Sudden Soul

[Nikodile]

A recent build! Added fishing and some other tweaks. We're hoping to get a semi-public playtest out there in a few months 

What's next?:
-Polish fishing, some animations
-Adding elemental fusions for our characters. What does Lavinia the fire-user get when she mixes with water magic? Yep, steam. Each character will have a couple options for elemental changes.
-Environment touch ups.
-Sock slide mini game!

Meet the common enemies of The Sock Cave - the first dungeon of Sudden Soul:

Slugbug

These guys are the pinnacle of sock and slug kind. They are footwear thieves and pack a mean bite. Recent events have made them have an affinity toward soft fabrics, people with socks beware!
--------------------

Timid Slugbug

Not all Slugbugs are brave enough to get close enough for a bite. These variants prefer puking out socks as projectiles from a distance as they were attuned with the Wind element. These guys prefer their socks cleaned on the delicate wash cycle.

--------------------

Shoomba

Is the Shoomba the monkey or the fungus? Before the recent events, the two were separated... the monkeys were huge fans of eating the mushrooms, but it seems as though they've become the fungus itself! Watch for their spore explosions.

--------------------

Ice Shoomba

This Shoomba variant has been attuned with the Water element. Their spore explosions cause a frigid effect. Careful to not get frozen.

--------------------

Trashcaster 

Once in the past, these beasts were definitely spec'd into the Rogue class. However, after the city's blackout, it seems they were attuned to the Poison element and have class changed into Wizards. In a city where no one cleans up after themselves, they thrive.

--------------------

There might be other weird, rarer enemies popping up in Sock Cave. Keep an eye out!

Made what they call a "short form video" on the internet for these new sites called TikTok and Instagram.

Honestly though, felt like I needed to really start condensing footage and I feel like this is a good start + marketing is always good :) Really getting close to a playtest!

[Nikodile]

Going to be focusing more on posting to social media (which I'm not really fond of tbh) mostly cause I need to get some interested playtesters. Made this new one on Windows Movie Maker! Will keep y'all updated if anyone would like to try the semi-public playtest.

Posted a bit of a gameplay teaser recently. As we're closing in on playtesting, I'm trying to get as many people interested in the game as possible to get as much feedback as we can get!

[Nikodile]

Hello MelonLand! Long time no see, I come bearing news. A secret, semi-hush, low-key, sorta private playtest is available now! Before we post anything about it publicly if you'd like to try and let us know if it passes the Melon Vibe test.

Playtest form if you would be so kind.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments about the cool sock-stealing slugs.

Thank you

Making a dual screen build for AYN Thor specifically! Death to smartphones! This will be the only Android build, and you need 2 screens.

The Steam playtest is live now!

Just in case anyone found an Itch exe fishy! Kinda sucks a lot of bot crawlers in Steam so I can't gauge how many people are really trying it, but oh well. Let me know what you think!
