We're still deep in development so a lot of this stuff is very rough or still in planning, but if you'd like to follow our progress more closely, we recently created a discord server where we'll start posting soon!

It’s definitely an inspiration for one of our upcoming UI reworks but otherwise the visuals are 100% the vision of our lovely artist @dirn.bsky.social !

Gameplay wise the game is one part Beastieball, one part Darkest Dungeon and one part Paper Mario :)

Phasmopass will feature deep Character customization with strange items and ghosts to bond with, as well as a unique Reality-Show-inspired roguelite structure!

However, we're still working on perfecting our core loop beforehand, so we're looking forward to playtesting our combat a lot soon!

The second twist?

Reefsong was developed as university project where we had to make a unique input device!

We built the a staff to resemble the mermaids weapon out of a cardboard tube, a Blue Snowball and a Joycon for movement (we tried motion controls first but they were too buggy🥲)

The core loop is very simple;

1) Find polluting ships dropped by the mothership!
2) Capsize them with powerful waves!
3) Purify them into a reef that local wildlife can use as a habitat!

The twist?

You have to SING to do so. High notes purify your surroundings and low notes create waves!

It's really welcoming :D

Speaking as a programmer who worked in Unity for four years, I had a small adjustment period of two weeks and then I was vastly preferring the experience. It just feels a lot more approachable to look at

We were super honored to be allowed to exhibit Bug Off! at last year's @godotcon.bsky.social Berlin 2024!

It was a super memorable experience, and we met so many new #godot developers there.

Really happy to be working in this engine and excited for all the new updates coming out for it!

You can dance with 5 different partners and grow closer to them over the course of three difficulty levels, and maybe even go out on a date...? 😳👉👈
