Patch 1.019

Ultra Cop - VrystaatMan

Hey guys

It's been a little while, decided to post a quick update.

Mostly to prove I'm still alive and haven't walked away indefinitely.

I wouldn't abandon any games I've released, ain't about that life.

So if there's ever any radio silence for some time then something's probably wrong lol

Changelog:

Added the option to have non-gibbed enemy bodies stay
Added the option to have non-gibbed human enemies always ragdoll

It's not a huge one, granted, but there were requests for these so why not?

Updates and shit

Ultra Cop Content

Apologies for how long the big updates are taking.

I know you guys have WAY better stuff to be doing anyways, and no one's sitting around waiting for Ultra Cop updates, but I feel guilty for not keeping you guys in the loop.

The way I do level creation takes an ungodly amount of time, my fault obviously, but it looks better that way in the end.

I'm gonna release the first 2 of the 4 mission maps the moment they're done, just to keep the content flowing, instead of waiting until all are completed. After that the 2 survival maps, then the cosmetic stuff.

Next Game shit

One of the reasons the Ultra Cop updates are slower, is because I have this existential worry about not releasing more new games.

Makes me feel like a proper knob, I'll tell ya what.

I have been making prototypes and quick idea projects to figure out how to lessen the amount of time it takes to make smaller games that are fun but won't take forever to create.

There's no silver bullet, unfortunately.

Especially if you're retarded like me.

The Saturn's Gaze and Twisted Metal-like projects have been constantly reconfigured or restarted since I've told you guys about it.

ALL MY FAULT OBVIOUSLY

In fact I'm gonna make my life harder and show some of it here so we can all laugh at it together, proving that I have in fact been wasting precious life hours making shit that no one will ever care about ːsteamthumbsupː

The first from the video is the car combat prototype, had to figure out how to emulate the Twisted Metal style controls. Didn't exactly succeed, but it's close enough and responsive.

The second prototype is the stealth game that would have been part of Saturn's Gaze, where you control a cheerleader that's been kidnapped and placed in an environment where demons are hunting you and you gotta use items and sneak. FPS Booba was inspired by Jurassic Park: Trespasser.

The idea is there's traps and demons that would kill you horribly and the screenshot with the tiles is where you get to see the gruesome event as a cutscene. Sick I know, would would make something like that?

Third is a fast-paced action prototype in the style of PS1 era cel shading, specifically from the game, Slap Happy Rhythm Busters. In fact i modeled and painted the player character according the the style of that game to a tee, that's how much i vibed with it.

Don't know if anyone would rather prefer this one be developed further though.

And yes, booba.

I will have booba in my games if i can help it (not a gooner lol)

[carousel autoadvance="true"]

[/carousel]

Really wonder why I even bother sometimes, can probably fill a graveyard with all the uncompleted and forgotten projects.

I know that's just how things are, but it sucks man lol

Anyways I'll stop bitching and moaning out the ass.

Next update will hopefully be more positive and less lame ːsteamthumbsupː

Dwarf Legacy joins Steam Next Fest!

Dwarf Legacy - Wulo

Reading time: 5 minutes

🛠️ Dwarf Legacy Joins Steam Next Fest: A Dream One Year in the Making! 🛠️

Greetings, Dwarffolk!

Exactly one year ago, I opened the Steam store page for Dwarf Legacy with more doubt than hope. In a world of hyper-realistic graphics and AAA titles, I wasn’t sure if a pixel art, 2D platformer had a place in 2025. Would anyone care?

Today, I finally have my answer.

I’m thrilled (and a bit emotional) to announce that Dwarf Legacy is part of Steam Next Fest – June Edition! And with it comes something truly special: a one-time demo event unlike anything before!

🎮 The Demo: Not Just a Taste, a Challenge

For Steam Next Fest, I’ve created a special edition of the Dwarf Legacy Demo just for you.

🪓 7 Bonus Levels: Each crafted with love and grit, these levels are completely exclusive to Next Fest.
🕗 1 Level Unlocks Each Day: Starting Day 1 of the Fest, a new bonus level will unlock daily. Come back every day to discover all of them!
🔥 Limited-Time Only: At the end of June these 7 levels will be gone forever. No re-releases. No second chances. Forever lost in the depts of The Mountainhome.

This is your one shot to test your skills as a true Dwarffolk warrior and carve your name in the forge of legends.

🧵 Join the Forge: Community & Challenges

Are you stuck on a level? Want to share tips or just brag about a flawless run? Join the Dwarf Legacy Discord and meet fellow Dwarffolk rising to the challenge. I'm there too, watching, cheering, and sharing behind-the-scenes thoughts during the Fest. As a solo dev, your feedback, reactions, and support mean the world to me.

As a bonus, you will be able to claim unique Discord Ranks to gain access to locked Discord Channels with bonus content, early updates and backstage development stories!

⛏️ From One Pickaxe to Many

Dwarf Legacy is not just a game. It’s my journey. A solo endeavor carved pixel by pixel, driven by passion, and finally reaching a community who believes in it as much as I do. So pick up your axe, Dwarffolk. Let’s make this Fest one to remember. 💥

See you in the mines,
– Wulo, The Developer of Dwarf Legacy

Early Access Release Date Announcement!

Loki's Revenge - owlgamedev

It's official - Loki's Revenge launches in Early Access on June 23, 2025!

Here are some key details:

The game will be 1.99 at launch, with a 7-day discount of 10% for early players
There will be a bit more content than the current demo version - some new boons and achievements, some balance tweaks, etc.
It will support Steam Cloud Saves at launch, with Steam Achievements coming soon
When the full game releases, the demo will be taken down. It's difficult to maintain both versions of the game as a solo dev, and I don't want players to play a very outdated version of the demo when the game is much farther along.
My goal is to update the game at least on a monthly basis with new content, but that will depend on what needs to be added
As the game gets bigger and heads toward 1.0, the price will increase. I'm not 100% sure on the final price, since it will depend on the final content, which will depend on player feedback. The goal is to thank players who jump in early by having a reduced price. Whenever a price increase is coming, I'll give plenty of heads up and be very clear about it.

I'll continue to post announcements here as new details and plans become clear. Until then, enjoy the new Next Fest demo with Odin now playable until launch!
