Hello humans!!!

I'm PlayerXT, a game developer who is probably not right in the head, and today I came to make my final announcements about the new Be cube demo, which will be released this weekend (Saturday)!

Starting with the new features that are coming in this demo, besides the ones I've already mentioned here (improved mechanics, music made by me, etc., etc.) there are still many things that I haven't mentioned here, such as:

                                                                          ◇Main Menu ◇

One thing that always bothered me in the other demos was how the game's menus didn't seem to be... from the game, you know? So, combining what I learned from making b17 (my game from last year's Gamejam) with my greater knowledge of the engine, I decided to revamp the game's menus and the mechanics behind them. In other words, now you can save your game progress in 3 different slots, you can adjust the volume of the game's sounds and music, you can choose the camera style (for now there are only 2 styles) and so on... and in the next update, you can be sure that there will be even more options!

                                                                               ◇Story ◇

Even though the story is not the focus of this demo, you can already see that there is a system created around it, whether through dialogue balloons or small actions happening around the levels, these mechanics already existed in the other versions, but now they have been reimagined and adjusted to accommodate the future story that I am writing.

                                                                            ◇gameplay◇

I've already talked about the gameplay before, but now I'll go into a little more detail...

Be Cube's gameplay is a mix of action platformer and exploration, which is a tricky thing to balance, but I think I did a good enough job.

In the game, Willy can initially jump, crouch, and run, but by the end of the game, he'll be jumping on walls, doing super jumps, gliding, and all sorts of things, all of this combined with the energy and momentum system. In other words, if you know how to play the game, you'll be able to fly through the levels, but if you don't, you'll still be able to beat the game, just not in a "gamer" way.

But, all of this already existed in the other demos, what I did in this new version was to improve the mechanics, and deepen them even more, in addition to fixing certain bugs...

in other words...

☆ if before you could crouch in the game, now you can not only crouch, but also accelerate while crouching at the cost of your energy!

☆ or if before you could do a perfect jump to gain greater height, now depending on whether you are standing still or not, there will be variations in the height and speed of this extra jump.

and so it goes, I won't spoil the surprise all speedrun techniques here!

in short, the game's movements were made and updated to be expressive and free (without breaking the game, of course) allowing the player to have their own way of doing things. Of course there is a main path, but the way it will be passed will depend on the decisions and skills of whoever is playing.

                                                                        ◇soundtrack◇

Well... I'm not a professional musician, nor do I even play an instrument, but... I'm also not a professional game designer, nor a professional writer, nor a professional artist, and this game came out...

Let's see what comes out of my little hands...

                                                                              ◇ final ◇

There's still a lot more to come, but I'll let you play and... that's it.

After several months of promising, here's demo 3. It was hard work, but it was a good experience...

When Be Cube was born, it was a simple platform game with cubes that an immature but strangely dreamy teenager wanted to make. Today, as the adult version of that teenager, all I want is to make this dream come true. Maybe few will actually play the game, but what can you do? When you're passionate about an art, you just make the art. That's how PlayerXT works. And for me, seeing this game ready one day will be more than enough payment.

On the 15th the game will be available for download here on this site, and I hope you like it, and you can be sure that future demos will come! Maybe I'll release it in July, but, the way I am, it's better not to promise... 

with all that said... you know....
