CubePunks's News

Posted by CubePunks - January 24th, 2023


We dropped a Twitter thread featuring the current progress and updates for our next 3 games.

Break Beak is in early development. It aims to be our first "console" styled game, in the form of a platformer with a bit of a funky flair. (Gameplay is seen in thread)

The 2 games that will be released before Break Beak are projects that've been in the works for a while now. They will both be "arcade" style of games, in line with the current CubePunks portfolio


A good sum of previous posts have been documenting work on Round Zero. The game is coded but the art is still being worked on.


Horny Police exist in a similar status, coded an in the art phase. Gameplay is a horde mode survival shooter, featuring humor skewed for an internet audience

BONUS NEWS: The already released CubePunks titles will be getting ports for mobile browsers.


There's currently an open beta for 3 of the titles.

In the future, we'll aim to have a mobile-compatible version of the title ready on release.

WANT TO SUPPORT?

Right now Poko is just a small arcade-style game, but we have plans for how to make it bigger. We just need a little bit of help.

  • If you want to see said plan (or are curious about joining the team) please look at the Pitch Deck
  • Fund the Poko project by buying from our Shop

The game is coded with art assets being integrated. It's planned for a November release.

AS FOR OTHER GAMES

The top-down shooter "Horny Police" and the boss rush "Round ZERO" (previously under the working title "combat platformer") are also wrapping up development, with art assets currently being worked on. Releases will be spread out more or less a month apart from one another.


We're also taking some time getting used to the 3D side of the Godot engine. Going into 2023 we plan on doing bigger titles.

So it's been a while since "Combat Platformer" (working title) had an update. But here are some screenshots showing how it currently looks.

iu_779816_5504493.webp

This last few pics are the roughest looking because the 2 main assets that need to be added are level backdrops and the cutscene artwork. Aside from those 2 things, all the work left on the game is tweaking what's there.

iu_779818_5504493.webp

A major hurdle that stalled development were the character assets. I needed to improve some of my 3D modeling skills, and this is the first time I've animated a game to this level. However all bosses have been finished and added to the game.

iu_779819_5504493.png

My goal is to release the game within 2022. There will be some features added in a post-launch update (like the training mode)

The game's coding is complete - it's all art asset generation and integration. Twitter is the best spot to keep up to date on progress, but the rundown goes...


  • CORE GAMEPLAY: 100% there but has placeholder assets over it
  • MODES: arcade and story will be available at launch, 2 additional modes are planned to be will be added in an update
  • CHARACTER MODELS: All molded, all rigged, but require minor adjustments and tweaks
  • CHARACTER ANIMATIONS: In progress, not integrated in-game
  • MUSIC: writer, integrated, but not final mixes or masters
  • SOUNDS: working on that next
  • EFFECTS ANIMATION: No progress
  • ENVIRONMENTS: No progress
  • MENUS: Layouts and functionality, but no final fonts or buttons
  • HUD: Same state and menu


It's not going to release this month sadly, will aim for next. Even with the "hard part" out of the way, I don't want to phone the last bit in.


Heads up, it's a short game, and simple if you compare it to consoles. But I do think it's a fun play, my favorite game I've made so far.

Our top-down shooter game "Horny Police" (gameplay preview) is currently in the asset generation and implementation phase. Here's a preview of the idle sprites drawn by kai-el-jefe

Egirl - Boss Character

Officer Cheems- Player Character

Honry Goblins - Enemies

We also have a boss rush 2D beat-em-up that in the works (gameplay preview). It is still relatively early in development but it's shaping up to be promising. Here's the concept art for the player by KageKMB

Fanart of her has also already been drawn (even though the design isn't finalized lol)

That's it for now! Hopefully, the next front-paged post is regarding the release or a patch for Horny Police.

On top of the OneyPlays fangame I'm coding for Vudujin, I also got the gameplay completed for a survival top-down shooter. Art is being drawn right now by Kai-el-Jefe (who designed the family friendly game VORE), and the main gameplay is built (be it with funky placeholder assets)


This is the next CubePunks original project, if it comes out before or after the OneyPlays one, only time will tell (and smell).

Gameplay preview video

Progress has come along nicely, I'd say it's more than halfway done. Most of what's needed is implementing missing art/audio assets. Everything is functional (minus for the boss round game), with some additional polishing needed.

We’re working with Vudujin on the coding for a functioning based off his mock-up animation. Its a Wario Ware + Oneyplays mashup parody.

Watch the video

Also the art for our 4th original browser game, “Horny Police” is making progress on the art side. The main bulk of the code is also built. It should release shortly before or after the Oney Game.
