Poli & @poli-and - Tumblr Blog

This is Poli.

Poli is here now.

What is Poli going to do? Press the power button of course! This machine needs to turn on to function, and Poli is here to make that happen.

Also theres a discord now, where i can talk about stuff thats a bit smaller than what would constitute a post.

doctor he wants to talk about his ocs but has nothing concrete to say about them. and yes it's fatal.

poli-and

the more i think of things, the more i dont understand poli

speed testing

speed is key, even one slipup can be devastating merely because it slows you down

#this #i also dont wanna spoil myself #i havent made the plot that much and want it to naturally develop #not in big bursts

a new character approaches!

Dev!!!

this character is part of Carders Legacy, made by @drtrig

Dev will be available in character select upon release

#carders legacy #thisispoli post #thisispoligame #this is poli game #this is poli #thisispoli

here is how This is Poli will be priced:

itch - free, maybe name your own price

game jolt - free, maybe pay what you want

steam - free, but with a large cosmetics dlc available for purchase (since steam requires $100 to publish the game)

as you can probably guess, itch & game jolt are going to be the first on the list for getting released, and steam is a stretch goal.

but uh... pretty much i dont want to make my hobby become a job. i make games for personal self-fulfillment, and if mandatory money is added to the works, it will kill all my interest in the subject.

and, i also dont want to see anyone not be able to afford my game.

also, OST will be free too, available on steam, youtube, & google drive

theres no reason to gatekeep my game. i wont.

poli-and

nvm no dlc, itll be part of the game. free.

update:

the basic physics are implemented. also the bg is darker to make the walls & Poli pop out visually

next step is to adjust the game window to make pixels a consistent size, then ice implementation

can we get a look inside poli

theres no good way to look inside poli, so heres a closeup shot of an eye

#thisispoli ask #thisispoli #this is poli #thisispoligame #this is poli game

btw Poli unfortunately does not fit the criteria for being counted as a living being

i-am-a-fish

how would one of your OCs react to a HUGE burger and delicious seasoned french fries?

poli-and

poli would sit on burger out of curiosity. no mouth to eat, no real concept of eating, but does know that different surfaces feel different to be on.

How does this machine look?

box. more tall than wide. uhhh thats all i can say for now.

#thisispoli ask

How Poli was made

eyes

make them face forward

space so that the eyes are distinct from the rest of the body

edges of sprite

round front of head, i want Poli to be organic, not mechanically square

round back of head, add asymmetry to reenforce that Poli is organic, as well as the idea that Poli is facing forwards

feet positions

too thin, expand them forwards to shift the asymmetry further towards the front

make the feet distinct from each other, as well as connect to front

connect to back, make sure to make the back side asymmetric vertically too

done!

this is how gods are created

poli-and

poli is not that powerful

the only reason poli doesnt die from fall damage is the notable lack of vital organs & bones to squish

Can you show more of Poli

most of this will be different on release other than the poli sprite but still you can have a fun look at the game extremely early in the dev cycle (i havent even made wall collisions that work yet lol)
