Developer posts and news about this game.
Not much to say here, just made a decision this morning and implemented it! Added a button for toggling inverted climbing controls in the settings -- they're inverted by default but can be changed to suit preference now. Added a prompt in the tutorial regarding inverted controls,
A few things remained quite terrible in my tutorialization, and while this patch doesn't fix all of them, it should help! Attached gameplay footage to the "Extra reach" and "Momentum" tutorial tips, since the concepts are easier to understand visually than through text. (I may go
Since Escort Mode is still the most challenging, and the least developed part of the game, I thought I'd add something small to improve the multiplayer experience, along with fixing some of the remaining issues. I still have to run through the full game to make sure there aren't
Fixes to a few problems I didn't manage to catch before uploading the changes to stamina! Fixed tutorial starting with stamina enabled, rather than activating halfway through. (I didn't add a good override for stamina in the tutorial, so it was just pulling from your settings.) F
A few general fixes and additions to help the average player's experience. Includes UI changes, improved level clarity, and extra tutorialization. Added D-Pad support to menus, for those who prefer it to the joystick. Made the rock jump after the Temple Reception building easier
Took some extra time to brainstorm a better implementation of the stamina toggle, that hopefully solves some of the need for one. Stamina changes: Made stamina the default again, but kept the button for toggling it on and off. Increased your amount of stamina by 75%, so you're st
Only one change worth mentioning here, but it's a big one: I may go back on it depending on the reception I receive, and find another way to fix the problem instead. Replaced the stamina bars toggle with a toggle for the entire stamina system. This will remove the time limit of s
A few very specific changes and additions, to further streamline a first playthrough. Fixed an out-of-bounds respawn that upon winning the game, would cause a visual glitch that teleported Bart to the previous obstacle. Added a tutorial prompt for the plastic tubes that only acti
A few more small issues I found after watching others play through the last build of the game! Assigned the dazed sound effect to an audio mixer, so that it responds to the volume sliders. Added a cooldown to automatic crying, so it doesn't repeat so many times in the windier are
I overlooked a bug in the last build to do with creating a new Escort mode save, and along with fixing that, I made the tutorial prompts more predictable and informative. Fixed the Escort mode new game button deleting your Solo mode save. (so sorry I forgot about checking this!)
After watching the first few people progress, I noticed everyone seemed to get stuck at the same few sections, and hopefully this patch will fix that. Added a tutorial prompt to the Temple Reception building, regarding the stretching of hands to reach farther. Moved the tutorial
After over a year and a half of development, my first commercial game is ready for publishing! 'Bunches For Bart!' will release on December 16th for a discounted $10.20 (down from 12USD); be sure to wishlist the game before then, and you'll receive an email when the game launches
