I have a friend who's very into Super Sentai, so with their help I will be able to make this a great tribute to something the US usually overlooks, rather than the sort of ill-informed parody that would actually occur in the kinds of cartoons this game is inspired by!...

I've been pretty focused on making progess, so I haven't posted for a while, sorry... drafting levels and mechanics and such. Right now though I'm circling back to Cyber 'cuz I decided it will be the new stage for this SAGE's demo. This is the "superhero team" I mentioned before, the Cyber Raiders!!

Info on level: Level name: Quest for the Holy Pail Description: Cain and Iddo are determined to go on the Dragon Twister, but lightning strikes! They're transported to an alternate medieval fantasy dimension and must complete a quest to escape. Main mechanic: Plants

I'm pretty proud of how I put the code for the stalk growing animation together - the points of the visual stalk line are backwards compared to the actual internal stalk points so that the visual stalk can "grow" upwards when a new internal point is added to the top.

Cain & Iddo: Break Week @cainandiddo.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

So, now I'm working on the level codenamed Quest - and I just finished a skeletal draft of a growing beanstalk mechanic. You throw water-based enemies at it to make it grow.

Sorry for the gap in Cain & Iddo: Break Week updates; I've been sick for the past 2 weeks and before that was getting a little burnt out over working on the Anatomy level. To try to keep on schedule, I'm gonna move working on Anatomy to the end of April, after I work on the last of the main 7 levels

Cain & Iddo: Break Week @cainandiddo.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

But it's pretty big for a flea larva, huh? Yes, I'm finally getting back to working on the level codenamed "Anatomy". Level name: Journey to the Center of the Bureaucracy Description: Cain and Iddo use Prof. Tango's shrinking craft to fix an espresso machine from inside. Main mechanic: Toggle

Cain & Iddo: Break Week @cainandiddo.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

New enemy! Placeholder graphics of course. It's a flea larva that starts out inside an egg. You can just break the egg to release it and then defeat it... but if you touch the egg itself, it gets stuck to you, slowing you down and stopping you from swapping characters. To get it off, attack or jump.

Cain is driving Santa's sleigh while Iddo drops off presents. In the back of the sleigh is Santa's bag of gifts and Santa Claus (an anthro polar bear) frozen in ice.

Also you can see my copius dev notes lol

This room introduces "clambering": jumping off the projectile before it hits a wall and re-riding it as it bounces back. It's going to be a bit difficult to teach this in a natural way, so I'll probably have a cutscene where Iddo comes up with the idea.

Cain & Iddo: Break Week @cainandiddo.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

These basic ones try to stay a certain distance from the player and will jump over pits and walls. If cornered, they jump over the player instead. After a while, they charge at the player with a kick, which is the window for you attack them! They're large enemies, so they can't be picked up by Iddo.

Cain & Iddo: Break Week @cainandiddo.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

Today I've been working on improving the AI of these enemies a bit. They're called Virites, and they're supposed to be like the generic mooks the bad guys in Power Rangers / Super Sentai have. Thus there will be other variations with different behavior as well

Level name: Power Packin' Cyber Radiers Description: Cain and Iddo get sucked into the internet by a virus and get mixed up with a superhero team. Main mechanic: Cannons

Cain & Iddo: Break Week @cainandiddo.bsky.social · 16/12/2025

And here's a room that I just blocked out today. It's a bit difficult to design a room that you traverse downwards, but I THINK I have a good idea here.

Cain & Iddo: Break Week @cainandiddo.bsky.social · 16/12/2025

New level in the works! Here's a clip of one of the rooms.

Cain & Iddo: Break Week @cainandiddo.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

I've been doing other stuff too of course - I'm working on a new level, but its mechanics aren't ready to show off yet. I also smoothed out how loading the player into rooms works.

Also yes this is in fact a non-weapon item like the putter: it's a bicycle chainwhip, they're intended for keeping the layered chain circle thing in place during repairs. Marley gives it to him.

A bicycle chainwhip. It's a small plastic slat with a rubber grip. On the side of the end is a small arc of chain followed underneath by a long dangling chain.

It's longer-range than the Club and can be flicked forwards and upwards if the button is held down, but it hinders midair movement during the attack and you need to crouch to hit smaller enemies.

Cain & Iddo: Break Week @cainandiddo.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

New feature I've been excited to actually start working on... souvenirs! For each of the main 7 levels you beat, Cain and Iddo each get souvenirs they can use as weapons. This is the Chainwhip, Cain's souvenir for The Kettle of Wishes. (1/2)

Cain & Iddo: Break Week @cainandiddo.bsky.social · 27/10/2025

Also yes the clouds going in front of the hills intentional, it both solves a little problem i had AND i think it looks cool in a surreal way befitting of this being a surreal area

Cain & Iddo: Break Week @cainandiddo.bsky.social · 24/10/2025

Implemented two things: 1st is giftcards. They're the level collectibles, there's 4 in each level. In the future you will be able to spend them on bonus content! 2nd is this little side room for one of the giftcards for The Kettle of Wishes. The environment theme will be reused for other siderooms!

First post-SAGE update (well technically its still SAGE rn but whatever) Added a map screen to the pause menu. I already had the map system programmed a while back, I just hadn't actually put it into the pause screen yet... There's supposed to be passages, but they don't work for some reason

Cain & Iddo: Break Week @cainandiddo.bsky.social · 20/09/2025

there was another bug with the end cutscene of Market Down For Later that i just fixed lol

Cain & Iddo: Break Week @cainandiddo.bsky.social · 20/09/2025

Okay, donezo. Let me know if there are any other problems

Cain & Iddo: Break Week @cainandiddo.bsky.social · 20/09/2025

Oop! There's a little bug at the end of the beach level in the new demo where the pre-mainboss cutscene doesn't play and the player skin swaps back to Cain. Working on a hotfix

110

Cain & Iddo: Break Week @cainandiddo.bsky.social · 19/09/2025

Now that I'm done with the work for the SAGE demo, I'm going to move on to working on the connecting tissue of the game. The level select, level title cards, a file select system, etc.

Cain & Iddo: Break Week @cainandiddo.bsky.social · 19/09/2025
