Hello!
It’s been a long time since the latest Patreon update, and this is the first e-mail newsletter I am sending out. So there’s a bit of catching up to do.
New Project Title
First and foremost, as you may have noticed from the e-mail subject, PlatformerGame now finally has a name!
And it is “Paula The Possum”.
Enjoy this bit of temporary key art!
Portland Retro Gaming Expo 2024
I will be showcasing the game at the PIGSquad booth on Saturday (September 28th). You’ll get to play the Nintendo Switch version of the game!
Project Refresh
As some of you may have noticed, the main player model looks different and the whole game looks different. That is because last year I’ve restarted the project with a focus on actually delivering the game.
Thanks to the refresh, and a new codebase, I’ve been able to actually get a build of the game that’s good enough to be shown off!
Some Credits
I wouldn’t have gotten to where I am without the help of several folks.
Gmad made the new character model!
francesca magali drew a piece of concept art that helped define the new design of the titular player character!
BattleAxeBunny drew the very first design of the possum character that later became Paula.
Papyesh has made some very nice looking environment art models!
Lalla (a.k.a. Dronaroid) has been helping me with the combat side of things. She’s also working on her own game called HEARTRENDER, which I recommend you check out!
That’s it! Thank you so much for reading.
If you want to give me some encouragement or ask any questions, feel free to reply to this, and I’ll probably write back while this newsletter is still somewhat small.
Take care, and have a good one folks!
