Heyo! this doesnt count as my weekly devlog, twitter is just MAD annoying when it comes to character limit
Anyways, I'm planning on releasing a Demo THIS MONTH, I changed what I was originally going to do a little.
BASICALLY, The content of the "big demo release" I originally had will be split over the course of weekly updates. The amount of content you get will be the exact same at the end, AND it will all still be free. but you'll be able to get the game earlier. This is done for multiple reasons:
#1. Let yall have fun with it! The game is mostly ready for demo, so might as well just create a version for yall to mess around with!
#2. Get feedback faster! I dont wanna release the full demo then get bad feedback, might as well get it out of the way earlier so it's fixable, ya know?
#3. Balance Changes. More Updates = More Balance Changes.
#4. Advertisement! Game will grow faster if people can play it!
HOW DO I GET THIS DEMO?!?!?!?
I'll be releasing a build on itch.io, and my discord server. Since they're both free, feel free to share them with friends, family, teachers, your coworkers, etc.!
WHAT WILL BE IN THIS DEMO (VERSION 1)?!?!?
4 Characters, as Planned!
39/52 Cards
Some (?) Music! Public Domain Music most likely.
1-2 Stages, I'll come back to you on the week 2 blogpost on this one!
3 Skins per character.
Vs. Player, and Training Mode
FUTURE UPDATES?!?!
I plan on adding in multiple modes for the demo version.
Vs. CPU
Tutorial Mode
Combo Trial/Mission Mode
Colourmaps For Characters.
MULTIPLE Balance Changes.
Once all of these are in place, (And maybe a few balance patches later). I'll stop Supporting this current version of 52Beatup, and move on to the "Full-ish" Version, Which will get character updates, new characters! (Planned 14 total!) new modes, and more ways to spice up each battle!
Thanks for Reading, now imma get back to procrastinating and listening to the MGR ost.
