Of the 6 levels left, 2 have pretty new mechanics, 4 are closer to level one mechanics with new enemies, bosses, and graphics.

Probably will add some screens shots to the upsell screen. The attract mode does play 2 more levels that you cannot access during the demo if the user choose to watch.

Planning to have the full level 1 (of 6) playable, then a demo upsell screen at the end plus replacing the normal story with some funny meta talk about the demo. Feels like its enough to give people a real taste without spoiling the full experience.

Unclear if we're allow to talk about dates, etc for future Steam events but we will say it is one of them coming up in the near future.

We do plan to have it in an upcoming Next Fest. Probably won't release the demo until then.

funinfusedgames.bsky.social @funinfusedgames.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Not going to set a release date yet, but we're pretty confident that #PlatinumKill will be released in the next 1 to 4 months bringing to end a years long journey.

We're going to release a demo of #PlatinumKill in the next few weeks. Exact date TBD. Trying to drive up engagement and wish lists before doing the full #Steam release in the next few months. #GameDev #IndieDev #RetroGaming

One of the more interesting #GameDev ideas we came up with in #PlatinumKill is the implementation of AI / helper characters. They're controllers just like a keyboard or a gamepad. The AI controller can assess what is going on in the game and then it presses buttons to move, shoot, etc.

The enemies constantly spawn from screen edges (more from in front than behind)... there's frequently 2 plus but it in certain situations, the AI is stopping to shoot vs moving forward, so probably just need to ensure if AI has been stationary for a bit, charge forward for a bit to break the cycle.

Updated the cat boss in #PlatinumKill so that its wave shots destroy the player's shots. Planning to look back thru the game and see if other enemy shots make sense to do this with too... like the Sun Boss lasers. #GameDev #IndieDev #RetroGaming #PixelArt #MonoGame

The AI is very dumb... If there's an enemy close, it stops to shoot them. That's the issue... enemies keep getting close before the player has to move if they end up stopped in the exact right spot. Probably will do something if AI is stationary too long, it'll push forward regardless.

No, was using CoPilot to make some changes and it introduced a weird caching pattern that was causing things to draw for split seconds in the wrong place when cache wasn't updated correctly. Tore all that out, wasn't really buying us anything and didn't ask for it in the first place.

funinfusedgames.bsky.social @funinfusedgames.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

The levels aren't complex enough that pathing needs to be much more than "move right". The most glaring issue ATM is AI getting stuck in one spot and not moving forward as enemies keep spawning. They'll just stay in place forever shooting which makes for a bad demo!

funinfusedgames.bsky.social @funinfusedgames.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Sometimes as a game developer you need to do videos of 2+ player games and rounding up 2 to 4 players can be a pain. In #PlatinumKill, I can add these AI players to any level via a debug command and then record videos as if I'm actually playing multiplayer games while really its just me and AI.

funinfusedgames.bsky.social @funinfusedgames.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

To be clear its not big bad data center AI or Skynet AI... its really just a lot of conditional if/else and switch statements but its easier to call it AI... I'm not sure what else to call it? Bots? They're very dumb but play realistically enough to make for decent demos and screen recordings.

Working on the demo mode in #PlatinumKill so the AI turns around and kills enemies coming from behind. Both players here are entirely AI driven. Good progress tonight, still some kinks to work out. #GameDev #IndieDev #RetroGaming #MonoGame

Going to lock a few of the characters on game start in #PlatinumKill. Give the player something to unlock and more reason to play. Haven't decided what you need to do to unlock them. What do you think? #GameDev #IndieDev #RetroGaming

Wish we had something more fun to share, just working on getting the #SteamDeck port of #PlatinumKill working right. It runs nice but #Steam API isn't working. So just banging our heads a bit lately. Probably something simple and once it works we'll be golden.

So running into an issue later in dev that this behavior is maybe too unique for the rest of the game so players aren't figuring it out but we don't really want to change it either. Its also the first time you run into this (of like 3 times). I've wrestled with this a lot. I think this might work.

funinfusedgames.bsky.social @funinfusedgames.bsky.social · 29/12/2025

We do have an obvious orange color when damage happens and different sounds for hits vs no damage. I think ultimately the problem is we don't have enough enemies that function like this, basically most everything else is hit it anywhere and it is damaged...

I thought that too until watching real players struggle to figure it out when I demoed my game. Was trying and failing to come up with other ideas than this to make it more obvious. This felt like a funny comment in the spirit of the game itself.
