The level screens in the HUB for the final release will look something like this, themed to each level. This is the current version of the Floaty Farm screen (cos I know y'all haven't been over-exposed Floaty Farm yet 😭)

ngl, seeing footage of this game back around late 2020- early 2021 was the thing that made me pick up the mspaint-esque style for my own stuff.
Awesome to see its being worked on!
awesome face
if you ever learn OpenGL, this will be your nemesis
I do have a theory, the same reason why #1 issues of comics sell well. Anybody who's gonna check out the series for the first time are more likely gonna buy the first game.
The character Treble, a woman wearing prominently neon purple and grey, stands in a city street, posing in a nonchalant manner. On a wall reads the text 'disconnect.'
Treble in Disconnect
Treble is hanging out in the city after a night out with friends.

Working to try making the Nightclub level visually presentable in David Get Keen 😬

There's a lot more non-polished work thats been done on the game behind the scenes than whats ended up in that 2025 demo.
Most of the levels exist in some form in the game, and I've started work on the cinematics and character interaction aspects.
A crudely drawn scene in a cafe featuring three characters (Olivia Keen, Treble and Ella Beat) posing for the camera. Contains the text: 'DAVID GET KEEN' and 'SEE YOU IN 2026!'
In case you didn't see it, i dropped this image into the SAGE demo (it pops up if you quit the game from the menu)
Basically, I'm not 100% sure if I can make it, but I'm going to see if I can finish Keen in 2026. Depends on how much life gets in the way

I've also been playing through lots of other SAGE entries!! I plan to go through and leave reviews once I'm done.
I've actually been pretty busy with my day job, so I wasn't able to check out many of the livestreams live, but I've been lurking the VODs, and have been watching through them.
Ah yea I wanted to thank all those folk who checked out my demo during SAGE, especially those who have been around since the early days.
Honestly feels pretty weird and surreal seeing people enjoying this thing I've slapped together, especially after months of doubting and secondguessing.

CATWORLD 1.11 (THERE IS NO END)
A front and back view of a purple pair of 'phat pants'. Cartoon style
Front and back view!
An angsty woman with baggy pants and blue tinted circular sunglasses is smoking, the smoke causing waves in the border of the image. Cartoon-MS Paint style drawing.
I've just changed Treble's design a bit. New shoes (that look a lot less like clown shoes😭) and changed the pants to better represent what they're actually meant to look like (those phat pants melb shufflers loved to wear).
Other characters have also been touched up, stay tuned!

Random-image loading screens were in the 2021 demo, but not the 2023 demo. I never intended to axe these from the game, I basically just ran out of time.
