Project focus - First poll
🕑 Added 2024-09-09 05:26:22 +0000 UTCHere we are - first poll !
The two first options are for adding more content to games that already exist. I may do an additional poll about what features to add in those more specifically.
Concerning the third option called "Ant-Crawler" (temporary name), it would be a new project with the help of Jacotomo for the art assets. Attached sketches are mockups of the "grab" mechanic idea for this game (they are very rough and don't represent final style at all !). More details about the concept :
You play as a honeypot ant serving your queen in the underground kingdom. The game would be a 2D dungeon crawler where you move from one room to an other on a tile-based map (some unique rooms may be larger than others and include several tiles/locations). Most ennemy encounter would be random and based on the biom you are in. Possible species : ant, bees, frog, snake, praying mantis, rats, etc. With several bloat stages each.
The player would have 2 main abilities, each related to one of its arm : the left arm to feed (makes weak point of ennemy more vulnerable or have various weakening effect), and the right arm to grab a body part (reaches weak point of ennemy). Other mechanics more common to dungeon crawler can be expected such as an inventory, looting, basic attacks, etc.
The end goal of the player would be to feed their ant queen until satisfied, but this may change.
Jacotomo veryyy early player sketch (to give an idea of the style. There may be a male version as well) :
Last thing to note : while I'll spend more time on the project chosen here, I'll also likely work on an other one beside that - but at a much slower pace. Chosen project will be main focus for next update.

Feed the dragon! It's what hooked me!

Ah ok, I hadn't considered that you had help. I simply knew you still had much more planned for Feed the Dragon, so I wasn't sure if you'd want to make more work for yourself. But still your new content is working out great as always

The thing is - I'll probably be alone for making art assets on Feed the Dragon, and Jacotomo has much more experience than me for digital art. So this is why a new project may actually grow faster if I have his help ! I know many of you love my first game tho, so feel free to choose the idea you like the most >:3

I don't want to tell you how to do art and stuff. I simply think it'd be easier on you not to start too many side projects when you still have existing games to work on. Just don't want you getting too overwhelmed thinking you have to appeal to us
