For once Tiny is not jumping and throwing things, but instead chills on the lakeside with some new critters

Cute

Here is a preview of our new Boss Fight against a kraken. He obviously doesn't like it when cheeky boys jumping around on his head.

Still a little bit rough around the edges, but we hope you like it anyway.

The background music is a temporary track that was written by Chris Hülsbeck for his Patreon Project. You should go and check it out here: https://www.patreon.com/chris_huelsbeck

Looks great! Do you have some estimation for release date? And will it run on Intel IGP okay-ish? (I'll have 2C4T Skylake connected to TV in living room with Xbox controller so me and my son can play not demanding games on it).

Nice detail with the proper cephalopod irises!

Yes, I think the game should run on most low end machines, too. We don't have an exact release date yet. Probably sometimes in Q2 in 2021.

Here is a first look at our latest feature. The basic idea is very simple: Tiny (and also his hammer) can toggle blocks on and off, but this makes up for some pretty interesting puzzles and situations.

Nice! Also the box "hovering" on a bouncing hammer is cool!

Just an FYI: that shade of pink is pretty completely camouflaged in the background for my kind of red-green color blindness. I think a simple subtle color-contrasting glow aura could fix that, then you don't have to compromise the palette or worry about any type of color blindness any more.

Good

Good point. I've just added a task in our trello board



Do you know of any tool, where we can simulate how color blindness people see stuff (a shader would be the best, but a tool where it converts images would also be good enough) - so we can go through all graphics and check them?

[vdapps]

Nice video as always. Looking forward for more updates.

This works pretty well for me on websites:

There are also apps on phones you could try, but then you'd have to point them at your screen all the time

Like the box bouncing but wonder how players can be taught/lead to do that.

[JoeManaco]

What are these strange ice vortexes for? Tiny Thor should throw his hammer in to find out. 

[JobLeonard]

That is a very cool game mechanic, although I don't think the graphics really give me a hint that I should throw the hammer at it. Come to think of it, I'm not sure how one would communicate that with graphics alone anyway

How do you plan to teach the players this?

[vdapps]

Niceeyy. Yeah, I also think this is cool mechanics. I have impression that despite of childie looking main protagonist, this will be quite hard-core platformer, right?

We have not playtested it yet, but the idea is to introduce it with a very very simple situation. Because the hammer is the main mechanic of the game, and it's introduced very late in the game I think the player will do it intentionally.

Thanks. It's probably not as challenging as for example Celeste, but there will be some challenging situations and we have optional levels who are very, very hardcore. Asides from that, we often post videos of the hardest parts because they just look good in videos

A new spooky enemy 

[vdapps]

Uuuuuuu, seems like Soma + Resident Evil + Outlast level of spooky-ness. Great animation as always!

Thanks again

Here is a new feature. The Jelly Crate. It's a little bit wobbly but could be of some good usage for our hero. We don't have any situations designed yet, so this video just shows how the feature works. Now we have to come up with some interesting level design situation.

[JobLeonard]

So many game mechanic ideas!
