In this Trixel Diary we'll be looking into how Restitched's Lead Programmer Michael works on the game. For those that are unaware, Michael is considered legally blind, but doesn't let this get in the way of what he wants to accomplish. Michael faces many challenges that some may not have even considered. It is at his request that we'll be taking a dive into how he tackles his workflow.
The rest of this Dev Diary is written personally by Michael, with some minor edits by the Dev Diary wr...

Without further ado, let's dive in.
In an incredibly exciting development, our Lead Programmer Michael underwent two surgeries this month for his Retinitis-Pigmentosa - the first on March 20th and the sec...

Game development is a journey, and some ideas and concepts come and go. Decisions are made, ideas are changed - and, as is often the case, some content is left on the cutting room floor.
In this edition of From The Vault, we'll be looking at a couple of our cut worlds.
Untitled French Bakery Theme
We've touched upon the French Bakery theme before, in March 2022's Recapped! post. This is a whole world that we decided to cut from the main game to streamline the Story. It was...

Restitched: Recapped | March 2023
Of course, we're currently hard at work putting together the next edition of Restitched: Recapped! So far, this entry contains new exciting shader work on Stuffy and backgrounds, new animation work, new concepts and implementations (such as the pause screen below!), and the block-out of ...

March's screenshot brings another quick scene put together from a recent development branch!
This time we've made small adjustments to the environment. We always like to go back and tweak old work using new techniques and assets so that Stuffy's surroundings are nice and polished!
This simple scene takes place at the far-left edge of the Farm background. You can see Props like the Soil Bag, Garden Spade, Traffic Cone, and Sack of Soil. We've even added a few Stamps to make a...

The latest community poll asked for one of four topics that you'd like to see in advance of March's Restitched: Recapped! post. The largest poll choice was the 'Mega Stuffy' glitch!
Here's a screenshot of the wonderful mishap that caused Stuffy to become a tired giant. This was caused by testing animations during playtime, which somehow broke Stuffy's orientation and default size.

We're still a while away from the next Recapped! post (April 3, 2023), but we thought it would be fun to reveal a piece of it early based on your interest!
Which of these options sounds most appealing to you? The winning choice will be revealed via screenshot(s) ahead of next month's Restitched: Recapped! post.

When we were in the early stages of Restitched conception, and just after drafting up our concepts for Stuffy, our designers had a field day coming up with outfit ideas. The 2D sketches below were completed by former team artist Michael Wright, and they're still being used today!
We showcased some of these concepts in our Dev Diary, 'Cosmetics Creation', but these didn't quite make the cut for that post. While this is by no means all of them, this does offer an insight into some of the ...

This month's screenshot is of a quick platformer scene put together for the game's attic theme. When Stuffy's obvious path is blocked, the player must look for another way across!
With a large box blocking the gap, Stuffy will need to climb the old TV, leap across to the wooden ledge, and either shimmy past the toilet paper rolls or push them away.
Though this scene is light on decoration, it's one of many we put together to test the level editor's progress, Stuffy's gameplay, etc...

This month's poll will more directly influence the game! As we work to refine the Settings Panel menus, our team has been divided on whether or not to keep the brown color swatches in the palette.
We feel that removing the brown color swatches will free up vertical space, further condensing the UI for faster browsing. Brown can still be achieved by changing the hue, saturation, and brightness s...

As we were gearing up for the Reveal Trailer, we took many screenshots of the game for promotional content (the website, the Steam storefront, the Press Kit, etc). With the number of screenshots taken, there were bound to be many that didn't get picked - eighteen, in fact. While we are still saving some, here are six that didn't make the cut.
Some of these may have popped up around the web or in our Discord server, and some of them are very similar to the versions that...

Welcome back to yet another Dev Diary! This time we’ll be shedding light on the animations of Restitched, and the lovely animators behind them.
Good animation is often the cornerstone of enjoyable gameplay. We don't always realize it, but the way we perceive movement is changed by the quality and responsiveness of an animation. This is no different in Restitched, so it's a huge reason why we're always going back and reiterating our work.
When we first entered Restitched, ma...

Hello all!
You may have noticed that the schedule hasn't quite been stuck to for this month. For starters, the Asset Preview went live on the 4th instead of the 9th, and Community Poll and Dev Diary have not yet been published.
We can only apologise for this turn of events. The Asset Preview was simply a scheduling error, but this has made the gap between posts seem even longer.
The Dev Diary for this month is an exciting one as we take a slightly different approach to writi...
