patreon devlog update 27: what the heck is that (Patreon)

so this week on the update for zap&andy we have more touchups for the final part of the second chapter. After the boys notice that dab doesn't want at all for them to fool around with a particular lock in his lair they decide to double the efforts in getting it open. The dream demon notices this and decides that it's too much of a nuisance having them running around in his lair freely.

so previously we had dab transform zap and andy into toys: 

so andy would be turned into one of those monkeys with cymbals, and zap into one of those baby dolls that blows bubbles and dribble like a real baby. Andy would've had to reach a remote in dab's possession so zap would be able to blow a bubble so big it would turn into a cherub.

in the end we decided to scrap this idea because the logical connection to have zap blow spit bubbles to produce a cherub was a bit weird, and we preferred to show clearly that the characters were immobilized but still able to act. So now dab still turns them into toys, but it's not a real real transformation:

so now dab traps zap into a immobilizing bear plush and andy into the spring of a jack in the box. The puzzle now becomes at the same time more and less complicated.

andy can still wobble around on his spring

and this will make him able to take a bite out of zap's halo, and attempt to create a cherub of his own out of it, the result altho won't be as expected:

what andy will be able to create is a gremlin,  a creature composed of pure chaos and annoyance. You won't be able to control him directly as you do with the cherub , but he'll listen to andy's commands. He's the key to enrage dab and lure him near the final lock so he can open it for you. 

anyways, that's it for this week! more to come! see you later peeps!
