Hey! Today we’d like to share with you some new insights about the upcoming Chapter II of the VR game Sugar Mess - Let’s Play Jolly Battle. We will dedicate this DevLog to new enemies in the game.

The enemies take the form of various cakes, each with different shapes and colors in the Chapter I of Sugar Mess - Let’s Play Jolly Battle. They are relentlessly attacking the main hero throughout the gameplay. These cake mobs hurl candies and snowballs, posing a threat to the Prince, the player character, and diminishing their health as well.



The cake mobs in the game follow consistent patterns - they shoot and fly towards the main character, the player. There are different types of cake mobs:

• Round cake, doughnut, flies and shoots at the player.
  
• Pink cake flies and shoots at the player
  
• Violet cake runs on the ground, flies, and shoots at the player
  
• Purple cake, the longest one, stays on the ground and shoots, appearing and hiding from different sides.

However, not all mobs attack the player - there are also helpers. Round flying cakes are ready to come to the rescue in difficult times. They take out a first aid kit from their backpack, helping the prince heal himself.

The cake mobs feature fresh skins on the challenging 10 levels of the Chapter II, offering players a completely new gaming experience. In addition, the enemies become even stronger and more agile.

Hello everyone!

Long time no see 🙂
Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year!

Meanwhile, we worked hard on our two upcoming projects: Tinkerlands and its prologue - A Shipwrecked Adventure. And now, in our second monthly (well, not really monthly, but we will try to keep to that schedule!) devlog, we want to share some updates with you!

Let's get started!

Updated Visuals and UI

The most significant improvement is the art style. We've received a lot of feedback from the Reddit and Twitter communities, and we've taken some notes on how to make the game look great!

Let's take a look at some of the changes to the overall art style and UI:

Gameplay Changes

We also started to make the gameplay more complex and the walkthrough more complicated (not a grind wall, don’t worry!)

We decided to create some conditions to go to other locations but in a logical & more realistic way. For example, you will need to wear special light clothes for the Desert adventure. Otherwise, you will get some hallucinations and the sun can heat your head!




Or another example: don't have warm clothes? You're not going to like the Snow Forest biome, because it's really cold out there!

First Steps into the Online

And we have some brand new stuff about the online mode! Let's have a look at the WIP video examples:

And some bonuses!

A new way to move around the Tinkerland world quickly - the Hook!
And yes, you can also do the GET OVER HERE thing with it :)



That's it for now, folks!
We've got a lot of work to do :)
Thank you for your attention <3

See you in a month (or more)!

Cheers,
The CodeManu Team

Description
Tristan Lamprey is a rogue, a cheat, an aspiring artist, and a failed magical apprentice... And he’s on the run from the dread Archmage Xargoth! The Archmage has vowed to hunt him down and punish him for deflowering his beautiful daughter, Princess Sumita. Luckily for Tristan, he has been magically teleported to the hinterlands of the kingdom: the tiny riverside mining village of Sinners Landing. There he's determined to make a new life for himself, ingratiate himself with the locals, and have a really, really good time.





Development
Flexible Media started the development of Sinners Landing in 2023. Hints and teasers of the game have been shared to the Paradise Lust community on Discord during early development, and an alpha version of the game is currently available to Flexible Media supporters on Patreons and Subscribestar. The team is updating this build near-monthly, much as they did with Paradise Lust.



Gameplay
Sinners Landing is a humorous and sexy 2D Card-Battler/RPG adventure. Playing as Tristan, a rogue magician's apprentice, the player romances the beautiful girls of the village, builds skills and abilities, and uses them to fight through a roguelike-style dungeon using a card-battling mechanic. Each crawl into the dungeon is different, with an ever-expanding world of choices, monsters, and combats.





Features

• Fully animated sex scenes with over a dozen different women.
  
• Puzzles and challenging subgames.
  
• Replayable dungeon adventures.
  
• Expanded combat system.
  
• Deckbuilder.
  
• Storybased gameplay.

Good day mates. January 26th is Australia’s national day! This date coincides with the anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet on the coast of the continent, which proclaimed these lands as the territory of the British Empire. This day is celebrated with concerts, festivals and awards for the year’s most outstanding Australians.

• The Boomerang Mk.II is only available to purchase if you already own the Boomerang Mk.I, and the Boomerang Mk.I and A.C.IV are available at a 25% discount!

• The Boomerang Mk.II is an excellent aircraft for ‘turn’ dogfights: although it’s not very fast, in terms of maneuverability, few aircraft at its rank can compete with it. Its 20 mm Hispano cannons have a modest amount of ammo, but its 7.7 mm Browning machine guns have 1,000 rounds of ammunition per barrel. In addition to this, the Boomerang Mk.II can carry 2 x 250 lb bombs for attacking ground targets. Devastating!

• The A.C.IV features a 76 mm 17-pounder cannon that is capable of firing AP, APC and the great APCBC shell. This coupled with its 48 km/h speed allows it to give good account in battles and take out most opponents, making it a fantastic all-rounder Australian tank!
