The Extras menu now has stylized buttons!
This is all I can show for now, I got too preoccupied lately

SONAR Games is now Alternative Planet!
New website is coming very soon!

[Alternative Planet (formerly SONAR Games) @AltPlanetMY]

An important announcement for all SONAR fans!
In a few days, I will be retiring the SONAR Games name and brand while preparing for Smitty 2's Steam release!

Stay tuned to this account for the next announcement revealing the new brand!

[Tetriser @Tetriserr]

It's already Sunday but still Saturday in some areas so... #ScreenshotSaturday

Changed the Dex's animation and when sounds are played, as well as changing the mini-cutscene on the teleport pad

#smitty2 #indiedev #gamedev #madewithgodot

[Tetriser @Tetriserr]

The Dripsdale Dex has been overhauled and accessible from the game + actually new skip wheel

#smitty2 #indiedev #gamedev #madewithgodot

[Tetriser @Tetriserr]

Happy birthday, Smitty and Milly! 💧🥳🎂🎉

[Tetriser @Tetriserr]

New tutorial using the new cinematic system, skippable ones too (took me a while to even get it right)

As well as the notification for new Dripsdale Dex entries

It's no longer Saturday here but #ScreenshotSaturday

Treasure! Look for these treasure capsules throughout the sectors in the game and learn more about them

[Tetriser @Tetriserr]

Comic synopsis, quickly learn the story without reading the comic cutscenes

Another progress from yesterday
Penumbra Forest's Temple of Slime is where you'll first see Amber in the game

#Smitty2 #indiedev #gamedev #madewithgodot

[Tetriser @Tetriserr]

The balloon mini-game is complete
It just needs a better results screen and of course, music and sound

#Smitty2 #indiedev #gamedev #madewithgodot

[Tetriser @Tetriserr]

Changed the way balloons appear, they now show up in group of colors, as well as new fever bar

80-point and 100-point balloons now only show during fever

#Smitty2 #madewithgodot #indiedev #gamedev

[Tetriser @Tetriserr]

Is it #screenshotsaturday?

Update on the balloon mini-game: animated backgrounds and characters!

UI is still WIP, still figuring out how the fever meter should look like

#Smitty2 #indiedev #gamedev #madewithgodot

[Tetriser @Tetriserr]

Prototyping a mini-game
It's a game where you pop balloons to rack up scores, and balloons of the same colors that are close pop along

Fever mode activates on every 1500 points

#Smitty2 #indiedev #gamedev #madewithgodot

[Tetriser @Tetriserr]

Finished this back in Saturday, but haven't shown this here yet

Cinematic sequences! And more lighting effects, yay!

We now have rainstorms in Penumbra Forest!
Tumblebushes also made their return from the first game

[Tetriser @Tetriserr]

Before I go on to work on Penumbra Forest
I'll introduce you to one of the new features in Smitty 2: The Dripsdale Dex

So far, the basic functions work quite well
