In January 2021, we were still prototyping our first ideas for the game. We knew we wanted the player to be decorated with graphics, which were originally called 'Decals' before changing to the current 'Stamps' naming.
This video is one of our first-ever tests where placing graphics on Stuffy was possible!
Over time, a lot of things have changed. This method of placing graphics is no longer used, and the player is now customized in the Wardrobe scene instead.
This early and...

EDIT (May 11, 2025): Patreon is having an issue where it won't support the video (even after two reuploads and a new file type), so we've just linked it as an unlisted YouTube video!
We've recently started working on the double jump feature + setting, and have even expanded the previously revealed 'global' camera controls!
You can now adjust more default camera properties, like offset, zoom, pitch, til...

We're excited to announce that we've started development for the first proper testing phase of the game! Later this year (though sooner than you might think), we'll be rolling out invites for the Restitched: Wardrobe Test.
This first testing phase will serve as a trial for future testing opportunities while allowing us to improve the player customization experience.
The Wardrobe is one of the main pillars of Restitched, alongside level cre...

Did you know that in late 2021, we were preparing a plush pillow fort environment that would be used for the game's default/blank level editor background?
This was conceptualized and modeled by our 2D/3D Artist, Carter.
We didn't get much further than this (only adding some string lights and background furniture) before deciding to ditch the idea. Instead, we felt it more fitting to have a cons...

We'd like you to gather some feedback on an important question in the gaming community:

Welcome back to another Restitched: Recapped! development post!
It's been a calmer month for us, as our team was fairly busy with personal life in recent weeks. For those new here: we're a team of hobbyist developers doing this in our spare time... and some months are just more productive than others! Don't worry. We've still made plenty of nifty new assets, features, and improvements, so let's check them out!

In the past, we asked you all to help us brainstorm gameplay gimmick ideas. Using your feedback we could then decide which ideas to pursue and prioritize. One idea we heard a lot that seemed like a no-brainer was the ability to wall jump!
This month, we've begun prototyping such a feature. It's not part of Stuffy's moveset but instead is tied to a specific Building Material.
How does it work?
The idea is to stylize a special Building Material to look like ...

In the past week, we've added a new Level Setting that will allow creators to set the default tilt of their gameplay cameras. This gets overridden by entering manual camera zones.
Tilting the gameplay camera can drastically change the look of levels! Whether you're going for 2D, isometric, or top-down style, it adds just a bit more handy customization. We also plan to add more default camera settings, including offset and field of view (FoV).

As you've probably seen in our recent screenshots and the official trailer, one of our basic enemy types is the Spider!
Early in their conceptualization, we explored different looks for them. However, we ultimately chose to go for a more crafty look. We felt the button eyes made it look more threatening, whereas the normal eyes made it look friendly and a bit too cute.

How do you feel about the idea of a playable Story Mode map?
This would likely be in isometric 3D, with the possibility of Stuffy being playable or able to move linearly between level posts. This is common in games like Mario, Kirby, etc.
Our idea is to offer a more interesting way to navigate story content, rather than using a basic list of levels in the UI. Through this approach, we'd be able to immerse the player in the story locat...

Using the same tune with different instruments represents some of the many themes and locations Stuffy is expected to see throughout the game's story levels and usable assets.
Additionally, we've repurposed the most memorable tones ...

As we head into 2025, we have quite a lot of work cut out for us! There are many important things to take care of, and as hobbyist developers our resources and time are limited.
Because of this, we are making a few adjustments to our Patreon service for this new year. This will help us to better focus on the direct development of Restitched.

While we were working on the second trailer, we took nearly 100 new screenshots from the levels shown! These were taken from an even earlier build than the one our footage was captured in.
Some of these screenshots are currently unused, but show areas of the levels not clearly seen before.
We've also included a screenshot from when we first started blocking out the attic chess scene from the trailer!

The opening moments are largely the same, and the overall structure ha...

This video compares bits of the game's introductory cutscene to an early 2D storyboard animation. Even though a large part of the animation was changed drastically in its final form, the original pieces of inspiration still remain. The animators have stayed surprisingly faithful to the early references!

Back in 2020 when the game was being conceptualized, we mocked up several UI ideas for various UI and features. We knew we wanted a browsable in-game Steam Workshop menu, but arranging it was always a challenge at the start.
Over time, things fell into place. The current menu style better balances what the player needs and what's easily possible for us to develop using Unity and Steam SDK's limitations:
