A playground simulator
One year after its release, Little Brats! has officially been released under free license and is now available on Flathub ! A temporary exception Like Superfluous Returnz , Little Brats! was initially released under a non-free license: those who follow me know that this is an exception, as all my works are generally published under a free license (usually Creative Commons By Sa ). Since developing…
The next release of “Little Brats!” will see a major overhaul of the funding model: it will now be a pay-to-win game, with the introduction of a dedicated cryptocurrency and NFT skins. If you’re not paying for the product, then you are the product The adage has become famous, and for some time now I've been wondering about it: indeed, in Little Brats! , all skins are immediately available, and for…
I'm very proud to present what is probably the most important upgrade since the game's release! On the program: new game modes, revamped menus with multiple skins save, a seasonal theme and other surprises! New game modes This is THE major feature of this upgrade: the introduction of new game modes, to diversify the pleasures! In addition to the “classic” mode you've been familiar with since the…
A short news item to let you know that you can now buy Superfluous Returnz and Little Brats! in a Steam bundle which will give you a 15% discount. Note that the discount works even if you already own one of the two games: you'll only pay the difference.
After the Halloween upgrade , it was only logical to bring a Christmas upgrade! On the program? A seasonal theme, new game objectives and new skins! A winter look Just as the previous update added an autumnal theme, here come winter flakes! For the duration of winter (in the northern hemisphere, as the game's school is in France), the playground will be covered in snow! Until the end of the year,…
It's Halloween in a few days, and for the occasion, the first upgrade for Litte Brats! is already available! On the program? A seasonal theme, a 1 vs 1 split-screen mode, and more! An autumnal look Of course, the most visible feature is the introduction of seasonal scenery: for the duration of autumn (in the northern hemisphere, as the game's school is in France), playtime will take place in…
The biggest challenge I faced in developing Little Brats! was the online multiplayer part: synchronizing computers with sometimes consequent latency while maintaining the “fast-paced action game” aspect was far from simple. I'll tell you all about it! Lag compensation, prediction/reconciliation, etc. I'm not going to do a detailed tutorial on these points, as there are tons of them already, but to…
For this video game, I attached quite a lot of importance to character customization, i.e. the little brat you control… as well as the bots, of course. This is also what you can find in the “Litte Brats!” avatar generator . Here's a look at how it works technically with the Godot game engine. The creation of a typical little brat The game is seen in faux-3D isometric with a 2D cartoon style. I…
After a two-week delay, the game was finally released yesterday! Thanks to all those who have already bought it. It's been a lot of work, and I'm very proud of this new release. The work began just 8 months ago, and required some 400 hours of development, 70 hours of graphics, 38 hours of music, 13 hours of writing, as well as a few more hours for communication, administration, and so on. The game…
It is with some sadness that I have to inform you that the release date of Little Brats! has been postponed by two weeks: the game will therefore be released on October 1 instead of September 18 as previously announced. The reason is simple: the latest beta tests have brought to my attention a number of bugs that indicate a noticeable instability in the game's netcode (the part that manages…
In anticipation of the game's release in September, you can already generate your own little brat with the "Little Brats!" avatar generator . This generator partially reproduces the character customization menu taken directly from the game: it's based on the same engine, Godot , and uses the same images. The only customization options missing from this version are pants, shoes and voice (for…
This time it's official: Little Brats! will be released on September 18. Makes sense to release a playground simulator during the back-to-school month! For the occasion, the official trailer has been unveiled! What is that game? If, graphically, my style already used in the point and click Superfluous Returnz is used once again, the type of game will be radically different: Little Brats! will be a…
