BZZZT News

BZZZT game is taking part in the Steam Next Fest event this week together with other amazing incoming games and will be holding a developer stream with rare footage of the non-public game version!!!

I will be playing a game together with my friend & publisher, and we will try to beat some time challenges in demo stages and never-before-seen stages as well!

We'll also be doing a live Q&A. Hope to see you there!!!

Maybe you already know that, but the BZZZT game is being developed by one humble artist (me) and one excellent music composer, Martin Linda.

With this project, I wanted to pay tribute to all the much-loved games from the '80s, which I grew on, and they were the main reason I started making games.

So, one day I said to myself: "Wouldn't it be cool to time travel back to the golden era of arcade games and enjoy it again?"

And that day, my indie journey started! It was the beginning of BZZZT development!!!

And because there isn't an army of community managers behind me, I am sharing my solo-dev progress across social media alone. You can find me & my pixel art together with the Bzzzt development on the following platforms:

• Twitter: twitter.com/ko_dll
• FB page: facebook.com/pixelartkodll
• Instagram: instagram.com/ko.dll
• YouTube: youtube.com/c/KODLL
• Patreon: patreon.com/kodll

Here are some examples of animated traps being used in the full game. I am sharing these small gifs weekly so that you can see & discuss the development of Bzzzt almost immediately.

Norbert, Emily and ZX8000 from Bzzzt game would love to wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year!!!

And I can only add the following:

[h3]Have a great 2023 year. I wish your plans and dreams were fulfilled. And, of course, I wish you a lot of amazing games to play, dear friends!!!❤️[/h3]



[h3]A few words about the Bzzzt game's dev progress:[/h3]
I am finalizing the animations of the enemies right now. I would like to have everything animated smoothly with clearly visible when traps and enemies are going to hit a player.

I have finalized all environment art, and all player abilities are already implemented.

And most importantly, together with Martin Linda, the Bzzzt music composer, we are starting to put together the sound design - it means no more placeholders in a game!!!

We are doing everything possible to release the game in the first half of the year 2023.


Thank you very much for your great support!
