Hey friends, sorry for being a day late! Visited my hometown and didn't take my PC with me and also forgot to pre-write the update🤦 But here I am now, so let's jump into the new content!!
Alternate Title Screen🐣
As you progress through Paper Animal Adventure you'll get to unlock more and more characters to play - currently a total of 14 to be exact, and even more if you count temporary characters!
When you unlocked all permanent characters, you'll get this little achievement here:
And as soon as you'll go back to the title screen, you'll be greeted with this:
A new art piece, where all 14 of the permantly unlockable characters are sitting together at a campfire! I think it's super cute and I always liked when games have a "secret" second title screen (like in Mario Kart Double Dash for example haha)
The art was done by the amazing Kiana Mosser! She also made the normal title screen and I think both of them are super fitting for the game💪
B-Sides🎶
Each of the eight worlds offers two music pieces, one track for exploring and the Free Roam mode and one for Battle.
The floor intro already kinda foreshadowed the B-Sides, since it always shows on the bottom which tracks are gonna be played and by which composer.
During normal runs everything will stay the same as before, but as soon as you start a Rewind Run now, each area will have new music too!
I can't really show them here, but trust me, they are super cool and the composers did an amazing job! There are a total of 8 new tracks now, made by 5 additional composers:)
Bramble Abyss🌿
The Gear Shrine Depths area finally got its Rewind Run version: The Bramble Abyss!
Everything looks a bit corrupted by some eerie presence, as well as overgrown with vines and ranks.
I wanted to go for a "Castle Bleck"-vibe from Super Paper Mario:)
Chroma Skins (and C-Skins)✨
Each character had two skins to chose from: Their default A-Skin and a second, unlockable B-Skin.
With the addition of character levels I also wanted to give the player something cool as soon as they max out a character to level 10. So I added Chroma skins!
Chroma skins have shifting colors! Not all details will be affected though, since it doesn't look as nice when everything shifts colors in my opinion. In Peep's case, his hat, beak and shoes stay the same color as normally, but his body does change colors. It's a very similar effect to the ones that Rewind Bosses have!
Speaking of additional skins, I added another skin slot for C-Skins! The system is already working, but the C-Skins itself are still being made. Here's two examples!
Rebel has a very similar appearance to the Mechaling enemies from the Toy Box Tangle:)
Thanks for reading🧡
That's it for this month!
Thanks for reading this far, hope you guys enjoyed the new content! Currently still sadly working a lot on fixing stuff and non-visual things, so I can't show incredibly much, but it'll pay off💪
Take care of yourself and others and see you next month!!:)🧡
