Update on Co OPERATION: MultiTurn - the demo is nearly ready! 🥳

What’s the story behind the game? Well, running hospitals is expensive. A clever bean in central government decided that tearing up requirements for medical qualifications would help. So… volunteers are now welcome in hospitals! 🤷 You decide to enrol and help your local hospital. You can be one of four characters whose specialist skills are throwing and catching; Jason the American footballer 🏈, Prisha the pizza chef 👩‍🍳, Ethan the juggler 🤹 or Tamira the javelin athlete 🏃‍♀️

Josh and Kaitlin, our two artists, have been working hard on these 2D characters and the 3D objects that you’ll have to navigate in the game.



This is Prisha the chef 👩‍🍳 getting a patient to a bed in the fastest way possible!



And a water cooler that is looking a bit the worse for wear . . . is that a fish inside it?! 😳

Josh even managed to teach himself animation so the characters can do this now:



Ethan the juggler idling, running and throwing 🤹

Shaz has been weaving together the 2D characters, 3D objects and hospital world to create some fun levels - here’s how level one in two-player mode is shaping up:



Tamira the athlete and Jason the American footballer waiting to be given their actions! 💪


Joe and Rupert have been doing stirling work on the code, and the characters are now able to do 4 moves in a row without breaking the game engine 🎉 Joe has also revealed a hidden talent for UI (user interface) design and has created lovely selection screens for levels and characters:

Our Discord has been steadily growing and we have been playing games such as Build-a-body, Emoji Movies and Story Hive 🐝.

Here’s a collage of each mini-chapter we made for “Book 1” of Story Hive. One of our community members created it so we could remember the laughs we had writing it - thanks James!



We also play live games like JackBox once a week which Bronte has been streaming on our Discord so we can all play together.


✨The even more exciting news is that the demo is very nearly ready!! ✨
You can wishlist it on Steam now!


Of course, you can also get in touch with any questions, queries or comments - we’d love to hear from you!

See you soon,
Shaz, Julia and the MFG team
