Hey there,

Soooo, I randomly started working on a Workshop integration for Bacon May Die outfits and early version of it is already in the game. Play around with it and report any issues you notice or tell me about the features you'd like to see added to the outfit "manager"!


The anchor points of the pig are a bit weird, but they will have to do for now. I might add custom anchor points in the future, but don't count on that.

Few main things:

• Pig has 4 outfit slots: glasses, hat, body and neck
  
• You can publish single items or create awesome outfits from multiple parts
  
• Center of the glasses is pinned between the eyes of the pig
  
• Anchor point of the hats are at the bottom, not middle
  
• There's no way to set the depth or hide ears yet
  
• Use 128x128 image size for convenience
  
• Pig has a weird body shape, because nature isn't perfect

I will provide a vector source with more examples some time during the weekend.

Let me know if you need anything else!

Hey there,

I'm looking for someone who could draw more outfits for Bacon May Die. The main requirement would be to fit existing style (outlines, colors, size, etc), which I find to be a tricky task despite art being relatively simple. Should also be vector art, so I could edit it easily if needed. Ability to think of new items would be a huge plus! This is a paid gig.



Here's a SVG template with item examples if you'd like to play around and draw something for the pig:

Send me your portfolios to hi@snoutup.com

Cheers!

• Fixed a bug causing game to freeze in coop mode

Hello there,

Bacon May Die is finally out of the pan in a form of a completely FREE release! Hope it's crispy enough for you to have some fun smashing a bunch of weird enemies around!

You can read about my reasons for releasing game this way in a recent Steam post. In short, it would be too complicated and time consuming to substantially improve it for a premium launch and I'd rather focus on making a proper Bacon May Die sequel later. Gonna need your feedback for that!

Now, what's in store for this release? It all depends on how much time I can find to work on it, but here are a few things I have in mind for the future.

• Bug fixes and balance tweaks depending on feedback
  
• Fixing hitboxes of a few annoying hard-to-hit enemies (hedgehogs, bats)
  
• Adding more Steam achievements
  
• Improving coop mode
  
• Workshop integration for character outfits

Let me know what you think!

Cheers!

Hey there,

not sure if anyone can see this, but I hope you can! So, here's the thing.. After delaying Bacon May Die for ages I came to a conclusion that I'd like to release it in the current state for free. There are a few reasons for it...

• No time to work on it due to other projects
  
• Bacon May Die code is old and terrifies me
  
• No confidence if players like its control scheme

However, I realize that this game can be pretty cool and one day I would like to maybe start working on a sequel... So, a free release would be beneficial, since I would get plenty of feedback on controls and gameplay as well as some audience for the next game.

Even the free release would likely to get some achievements, bug fixes and maybe Steam Workshop integration for outfits if I'll find time for that.

Alternatively, I can slap a $1-2 price tag, mostly so I could add Trading Cards (free games can't have them), but that might greatly impact potential audience reach.

What do you think?

Cheers!

What year is this? Good news is that game is still alive, but bad news is that, obviously, it is not getting closer to actual release very fast. But we'll get there, I promise!

This update, while doesn't introduce any significant content additions, is important, because I developed a story framework (quests, traveling between areas, better controlled enemy spawns) I would like for you to test!

So, a few new major changes:

• Short story mode to test!
  
• New item selection UI which doesn't require "ENTER" or "SPACE" presses
  
• Experimental power move usage
  
• A lot of smaller changes and improvements

Current power move usage: HOLD up and press LEFT, DOWN or UP (again) to use a special attack. I find it better than previous combo-based system, but this one is too slow and clunky for my taste, so I will try to think of something else to use.

Story mode doesn't have saving yet, but it's very short and easy to finish.

New item selection isn't available with medic. pet or pilot yet.

Hopefully, the gap between updates will get much shorter now!
