Casual reminder that MALCADE has a steam page, and will have a trailer / public demo soon!

Again just a small suggestion though since I feel like this camera might be pretty limiting in terms of environment design and enemy placement. Overall this looks like it plays really well! Excited to see more of this.

Looks really nice! If you're open to feedback here's some things I'd potentially suggest for game-feel:

Perhaps make the camera slightly higher and angle it down a bit? Right now the floor takes up almost 50% of the frame and it seems like the player can get lost behind objects.

I don't know why but I love the a-posing sprite floating through the levels haha.

Looking great so far!

Honestly depending on what you're going for sprite stacking like this is actually better than voxels. You can have more rounded pieces on the guns instead of it all being cubular

I worked one year on it, animating a bunch of stuff.
Congrats to the team, it looks amazing! ๐Ÿฅฐ

GameJam tips:

Always make a settings screen with at least audio options in it. It takes extra time, but it's worth it. Most jams let you use assets you own, so if needed, make a reusable settings prefab to use between projects.

(Sincerely someone who's been blasted by audio before)

Pre-Alpha vs. Current Build.

An even EARLIER look at Malcade. Complete with the chunky blockout machine I was using for the first month. A *lot* has changed based on feedback and iteration but it's crazy how much stuck.

Ah, beat me to posting the link haha.
Thanks! The page still needs to be updated with all of the new screenshots and a proper trailer. But we're hoping for a March-April release since the scope is pretty small and we've been moving pretty well along with it!

Thank you bunches, I've had a lot of fun working on it!

I think it was worth changing, because the new art direction is a lot more consistent and eerie feeling all around.

Thanks a ton!

Yeah, before I was really trying to go for semi-real looking graphics in Godot but realized I, for one, didn't have the skills to make models or assets for it, and two, didn't have the dev time to optimize for that.

So, the new goal was giving it a slightly pre-rendered look.

I take bug testing very seriously.

(Older video from when I sent a version of the fishtronomy content update to a friend for testing - includes me coping at the end)

AUDIO WARNING - many fish colliding with each other and spamming noises

Alpha vs. Current build.

Malcade has been a wild ride visually but I think weโ€™ve settled into a consistent style now.

Functionally this is just a micro state machine within the camera itself, but it makes it more interesting than a static decorative object in the scene, and also allows for dynamic state changing mid-game using items, as shown in the video.

Some dev-commentary on this account to go along with the teaser! These cameras were surprisingly complicated to get working like I wanted.

There's an idle viewing mode, a 'look at the player' viewing mode, and an alert mode. In the end I think it came together nicely!

I feel like younger people don't realize that the internet wasn't always optimized solely to make you as angry and miserable as possible, and people are having a lot of nostalgia for 2000s internet vibes now because it wasn't like that back then
