscenes. I am revising the script for the dialogue in the demo, but that will take a bit, Honestly, I'm a little at odds with it myself because I did so many passes on the other parts of the script that I think they turned out way better. Stay tuned!

Thanks!

Development update coming soon!

Hello there!
I'm on vacation!
And before I went, I made some great progress on Sock It!

When I return, I'll make a development update so all of YOU can see what else I have in store, how far I am, and how much I have left to do.

I'd appreciate it if you could check out my Youtube channel if you're interested in updates, but they'll be here too.

Also: PLEASE leave some feedback somewhere! If you have some legitimate thoughts about the game, positive or negative, I'd love to hear it! My game can only get better if I know what people want.

Anyways, thanks for reading this! I know not many will!

This version of the demo includes rumble! There are rumble settings for left and right punches, blocked punches, counters, and more!

It's never been easier to have a blindfolded run!
