Heya.
Welcome back to our n-th updates, just too lazy to check the numbers lol.
HAPPY PICO DAY 2025 (AND MY BIGGEST BIRTHDAY WISHES EVER GIVEN TO THE ONLY LEGEND @tomfulp STAY ALIVE FRVR)
So, we got some bit of a news for ya! AND A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT TOO, READ TILL THE END!!!
For starters, I officially created a Bluesky account (not because it's a trend, but because, as you all know, I hate Elon's X).
So, whatever stuff I'm gonna post on X, would all be posted at this account instead. SO GO FOLLOW ME ALDREADY!!!
I'm still confused with some of the new features in this platform lol
Secondly, I published a NEW REMIX song on NEWGROUNDS (5 Li'l Monkez). Go check it out and vote your opinion, because its super hilarious.
And thirdly... SGALE, my simple little platformer, is OFFICIALLY AT ITCH.IO, so GO GIVE IT A SHOT THERE TOO! I thought my itch.io page was super dead, so I decided to revive it, along with my GITHUB.
Speaking of Github, SGALE'S ENTIRE SOURCE CODE IS OFFICIALLY AVAILABLE AT GITHUB.COM.
https://github.com/stik101/sgale
People familiar with the Godot Engine can go check the code and give it a shot! By publishing the source code, you're;
1. Allowed to check, copy, or modify the code for your project.
2. Allowed to clone the project to your own.
Why I'm doing this? I've got no clue, but I guess its cool to open source stuff (and you SHOULD) and now it's officially free XD.
And with all those aside, let's address the elephant in this room. It's time for the BIG, MAIN ANNOUNCEMENT, so y'all better be ready, and we'll skip to the next line 'cause why not.
Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce to my new game I've been working on for the past one month, without any proper sleep or food, and countless hours of work, and wayyy too much blood, sweat and tears, it's time to tease my game...
An Indian-themed Wario Ware-esque video game made with Godot. Animation, music, programming, EVERYTHING done by yours truly. COMING SOON...
And with that, here's some extra notes;
The game is developed using Godot 4 with a custom plugin I wrote for the gameplay, Adobe Animate and Photoshop for assets, and FL Studio for making those banger musics!!!
The game's heavily inspired by Venba's way of expressing Indian traditions, and WarioWare's fun, quirky microgames. I just wanted to expand Venba's cooking part by showing what India has to offer more; its rich culture, fashion and heritage (I just love my country)
This project initially started a year ago in the name of 'GD-Ware', a Warioware Framework for Godot 4. A year later, I had the confidence and niche knowledge to make the plugin.
Fast forward after a month, I'm still working on the game as a submission to the 5th International Digital Fest conducted by Cyber Square at University of Dubai. And yes, I'm so excited and also nervous... and I need your help!
Share this video to every one of your friends, spread the word, and please drop your valuable feedback when it releases. Because this affects the score of my game given by the judges too. So please 🥺🙏
And yes, I'll be dropping updates whenever I can, and also release the plugin once its one (for FREE), and also publish the OFFICIAL INDIEWARE SOUNDTRACK (VOL.1) on NEWGROUNDS (stay tuned.)
For people who've been asking for the next update for PICO.exe, I might most probably start working on it after Indie Ware, or the game after Indie Ware. I can assure you within this year, if I've got time after my intense studies. 😭
And yeah, once again, please support this project as much as you can, I appreciate each and every one of you like I always do :)
So, yeah that's it!
Toodles.
