Plantera news & patch notes

Hi everybody! 🐵 I’ve just launched the Steam store page for Coco Block, and the demo is available to play right now! This was a small side project I made about 10 years ago. Coco Block is a very simple, arcade-style game where coconuts fall from above and you need to block them before they hit your monkeys — while letting the monkeys eat the bananas for points, combos, and higher scores. 🥥 The game will be completely free, and the demo gives you the full experience (including some quick and easy achievements, if that’s your thing, which will carry over to the full release). I mainly wanted to get the page and demo out there so people can try it. I hope you enjoy this simple little project, and I hope to bring more — and eventually all — of my past unreleased projects to Steam between new proper releases (NO LIFE: Zombie Survivor, Animal Diner, Plantera 3 etc). 🐒 Thanks for checking it out! 🍌 https://store.steampowered.com/app/3796030/Coco_Block/ You can also follow my Steam Developer Page to get automatically notified of any of my releases!🐵

The first one out will be Run Bird Run, and it is now available to wishlist. You can then add it to your library when it is released! I need to adjust some things and add Steam Achievements, etc., before release. Hopefully, this is just the first of many of my past unreleased projects I can put out, and I hope to do it for my previous unreleased titles as well!ːPfishː https://store.steampowered.com/app/3312100/Run_Bird_Run/ You can also follow my Steam Developer Page to get automatically notified of any of my releases! ːPcatː

You can now see the teaser on the No Life Steam store page! Currently, the teaser only shows one weapon (the pistol) and one zombie type (the normal slow one), but I actually have four weapons and about eight different zombie types in the game currently. However, I need to create proper graphics and polish them up before I can show them, which I hope to do in the next teaser. I am also working on the dog companion. ːPdogː I plan to have a playtest and then a demo for the game later on to gather feedback and ideas. You can wishlist the game and/or join the Discord to get notified when the playtest and demo are available! ːPfrogː https://store.steampowered.com/app/1256730/No_Life/

https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/28825135/3ca3722edd6bea39b77dda2a7f533019c3740058.gif Hi everybody! ːPhhelperː I don't have a regular "devblog" but I wanted to share some news on what I am working on next and also some notes on the future. I just recently updated the store page for my next game "No Life" which will be a survival roguelite with zombies and will be a departure in terms of being a bit (lot) more gruesome than my other games.. (though the zombies are still quite cute in their own way). You will also be able to have a dog companion in the game! ːPdogː Keep in mind that what is shown so far is still very early and unfinished but I wanted to put the page up to be able to gather wishlists during the development. The final game will have many different zombie types, weapons and equipment and I plan to have an open playtest to gather feedback later before releasing a demo. Please consider wishlisting the game if it looks at all like something you might enjoy as it helps me a lot! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1256730/No_Life I also have several smaller unreleased games that I plan to dose out over time on Steam. I plan to release them for free. Instead of gathering dust it would be fun if people could actually play them ːPduckː They are mostly quite small in scope and I need to polish them up a bit and add Achievements for Steam but I hope to release the first one quite soon. Please follow my Steam Developer page if you want to be keept up to date on them as you will then automatically receive an email when they are released! https://store.steampowered.com/developer/varagtp I am also working in parallel on Animal Diner and after No Life and Animal Diner are done I plan to start on Plantera 3 ːPfishː That is all for now! ːPhelperː

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36589458/167167004c43a6ff076519babea3b9f291b03701.png Hi everybody. ːPhelperː I just wanted to make a quick status update since I know that it was a long time since the last announcement on the progress of Plantera 2. The reason for not having a new announcement in a long time is that the game is feature complete so there have not really been anything "new and exciting" to report :) Right now I am basically doing runs of the game to see that everything is as I want it to be and as polished as I can make it before sending it out for bug testing. The last "run" I did I did find some things that I wanted to change so that is basically what I am doing now. One of the thing was implementing a "Tool Tip" that appears over buttons etc to better explain what they do. The other one was to make outlines on everything when you mouse over items when you select things to Move and Trash. This was quite time consuming though since I have to create outlines by hand for everything. Also I created a Bee that I might implement.. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36589458/b7cc7dbda0483043b352ea166ec56e3fb6255a7b.gif I know it has taken a very very long time, much longer than I myself ever anticipated and even though there is almost 3 times more objects than in the first Plantera I was expecting to be finished much sooner. However I will never rush anything out before I think it is fully complete. Anyhow my goal is to make runs of the game until I no longer find anything I really want to change or polish more. Then I will localize the game and send it out to some testers. Then it will release :) Add Plantera 2 to your Wishlist to get notified when it is released! ːPhelperːːPpigːːPhenːːPsheepːːPcowːːPdogːːPmagpieːːPfoxːːPbunnyːːPwolfː https://store.steampowered.com/app/1091920/Plantera_2_Golden_Acorn/

⠀⠀⠀⠀{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36589458/a92f750acdbb601d47ee6bafb46bfe0be6b9af8f.gif Was focusing on trying to do the important but boring and time consuming work of ironing out bugs and balancing for Plantera 2 release and noticed the water looked kind of bare even with the fish and dolphins in it so could not resist going on one of my regular less important tangent to add some water decorations. As with other decorations in the game they give Deco Points which is more important than regular Coins in the later game stage. And yes I know it is taking its time, but it is coming! ;) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Add Plantera 2: Golden Acorn to your Wishlist to get notified when it is released! ːPhelperːːPpigːːPhenːːPsheepːːPcowːːPdogːːPmagpieːːPfoxːːPbunnyːːPwolfː https://store.steampowered.com/app/1091920/Plantera_2_Golden_Acorn/

In the early game it is as usual important to focus on gathering Coins. But in the later game it will become more and more important to focus on making the garden as varied and beautiful as possible as that will increase the gardens Deco Points which transfers into Golden Acorns. Golden Acorns will also grow from the big Magic Tree and an active lively garden will also speed up the production of Golden Acorns, this includes all passive and active actions, every frog that catches a butterfly or dolphin that punches a fish contributes to the production! :) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Add Plantera 2 to your Wishlist to get notified when it is released! ːPhelperːːPpigːːPhenːːPsheepːːPcowːːPdogːːPmagpieːːPfoxːːPbunnyːːPwolfː https://store.steampowered.com/app/1091920/Plantera_2_Golden_Acorn/
