HF2 just passed 5000 wishlists...! Can't thank everyone enough for supporting me throughout development.

Going to post a few early gameplay clips to celebrate. I was still finalizing mechanics here, and thought about only certain moves knocking down.

curious to all my fellow fg game devs out there:

If you know a character is not very good at high level but is very strong and noticeably causing issues at low/mid level play, what do you do? Do you nerf the bad character?

feels like this is a character that needs a rework but that takes time!!

Painful confession: players had to force me to add the Grid stage to my fighting game(s). I hated seeing it everywhere and so I originally decided NOT TO ADD IT. It took some convincing and @skreamnredskull.rize.pro composing a theme for it to finally win me over. The song survived 3 games already😅

If you like fighting games with both strong offensive and defensive options, assists, and multiple fighting styles/grooves to choose from, you should play my game when it comes out in 2 days :)

And there's a visual novel attached to it too I guess
Heatwave's last major update, will be available on NOVEMBER 12!!! It will also be releasing on steam then as well. Most notably, it will contain a ~100k word visual novel story mode, and 4 new "secret" characters, along with balance changes, and bug fixes. ❤️

i have not watched GDT's Frankenstein but i am firm in my belief that it needs a tie-in adventure/fighting game like the 90s Kenneth Branagh one did on the Sega CD. and they need to keep in elizabeth's roll attack

. @burningsouls.bsky.social progress LIVES! I've been trying to chip away at this backwalk animation after the wedding. Still some small details & secondary anims to fix/finish but getting most of this done was a big check point to hit!

btw, the minimum price on itch will be increasing when the update is released, from 5$ to 10$, to reflect everything I've added over the years since the first early access release (12 more characters, arcade mode, survival mode, combo trials, story mode, etc...)

Here's a combo with another one of the new secret characters, "Trois", he's Sparrow's boss? roommate? sugar daddy? it's not very clear... to find out how they really feel about each other, you'll have to play through the game's story mode :)

If you like sci-fi visual novels about queer people moving on from the systems which have harmed them (and kissing each other), you should play Heatwave's story mode when it comes out in 3 days :)

The incredible feeling of going back to read stories I wrote 10 years ago *and not hating them*🥰
I need more of this kind of positivity.
