The 7 cries of "Merdeka", the moment Malaysia went independent today, 69 years ago! Happy Malaysia Independence / National Day from Smitty and his friends at Alternative Planet!

Smitty (from Smitty's Journey and Smitty 2), Buildy (from Grid Swarm) and Indigo (from the unannounced side project, Shatter Islands) raising their hand as they cry the word "Merdeka" 7 times, imitating the signal of independence back in 1957 by Tunku Abdul Rahman

Prototyping a mini-game It's a game where you pop balloons to rack up scores, and balloons of the same colors that are close pop along Fever mode activates on every 1500 points #Smitty2 #indiedev #gamedev #madewithgodot

More than a month later, Smitty 2 is finally back in development, sorry for the wait, folks Anyway, exploding mushrooms, or Mushbooms if you prefer, are scattered throughout Penumbra Forest, so make sure you have enough wiggle room

Just one more sector to work on, and this will be the most important piece in the puzzle Anyway, readable signs made their return from the first game, and to add some visual flair, sectors that lead to boss sectors will feature a darker atmosphere #Smitty2 #indiedev #gamedev #madewithgodot

Originally planned to make these ghost fellas the enemies you can't defeat, but decided to make them Smitty's... accidental assists instead Yurelumi (species name) can illuminate the pitch black darkness of caves and tightly closed areas

More update on the buttons for #screenshotsaturday: They can also work like how they were back in Smitty 1 But instead of moving rectangles, you got emerging platforms (cuz the entire terrain was a bunch of tiles back in the first game) #Smitty2 #indiedev #gamedev #madewithgodot
