You may think wow, that was dope, surely they don’t have anything else for us today! (And we don’t. (yet!!))

All the new stuff we’re currently working on is in super duper ultra spoiler territory, so please wait for the full game. It’ll be worth the wait, promise!!

What we can show however, without any context at all, is this:

[h3]Heeeeeeeey there Temple Guardians, pest enthusiasts and nest inhabitants![/h3]

We already showed you quite a few creatures lurking deep underground and waiting to meet Gimmiko and friends on their journey to stop Jabberwock Night, but you seem to keep wanting more. So we’re changing the schedule a little bit and we’re letting y’all meet more Pests TODAY!!

If you missed our previous encounter with these freaks, let us bring you up to speed: Pest Nests are damp little caves inhabited by… Pests! They’ll offer events with a multitude of effects. Some effects you may get from these events are good, some are REALLY good and some are… Potentially run ending, if you’re not careful!! Promise you’ll be careful, okay?

So here are FOUR MORE pests for you to fall in love with:

ANCIENT ASTRONAUT



Ancient psychic spacefaring beings that influenced our technological evolution!?!? Are these real did this really happen??

You get to pick from one of the two effects: every world from now on will either have 3 more waves or 1 less wave. It's up to you if you want to gather more resources and visit more shops or if you wanna speed through your run just a tiny bit faster…

the effects stack, btw….. keep that in mind for later!!!!

DEDUN



An ancient god of wealth and prosperity, who somehow picked up a funny auctioneer accent somewhere along the line. But it’s okay cuz he’s cute.

Inthe next few shops you enter, Dedun will appear and shoot bullets all across the screen. If they hit anything being sold, it'll be discounted, but if your cursor gets hit you'll lose a big chunk of money.

No need to graze the bullets to get score bonuses!!

DOLLY



The first animal to be successfully cloned! For realsies! Two Dollies for the price of one!

There’s not even a potential downside to Dolly’s encounter! She gives you an Extra Life or increases your max max HP, in case you want your max hp to be maxxer than your max max HP.

Ok, maybe there is a downside to this if you’re a super gamer and are planning on getting hit at all. But maybe you’ll want that hp for… Something else??

JOLLY JOKER



Coming straight from the stanky old deck of cards that your grandma still uses even though the 3 of clubs is missing and the frayed edges make it impossible to shuffle… The Jolly Joker!!!

Sneaks in some extra Joker cards in every world from now on! These act like pest nests, in case you want even more pests to encroach every single little aspect of your life.

Of course, this’ll replace existing buildings, so don’t get too giddy… But remember that Ancient Astronaut from earlier? If worlds have more waves, that means more space for more buildings... Oh god, my pests are synergizing all over the place!!! Get a room you guys!!!!

And that brings us to the end of this episode of the Pest Survey Corps! We still have so much more to show, but we also wanna let you guys discover these nasty things for yourselves. Otherwise what’s the damn point!?!?!??
….Keep your faith in Kaguya and we might just let y’all take a tiny little peek at more stuff!

until next time. have a good (jabberwock) night!

[h2]Heeeeeeeey there Temple Guardians, Hapoten fans and Dracula stans![/h2]

We’re back with a very brief but VERY COOL announcement: we just premiered our latest trailer at the CRITICAL REFLEX TIME showcase!

We got NEW shopkeepers, NEW bosses, NEW animations AND A GIANT BRAIN AGE STYLED JERRORD SORELLI HEAD that we blew our whole budget on, come check it out!!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Since we’re already here, we may as well talk a bit about development!!! Just recently we finished working on a Big Chunk of the game that really makes it feel so much more like a Real Ass Game than it already did!!! All characters can now be unlocked by playing through the game, you can unlock new stuff to find in future runs… Wow!!! Videogames, huh!!!!

We can’t really share any of that juuuust yet because most characters will have weird and interesting unlock methods that may potentially possibly require a bit of thinking outside the box on your part (maaaaybe even beating some super hard secret bosses along the way??) and we wouldn’t wanna take that away from you!!

However what we can show you without any context whatsoever is THIS:



Soooooo yeah, we still have quite a bit of ground to cover before the launch, but rest assured – we’re pretty close and we’re gonna get there before y’all even notice! For now stay tuned for the second part of the “playable characters” devlog, more stuff from us, and keep your faith in Kaguya!

until next time. have a good (jabberwock) night!

[h3]Heeeeeeeey there Temple Guardians, Ika tip givers and honorary members of the Die Hard Support Squad![/h3]

Surely by now you’re all too familiar with GIMMIKO’s cast of characters! Three plucky heroes on a quest to slay the Jabberwock, and send it galumphing back to where it came from: shrine maiden Gimmiko, boring old doctor Merci and underworld soldier Zo…

…But they’re not the only ones who have it out for the Jabberwock, each with totally different fighting styles!! You can BECOME a dice, you can control the dice WITH TELEKINESIS, you can even SHOOT A GUN!!!

So today we’re introducing you to some of the new faces you’ll get to play as in GIMMIKO at launch starting with…

[h3]DIE HARD[/h3]

An artificial supersoldier from a mysterious distant island... Can't get used to using dice as weapons, so she'll stick to using her trusty gun, Gunmetal Franky.

Die Hard's gun works by shooting bullets that contain gimmicks. Every time a bullet is shot, it'll contain a random gimmick from the one in slot 1 up to the slot # equal to the amount of remaining bullets.

