Super Toaster X: Learn Japanese

Hey guys! This week has been mainly bug fixes for the demo but i’ve also added a charging socket so you’ll never run low on battery while you’re near one! Just whip a socket and you’ll plug right in and get a surge of energy to boost your way through to the next level!

It's a wrap! Trevor has finished his part for the kickstarter!



Hello, hello, hello!

So I said I wouldn't release a new devlog until I have a final version of the title screen but I decided to change my mind. I figured you guys must be itching for an update by now.

The title screen:
I'm currently trying to find a way to integrate siskavard's edit. I'll show you guys what I got when I get around to it. Just for fun, let's the various transitions of the title screen:

1st one, just a concept. Based on Duke Nukem.


2nd one, wanted to give it a Ninja Gaiden vibe.


3rd one, decided to go for something more simple.


4th one, decided to give more though, to have Pan sitting on a rubble of busted robots, inspiration here is Mega Man but I can't remember which one. He stand in front of a pile of destroyed robots




5th one, I decide to make the rubble smaller as it was too time consuming, I also add the main antagonist as a shadow in the background:





6th one, decide to give Pan more room and more room for the antagonist.



7th one, people complain that it was better before with the shadow and I end up being convinced. I also get comments that the screen is too empty.




8th one, tried to fix the lack of perspective and fill the dead space, reference here: Super Mario Bros 2 for the nes


I'm now at the 9th version which should be the final one (hopefully). I'm working on this suggestion made by siskavard, a fellow Canadian:



I wanted to take some time to express my appreciation for all the support I've gotten around here. I feel like it's surreal at times. I hope I can do the same for you in the future.

Regarding the name change
I'm getting suggestions from various sources for the name change.

At the moment, I'm thinking of:
Pain and Grain - by Kentona (rmn)
Mecha Toast (me)
Super Toaster X: originally a placeholder by I'm finding that I'm liking it too. Having "X" at the end of a title just makes things sound cooler (me).
Super Toaster I:  I thought something like Super Toaster I (as in the first person singular pronoun) would be nice too (me).

So that's it for now. I'm keeping a close look on the demo and the prog' at the moment to make sure everything is going smoothly. People motivation go up and down so it's important to keep in touch with them to see what happens.



Hi,

I'm back from holidays, This week we will, maybe, FINALLY finish this demo.
Levels are already done, i'm going to implant them in the last build.
Let's do this!

"Hi everyone,
I'm still working on the demo (always),
Sadly a lot of problems and difficulties slowed us.

But this week i can talk with Tyroine, the guy who will make the trailer and one of the betatester, and send to Greg more levels.
So maybe we going to see the end of this demo soon,

i hope so.
