✌Hey awesome fellow Men Of Culture!
✨Thank you so much for your support and interest in my journey to bring our super epic, extra-thick, hotter-than-Sriracha Waifu Hack & Slash game - Shred & Tear, to life!
As you might already know, the main project has been ongoing for more than two years. Most of that time, I've been grinding and learning the ropes of game development. There have been a lot of ups and downs during the development. I released the Prototype Demo in 2022, but scaling it up to the main game has been way more challenging than I anticipated.
😑 Not gonna lie, Shred & Tear is an ambitious project for a near-solo dev like me, but it's not impossible. It just requires careful planning and more experience. Now, with a bit more confidence (thanks, Dunning-Kruger effect), I can finally draft out a viable roadmap for the game! Frankly, it would be a nightmare to spend 4 to 6 years working on my first game only to see it flop upon release. So, I decided to split it into manageable chunks and mini-games, each featuring a core mechanic of Shred & Tear.
🍘2024: Kajun's Lucid Room (Released):
This mini-game serves as a proof of concept for the Reward Lobby Room in Shred & Tear. Here, you can view and unlock rewards like 3D models, Kajun's costumes, wallpapers, music, etc. There's a mini-game to earn G-points to unlock items, but in the main game, you'll unlock these items mostly through combat experiences and achievements. This game is free for $5+ tier supporters.
🍘2025: Tunnel Race Mini-Game:
Remember that infamous tunnel race? It's back as a standalone mini-game! Many people complained about it, so I decided to make it a separate game to test, gather feedback, and polish it. I've revamped the entire tunnel race mechanic from the prototype demo. This mini-game will feature Saki-chan, our Shark Girl, as the playable character. More info will be updated as I work on this second mini-game in the series.
🍘2025: Combat Core Mini-game:
This will be the main chunk of Shred & Tear! It's a standalone game with a survival combat type where you'll face waves of enemies and compete to top the leaderboard. Think of it as our Gate of Hell challenge room in Doom Eternal. trophy All kinds of enemies will appear, which will later be integrated into the main game.
🍘 2026: Boss Challenge DLC:
This will be a small DLC for the Combat Core game. Boss mechanics are tricky to make interesting and epic, so this will be a separate module.Of course , all of these mini-games are free for patreoners with appropriated tier!
🍘 2027: Shred & Tear Main Game:
😤 All these mini-games are free for patrons with the appropriate tier! Your support and feedback will help me refine these games and gain the confidence to tackle the main Shred & Tear game. With all core mechanics in place, I'll focus on the story and content to make it a solid experience.
😈 Your support on Patreon and funds from selling these mini-games on Steam are much appreciated!!! 😝. They help me create more content and develop the main game. Plus, I'm backed by the amazing team at Thunder Cloud Studio for art assets and content. Every bit of financial support helps me recruit more devs on-site, creating more epic Soundtracks, cutscene etc.