*die hard screaming offscreen: IN ENGLISH, POINDEXTER!!!!!*

...Lower slots are more likely to activate!!! Now quit pointing that thing at me!!!

a-anyway, one last word of advice: try not to be too trigger happy!!! When that gun gets too heated it can… explode.

[h3]MIMIKO[/h3]

An odd looking puppet that seems to move entirely on its own, clattering and giggling as it glides around... Why does she kinda look like Gimmiko?

You won't control Mimiko herself, but rather, a mysterious shadow that follows her around silently... However, only Mimiko can pick up and use dice!

Mimiko can also be tugged and swung around, dealing damage with anything she may be holding. Whip her around the stage with some high STR dice to deal massive damage!

you can still stomp the dice without Mimiko’s help which helps set up some sweet combos!!

[h3]ALPHA FOOTAGE[/h3]

A mysterious little creature that smells kinda like an old person's pillow and feels kinda like a boiled egg... But it's just so cute!

Alpha can't hold dice in its soft and slippery paws. However, using the powerful electromagnet lodged inside its liver, it can cause every dice on the field to be thrown towards it, all at the same time! Rain gimmick chaos upon your enemies!

Be careful, though... It's very fragile…

the more dice, the more chaos!! as long as you can survive : ^ )

That brings us to the end of PART ONE of the new character introduction series! We hope that you’re THRRRRILLED to meet these goobers and enjoy their unique playstyles and we’ll see you next time with EVEN MORE GIMMIKO!!!!!!

until next time. have a good (jabberwock) night!

[h3]Suuuuuuup Temple guardians, Dice Snugglers and Mary Sue’s Fan Club members,[/h3]

It’s time for your regularly scheduled devlog abou-


hey what’s that over there?


*quickly swaps out your gimmiko demo with a better one*

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Surprise!!! It’s the GIMMIKO DEMO: SUMMER OF SUE UPDATE!!

AND IT’S OUT NOW.
FOR FREE.
(It is still a demo after all)

featuring a really really cool art from Balladofsin, go check 'er out and give her all ur love!!



[h3]And here’s all the new cool stuff that you’ll get IN ADDITION to everything we had before:[/h3]

THE GUARDIAN CAMP: Hang out with your buddies at the GUARDIAN CAMP, a hub zone set up by Gimmiko herself in a corner of an unused wing of Gimmick temple!
Chat with your friends, watch some TV, read emails, browse the MikoPedia, or just stare at the hauntingly beautiful Shadowblighted Moon!

UNLOCKABLE COLOR PALETTES: Try your luck with the new colour palette gacha, gently hosted by the lovable and original Original Colour Palette Testing And Distributing Character Colin Palette!
Gather ZARI by defeating bosses (or randomly from normal enemies) and trade them for a new random colour palette! What are Zari? They’re kinda like sunflower seeds, but that’s not important right now.

NEW DICE QUIRKS: A massive wave of new quirks that all do crazy stuff, from stealing your money, turning your dice into chainsaws, exploding from anger and… Letting you play blackjack for some reason?? 25 NEW QUIRKS!!!

NEW EDITIONS: Golden Gimmicks that generate money! Cursed Gimmicks that seal themselves! Meaty Gimmicks that are bigger and deal more damage! And a couple more!!!!!

NEW AND IMPROVED PEST NEST: Would you rather have 8 pests or 20 pests? Well… Now there’s 18, which is almost 20!!!
Pick a pest from a selection of three every time you enter the pest nest! Strategize! STRATEGIZE!!!!

NORMAL & HARD MODES: Can be toggled at any time from the Guardian Camp! Take half-heart damage on normal mode, and start off worlds with slightly simpler waves. On HARDMODE you’ll take full heart damage and waves will start off at maximum intensity right from the get go, but you’ll be rewarded with more Zari from bosses!! Also, some other stuff!!!

also make sure to unlock every art for mikopedia, theres a loooooooooot of good stuff there!!

[h3]CHANGES AND FIXES[/h3]

• Better Dice Shop: Dice stats and quirks are no longer written in incomprehensible riddles. You’ll still have to learn what quirks do, but it’ll all be right on the box, stats and all!
  
• Free Hot Springs: Remember not to drink the water.
  
• Speedier Catacombs: Filling up the lucky cat all the way to 100% is now super duper fast!
  
• Improved Mikopedia: Characters and shopkeepers, and they all have cards too! You can now also learn what all the gimmicks do while vibing to the mikopedia music!
  
• Gimmick Balancing: Some were too good, some were too bad, others literally didn’t work at all and luckily no one ever noticed. Thanks to The Great Gimmick Balance Machine, now everything is good!!
  
• Heat System Rework: Common Gimmicks heat up dice way less! Spam ‘em with d2s!
  
• Damage System Rework: As in, dealing damage. Now enemies can get hurt from multiple sources all at once, so more gimmicks will actually kill stuff faster!!
  
• Performance Improvements: Probably!! Hopefully!! Let me know if your game runs badly SMILE
  
• Dice No Longer Get Crushed By Buildings: …and don’t forget the mustard.
  

did i already mention there's a new hub world?? maybe??

[h3]AND PROBABLY MORE STUFF I FORGOT ABOUT!!! OK THAT’S IT STOP READING GO PLAY THE DEMO BYE!!!!!![/h3]
