Devlog 4: Took too long

Hugh... been a while hasn’t it? I haven’t devlogged in a while... but now we are doing it! Anyways, let’s talk about the progress we’ve made!

Progress we’ve made

So... I did a presentation. Again. The demo release date has been announced there, and if you’re wondering what it is, it’s December 20th 2025 or April 9th 2026! (Most likely December 20th 2025) Oh yeah, added characters. Well, partly. Added character stats and stuff. I still have to add Character Abilities! So it’s all a lot of work. And I still have a bit of the campaign to finish for the demo. And for the scoring to be finished. And to link campaign with Tennis mode. It’s getting on me!!!

Promotion!

I’ve started to promote Tennis 2.0! From December 1st to December 20th, the demo release date, I have to make a short form video of Tennis 2.0: POWERSHOT on Youtube every day. I have a couple of goals, Number 1 is to beat 2.3k views, my most popular Tennis 2.0 short. My second goal is to get around 50 people detected in the analytics playing the game. Those goals may sound a little low, but those goals should be simple enough to potentially achieve, while challenging me. I hope this works 🤞

The campaign has something on too!

Yeah, I seriously forgot to mention the elephant in the room, the campaign! It’s essentially an open-world game with robots, caves, and definitely Tennis. Yeah, weird, I know.

Anyways, for recent development, we have... sort of an inventory. Yeah, sorta. It’s more Banjo-Kazooie like, where every material is it’s own collectable on each map. Still have to add crafting and some sorta basic inventory system. It won’t be crazy though, trust me. And I also added a giant map! It feels small in-game, but the design is huge! At least the caves will make up for the size, trust me, every cave after the Manta/Tutorial cave will be BIG, with varying paths and enemies.

What else?

That’s the thing. There’s nothing else. Yeah. So, anyways, if you are somewhat interested in the demo, check it out on December 20th!
