Trapezoid contemplates existence whilst trapped within the perspective matrix

Been trying to draw a little more recently as I've been struggling to latch onto a new game project. Here's a couple Trapezoids in perspective boxes. Gotta push myself to draw more kinds of stuff though.

Up to 5 reviews for Critter Drifters (although there's actually 7, dunno what that's about)

All positive so far! With some fair criticisms too, but I'm pretty happy with the consensus so far. If you've played it, please consider leaving a review! Getting to 10 makes Steam boost it in the algorithm.

Now that Critter Drifters is out, I've been spending more time on the "what next?" question. Still exploring ideas, but I'm finding myself drawn to a casual RPG with turn-based battles.

Think a mix of Mario+Rabbids, Paper Mario, and Final Fantasy Tactics.

I would love to make a casual RPG like Paper Mario one day. But that is very, VERY daunting. So what I'm doing is making a bare bones "engine" without any graphical polish, characters, or story consideration.

Given enough time and effort, maybe something will come of it!

Critter Drifters is OUT on Steam! You can play it! On Windows or Linux or Steamdeck! Right now!!

Or you know...whenever you want to. I'm just glad I can finally let people play the whole thing.

40 mins! Technically I could do it now but Steam lets you specify the hour and I kinda want to do it exactly then.

Pretty happy with how Next Fest went. Wishlists were doubled! Of course that's easier the less you have to start with, but still :P

It's nice to see some hockey stick action in this graph. Goes to show how much being in #NextFest or other events makes a difference. I unfortunately missed out on the racing game one a couple months ago but I'm pretty happy with how this is going so far.

If you're a fan of kart racers, Critter Drifters is in #NextFest! Check out the demo today if you're interested:

Rhombus only knows so much because Trapezoid asks him too many questions

Only a couple days til Next Fest! I updated the demo to end off in the main hub of the game recently, as I realized it ended kind of abruptly otherwise. Also made it so you get that beautiful tire screech even without drifting when doing a super boost :P

Less than a week til Steam Next Fest. I've been tweaking the demo almost every day for a couple weeks now, including changes to the courses themselves but also just polish and general game feel. I'm excited!

I had fun with some of these "informational" signposts throughout the hub world

Improved the movements of the racer a little bit. Now instead of just tilting their torso left/right, they also tilt their head based on which way you're turning, and also up and down.

It makes it fun to dance to the music.

One more final trailer for Critter Drifters! This one is a little more action-focused. It was fun trying to compress this to be under Bluesky's video upload limit.

Finished a very important feature for Critter Drifters today...

Ive been adding polish to Critter Drifters for the past several days. Most recently are some extra foley sounds for immersion, and also juicing up the "big boost bar" on the bottom right.

It releases November 3rd. Wishlist or try the demo:

Okay, I added ONE boss race track to the Critter Drifters demo. Figured I might as well so you can get a taste for that aspect of the game, as there are several other boss races too.

The full game releases November 3rd!

The vertical bar on the left builds as you drift, but resets whenever you stop. This was always the case, but it was only displayed by the sparks changing.

It's a small addition, but it actually feels really good to see it go up, so I'm glad I thought to add it today.
