Development Update - 8/20/21


At this point in development, the game is nearly feature-complete, and we're adding in the last few details and polish while the final art assets are completed.  As this is an ambitious project with a small team of people, this is still going to take some time.  Here's what we've been working on.

Combat Finishers

By getting an enemy slowed down with gum and low on health, you can set them up for a Finisher.  This is a quick and easy way to instantly incapacitate an enemy, but the setup can be dangerous if you're surrounded.

Environment

Here's a preview of the interior of the local pizza place, used for a very special side mission.


We also recently finished the redesign of the city's central capitol building.  A huge improvement over the crappy model I made myself back in the original prototype.

Costumes


If you're looking to switch up your style, there are many unlockable color palettes for Gumball's costume.  They are mostly inspired by famous candies or superheroes. 

Art Styles

If you want to experience the game in a whole new way, you'll be able to change the entire style of the game.  In this example, it's a style based on the style of Frank Miller's famous graphic novel, Sin City.  Art styles are also unlockable, so you'll have to work for them.


That's all for now, but as development finishes, I'd like to share more videos of the game as there will be more finished environment  assets going forward.  Until next time!

I was excited for this back in the early days of VR but thought it was abandoned (the VR version) - guys its a beautiful looking and feeling game! Very impressive!

Will a 3rd person perspective for the vr players be available on release? I would love to record gameplay for my YouTube channel but recording it from a first person perspective seems to be disorienting for watchers, Really amazing work you've done keep it up!

Wasn't planning on it, but I'm not against it either.

Pizza side mission? Sounds similar to another game with great swinging physics... very cool! Is there still a lot of development going into the VR side of the game?

Honestly no, there isn't really anything to do.  Can't do any fancy animations or anything, so it's still just swinging, shooting, and punching.  But both modes are more or less the same, just played from a different perspective. 

So will the vr version have actual enemy AI and missions?

Yes, it will be a full game.
