Hi ! I'm Natouche68, and I make game in my free time.

This is, I hope, my first big game. This is a local multiplayer game about cakes. You have to push your opponent outside of the arena.

Here is how my game look now :

The players also have a dash ability : they are faster and push the other player further away, but they can't change direction, and are way slower during a few seconds. So you have to think when to use your dash, because you can't run away.

I use 2D sprites for the players because it give me the ability to create new characters faster and I think it give the game a more cartoony look than 3D models.

If you wonder which game engine I use, I make the game using Godot 4.0.

I'll try to make devlogs every one or two week, but it will depends of what I did during this week.

Hi !

For this devlog, I first added a proper background to the game. This is a fridge, where nothing special happen. In the next arenas, I will add some special events, like falling objects, moving platforms...

I also added eyes to the players :

The eyes look in the direction where the player is going. I think this give them a more cartoony look, and meke them look more like a character rather than a simple cake.

I added particles when the players collide with each other :

Finally, I created a logo :

I'm not quite happy with the result, but I can use it for now. Let me know if you have any other ideas for the logo.

Hi !

This week, I only worked on menus (yeah, pretty boring stuff).

This is the splash screen :

As you can see, I added borders to the logo. I think it looks way better now, but if you have any other ideas, tell me.

And here are the controller select screen and the character select screen :

There are also animations when these menus are appearing or disappearing, or when a player connects a controller...

Hi !

Sorry if I'm a little late, but I have a surprise for you, so keep reading until the end !

I first added some polish by adding particles when dashing :

I also added screenshakes and sound effects. I know that I will need to change some of the sound effects, but for now, they're good.

And for the surprise, you can test the game right here :

Don't forget to tell me your feedback !

Hi !

I have some bad news.

I didn't receive any feedback when publishing the demo. So, I decided to stop working on it because I don't want to force me.

I already lost motivation and if I had continued, I would not have done a good game. I prefer to finish with a good and polished demo rather that a bad and unbalanced game.

I published the source code on GitHub as well as the demo if someone wants to finish the game.
