So! Last month we did the big demo, and that went great! Using wishlists as the metric always feels weird, but
comparing this festival VS our last one, it seems like folks really dug it. Seems like we're hitting the bar we need to for release. WHICH IS GOOD, because gosh we're getting close.
Anywho, what's been happening…
if you want SkateBIRD in your Animal Crossing, you can use that code (thanks kai!).
We added balloons, because of course we did. Also
quail, with the lil dingle-bopper, and we started experimenting with
cute bird-toy grindables. You won't see these in the first bedroom though, we're saving 'em for the last level. Speaking of levels, much of not-working-on-the-demo time here has been
working on the first level. It's
very different from the Bedroom we demoed before, though we
incorporated a lot of what made it cool. Just had to clean it up a lot, make sense of what was there (ping-pong table instead of Weird Giant Wooden Floor Table Thing), etc. The rest of the time was
working on the last level, which has a KITCHEN. Yes
you can skate that sink, and
the rest of the counter, and a bunch more that isn't shown yet. The level got uh. Fancy.
Once I finish this, I'm going to start putting the missions into the first level, and the next week I should be mission'ing the last level, and then:
WE'RE CONTENT COMPLETE.
Doesn't mean the game will be done then, but so close. So very, very close. 'Til next month!
