We have decided to close the game, thanks to everyone how played and supported the game.

Everyone who has the game can still use it with no limitations

The following changes are being pushed to the game:
Visual Rework

• Doubled the frame rate for all hand drawn pixel art throughout the game
  
• Added damage numbers to all attacks
  
• Adjusted and optimized lighting throughout the game
  
• New loading screen optimizations and restyling
  
• New achievement adjustments and changes
  
• All secondary weapons have been given new visual effects

Rebalancing

• Rebalanced 2 player gameplay
  
• Adjusted Chewie & Chewella's jumps and dashes
  
• More than halved recovery time
  
• Doubled dash animation speed
  
• Doubled recovery animation speed
  
• Sped up dash startup animation speed by around 30%
  
• Shortened the delay at the start of dash
  
• Changed dash speed and velocity falloff over time
  
• Boss rebalancing and difficulty tweaking based on player analytics
  
• Doubled speed of Critter Cannon projectiles
  
• Buffed damage from 30 to 40 for the Critter Cannon

Hello!

Greetings from Lima, Perú once more. It has been a long while. This is Jorge, director of Tunche, ready to write the second to last devlog entry, which is also the last one for myself. Time does fly when you are busy.

Anyway, as most of you know, Tunche is reaching its release date. This also means the team is working extra hard on everything that might still be missing or that might need some extra polish time (which one can never have enough of)

In the middle of all this craziness, I want to take a few minutes to let you know what we were (or are) working on during these last few months of development as the game inches slowly towards its fans’ hands.

Without any further introductions, let’s start with the news:

Narrative System

A few months ago we released a devlog titled “The World of Tunche” in which I talked about the game’s story and its characters, and one of the things we spent a lot of time on during the last months of 2020 was making sure this story reaches the players.



Since Tunche is a rogue-lite game, the player will get stronger little by little until they can complete the whole game in one go. That means we expect the player to do many runs through the game until they are ready to defeat the final boss.

That also means we cannot expect to tell the whole story in a linear fashion and so we had to use a couple of special narrative resources. The first one is the “Story Room” which I already explained in the previous devlog and the other one is the use of our NPCs

Every time you go into the jungle and find a story room or manage to defeat a new boss, you will meet certain non-playable characters that will tell you more about what is going in the jungle and what Tunche’s role in all of this is.

This way, while each character’s story is fleshed out using Story Rooms and Lore Comics, the game’s main story will always be present in your runs. No matter if you choose to play as just one character or decide to level all of them up, you’ll still get to experience the central plot.

Graphical Polish

Those of you who played our latest demo, or our backer beta, already know Tunche is not entirely a 2D game. Our game uses a 3D world and 2D assets moving around it. This allows us to not only use Unity’s 3D collision detection, but also graphical effects that wouldn’t work as well in a flat environment.



However, with good comes the bad, and some of our older effects and sprites didn’t work quite well with the new 3D world. Lights and shadow especially proved to be quite tricky when it comes to working correctly on our flat sprites and effects.

Fortunately, after spending some time working on it, Tunche is looking better than ever.

New UI

One last change I want to mention, and maybe one of the biggest in the last few months, is our new UI. Thanks to the hard work of our graphic designer, Tunche’s user interface is far crispier and goes a lot better with the rest of the game’s visual style.

Using vibrant colors and clever information positioning, every interface in Tunche has been remade into something that we can be as proud of as the rest of our art assets. From the HUD (the heads up display showing each character’s life, mana, etc) to our dialog box and to each and every one of our NPC stores have been remade into something far prettier than before.



Even our “Pause Menu” has been redone completely and now sports a more dynamic look showing off our characters. I must also mention that each one of these interfaces come with an “opening” and “closing” animation so they won’t just appear on the screen, but make a grand entrance every time they are required by the player.

With all this said, there is still a lot of work to be done. Some systems still need a bit of tweaking, some art pieces need a bit of polishing and some pesky bugs still like to lurk around our code.

Our job isn’t finished yet, but we will keep on working as hard as we can during these last few months to make sure all of you get to play the best version of Tunche once the launch date is upon us. It has been a long hard road and many years of waiting, developing, and testing.

Before I wrap this devlog entry up, I just want to ask you to wait for the game just a little longer. Everyone at LEAP Games loves this project very much and we want to make sure that, once you get to play the final version, you will love it too.

We'll see you soon!
Stay safe.

Hi Grims! Oak here. Our should I say.. Olá!

We're thrilled to announce that we have our first community translation ready to be relased into the world, in Brazilian Portuguese!



I'd like to extend my utmost gratitude to Alec Santos who has spearheaded the entire thing and helped us out in so much more than just the translation. I think it's safe to say that this translation would not have happened without you, Alec, and we're eager to share your work with the world!

We've also included a few bugfixes here and there, but nothing major to report. I would like to think that this is our most stable version of the game to date, BUT.

But.

In case it isn't, please feel free to post about bugs, glitches and issues in our community boards here or in our Discord! You can also join on-going community localization efforts if you would like. It's completely voluntary, and we really appreciate all the help we can get. Hopefully Brazilian Portugese is just the first of many additional languages to join the fray!

We have tested the Brazilian Portugese build, and polished what we could see, but there are bound to be issues we haven't seen yet. If you do find any, don't hesitate to reach out and we'll do our best to fix them ^_^

And if not, yay!

ALSO!

To commemorate our inching closer to the 1 year date (5 days from now, on the 20th of February), we're throwing up a weeklong sale till 22nd February starting RIGHT MEOW. We're taking the game to a historic -50% off, which I hope can convince y'all to take the plunge... and become a Grim Reaper. Every copy you buy goes straight to the people involved in making the game! ^_^

That's it for now. But there will be more! We are looking to host a giveaway to commemorate the joyous occasion with some never-before-seen merchandise and we also have some more exciting news to share going into the weekend.

Stay tuned! Like? Subscribe? Follow? I'M NOT SURE. ANYWAY, I'M RAMBLING AGAIN.

As always... much love! <3

Hello, friends!

We are very proud to announce that a new


is now available to everyone! And if you haven’t bought the game yet, now is the perfect time with the 30% off sale!


Follow our two old friends on Valentine’s day, and see them transform into a pair of cuddly lovers!

There are 14 new original artworks available, with three full-length animations to boot! We also tried experimenting with the story structure, so while there are less branches in this one, each path is now much lengthier.



The story mode should come with the next update, but right now let us announce






Releasing in May, it’s going to switch focus to the M/F pairings, but it’s still going to feature fully original artwork, custom-made animations, and multiple fun, raunchy stories!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1532770

If you’re more of an M/M type of person, don’t worry, we are not giving up on the Shades of Gay series, and we’d like to expand the scope for the next installment, adding new mechanics, and maybe even a meta-game layer with some RPG mechanics.

But for now, we need to make sure that our coffers can support the extended development, and the best way to help us in that would be to wishlist our new game and tell you friends (and enemies, if you'd like) about it!

Thank you for your attention!

With love,
Felix
