Blueberry update status (Patreon)
Content
Hi everyone, after a bit of a delay I'd like to give you all a small update on things. Keep in mind what you see here is not the final product and everything is subject to be changed/improved/added.
Release Date
The full update will be out on Patreon around the 11-12th.
New mechanic - blueberry status
Once contaminated you'll find yourself filling with juice and your skin gaining a blue hue, mainly on your face and belly. This is the only short window of time where you can still juice yourself, if you get too big you'll be permanently stuck as a berry!
Once immobile you'll be leaking juice while still getting bigger, this however will not pop you by itself - someone would have to plug your leaks.
And yes, the juice is contagious!
New item - Corks
Use them to plug any leaks, this will lead to an explosive end.
New item - Portable Juicer
The only way to get rid of blueberry status is manualy getting all the juice out. While you're still mobile you can use the Portable Juicer on yourself, but be quick - once you're too big you start producing more juice than you can get out!
The Juicer can also be utilised on already immobile berries, it obviously won't help them much, but it can help you! You can collect the juice into jars.
New item - Jar of Juice
A simple jar filled with blueberry juice, you can throw it at enemies to infect them.
New item - Blueberry
Can be found out in the wild, causes blueberry status.
It's very tasty, you should try it.
New game overs
If you happen to falter in front of bandits while having blueberry status they won't just inflate you the old fashioned way - that'd be boring. Instead they might:
-Use you to farm Jars of Juice
-Put the juicer on you but not even gather any juice, just enjoy the show
-Plug any leaks and run away - leaving you to a sploshy end
And don't forget - the juicer can also be used on non-berry blimps - it won't deflate you, but it does feel good!
And more!
There is still more to this update that I haven't finished enough to showcase - a few small mechanics, details, models and bug fixes. With the biggest feature being a new plant based enemy, their main gimmick being blueberry. All that is planned to be added for the update release!
