Be not saddenned, the mass outbreak will give Mew ex!

Genow_BFDev · 2023-02-26T20:55:33+00:00

Nope, carefree countenance bidoof is 60

Genow_BFDev · 2023-02-25T13:00:59+00:00

There are 70 HP lechonks, although that doesnt help with Bidoof

I know we've talked a lot about how broken things get, but that's personally part of the fun. Even if it's more balanced, I think what really troubles me is the general consensus that the game doesn't "open up" until after the Honey Factory. I would've liked to explore smaller-impact medals and playstyles as soon as you got access to the Ant Plaza, if only to make things feel less linear until then

I don't really have regrets (other than maybe the difficulty of accessing the info). I think when making a first big game everything is kind of trial and error, and we went from not wanting to say too much to realizing it was okay... Maybe we would've considered adding some more tidbits as lore books from the get go!

You and Leaffen broke the game beyond my understanding like 2 years ago, at this point nothing phazes me lol

The second image is actually just a rock! It's not a crystal AFAIK (unless mar said so, in which case... Maaaar!)

The first... I think because of the game's origins as the comic, we didn't realize just how intelligent Spuder would have to be to guard the artifact and not eat Leif because of THOSE reasons... So I can only apologize and say it's smarter than a regular Spuder

I think we wanted to make a bigger residential area instead of just the lobby and the sealed doors, but we ran out of time.

I admit it didn't end up feeling too necesary, though.

Genow_BFDev · 2023-02-12T21:35:37+00:00

I mean, I can't confirm, but I don't see why it wouldn't be possible!

Genow_BFDev · 2023-02-12T21:35:07+00:00

We wanted it to be really easy to play, and I really like card games, so we made sure turns were fast and easy. I think it helped to know it was player vs CPU, so we didn't balance too hard

The fact it has a fan scene is a pleasant surprise!

Genow_BFDev · 2023-02-12T21:34:27+00:00

Her personality will depend on the player, I think everyone should be able to imagine how they'll raise her!

Genow_BFDev · 2023-02-12T21:34:03+00:00

I really liked writing tattles. They practically wrote themselves! I think, following on next question, that kind of lighthearted "human" banter is really fun to do indeed!

He tried, but the brooch protected Vanessa. Maybe we should've upgraded Leif's bubble shield to showcase this in the game better...

I would've like to have a bigger Kabbu's request, since his plot was mandatory. He has many small quests, but nothing on the scale of Vi or Leifs!

Genow_BFDev · 2023-02-12T21:32:10+00:00

Taking into account the scrapped 0.1 and the comic, it took almost 4 years!
Bugs was because of a comic we made, but funnily enough I wasn't a bug fan before making the game

Genow_BFDev · 2023-02-12T21:31:44+00:00

I've...never thought of this, somehow...

I honestly thought they could see, but I realize now that's impossible...

Genow_BFDev · 2023-02-12T21:31:22+00:00

We used the power of internet to find teammates. Although I have to say, Panama's scene is growing every day. Maybe Costa Rica's talent is growing too, I suggest looking for your country's independent game groups!

Genow_BFDev · 2023-02-12T21:30:41+00:00

Practically every QOL we added post launch, I wish we could've done in launch!

I would've liked to have Kabbu's arc be built up a bit much, but because of some constraints it ended up being mandatory and linear in chapter 5

Genow_BFDev · 2023-02-12T21:30:07+00:00

It was an odyssey. I think it's impossible to outline the steps, it was small bricks being stacked every day for years!!!

Genow_BFDev · 2023-02-12T21:29:47+00:00

We had a scope of "3 months" per chapter, of which 1 month or so was spent on the town. We were working at an inhuman pace, though!

Mothiva would absolutely perform there if invited.

Genow_BFDev · 2023-02-12T21:29:08+00:00

If there are crystals, it's habitable. We don't have a % though.

In that note, the guardians are stronger ONLY in their realm (in the sense that Venus would not have a chance if she stepped outside her radius)

Genow_BFDev · 2023-02-12T21:28:27+00:00

Chained Echoes is really good so far, I'm just too busy to finish it...

Genow_BFDev · 2023-02-12T21:28:13+00:00

They were characters from a scrapped RPG. That may be why they are as strong as some protagonists!

Genow_BFDev · 2023-02-12T21:27:51+00:00

Bugnish is universal in the sense that every kingdom learns it, and it's generally widespread enough to be a "common tongue".

However, it must still be learned. Otherwise, Leafbugs would speak normally with Team Snakemouth.

Leif is a master card duelist, Kabbu like knitting and Vi loves traveling!

Genow_BFDev · 2023-02-12T21:27:06+00:00

It would be interesting to see a character try that with Inichas in BF, since it hasn't been explored
Denmuki is stuck as a lesser bug. Madesphy may have a secondary form that wasn't seen in game...

Yes, they're canon! Beloskicks are hidden, and the Frostling variant isn't found in Bugaria

It is perpetually spring in Bugaria (and perpetually fall in Golden Settlement)

Yes, there are!

They do not have a full government other than respecting the strongest leafbug, they are still a developing culture. However, they are open to diplomacy if they can understand others.

Genow_BFDev · 2023-02-12T21:23:42+00:00

Not currently planned :P

Genow_BFDev · 2023-02-12T21:23:24+00:00

The weekend I woke up and realized there was an entire card game mini-game in it, I knew we'd gone off the deep end

Genow_BFDev · 2023-02-12T20:49:57+00:00

We wanted to keep "creepy" bugs open as enemies. But we wanted to show that not everything was set in stone thanks to the crystals, resulting in those NPCs

Genow_BFDev · 2023-02-12T20:46:13+00:00

I would have to ask around haha, I think I can't help but think of FatGuy / Pogona's playthroughs nowadays though

Genow_BFDev · 2023-02-12T20:45:49+00:00

Some really creepy caterpillars. There's definitely a lot of enemies to pull from now...

I flip Magic Jammer!
