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.

Full game releases in 3 weeks!

#steam #gamedev #indiedev #godot

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!

Critter Drifters will be in Steam Next Fest (next Monday), but the demo is out now!

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:
