Day Thirty Seven
Today was a slow day. I only really managed to make progress on a single pattern, and I don’t have time to put together a gif to show you 😂 I’ll include it in tomorrow’s post.
I’ve made my decision - googly eyes will become permanent in the next alpha/beta releases, so keep an… eye out for that! I think it gives a ton of personality to the shapes, and every time I see someone play without them I get a little bit saddened. It’s a great cheat code, but it has kinda become a core part of the game’s identity now! ICU will still be a cheat code, it’ll just double the size of all googly eyes.
I love old school cheats like that, I think they’re a lot of fun to hunt down and use. However, most players simply don’t care. It’s a sad truth, but it’s unlikely that many people will scour the website or try a bunch of commands in the discord server 🫠 for those that care to do that, though, it’ll be a nice bonus I think. It’s one of the things I feel are really missing from games these days, which is why I’ve kept googly eyes locked behind a cheat code this whole time.
What’s next?
Once again, some more triangles content, some more presskit bits, and a lot more sleep hopefully 👍 I’m also helping mod for the 2023 edition of the GMTK Jam which will be a lot of fun - I’m sure I’ll see a few of you there!
I hope you enjoyed reading about my Polyfury progress. If you have any questions or thoughts, please feel free to leave a comment below. Thanks for reading, and maybe check out the demo:
