A Pretty Odd Bunny

I looked back on this week and I realized I worked on 3 different games at the same time. That's insane but also pretty fun.

How is it going everyone? In this devlog I tell how my work week went along. I did a lot of different things for 3 different projects, updated some, added new features to others and keep making progress on the third one. Two of these games are already available so check the video if you want to know how to play them. I also give you an update on the progress of Nekopirate my current game project.

Give the video a watch for more insight on my game development journey. I'm always grateful to have you here with me sharing this journey.

15 Minutes of A Pretty Odd Bunny 🐰 on Nintendo Switch

I can't believe it! The big N ripped off my game?
Not really 😅 but in the latest Nintendo Direct we learned there is a new Mario game coming. Super Mario Bros. Wonder. It looks fantastic and in the promo material we see Luigi using a peculiar trick with his hat. Turns out I have the exact same feature in my game Nekopirate. This felt like the perfect time to introduce the feature and to tell you how I did it in Construct 3. So check the video for a glimpse at the code for Nekopirate and some comments on the inspirations behind my game.

Are you excited for Super Mario Bros. Wonder? Let me know in the comments.
