Didn't show this yet, but my game underwent a name-change. I didn't like how long the old name was and it didn't correctly convey what I want the game to be known for.

Another video progress report after 12 years.
I wanted to show off 2 of 3 re-writes that I worked on for the past couple days. (Footage by my bud, Huisti.)

In honor of Sonic Rush's 20th anniversary, we dug into the archives and found some original concept art of Blaze the Cat! Enjoy!

If you missed it, for Rush’s 20th anniversary, we put out a new demo with a bunch more content!
We’ll be going on break for the holidays, but we’ll be back at it soon! And we hope you’ll all be here when we get back.

Check out our new Overworld HUD! Pretty cool looking, right?
We're definitely going to further tweak the animations and polish it all up later, but what matters now is another core component of the gameplay is already implemented - we're moving at a great pace!

Makin' semi-progress on the Story Mode again.
I made a bunch of black 'n' white versions of a lot of the colored UI elements so they fit the aesthetic that the MIND area has. #indiegame #indiegamedev #pixelart

Finally got enough visual progress to show this off.
I'm completely re-writing the character select menu. It's less messy (visually), all the characters appear instead of simply switching them, and overall it feels better to use.

Been a minute.
Started working on some visual improvements. Namely, rn, OTHERTOWN Night 1 no longer has a giant wall of stars. OTHERTOWN's BG altogether has better parallaxing as well. #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamemaker #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

Did a lil' thing that I've been wantin' to do.
Doin' a Rush Trick Finale now has my 3 cats jump in celebration. Currently, they have 4 formations that they could jump in. (Inspired by the animals jumping from the same mechanic in Sonic Rush.)

Got a LOT of the score functions done today.
All that I gotta do now is set the score requirements for each stage, which I'll do later.
