Hey all! This will be a short post.
Here's the roadmap for the coming months.
Month --- Plan
Park (?)
Tram
Trying some weird levels, at least thematically. Honestly not sure if these levels will make it into the final levels because they're not fun places for gameplay. Cool to ...
2022-05-15 16:58:17 +0000 UTC View PostDon't worry, there will still be the May 15 progress log.
I looked back at the previous December update schedule, and noticed this wording.
Game release every three (3) months. (Mar, Jun, Sept, Dec)
Wait, that's not clear. A game update is at the end of the month like usual, which meant "March release" is actually Mar 31. That's practically April. Whoops.
To avoid confusion, the next update release will be on May 31 instead. ...

Here's the winner of the Discord vote!
This one was hard since I haven't drawn wolf in non-pixel form, and I still don't think he looks like the one in-game. Needs more of the neck fluff and rabbit ears.
Also experimented a bit with Mox's look, notably with bigger ears and an actual side-profile.<...

So you know how Koubold has an interaction when pressing down? Wolf has one too now.
This interact animation only shows up when Mox is fully clothed. Other interact animations show a different one. (it's sauce)
Oh, and this hug animation might change on release, since I'd like her to do a tippy-tap penguin waddle before...

Woof Saucy Anim
Huzzah, saucy is now done!
So fun fact, it was difficult to make poses that make sense because he was so big. Definitely one of the harder animations.
I really wanted to incorporate the mop into the poses. Sadly, there aren't a lot of sauce references that had a mop, so had to improvise. 2022-03-01 07:52:26 +0000 UTC View Post
Hungry Koubold
Koubold now finally gets something to eat, and he'll give something in return.
Umbrella and Noodle Shenanigans
The umbrella and noodle level is coming along nicely. Not much to...

Huzzah, he moves!
The grapple art is still unfinished, but super happy with the progress on him! Not much to say, since his planned behavior was already said in the previous log.

Wolf Brain
Huzzah, he has brain! Here's how he thinks:
He's neutral and won't react unless provoked. He'll idly walk around, inspect something, or wave at Mox. If he gets hit, he tries real hard to calm himself.
It takes a couple of hits before he becomes angry, which starts grapple.

The first dev-cycle is almost done!
I haven't been able to look at Discord as often as I'd like. Luckily it's the end of the dev-cycle, so a new update schedule.

It's time to vote for the July Update!
We're almost done adding creatures. After the Umbrella, there are four more creatures left to add.

Moxie's icon will have gravity and 'slide' into one of...

2021-01-30 08:24:50 +0000 UTC View PostTime to share something I've been planning since last year:
Yep! DiBS is getting a renovation.
What? Why?
Right now, the levels were designed based on one creature.

This made the game feel like it was just this one enemy type.
So, DiBS Renovation is to design new levels for other c...

It's free for everyone to join.
It's quite small, and there are only a few channels on purpose. You can find a few design documents, early drawings of creatures, and an archive of DiBS debug builds. You can also share suggestions, bug reports, and generally how you feel like.
