GREEDY GOBLINS

Hey guys, KageKMB here:

For Halloween of this year, we're dropping a project we've been working hard on - Greedy Goblins. CubePunks will be releasing a submission in each of the main Newgrounds - Games, Art, Movies, and Audio.

THE GAME

Greedy Goblin's game is an 8bit micro dungeon crawler. There's a wide array of traps and fiends you'll have to navigate around - with your tools being bombs to blast obstacles and your wit. With 40 levels total, this is our longest and largest title to date.

Game will be available here on Newgrounds on October 13, 2023. An announcement trailer in will also be released, in the same style as our last one.

Shortly after the game's release, the gameplay melody will be released in the audio portal. Following that, the original soundtrack to our past games will also start becoming available on Newgrounds.

COMIC

For the Art Portal: Kai-el-Jefe has been hard at work drafting a one-shot comic. It expands on the game's world, and shares a lot in common with 80's movies and comics found in gaming magazines. Here are two character concept sketches of the main dwarf (player character from the game) and a Greedy Goblin.

We're really excited to get things wrapped up in our hard work. Speaking for me personally - I've basically been working non-stop since September; with my only day off being at the DMV. So here's hoping to a smooth launch next week, so I can get some rest in peace.

There's a minor adjustment patch made to Poko Loco - including WASD compatibility.

The next game, Greedy Goblins, is making good time, and is slated to release mid-October.

We also have gotten some new art posts from KageKMB.

The next CubePunks game is about halfway completed. Here's a poster by kai-el-jefe, who came up with the idea and is doing the game's sprites.

It's another arcade-style game, this time with 8bit pixel art. If you like Zelda and/or Bomberman, it'll be for you.

Kage from CubePunks here:

Thank you all so much for the support and feedback on Poko Loco. It's been a few years since I started designing these arcade-style games, and that newest one was an accumulation of everything I learned. So being featured and the overall reception means the world to me.

The plans for CubePunks it to get at least 1 more arcade-like game done before the end of the year - this time designed by the team's main artist Kai-el-Jefe. He previously designed Vore and designed the Poko characters and style.

I'm also in the process of working on our first fully 3D game. It's a fangame project so its affiliation to CubePunks is yet to be determined (don't want to risk anything).

There's also going to work done to prototype what is my dream project, currently under the working name Crimson Blade. It's an action game, set to have the Sammy and Ace characters from Pinball Breaker as the leads.

Wrapping all this up, I'm now using Newgrounds as my primary place where I post art. I'm doing it on my personal account KageKMB (wouldn't work on this one given CubePunks the team).

If you want to see content more frequently, give it a follow. The post will range from fan art to art used in CubePunks original projects.

Again, thank you all so much.

It's been a while, but we finally dropped a new game. Please check it out while it's still under judgment!

(erm, early bird gets the werm?!)

Project Break Beak is a game that's akin to what was see on 2000's handhelds. Here's footage from the current alpha.

Getting all the pieces and their behaviors is the current priority - then visual assets and level design will be built.

Play our released games on Newgrounds.

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.
