We're very very happy to announce that Ooblets will be part of the E3 festivities this year!
There's gonna be a fun reveal of some secret stuff we've been working hard on in the game at the PC Gaming Show.
It takes place on Monday at 3pm PT so don't miss it!
It's ya girl Rebecca here, trying to sound cool (I'm still workshopping personal intros).
So it's the end of another month and that means that the only thing you've been looking forward to all this time---another Ooblets devlog---is here.
Despite spending most of our time working on something super top secret that we'll be revealing around E3 (which I'll talk a bit more about below), we actually still ended up with a decent amount of cool things I can show you.
Take a look IF YOU DARE:
Howdo, sprouts! I'm Rebecca (aka @nonplayercat) the programmer and artist on Ooblets here to fill you in on what's been going on with our lives and the game's development over the past month.
Welcome to the highly-anticipated March Devlog. And what a wonderful March we're having! It's the beginning of spring here, there's no international trade war, and we're all having a great time doing typical March things.
Okay okay so we're a little late getting this devlog out but we've been told that's just how indie games go 🤷
Without wasting any more time, let's jump right in to all the fun stuff we've been up to:
Real quick before we start, you should join our newsletter! We haven't sent any yet but I think we're going to soon.
Hello! It's me Ben writing to you. In case you're unfamiliar, I do the game design, writing, and other odds and ends on the game. Rebecca does the programming and art, and we also have a couple wonderful freelancers to fill in the gaps.
What a month it's been! We've gotten so much done on the game that it's crazy to look back on everything-- but that's EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO!
Check out the video above, which admittedly isn't very good in terms of dev vlogs or vlogs or videos in general I guess... but it's all we can seem to make.
So what have we been upppp tooooo? Read on in what we hope will be delight, fair oobfans:
We were planning on doing another video for this devlog but we're just too busy/lazy to go through all that this month, so instead you have this dreary gif instead. We'll try to get a video out for the next devlog so you don't forget what our beautiful voices sound like.
Let's see what we got up to recently:
We're baaaack!
In case you noticed the inconsistency, the vlog numbering not matching up with the devlog numbering is just how we roll.
We've done a lot of stuff over the past month so let's dig right in:
Well this is embarrassing...
We had this great idea to do this devlog as a video because we figured it would be a fast way to go through everything we worked on without having to make gifs and screenshots and stuff, and people would get to know us better!
It turns out, the only thing you’d get to know about us in said video is that we’re incapable of making videos.
After spending like 4 hours setting everything up and doing about 200 takes, we decided vlogging wasn’t for us. Our inability to even get the introductory "hey!" right would amaze and bewilder you.
With our tails between our legs, here’s what we were going to go over in the video:
