Critter Drifters is a single player retro kart-racing adventure game I've been working on this year, and is much in the vein of #DiddyKongRacing (if you couldn't tell)

Release is November 3rd, and a free demo is out now!

Made another trailer for Critter Drifters, releasing November 3rd!

I've been making a ton of progress lately but things are getting to a point where it's feeling more complete.

Oh haha 😅 well I guess I never thought about it possibly being a placeholder palette. Shows I'm not a game dev 😜

I love this monochrome color palette! Can't wait to see more Kate! 😁

I'm about halfway finished with Critter Drifters, I'd say. My goal is to release it by end of year!

It's shaping up to be quite fun as well, but I'm just a bit biased on that.

Got something exciting in the works—can’t wait to share it soon!

In the meantime, I dusted off an old unfinished track and made it weird. 😅

I’m calling this one “Star Paper,” inspired by the dreamy Shooting Star Summit from Paper Mario.

I couldn't agree and love your use of flow state when talking about the mechanics. It's always cool to see a developer get down to the basics about what makes a game fun. If you are fighting the controls or mechanics of the game constantly, it can be super off putting. Definitely feeling the cozy!!

And yes I think they should matter. I love details like that in a game. Bouncing off an enemy straight into a dive like that conserves momentum and looks very fluid. It combines movement and combat in a way that looks fun to pull off. BTW the game looks incredible. Love the way the swimming looks! 😁

I'm interested in what you mean by rewarding the player in this case. Thinking about player motivation for doing something is important. Sometimes if satisfying enough, I think doing the action itself could be rewarding enough, but I think it definitely depends on the game.

Blast from the past! One of my favorites from my first ever album.

It was the first time I felt like, “Yeah... this sounds like me.”

Spooky, moody, but still fun — like a haunted level from a 90s game.

🎧 Hope you enjoy the vibe!
