Tough Bippy & Wan Wan TV (Patreon)
Content
Our core focus has of course been Tough Bippy where we are starting to get some additional assistance with artwork and clean up to speed up the game's development.
Featured above is one of the bosses in the game (drawn by the very talented MANGNETO!) - a coyote with an endless supply of heavy weapons hidden beneath his jacket. We'll be showing off more enemies and bosses down the line.
Tough Bippy we've re-coded from the ground up so not only does it perform much better but movement, controls, and camera have all been greatly adjusted. We're hoping to get a demo out by the end of the year that we can post here for you guys to give feedback on how it feels to control. There's still quite a bit we'll need to implement before that point but that leads us to our final discussion...
We're soon going to begin streaming our work on Tough Bippy for people to watch and alongside those streams will be the launch of Wan Wan TV! Mixed together with colorful bumpers - Wan Wan TV is a virtual television channel that will be running off to the side during game dev streams for people to enjoy as we work. If you're a fan of old promotional gaming VHSes then you'll be thrilled with the programming block lined up! As soon as we finish up some final assets we'll be announcing our planned schedule for game development streams.
Thanks again for everyone's patience - we've been trying to currently figure out moving to a much cheaper location so that we can really prioritize just working on Tough Bippy and budgeting towards it exclusively. Stay tuned for further announcements on game development streams and be sure to keep your eyes peeled for a Tough Bippy movement test demo before the end of the year.
