Hello everyone, Michael here!
Here we have the State of the game for January 2026!
So, let's dig in!
Stackable Upgrades
We have a couple new Stackable upgrades joining Little Devil. With all 3 levels done, they will also work with the One Hit Wonders (like Split Personality, Mirror Shot etc)
Punch
Demon Sword
Level Scores
So, do you remember playing the old games in the 90s like Streets of Rage, Sonic the hedgehog etc and they all seemed to have a score system at the end of each level? Well... Little Devil now has that too!
I will say, don't be too alarmed by that time bonus. When I recorded this video I didn't realise I had the enemies and time bonuses switched on accident. It has been fixed since then!
Menu / Options
You may remember these menu and options from the last update. Well, I have now sorted out the functionality of it properly, allowing for the difficulty setting to modify the enemies a bit. As well as all of the gameplay options. Simple put, the menu is now fully functional! Also, I noticed that dash was missing from the controls page, so, that has been added in!
New Enemy Designs
So, we have some new enemies designed, they are not full implemented yet. I need to sort out some animations for them, then place them into the game, sort out their stats/attack patterns etc. Here are the new designs though!
Jester Demon
This is the maniacal Jester Demon! Don't let his clownish face fool you, he is not here to party!.. or maybe he is?...
Pal Demon
Despite his name, this TV demon is not your pal! He can be found in some regions of Hell but not others. He leaves the other regions to his brother..
NTSC Demon
This is Pal Demons brother, he can be found in different regions to Pal Demon and is thought to be a little bit faster.
Platform Integration
I have started work on the platform integration for Little Devil as well. Not really got any pictures for this but basically, I have created a platform integration manager to allow me to place in the Steam platform integration code etc, to access the correct saves and other information needed. As well as this, I have set this up in a way so that, if it becomes possible later, I should be able to seemlessly add in other platform integration without causing issues. Planning for the future!
This does also mean that, soon, there will be some screenshots etc going out on the social accounts directly from Steam tests of this game.. It also means I should, with any luck, be getting a private testing version of Little Devil published soon too!
I am as always, working hard on Little Devil to get everything finished and to a great standard for you all to enjoy! I post updates on my Discord and other social platforms, as well as the new Little Devil comic pages. You can find all of my links here, on my LinkTree: LinkTree So feel free to join my Discord or follow my socials, where I will post updates as well!
Have fun everyone!
