<==================================>

Hey people!

We're just about ready to make Itch our main posting site. We'll be increasing our posting rate here by tenfold, so be sure to follow the page if you're interested in extra behind-the-scenes content and updates!

In the meantime, here's a rundown of what's been done and what to expect soon...

WASD Controls added!

This is the first big thing we're showcasing because it will be such a big deal in the long run. In the demo version of the game, you are only able to use the arrow keys. While that's convenient, we're noticing that not everyone is used to this scheme. Thus, we have reworked the entire code to allow any keys to be used for directional input! This opens up the possibility of full remapping in the future.

For now, the ability to switch to WASD is readily available in the settings! With this option, Player 1's controls will become WASD. In the upcoming two-player mode, the control scheme not used will be given to the second player. What second player, exactly? That's the next thing we'll be covering!...

Future Chapters will include Co-op!

Starting with Chapter 2, the entire game will be playable with two players locally. One controls Henry, and the other controls Ellie. Explore the map, fight Toppats, whatever! The game will remain in two player mode. We're currently working on revamping the UI to make co-op gameplay a fun (and quite chaotic) experience! We'll certainly keep you posted on this. And now, for what's coming soon...

A QnA YouTube video will be posted within the next week (or so)!

A few weeks ago, I gave the Scratch community about 2 days to give me their most insane questions, game-related or not. And they absolutely delivered.

I (@DistractionsDaily) will be using my IRL voice to answer about 50 questions in an upcoming YouTube premiere. These questions range from game design, to StickMINI specifically, to random fun facts about life. This will be announced again a couple of days before it happens so you can bookmark it!

(you can see what was asked HERE)

Of course, there's something else in store as well... 🤫
