This is where I share early ideas and behind-the-scenes work. Ko-fi helps with coffee, food, long hours of learning & prototyping. Kickstarter funds the game Ko-fi supports the human making it. Your support and feedback really means a lot💚

Probably don't try this in the real Kamogawa...
Look and feel test for this area inspired by memories of hanging out by the river in Kyoto.

... and regarding bosses, even the piece of food you made fall down and ended up in your hoover could become an obstacle for our poor protagonist fly on its way out! That was too funny!

This is a level gamplay prototype against an ultra boss... this is how you fight a mutant cockroach as a little fly!
Maybe I should have added some "Hoover" items around for this fight but I think it works the same for now...

Here is the mostly finished fight with the rhawk from #blood&flames
Its a simple fight, but the arena keeps it interesting. Staying on top is harder but the bottom doesn't have much space to dodge.

By the way I don't knwo why but I like this frame so much like it makes me feel how the game graphic and gameplay and dynamics should be and also reminds me of good animation cell shaded cartoon

Experimenting with the Gameplay (always Prototype), What do you think? Are we getting closer to an actualy gamplay that can be used as a base for the actual programming and development then? Let me know!

I did 2 different types of armor/skin selection when playing, can you tell me which one you prefer or find better and why? You can see the second video in the reply!

I think an actual concept that answers many questions now starts to get shape with this new intro here:
This intro make you care more about the fly now that it has something to save, not just itself?
Looks like something you’d try playing, even just out of curiosity?

My new intro/gamplay concept is live, please share opinions!
Would you play that? Would you give it at least a try to see how is it? Does a backstory adds good to endless runners?
Please share if you can!
