📢Development Update!📢

Another part of the battle system is finished - finally, all the death & revive animations are completed! This time, instead of a generic crystal, a special rejuvenating balm is the item needed to wake your friend back up.

Two panels, the first of a person holding a sign that says "Your music saved me" in a crowd while holding a phone. The bottom panel is the Deedly Dees band from Kirby and The Forgotten Land.

We first planned for the demo to release on September, though right now it's clear we underestimated just how much development will be needed for it, it's not even close to finished. We'll probably be done with it halfway through next year.

...but given Silksong's release, maybe that's a good thing

Holy shit I just found this project
Yes I would like some more M&L in my life

We're finally back in action! And with a new bit of progress: enemies can now be hit on the overworld, and the battle transitions have a little jingle leading into the battle theme! There's also one if you're the one that gets hit, but we'll let you discover that one yourself in the game.

Addendum! While playing through Brothership, there was one joke that reminded me of something else. It was the same joke, executed similarly, only I had a much different reaction. Why the difference? Is it simply because it happened in a game I wasn't fond of?

Random-ish enemy formations!

Thanks to the help of our incredible discord community, Tara and Vyn now have their own little spot in Wplace!
If you'd like to come and add anything in the space that's available, go to wplace.live?lat=35.97238... and add in your own Varminal doodles around our big mural!

been a few months since i got a dream job opportunity of a lifetime then proceeded to fuck it all up
man im still not really over it idk if i'll ever be
probably should take "composer looking for work" out of my bios until i learn how to actually fucking work

Another bit of progress, getting poisoned and all animations accompanying that are implemented again. As well as different portraits and health icons to match! Little touches we hope will give more charm to the UI.

In between us adding and re-implementing other animations and features, we finished both characters' item using animations. Now they can throw them to each other, just like before, and also have a new animation for drinking stuff! Just to add that little bit of extra charm.

Tara's Jump counter has been re-implemented as well, but now with new animations! In the old beta, we just reused the regular jump sprites, but Paro wanted to go the extra mile, and we think it was worth it - stomping the enemies feels more satisfying than ever! #indiegame #marioandluigi #indiedev

With a new art style and more skill on the team, we were finally able to finally make the menus according to the first concept behind them - now Plink displays every option, not just the move icons! A small diegetic touch to tie UI and the game world a little. #varminal #indiegames #indiedev

Mannn I really wanna finish this old fan game I was trying to make a long time ago when I got more free time

With the base overworld mechanics close to being fully implemented, we're ready to finally start revamping the battle system as well! Here's a look at some new animations, new UI, and new.. well, everything!
(though the background is currently just a placeholder.)

[🔊Sound on!]

Gamers,

WOKE KONG

Another move has been fully implemented! As we've said earlier, as the replacement for Mario & Luigi's bros. moves, Plink will transform into various tools for our heroes to use on the overworld. Here's the first one you'll receive in this game - the Plinkoline!

As our way of adapting Mario & Luigi's field actions, Plink the robot will transform into different tools for Tara & Vyn to use! Furthermore, replacing the Mini Mario ability, you'll be able to control Plink on his own! We hope his level segments and unique abilities will be a fun change of pace.

Everyone please play this game it's so good and it's sooooo worth the money trust me
9,8/10 game, life-changing stuff here
