Got a simple one for everyone today:

• Treasure map pieces can now rarely be caught while fishing
  
• Treasure Map Tier 20-30 has a couple (2) of new items added
  
• Treasure Map Tier 30-35 has multiple (5) new endgame items added
  
• There is a new NPC in Port Azure in the Slums who has an offer to make for your treasure maps

That'll do it for tonight!

Dear Friends of the Game,

The DEMO version of Toy Fight will be officially taken offline on May 20, 2025. We believe that we will soon bring you the news of the official version's launch! Please keep an eye on the updates regarding the official version!

DISCORD：https://discord.gg/v59S3SX3gZ

Hello! Thank you for your interest in Bug Bait! As our demo has now been released, we have created a rough outline for what we want to start working towards over the next few updates! 01 is pretty general and already in the works. It involves some QOL features and backend improvements. 02 is making the game feel more complete and replayable, with maps, bosses and features! 03 is still very up in the air, with things we have talked about and would like to add to the game (but don't hold it against us if it doesn't make the final cut). If you have any suggestions, be sure to let us know. We hope you are looking forward to more Bug Bait content!

As a side note join our discord for discussions and bug facts hehe :^)

Ahoy mateys, welcome Below Deck!

This month we’re chatting to an important member of the small Cass Bay Games team, character artist Nik Scarr! We’re excited to share a bit more about Nik and his awesome contribution to the game.

Nik has not only been responsible for the rendering of character sprites, but also the concepts and designs of many of the weird and wonderful characters in the game. He’s injecting so much personality Davy Jones’ Deckhand, and we’re blessed at Cass Bay Games to be constantly surprised by Nik’s inventiveness.





I originally trained and worked as a structural engineer, which was a safe financial decision but was ultimately unsatisfying. I changed course and studied art and animation which so far has been a lot more creatively fulfilling.


I am always looking to improve my skills as an artist. There are a lot of very talented artists out there, and when I see the incredible work they are producing, it motivates me to work harder. I am a visual thinker and am inspired by all kinds of visual media including comics, anime, games, movies and TV shows. I plan on improving my skills to the point where I am able to produce my own games and animations to a very high standard, and anything that gets me closer to that reality is a step in the right direction.


My most recent personal project was a new 2D animation reel featuring a strange combination of characters including Waluigi, and Ellie from The Last of Us.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM4L1IcnTPE

Another project I am very proud of is my 2D platform browser game “The Captain”, a project I made as an animation student in 2019.

Link to the itch page: https://nws92.itch.io/the-captain


I am a serious introvert. I work from home on a desktop PC with a drawing tablet and two monitors. I like to listen to podcasts or music while working.


The art style that Ben and Tepene wanted to utilise for Davy Jones’ Deckhand was very much within my skillset, that is, 2D digital art in a cartoonish classic comic book style, with black outlines and simple colours. I also am a big fan of the pirate genre. I had been looking for opportunities to break into video game art, and this project felt like the perfect fit. It’s exciting to think about my art being featured in a great game that will be played by a lot of people.


I have really enjoyed designing the enemies for DJD. I have been given a lot of creative freedom during this process which has been fantastic. I get to design characters of all different shapes and sizes, taking inspiration from all over the place. The Biologist and the Strongman are a couple of my personal favourites.




While studying animation we had a class that required us to make a simple browser game. I made a pixel art style platform game about an undead pirate called “The Captain”. This was unexpectedly one of my favourite student projects to work on, and it really stoked my interest in working on art for games.


Anyone can do this. If you want to develop art skills you just have to put in the practice hours. For me, the most effective way to practise is by working on long projects that have a clear end goal, so that every time I work on them, I am practising the skills I want to improve, just by default. I stay motivated by picturing the finished product. For example, as a hobby I really enjoy drawing comics, which can take weeks or months to complete, but the only way to finish them is by doing hundreds of drawings.
Pick a project that interests you, and then just do your best to finish it to the best of your abilities. Ideas are cheap, what matters is execution. There is tremendous value in finishing a project, even if no one sees it. This will train your brain to believe that you can get anything done if you put the time in. Also, the more projects you finish, the more likely it is that you will produce a body of work that will be seen and enjoyed by prospective clients and employers.


To just stay on the Nik train a little while longer, we’re going to give you a sneak peek at our first cinematic cut scene. Nik has been storyboarding the game’s introductory scene that sees our carefree protagonist's naval ambitions dashed by a brutal pirate attack—launching players straight into the tutorial, armed with nothing but a mop!




We are working towards yet another playtest very soon! This time we’ll be running it through Steam and even include Steam achievements. If you’ve already signed up for playtesting you’ll get an email with a Steam key once we are ready. If you haven’t signed up yet and would like to, you can do so here: Playtest sign up form

The new playtest will include achievements, new status effects, several new artefacts and enemies, and some lovely polish and quality of life improvements.

Working On Adding New Models
-Setting up the animations as - they were - before the Tiny Time Stamp FrameWork research.

Then I will move onto - loading 1 enemy at least, and using it with the minerals resource,
to set up the UI - for integrating the link system for- crypto and to setup and test the Blockchain.

This should take a while - but my 2 concerns are (Moving Forward)
1 Loading A Bunch of Characters (having good frames when that happens)
2 Setting Up the game so I can push Web3 content


-The environment will still be unfinished (for now) -a lot of things will be
(But I have all of this documented)

-Please remember - Human male - Barbarian class - you character should be lvl 10 if you
are loading into the game world.
You can try - if you are completely new to this project - lvl 1 -
I added the zone model for lvl 1 game play but I am not sure if the collision etc work - I didn't
get to that part.

-Animations for Abilities
All 5style abilities for the human-male have been integrated
The character will be fully customizable - but I have to focus on other things,,,
Just want to set the basics up and see how it looks.

- Character Customization -
The character feet are now equipped with a basic customization asset.

This is a test for character customization - which will be updated with the User Interface (UI)
at some point during development.
