Parasol Corp | Cozy Game Restoration 📦

I will not lie I’ve started spending a lot more more time at my local retro game store since I’ve been doing this project 😅

Planning (carts inspired by) Gameboy, snes (pal and ntsc), genesis (pal and ntscj), n64, psx, Saturn

…For initial release

Thank you! There are 108 in total in the game and they’ve been fun to make. I’m slowly doing video breakdowns of how I’m building stuff on YouTube and TikTok in little short forms

Ah thank you for sharing my game! Aiming for a July/August release on Steam :)

Experimenting with weather cycling for my cozy cleaning game. The weather and date will impact the economy and a bunch of fun RNG #cozygame #steam

Added rarity callouts and platform icons to my inventory screen and it looks SOOOOOO might nicer!

Agreed! I absolutely adore this game, and Missile is the number 1 video game dog who can do no wrong

Cleaning up your desk requires a miniature wheelie bin. Its a fact

Hey Aussies - I'm gonna be on your island for around 12 days next month. Any game studios or indies in the Sydney / Melbourne area I should be chatting to while out there?

PS anyone have Team Cherry's email? ;D

Cozy Game Restoration on Steam Cozy Game Restoration is a soothing simulator where you gently bring forgotten video game cartridges back to life. Tear wrapping paper, peel old stickers, lift away grime, and transform dusty relics i...

Would love to chat if my game is something which aligns with NC2! I promise i'll let you make a puppet for the interview if you want to <3

When you finish cleaning the game in our cozy cleaning sim, you get a score! This was not a good score :(

WTF I never knew Master System carts in Japan were so different and cool looking!

Seed based randomisation is in and working based on the game's hidden hash. Nice end to a sunday session :D

Spending ages being a nerd and studying stickers from different game stores across the world so we can get authentic looking old stickers you can peel off your games

#blender to #unity export and import setup ticking along nicely. Its a bundle of under-optimised json but lets keep that between ourselves

something something military grade something

Overengineering ++

I decided it'd be more valuable to have sticker shapes driven by png silhouette so now it does that.

behold! An over engineered rounded sticker mesh generator!

Glad you’re keeping some stuff you love. Is that your Pac-Man? If so it’s in excellent condition. The ones in the game stores around me all have signs of sticker humidity and weird brown stains

It’s crazy isn’t it. I discovered the magnets that morning after thinking “I don’t want gravity here. What I need is some sort of magnet”
Lo and behold

Thank you for sharing! Currently the Qtip kinda just changes color when it has gunk on it but I’m looking forward to throwing a bunch of particles and sludge shaders at it.
Are you planning on keeping any of your games or are you selling everything?

Thank you! It’s lovely hearing other people care about getting these rediculous tape physics feeling chaotic too!

First peel test on the cart feeling pretty good!
It's still missing a bunch of sticker residue and some quality of life but we'll get there :)

Its super satisfying removing stickers and seeing a cleaner surface underneath, so I spend this morning figuring out how to get that working with our stickers

Genesis (style) carts are in!

Yes! You can create a point or plane force in the physics properties of a magnet element. This lets you suck or push cloth or other simulation elements around. It’s been super helpful for getting stickers placed on carts

Using Blenders magnets to setup stickers in our cozy game about restoring old video games. Looking forward to peeling these suckers off in game!

Cart stickers are almost working *Heavy Breathing*

Now after chatting with a few friends about the book I want to read it again. Lol

I was very emotional about heists when I was younger apparently
