So uh, wow!

SAGE (Sonic Amateur Games Expo) 2023 happened at the beginning of September, and I launched Super Freaks 1 Ultimate Edition in the Nick of time for it. I also had booths for the Classic Pack and Strato-Scruffy.

Long story short, all my freakposting memes on the SFGHQ discord paid off, and…I wasn’t really expecting it to! I was just memeing around for fun and I figured maybe I’d get a few extra downloads out of it. Then the pre-show happened, and the chat popped off so hard for Super Freaks that I was quite frankly stunned.

Ultimate got streamed several times that week, got 200 downloads, and is the second highest rated game this SAGE (right after the immaculate BUDD by my friend EngineerKappa…which also has Super Freaks in it). Speaking of cameos, quite a few other games at SAGE had some freak cameos, like Turbo Leaper (which had freak fanservice just as good as BUDD’s), Mr. Shootem Breaks Out, TechPack Collection, Tacti-Cat, etc. Against all odds, the #superfreakssweep was real.

Now, post-SAGE and break, I have some improvements in mind for all of these silly stickman games.

Ultimate will get a 1.1 patch that fixes a bug with joining co-op right at the beginning of the game (please join from the character select screen for now), some little adjustments to things, and a few more song updates by philRaco. After this I will begin work on 2.0 which will feature a story mode featuring Kranion and the return of long-time classic villain Sticky being forced to team up.

The Classic Pack will get some more updates as well! 1 Remastered and Rides Again especially need some extra features added to them (and in Rides Again’s case a proper GMS1.4 port). There were a small handful of bugs found in 2 and 3 that I’ll be fixing too, most notably an error that can happen during the mech fight in 2. I consider Strato feature complete but I will be adding a few extra characters to it, and of course memes! …this is all short term btw; Classic Pack will be getting more games in the future. You’ll see which in due time!
