Welcome to the 1st DevLog of the re-launch of our game show "Whats Wrong With You?"
In this post we want to share with you how things are currently going with the development of this fictional game show. So let's go through the topics piece by piece
DESIGN:
Since the announcement of our "Final Game Iteration" and the associated re-release, a total of 32 different 3D characters have been created. A total of over 50 are planned!
Completely squeaky-colorful animals and later pretty cosmetics for individualization will be added!
Here is a small preview of randomly selected characters in our studio:
The Local Players (up to 4 players) can always be presented in the middle before the start of a show in this case and can also choose their characters
GAMEPLAY / THE RULES OF THE GAME:.
The rules of the game are adjusted and simplified.
In short, there are still 32 players and also still 10 rounds of play.
In each game round there are questions, time limits and also winnings as well as losses in the form of points per question.
If you find all the answers, you win, otherwise you lose.
Whoever falls back to 0 points is out of the game and whoever has the most points at the end of the show wins the show.
However, after some rounds the contestants have to make a choice: Drop out or continue playing with a wild card as a reward?
BOTS.
The bots are becoming more diverse!
Not only because of the different characters, but also from the behavior and the way they interact with the game!
Accordingly, you also get different difficulty levels to give you a colorful mix of knowledge, courage and risk.
GRAPHICS:.
We are partially recycling graphics from the old version, however some new ones will be added as well.
Accordingly, new overlays will also decorate the gameplay
DISTORTION: .
While the current Steam version has no dubbing yet, but is already for the new edition of the game a complete dubbing recorded in German and this is also still translated into English. This still needs to be incorporated into the game.
CONTROL:.
Currently the game focuses on local multiplayer mode of 1-4 controllers on the same device or keyboard control in single player mode. Twitch mode has yet to be worked out in this regard.
TO-DO LIST:
The next important topics we have to work out are
- Integration of the voiceover
- Question databases & modability from outside
- Twitch chat connection
- Menu navigation / UI with keyboard & gamepad
- Character animations & studio animations
- Localization of text & audio (German & English)
- Ingame statistics & Steam connection
So you see we still have a lot to do.
But don't worry, you'll get development updates live on Twitch!

The current plan is to release the new stable version at the latest on the 2 year anniversary of the game and to make a beta version available to you at the beginning of next year.
The only thing on the way is for me as a developer still the bachelor thesis in the middle of it.
So don't be angry if it should be delayed.
Thank you for all your support, the wishlists and also to all who already buy the game now to finance the development!
