Blobcat - Shoot 'em Up - Dev Diary

Games
#1

Hi there - thought I would make a little development diary showing the work I have been doing on my game Blobcat.

The game is a fairly casual shoot 'em up style thing. I first started working on it over a year ago, and then it sat in limbo for a while with me noodling about with it on and off - then, towards the end of last year, I decided to make a bit more of an effort to finish it.

Would love to get some feedback on what I’ve done so far.

Love the style!

Thanks for the kind words! Really pleased you’re liking the direction I chose for the art :slight_smile:

I know you are in the very beginnings… But I would love it if you changed the format of the level select into more of a map. Even if it is just the numbers looking a little scattered around a bit on an image. That would introduce more ‘story’ elements to this bizarre yet intriguing little game. And probably afford you more attention from media press. Maybe on a few parts you could have a little branching. You could have different types of backgrounds, depending on where the player is on that ‘map’.

Really like this, Very different.

I really like the idea of using a map for the level select. I’m going to have a think about how that would work :slight_smile: Thanks for the suggestion!
