Added a new type of collectible! These ones move as you collect them, which will allow for some fun puzzles and such later on... where did that one just go? #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #ue5

More awesome car dunks, along with a sneaky preview of an upcoming moveset for the rider! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #ue5

What's this? A brand new absolutely-not-placeholder interactable object in Sunset Suckerpunch?? More about this sometime soon™️. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #ue5

Sunset Suckerpunch is about to undergo a very exciting transformation! Until we can show that off however, have some good old fashioned dunking. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #ue5

Archons don't only have a cool beam sword and a lightning dunk effect, but they *also* have powerful defensive blast! Good luck! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #ue5

With the new tether slam you can really pull off some brutal combos on unsuspecting ranged riders 👀 #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #ue5

Started adding some currency around the roads, they're pretty fun to pick up! If you do some bike parkour you might even find some extra juicy spots too! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #ue5

Archons might be a little bit of a pain to deal with, but they have some pretty incredible dunk effects! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #ue5

Cars aren't just good for driving, they're good for dunking too! ...Actually, they're only good for dunking 😅

Sunset Suckerpunch isn't all about combat. While you're on your way to dunk some more Camerata you can enjoy some relaxing drives through our neon landscape! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #ue5

A small sample of the dunkable objects found in Cadenza! What kinds of thing do you want to dunk? #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #ue5

Ground pounds are great for clearing out enemies, and for easy dopamine 💥 #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #ue5

Hey! Little late, but we're going to be at #TGE2025 this weekend! Come drop by & punch a couple of dudes or something (in-game) #ehgame #EhGameShowcase #CanadianGameAwards

Replacing placeholder art is always hella satisfying. Today, I updated our boxy car with the first of many car models. Its windows shatter, and the wheels pop off when it hits something! 🛞🚗 #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #ue5 #WIP #cars

What's a fighting game without a hit counter? Worked on getting a juicy hit counter & dunk counter over the last couple of days - drew some inspiration from the greats, like God of War 3. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #ue5 #WIP #juice

Lara Croft is iconic. It's nice that we're seeing more recently as well, like Aloy & Ciri! We've got more planned in our future projects as well. 😁

Deflecting bullets will never not be cool, especially if said bullets crater the recipients into the floor. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #ue5 #WIP #juice

Hell yeah! Come to think of it, I think our only female character is K8E (The transforming motorcycle-sword-gauntlet AI)...

Oversized swords are (usually) the best kinds of swords.

Seeing the before/after is super motivating. Sometimes we gotta take a step back & look at them to put our efforts into perspective.

Crazy response after less than a month since we announced our game, and less than two weeks of proper marketing. Super grateful for the response so far. ❤️ Still working out how to properly market our game, but it's encouraging to see this funny number go up. #MotivationMonday #indiegame #gamedev

For #ScreenshotSaturday, here's another before/after for our game. We kinda dragged our feet on updating our animations, but it's crazy how much better they look/feel now. The old aerial comboing is particularly painful to look at in retrospect. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #ue5 #WIP

Here's a few of the things that you'll be "dunking" at your enemies, and the associated destruction VFX. Definitely wondering what you guys think? 💥 #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #ue5 #vfx #WIP

A while ago, we made our prototype for Sunset Suckerpunch. A year and a half of work and an entirely new engine later, it's looking much better. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gaming #ue5

Hell yea, thanks for the follow. I getcha! To at least partially answer your question: we're aiming for 5 bosses, around 5-8 hours of content on an initial playthrough, a speedrunner gamemode, and unlockable cosmetics/gameplay modifiers to encourage repeat runs.

We're making a game where you punch cars, explosives, and dudes at other dudes with a talking, transforming, motorcycle-gauntlet-sword. If any of those words sound cool to you, here's our trailer! www.youtube.com/watch?v=IN7g... #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gaming

Hey, thanks so much! 😁 You know, as tempting as it is to follow the big kids' example and charge the price of a week's worth of food, we're thinking a price point of $20-$25 USD would be a lot more reasonable.
