Hey there
It`s been a while.Shortly after I released the previous title Shadow Of The Wool Ball, I immediately started making plans for it`s sequel and set myself a deadline of one year.
Since then, I went all OCD and made sure to make a tiny bit of progress almost every day (my social activities did suffer a little, I am not gonna lie^^").
And some day last week... BAM! I was finally finished with it.
Time has passed since the events of the first game. Peace has returned to Scott and Rebecca`s home planet.
Just as spring has started to bloom there, both of them awake from their hibernation slumber and start doing what they do after every winter - running happily to the nearby woods, enjoying the beautiful nature and joining some sick moshpits at their favorite metal festival after that.
But this time, their routine gets interrupted by Scott... who mysteriously disappears on their way to the woods.
Rebecca immediately starts looking for him, and not much later she comes across the reasons of his disappearance... and some familiar faces too.
But those kind of faces she never hoped to see again. Furry, green eyed faces with stubby noses. With mouths emitting a stench of canned tuna. Eew.
Their stench is not the worst thing about them, though. It`s much more their deeply sinister intentions, which are far worse than last time...

As I said at the start of the post, this is the direct sequel to Shadow Of The Wool Ball. This time, I was going more for a Rise Of The Triad-y style, which I am a big fan of. However in the end, the gameplay kinda startet to turn into its own kind of beast. I tried to expand on everything that you guys and gals liked about the first game (thanks so much for all those comments by the way, I never felt so motivated to work on something
), while removing things I found annoying in Rise Of The Triad.Also, I tried to stay as closely to the original engine limitations of ROTT as possible... which means staying all blocky with 90° walls, only having one general floor/ceiling height etc. I pretty much want the player to feel as if they just discovered an obscure 90s game, with every aspect (graphics, sounds, level design) of it being shaped by the limitations of its time and pop culture.
McWaxMax for coming up with a few awesome design and gameplay ideas (won`t spoiler here), for doing voice acting, always being there with an inspiration for creative new stuff, writing an awesome midi for one of the levels and all around being the coolest buddy ever
Almonds for being super motivating and an awesome person to talk with during development... and for drawing me three beautiful looking decorative sprites
SanyaWaffles for helping me out with countless scripting issues. This game would have taken 10 years longer without your help
Captain J for drawing these awesome explosions for SOTWB and ROTWB... I love those
