We're back at it again! The SAGE Expo officially starts today and we've got a new demo of Sonic Colors Demastered at the ready. This one is a little modest compared to prior years but still features some cool updates so check it out!

Saw this during one of Sony's game showcases and have been excited for it ever since. Congrats on your (almost) launch!
I really want to put in the time to learn Godot in the future, particularly when I'm ready to make the jump to 3D, but as someone who is currently a dedicated GameMaker user it makes me very sad seeing how few people are using it. It's a genuinely fantastic engine.
Don't think I didn't see them get poisoned by the Lunchly pizza π
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is definitely my top right now but I recently beat Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo and feel it might be a sleeper hit. Anyone who likes top-down action-adventure games should play it, very well made and consistently fun start to finish!
Extremely underrated game and I'm so sad it's flown under so many people's radar. Please play it.
It's sad though because creating unique content for a linear game is typically more time consuming than randomly generating content for rogue games. Randomly generated content also typically provides way more hours of gameplay for less effort so it's no surprise to me so many indies are doing it.
My friends and I get in a weekly debate about roguelikes/lites because they adore them but I really dislike them. From a design standpoint I understand why they work but the randomized "endless" gameplay just doesn't entertain me. I vastly prefer handcrafted linear experience, even if they're short.
You can check out the game on both itch and Gamejolt:

I will say it IS a textbook so if you're not big on reading it can be a little dense. I also don't think the author gets everything right (there's a chapter about gaming preferences between genders that is, in my opinion, kind of sexist). Other than that though I do highly recommend it!
"The Art of Game Design" by Jesse Schell is a literal masterclass in game design, both for physical mediums like board games and video games as well! After slowly reading through it and taking notes over the past year I feel like the way I think about game design has dramatically improved!
Gotta be honest and say that I'm really proud to finally be showing these off. Shoemonster and I put weeks of effort into these tracks and I really think it shows. Can't wait for players to hear them in-game!
Happy #screenshotsaturday! Today, we've got an awesome soundtrack preview for the new stages coming to Sonic Colors Demastered! Strap on your goggles and dive into the deep with these whimsical remixes of Aquarium Park!

Get ready to party like it's 2017 with the Drop Dash, a new skill coming to Sonic Colors Demastered! Sonic may no longer be able to double jump, but instead he'll gain the ability to charge a spin dash by holding the special button in midair!

Already pre-ordered my collector's edition and am literally counting the days. Gimme gimme Pippit plushie! π«³πΎπ¦
I had the pleasure of playing a demo of Aurascope last year when it was exhibited at the 2024 SAGE Expo and was blown away. For any action-platformer lovers out there, please do yourself a favor and back this game. The devs are clearly making something very special! #indiedev #gamedev #kickstarter
Happy #screenshotsaturday! Today's preview takes a look (or more accurately, a listen) at the dynamic music system in Aquarium Park! Dive underwater and you'll hear the background music seamlessly fade out instruments; giving it a calmer, more subdued vibe.

This looks awesome but I hope they tweak the dialogue frequency a bit. Sonic saying "good" after every trick was starting to get annoying towards the end, lol
