Help! Let’s set out a plan for the future!

I am constantly flip flopping in my mind about where to take the YouTube channel from here. Remakes are a pretty unique style of devlog on youtube and it’s where a lot of subscribers came from, HOWEVER original games are releasable, less of a copyright headache and could allow for financial freedom if commercially released. What would you like to see? This is an influential vote not a decision, I will ultimately decide after reviewing the vote and seeing how I feel after viewing its outcome.

Happy Halloween – PLOK! Remake

Happy Halloween! I’m unable to do game development for a few weeks due to LIFE. I decided to spend some time quickly before I’m busy to make this art work to celebrate Halloween. We’ve got PLOK as Ghost Rider, The Bobbin Bros as Joker and Batman, two of the undead fish enemies as a ghost and a bat, the Sprout wearing a pumpkin mask and Rockyfella dressed up as Frankenstein. We’re burning the in game logs because they’ve caused too many deaths catching us off guard. The bike PLOK is riding is from some mock up art that hasn’t been implemented for the motor bike stages. Ground tiles taken from the latest devlog (though currently unused). Water was just hue shifted.

Couple of minor bits I’ve done while I’ve got time before my big busy calendar block.
– Updated Profile Picture and Banner art on the YouTube Channel

– Added score popups for defeating enemies, see this short to see it in action
– Scheduled side by side level comparisons on Mondays and Weds each week ending on the 22nd November for currently made levels.
– You can see a bunch of extra material if you join the discord here.
