I have been somewhat thinking of some design ideas for my game. I want to do a daily job system with my game but have it work in a way that’s different from the games that inspired mine (PMD mostly). And I think I have figured something out!

Inspector Clueso: Private Eye is a cartoon detective with an eyeball for a head. He's wearing a trench coat, fedora and red turtleneck.

Lefty is a giant, hairy cartoon hand sticking out of an inkewell. He walks around on his gloved fingers.

Stogie the Goonrilla is a big bruiser gorilla too. He wears a derby and prison-style striped shirt. He's holding and smoking several lit cigars.

Drinkwell is a walking bottle of booze, holding a shot gladd full of ink. He wears white gloves and boots, as well as a table with 'XXX' on it. He has one black eye, while the other is an X.

Since I recently Finished my Private Eye picture, I wanted to show off the others. These are all characters I designed to be in a rubber hose cartoon fighting game. Toons are ducking it out to be the next mascot.

I call it: Ink & Pain

Yo, indie game studios, I'm available for hire!⭐🎨

#gamedesign

Having developed PBS kids games I know first hand that tutorials that just focus on dumbing down the gameplay without showing the player what's interesting absolutely bomb at playtests and release.

Why wouldn't you want to show off the cool stuff your game can do?

#gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign

The coolest takeaway I had from the history of Mtg design podcast is that they shifted how they on-boarded new players and designed tutorials:

Less "how simple can we make it"

More "how interesting can we make it"

All games should do that.
