Thought I should start a new thread since the game has a new name. I have rolled out an option to playtest for anyone interested in supporting the project. Head here for more on it https://ko-fi.com/bark_n_butter.

donations/memberships will go to commission work for other developers to help with the project. It's a massive undertaking even with attempting to scope the project down quite a bit to make it manageable.

If you prefer to wait to get your hands on it I am striving for a demo on Steam in February.

As of now the test is primarily dialing in movement, air, buttering and soon rails (almost ready). It's an extremely early look so I only urge people who want to drive development to get involved. The playtest is on itch.io atm and will be transitioning to Steam a couple updates from now. Most weeks there will be a new build on Fridays if nothing breaks that week. Would be thrilled to answer any questions anyone has. Peace!

This is my first game ever and it's almost unheard of that someones first go of things they get onto consoles. Even then without a publisher it's really hard even for popular steam games to get on console. So I will say unlikely but not impossible.

For sure agree. Still learning how to animate amongst everything else. I am kind of following a list I have whats most important. The visuals and "juice" as we call it comes a bit later. Most of the work is behind the flashy shit atm.

Will be working on learning procederual animations which will have a much more natural feel to it. I admit it's really stiff looking at the moment.

It looks sick I think a map creator of some kind would make a sick community and help the game stand out from others.

Have one planned. I have been talking with a developer of one of godots terrain editors and were pretty confident we can do a standalone map editor within the games folder. I would have to commision it out though since its basically porting another game. The cool thing is though I have the permission to do it!

In the discord in the "general" channel I am giving away 2 playtests for 1 month. Giveaway ends on Friday in time for a update with new systems. Controller and a free account at itch.io required (only site to upload game builds before steam page is verified).

Anyone can enter, but would be sick if those who did, partake in some feedback but no worries if not.

Here is the invite to discord: https://discord.gg/xA2ZJuQWWE Otherwise a small demo will be free on Steam in February (which will be a good time to join anyway).
