On Redbubble you can get stickers of the character art and the covers for the original and Deluxe version of the game.

I'm also in progress of working on turning the game assets into 3D printable designs - it'll be a while before the download for them goes public. Also need to get a storefront for these (probably Gumroad)

Here's the selection screen for Pinball Breaker DELUXE. Starting roster is 8 (like the original), goal is to add more in post launch updates.


With more than half the cast's animations completed, I'm comfortable with saying the game released first weekend of Febuary. If not you have permission to send me violent threats.

Game has 3 main steps before completion


Additional character animation

-faces need expressions to match voice lines

-additional animations reacting to player performance (about 10 per character, 3/8 are completed)


Music

-2 tracks composed, 2 tracks not composed, all 4 need to be mixxed and mastered.


Game Balancing

-Classic only had 6 layouts from the original game, Deluxe has 36

-Layouts need to be both unique but fun to play ; if I've tested my games for hours and still struggle at a section chances are it's an instant turnoff to players


We're looking at the 5%, not coming out tomorrow but very soon.

Here's concept art for the art style of Pinball Breaker DX. While Jules and Sammy had minor changes, Ace (far left) was overhauled cause the design wasn't cute enough. These were drawn as far back as July 2023

Day's work was spent getting the rest of the layouts - 6x the variation than what was seen in the original had. I've also been doing a lot of playtesting to find bugs / game balance issues. The end is in sight but there's significant animation and audio work left to be done in the final bit.

Here’s Ace’s selection screen artwork.

Yesterday and today was wrapping up coding on the 2 game modes. Classic mode is a remake of the original game while Deluxe adds features, shifts rules and ads more than double the layout variations (adds up to about 3x the variety of the original). Classic was done within a week but Deluxe has been having more bugs.


I should have squashed them today - meaning the rest of the dev time can be reserved to game balancing, asset polishing, board layouts and music (a final step which I'll start on the 22nd).


This game put in perspective why I don't like doing both art and coding on a project lol. I've been wanting to sculpt things for my 3D printer and kick up submissions to the art portal under my personal KageKMB account, but this takes priority. Thank goodness next game it's just coding and using music i wrote months ago.

Spent yesterday doing a marathon and drawing + polishing the roster art for the game. I liked how Penguina came out in particular.


Next week or so is getting the gameplay wrapped up and final week is additional polish. Aiming for an early Febuary drop because of how monthly voting works.
