Day 1 of 13, post 1 of 2

Progress so far: None. Instead, someone bought me Torchlight 2 and I played it for a few hours and grew tired of it. Better than I thought it'd be. (Still not great!!! He sold me on it by telling me it might be kinda like Spiral Knights but it wasn't at all)

I should have been working instead ;_; (it's not too late to start! I'm gonna work on fishbane and the p0 demo.)

changelog

- bananas changed to peaches

[droqen]

Belated post 2 of 2

- did some p0 optimization, framerate checkin'

- realized why Starseed Pilgrim was suffering horrible slowdown on my netbook, set it to fixed timescale

- everything beautiful


plan for today: Play a bunch of Probability 0 to remind myself of how fun it is :D
----> successful. i beat the crap out of my high score, too

maybe make a demo. maybe work on a bunch of stuff.

Day 5 or 6 of 13 - only 6 full days remain

Progress so far:

- Lots of Fishbane quests completed by my GUEST AUTHORS, none by me. Holy shit, though: they made some amazing levels. I have to work on the bonus quests menu, and a bunch of levels of my own. (I have a partial quest of my own done but that's about it.)

- Starseed Pilgrim audio guy is promising great things. I am excited for them. aaaaa

- Probability 0 has been left untouched for a day. Good! I'll work on the demo at some point in the future.

- Pirattitude has been getting a lot of focus too. Beautiful new art is made, and wowowowowow. Metal cages as barrel-mods are super fun. Double blocks? Lots of fun. Guns and swords? I'm not sold on 'em yet..... but they're fun. I have to update SVN to [check out + hook up with] the new menu!!!

[droqen]

I have stopped keeping track this way

VERDICT: CANNONS ARE KINDA OKAY BUT ALSO PRETTY CONFUSING SO I DON'T REALLY LIKE THEM
VERDICT #2: THESE EXPLOSIONS ARE BEAUTIFUL

Starseed Pilgrim: Still waiting! ryan hurry up!

Fishbane: Nobody has let me down. I'm left holding four amazing bonus quests with ridiculous style. Now I just need to make some of my own to match...

Probability 0: Possible music progress? O:
ONLY TIME WILL TELL

[mokesmoe]

How hard are these levels? I want at least one really hard level. Last time I played Fishbane I breezed through scary places. The places weren't scary anymore. I need some scarier places.

[droqen]

They are all hard in very different and... nontraditional? ways (if you can consider Fishbane's level to follow any sort of tradition).

None of them are as hard as Scary Places, though. I'll make another quest as hard as it before release though :D

[droqen]

Big changes of the day:

1. Price swing. I've been thinking $9 might be too much. Maybe it is. As of soon, I'm dropping the price of Probability 0, as well as of p0+friends. (The pre-order will likewise drop.) Anyone who pre-ordered previously needn't worry! I'll make it up to them in one of a few ways of each pre-pre-orderer's choice.

1. NO PRICE SWING! I was pep-talked. Price point definitely drives home how a game will be treated, and Probability 0 is a well-polished game (still polishing c'mon flash don't be laggy ._.) with tons of replay value. Also, the other three games are suitably amazing. See below for my second most recent confidence boost.

2. Starseed Pilgrim became amazing. This guy made some fucking amazing sound. Once, this game was a silly little prototype. It became a game, then a world, and now something more. I can't even explain. Its metamorphosis is complete. It is the most beautiful butterfly. Holy shiiit

[Tanner]

so jazzed for this

[Belimoth]

Probability 0 is cool, but I really like the look of that pirate game.

[droqen]

3. New Pirattitude art. (things yet to come: pretty gibs, pretty background)

The secret is I think they're all amazing and just getting more and more amazing as the day of truth draws ever nearer

Things that I am excited to have in the pirate game: a million options, and also three game modes that are just combinations of options that we think are nice

(THERE ARE LIKE FOUR DAYS LEFT I HOPE WE WILL MANAGE)

[droqen]

Transformation:

1. The first Pirattitude ever: http://i.imgur.com/MAB1F.png

2. Pirattitude today: http://i.imgur.com/QziM8.png

It looks Pirattitude it would play similarly to a more hectic Wario's Woods... but Starseed Pilgrim is quite... mysterious? Is there a way to explain the concept without totally spoilerizing it?

[droqen]

Maybe?

[baconman]

Symphonic garden? Like in the musical sense, or the everything-affects-one-another sense, or both... ? Guess there's only two ways to find that out...

[droqen]

Well.

It's done!

Congratulations on finishing the game!!

Checked out the package deal on your site and, wait, what? Fishbane??? I've seen this somewhere before but can't place it. Did you have it on GameJolt or the GMC forums by any chance? It'll drive me nuts until I know!

I've seen some articles on probability 0 recently, so I hope that the exposure does all your hard work proud!

[droqen]

FISHBANE!!!
