Now that the prototype is finished its time for the next phase of the project! We’re adding some fun stuff like better controller support, in-game input remapping, and A NEW CHARACTER! She was revealed a while back but here she is again in case you missed it: NEGATIVE NANCY!

I keep thinking she’s a fish, but I’m guessing that’s not your intention.
I mean, she’s blue and she doesn’t have any visible nostrils so it’s a fair assumption.
Technically she’s a mutant humanoid. Her colonist ancestors fiddled with their genome in order to survive on an inhospitable planet so it’s entirely possible that they spliced in some fish DNA.
Her hair even makes her head shaped like a fish.
Or… a headless bird with its wings down. I dunno.
I’d love to jump in but I’d rather wait until you have a Steam presence for this game, that is if you’re planning to release it on Steam.
@PsychoJosh Yeah, I definitely want to get the game on Steam. Not sure if I should put it on Greenlight now or wait for Direct…
So this is gonna be like a newish psychic force?
I could get into that. Keep working on it, game looks neat.
@Pertho The basic premise of always airborne, never touching the ground is similar. I’ve never actually played Psychic Force so it hasn’t influenced the game design at all.
Do you have any expertise with that game?
I havent touched psychic force in years. It was 2 player though. You’re game is angling yo have more than 2 characters on screen.
Yeah were gonna try 4 players. Its gonna be wild =)
Working on the character select screen…
Oh yeah a new build went out. Added combo damage scaling and infinite prevention system. Get it on itch or gumroad.
Were getting ready to put it on Steam and maybe do a kickstarter.
If you run a kickstarter I hope you add VO and make Cardinal sound like a surfer.
Yes, these characters absolutely need VO. We don’t have a sound department atm so crowdfunding would definitely help in that regard.
I’ve been contacted by a few different composers/sound designers over the past month. I think we are close to making a final pick. I’ll keep yall posted…
WTF you can’t upload .gifs to Indiegogo? FUK OTTA HERE!
So during my research, I decided to take a look back at the Beast’s Fury campaign. It’s astounding how much money they were able to raise and how poorly they managed it. A cautionary tale to be sure…
Our Code Wizard @JoeStrout is integrating Rewired advanced input system. Better gamepad support along with in-game button config is coming!
Hey here’s a first pass on the kickstarter vid
