Hi!

Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen...

In other words - everything is good! :D

First part of testing was finished, and I decided to add HARD difficulty to the game. This mode gets unlocked after the player finishes the game for the first time.

Since the game uses checkpoints and players can change difficulty from the main menu, to implement difficulty change I needed to use some interesting solutions. My goal is to make any functionality modular so it can be easily adopted in future projects.

Second part of testing (it involved more rage quitting than in the first part - which I like! :D) is also done, and localization is currently being made!

Releases for PC (Steam - SteamDeck), Switch, PS and Xbox are contracted, but dates are - like I said before - out of our control.

We will try to release the game simultaneously... at least PC versions will be released simultaneously.

Itch.io will not go first after all, because that would be unprofessional from my side.

And now to mention some of the game characteristics:

-          Game has 6 levels

-          7th level is a boss fight level

-          There is 42 achievements

-          Two difficulty levels

-          4 playable characters

-          Around 4 hours of gameplay for one play-through

-          One Earthling

-          Many Martians

-          Some Venusians

-          Extensive amount of humor!

To conclude - I'm happy with the reception the game got from the testers. I had a lot of bugs to resolve, but none huge or game breaking.

Although I've been in the game industry for quite some time, this project was very challenging for me. Doing everything by yourself is a big burden and sometimes you think you will never finish it.

I managed to make this game as I wanted - in my opinion it has the right amount of difficulty and fun (even silliness), and the pace between the two - to keep the player interested in seeing what will happen next.

But ultimate judgment will come from the players themselves...

Wish me luck and, like always, stay beautiful!

Bye!
