Kincaid [2023.12]

Kincaid Build 2023.12

Hi Space Adventurer!
WHEW! Just made it in the nick of time! We were super determined to pull this build together before January turns around. xD

We got a new team member!
Reydam joined us to make illustrations and this build features his first set of CGs.
He’s an amazing artist and you should check out his Twitter: https://twitter.com/Reydam9

Queen’s Champion Scene
Yup! He’s finally getting his turn! xD
Just walk up to him and strike up a conversation. Later on this scene will be tied to an optional boss fight, so enjoy it “for free” until then. ^w~

Kipi & Puaki Scene
This is the first scene done by Reydam! To watch it, talk to the smaller kobold on top of the hut with the white flowers and then follow them inside!
As with the champion, this scene will later be tied to a short quest related to the story.
For now, please enjoy Rey’s magnificent work! n_n

Fast Travel
This build also introduces the kobold-driven fast travel system: The Flapper Network!
From now on, on this planet, you’ll be finding flag posts with either a red or a pink flag. Pink means that it has been captured. If you ring the bell, it will activate and you can use it.
If it has a red flag, it needs to be captured first! Ringing the bell is going to start a fight. Protect the friendly kobold while waves of enemies spawn.
After the red flag has been replaced with a pink one, the outpost is yours and can be used!

Kincaid Build 2023.08

Goat Enemy
This little stinker is definitely a step up from the kobolds. They are fast and dangerous! We are still tweaking these, but keep in mind that you will face these enemies on the second planet where the learning curve has gone up a little bit. You’ll also have more upgrades by the time you meet them.

But for now, we hope you have fun pummeling them and getting your, uh, revenge! ^w~

Kobold City Ruins
We have expanded a great deal on this area! We hope you have as much fun exploring it and finding the secrets as we had building it.

Can you find all the Rift Crystals and discover what this new Rift is all about!?

(HINT: To make it a bit easier, we have hidden more Rift Crystals in the area than you actually need to open the portal! But if you’re up for a challenge, try to find all 18 of them!)

Map Screen
The map screen has been completely recreated from the ground up! It is heavily inspired by the map style of games like Ori and Hollow Knight. We think it makes navigating maps easier, as the shape of the area gives you more information than a bunch of colored squares.

You can also set your own pins now! Click a pin again to cycle through images.

Deflected Projectiles
A smaller but interesting change is the way deflected projectiles behave now. We want to expand on this mechanic and make it more fun. Try hitting kobold bombs and other stuff and see what happens! This should make fighting enemies that use projectiles and throwables way more fun and rewarding!

Kincaid Build 2023.03 *Hotfix 1c*

Meet (and Kiss) Tiaki, the Moss Former

Our lovely kobold shaman finally has a name and a more flavorful job description! She’s also very curious about Kinny’s soft fur. Luckily, Kincaid is more than happy to give her a thorough demonstration and Tiaki has some tricks up her sleeve, too!
Explore the Old City Ruins

The first half of a new area has been added. You can access it via the stone mason’s elevator! Compared to the starting area, this section of the game will feature tighter platforming and more challenges.
New Foes

Some new enemies have appeared in the jungle!

And before anyone asks, these creatures won’t be getting a lewd animation, sorry! ^w~
Gameplay Preview

We know the overhaul took some time, but we hope playing these new sections you’ll find it was the right move for the game. More challenging platforming sections like this wouldn’t have been possible or fun in the old resolution.

Hotfix 1 Released!

(Hopefully) fixed a rare bug that made gallery items lock back up. Please let me know if it happens again!
