Intro cartoon is done!

If you haven't seen it on my feed back thread, watch it here!

Also I've been working on a few of the minor bugs.

Previously, when you walked into a wall, the walk sound would play over the top of itself on repeat, which was annoying.

Now, when you walk into a wall, you get a subtle bump sound.

I added a small stunned animation for when Roopit and Boopit walk into a wall as well.

And another angry animation for when they bump into each other and little rebound noise!  :)

Also, there is now a little dust cloud behind them when they run, very cartoony!  I love it!  :D

Check it out

There were a few other little bug that I had a crack at as well, and I'm pretty happy with how things are shaping up!

Play the game for yourself!  I always down to hear some feedback!

Have fun!  :D

I'M BACK!!

I've been shading all the player and enemy sprites!

Have a look!

I'll have to make a gif soon to show it off a bit better.

Also I have been going through and shading the cut scenes.

The bug that never dies (players getting stuck on each other) has risen its ugly head once again!

Geez... It seems no matter what I do, there seems to be some cases where they get stuck.

However, I think I have it fixed now, tho that is what I thought the last two times as well!  xD

Other then these graphical updates and bug fixes, I have decided to put a new system in the game!

When you finish each world, you will get a ranking, S A B C D F

Roopit and Boopit will react according to how high (or low) you rank!

The rank will be determined by how long you take to finish the world,  however there wont be a visable clock or indicator of how well your doing while your playing.  The reason for this is that I only want the ranking to be something to beat in a second play through of that world, I don't want players to feel "on the clock" the first time they play.

I hope you all are having an ok time with all thats going on.

I would love if you could play Roopit and Boopit and provide feedback, I'm happy to play your game as well!  :)

Have a good day!

Hi! I just played the new version and I loved it! Your game looks, sounds and plays amazing! I finally tried the slow mode and it really made things easier to play solo. Obviusly it would be much more fun to play with a friend, but this quarantine wont allow it unfortunately. I like the little animations at the start of each world a lot. This is a game with LOTS of personality and charm.

One thing that happened to me was that I tried to load a game without having a save and it crashed. Maybe because I had a save from the previous version? Idk, when I give my game to my friends to test it I allways tell them to "try to break it", so thats what I was trying to do, I dont know if its helpfull or not.

Also in the options menu you have the "back" button and the "menu" button and they both do the same. Maybe you could get rid of one of them.

I genuinely (I had to google translate that word lol) like your game a lot and im hoping to play it with friends soon!

THE GAME IS FINISHED!!

WOOO!!  :D

So, now its time to market!!

I'm going to put this game on steam as well, as a learning experience.

I don't really think it will be hugely financially successful, but it will be good to have in my portfolio and the whole experience has been a lot of fun and taught me a lot!

The full version of the game will up on Itch for free for now, however I'm going to put a $2-$3 price on it once it is up on steam (most likely for the same price)

You can try it here!

The creation (fun) part is over, but there is still much work to be done!

My next big thing other then steam, is getting an updated trailer.  Not gonna lie, that feels like a lot of work, but it will be worth it.

Also, I'm thinking of doing a few more YouTube videos and maybe a stream.

Thanks for keeping up with my journey, and thanks for all the feedback and support!  :)

Have a great day!

I have been making games at home just for fun using gamemaker for about 15 years.

Happy to announce that after all this time, I have finally got a game up on steam! :)

This is more about a learning experience for me, I'm not expecting to make money.

Heres a link to the store page -

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1330300/Roopit_and_Boopit/?beta=0

The game is also up on itch.io for a little cheaper than steam, since you guys are so supportive and helpful!  :)

If you want to play but you're unwilling or unable to pay money for it, hit me up and I'll figure out how to make a key on itch for you to play free!

Please don't let it stop you giving my game a try.

I really just want to get a game out there and see people play it, if you have fun and it puts a smile on your face, that is payment enough for me!  :)

Thanks so much to everyone who has supported me and play-tested through out development of Roopit and Boopit!

It's made the whole process very enjoyable and I often suggest people interested in game development sign up and upload to itch because you guys are great!  :)

Have fun!
