A lot of beans have bean eaten by you guys (if you didnt eat any bean, heard of any bean or dont know who bean is, please refer here and then read the rest of article, or just not), and as my token of gratitude i'm releasing some stuff related to the game, specifically:

• Newgrounds exclusive update
• Blender nodes used for ingame renders
• Behind-the-scenes stuff
• And some minor news

Newgrounds exclusive update

This minor update includes:

• Changed condition for getting not-so-secret end screen, now it's more reasonable. Before update the needed amount of beans was around 64k, now its around 8k (4096 to get to glitch zone, and another 4096 to get the screen)
• Added antz
• Added some comments from game comment section as thing yosh can say
• Added ant
• Tutorial screen has been slightly altered (ant related change)
• Main map has been updated with antz
• Have i told you about antz already?

Blender nodes used for ingame renders

You can now get my crappy materials used for rendering in pico8 style for blender for free!

Get it via Gumroad, includes nodes for pico8 rendering and dithering + some are even commented.

Behind the scenes stuff

I wanted to show off some progress related images, because i can:

Placeholder art wasnt used for that long since it was quickly replaced by finished comic strip.

As you can see, comic strip actually was planned to have some textboxes, but i've decided to scrap them, because bean lore is better explained through pure imagery.

Here are more step by step pics

After load smug yosh

Main screen renders +final render

Tutorial screen sketch, which actually looks quite close to the final one

Game actually has some unused graphix, which i wanted to show off:

Comic was planned to be more animated before, but was changed in favor for having actual comic-like frames

Yosh eat bean 2 was planned to be made using LÖVE before, but that project got canned really quickly, only interesting parts of that game were most of the strings that got ported into current game and some sketches for animation:

8BitAnt voiced yosh at the load screen, and here's what raw pcm sound file looks like converted to image:

And some minor news

not really news, but im working on some new games now, have a small sneak peek
