Hey! Welcome to the Smash Crates Dev log. Here I will be adding updates on what is happening with the development of Smash Crates. But first I wanted to talk a little bit about the Fat Alien Cat team. We are a small team of 2 Developers working part-time, my partner is the creative eye behind the art of Fat Alien Cat and I am the programmer/designer. We are both currently working full time in the Australian Visual Effects Industry but have always dreamed of setting up our own game studio, with the goal of creating games we are passionate about and are crazy fun to play.
Our goal with Smash Crates is to create a unique party game experience where players of all skill levels and partake and enjoy. Taking inspiration from games like “Duck Game” and “Stick Fighters” we aim to create an experience that people can keep coming back to and play with friends locally or online with Steam remote play features.
