Hey everyone!
This is my first devlog here on the Steam community. I've been posting these on IGB's own subreddit for quite some time already, but I felt the Steam audience who may not be on Reddit should see the progress we're doing, too! So I may begin posting devlogs here as well to keep you all posted.
Anyways:
Just 12 more days until IGB releases now! It's slightly scary, but I'm also very excited! Until then I'm still trying to prepare the game.
First off, I've added a Random button on the character select! It hasn't been heavily requested, but some have mentioned it. Regardless, you can use it as you please. Maybe you just don't know who to choose, or you want to leave it up to luck?
Or maybe you'll want to set the CPU as random to let the system take care of choosing your opponent instead of setting it yourself every match? Regardless, it's super useful and a fun feature! And anything that helps fill up the CSS is a good thing, eh?
Also, I've counted the amount of characters the game will have on release. Once the game is out on the 30th, we will have 14 characters available! Some may be in WIP stats, but all of them should be finished enough to be free of errors and have at least most of their moveset available and ready!
We may get 15 if Crow were to become finished in time too, however. But no promises on that; currently the goal is to ready up The Kid and Salad Fingers, as they are our newest additions. And any other preparations we'd like to do.
In addition to this I've also filled in a page on the game's wiki! This is probably the place to find out info about the game's characters. I've only written about Matt's moveset so far when writing this, but we hope to fill in more.
Of course, as it is a wiki, the community may research characters and assist on filling things in as you please! Though, some of it may be a bit difficult before the 30th.
However, for those interested, you can find IGB's own wiki here:

That's all for now, though. Until next time!
