☢️I've been working more on sounds, telegraphed attacks, vocals for the boss and overall feels of the boss fight.

☢️I also started my first real demo run. I'd love to have a short demo ready for the Steam Bullet Fest, but I'm not sure I'll make it that soon.

😄 But progress on a hobby project is progress.

@karrus01 Thank you for posting this. 🫡

@Warbound_Caim Thank you!! As Sherlocks have pointed out, there are AI art placeholders, mainly the backgrounds and the capsule. That will be replaced, but please feel free to give suggestions on art, gameplay etc. I love working on this, it's fun and I'd love to improve. 😊

☢️Super early demo is out on steam! ☢️

‼️Please don't be too rough, but I'd love to hear constructive feedback, thoughts, improvements. Let me know here or on the steam discussions.

🥰 Looking for play testers. Let me know what works, what doesn't, what I should remove or add.

Is anybody else looking forward to "Light No Fire?"

@vixvibes_7 That giant clam scared the bejeesus out of me...

I can't wait for the next Subnautica 2 update!

@DannyMacFinn Yep

[Contagion Protocol - WISHLIST on Steam @contagionprotoc]

How do placeholders diminish the final product when they will ultimately get replaced? Just don't see the issue here. As for the code? Why wouldn't someone use ai to help figure out issues and help teach you. In the past, people used stack, documentation, YouTube, and Google. Now you can ask ai to help with your scripts when stuck? 🤗

@scottd4571 Oh shit. Is everything ok??

@kantallive Yes, it will be. @atichiipixels is working on it. 😊

The rest will be replaced as well. I don't have a giant budget...

[Contagion Protocol - WISHLIST on Steam @contagionprotoc]

@Smitty_Games Thanks brother. Really it is an early test... eventually I will get to where I want it to be.

[Contagion Protocol - WISHLIST on Steam @contagionprotoc]

@scottd4571 Thank you. It's super early. It is a hobby, but I'm working with the time and budget I have.

[Contagion Protocol - WISHLIST on Steam @contagionprotoc]

@ccathartistry Strange. I'll check when I'm home.

[Contagion Protocol - WISHLIST on Steam @contagionprotoc]

Game art and UI is all purchased. As mentioned in previous posts as well as devlogs and X posts, the capsule art is commissioned, and the background images will be once my budget allows it. In the meantime I keep learning. Whatever few placeholders are there will be replaced as well.

And yes, I use ai to help with code to get -> better <- or help me when I'm stuck. Who doesn't? I do have two degrees in software development. There is nothing wrong to use tools to help you improve. 🫡

[Contagion Protocol - WISHLIST on Steam @contagionprotoc]

@SmashWallGames Already have an artist working on it. But thank you!

[Contagion Protocol - WISHLIST on Steam @contagionprotoc]

@Terreezus @kantallive I selected AI art no? If it disnt stick, I'll fix that. Thanks for mentioning it!I also put it in my devlogs. You can see my reply above. I have an artist working on a pixelart capsule, and the rest will be replaced as well. 😊 Give someone with a low budget some time.

[Contagion Protocol - WISHLIST on Steam @contagionprotoc]

@kantallive Yes, it will be. @atichiipixels is working on it. 😊

The rest will be replaced as well. I don't have a giant budget...

[Contagion Protocol - WISHLIST on Steam @contagionprotoc]

@ItzJustEch0 Man I hope I don't disappoint :D I'm by no means a professional. But I am trying with the limited time I have. 😅
