Figured should mention it on my public account, but Pump Punks is still being worked on. Just been slow going due to the team being busier We'll have something more significant to show later in the year!

Youtube Link for the trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihDT... We also got a discord server too! You can access it through the game or on the itch page. Won't be sharing it on here for safety reasons. Here's the full patch notes if you want the specifics

BUG FIXES

Fixed: Charging next to walls no longer glitches players out
Fixed: Landing on the very edge of platforms no longer causes characters to fall down from it.
Fixed: First frame of jumping used to cause an "invincibility period" when overlapping at the right time with a falling opponent. Character now gets properly hit.
Fixed: Spamming special while almost next to the ground on quick short hops no longer causes "floating up" animations.
Fixed: Quick short-hops no longer cause kills. Players must now have at least a small amount of charge time for a landing to register as a hit.
Fixed: Slide battle arena now has working switches.
Fixed: Selecting Random option on Character Select Screen didn't properly show the resulting palette.
Fixed: BGM now loops properly on all tracks. Great from endless listening sessions! ;P

NEW STUFF:

Pom and Frevo cleaned up frames!
Official community Discord launched!
All characters get new palettes. Some are locked for now. Unlocking conditions will be revealed on later builds.
New Menu! Improved dynamics and some UX options. Has room for future new game modes and other features.
New feature: Characters can now wrap from the top to bottom of stages. Can be toggled on Settings menu.
Arena Layout changes: Chill no longer has the top two platforms, same with Sway. Slide switches now properly change direction of conveyor belts.
Character name change: Al is now Amp. Old name was causing a lot of confusion
Character Balance tweaks: Amp has shorter horizontal speed. Pom is less floaty in general.
Improved CPU Al: Now goes up to level 10, is more aggressive and, hopefully, smarter the higher level you play.
Smaller tweaks and QoL improvements.

There's something so intriguing to me about the art style of Earthbound 64 With the first two games taking heavy inspiration from the likes of "Peanuts", the original 64 build of Mother 3 always reminded me of Steven Spilberg movies. I can see influences of Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones

A render of Lucas, Claus, Flint and Boney's original 64 model. Not only they sport different designs, but a different art style altogether. Something that leans to the side of realism

A drawing of Huey from HorrorVale. He's a horned skeleton dressed up in a nice suit and slacks, along with wearing an orange bowtie.

The character got a hunched posture

A drawing of El Carne Rojo from HorrorVale, Huey's luchador alter ego. The character wears a mask with a flame hair piece at the top. He's shirtless with the only article of clothing being his cape, golden bracelets and wrestling pants and boots. There's a golden skull that acts as a brooch for his cape.

Instead of being hunched over, the character is standing confidently chest-first with his fists placed to his sides.
