Dribble (OUT NOW!) (sequel in development!)

Assuming there were no problems with my submission, @DribbleGame should be here too!

Testing out a few new assets for @DribbleGame 2. Namely spikes, sticky surfaces, and the starts of a new enemy type. The latter needs a lot more polishing, though; will be working on that.

Worked on the animation for killing bizbots today. Held the camera still to make it easier to see.

Last thing I want to show for today is the charge shot. By tapping, holding, and then swiping, you can get an extra powerful shot. Still want to experiment further with this, so it may change a lot by the final product.

We also want to add new moves to give more advanced players room to express themselves. Here is the "triple-bounce." While playtesting the first game, people kept thinking dribbling in the same place repeatedly would make them bounce higher. Here, we're making that reality a bit.

One thing about the first game that I want to change is the health system. In the sequel, we're planning on having less health, but it can be recovered via collecting gumballs. Gumballs collected to heal won't go towards your gumball total, though. Demonstrated visually here.

So I've been working on the sequel to @DribbleGame slowly but surely. My brother is getting the groundwork done in Monogame, so in the meantime I put together a quick "visual demo" in Game Maker with the assets I've made to approximate how the game will look. Here are some gifs.

Okay, so this apparently happened yesterday on @Caddicarus's stream, and it honestly has made my week that he not only tried but also really enjoyed @DribbleGame! Almost surreal. Thanks so much, Caddy! clips.twitch.tv/KathishAbste…

Took me a while, but I finally finished this #pixelart piece! Welcome to Cinema Skies! (the closest you'll get to visiting a movie theater nowadays lol) This is a world idea I have saved up for a hypothetical @DribbleGame sequel, if we ever get to it. Dribble even makes a cameo!

A commission by @FtK_Artist of Dribble and his bouncy friends from @DribbleGame! It's fun to see another artist's interpretation of the characters :D

It's cute little email exchanges like this that remind me what I loved about game dev :') @DribbleGame

My favorite thing about @DribbleGame being free is new people playing it and writing these really nice reviews. The overall rating has gone from 4.9 to 4.4 on Google Play, but that was to be expected with a wider audience. It's these little words of kindness that count for me. :)
