New devlog! We are waking back up from our slumber, and have some updates of small happenings over the past several months. Rebranding, changing storylines, and... one last update for the classic version...? deltatraveler.vyletbunni.com/news/20260605/

The project lead was supposed to send out an ad for the pixel artists [checks notes] over a month ago. As the pixelart lead I got tired of waiting, so here's a quick one I whipped up in about 30 minutes. (You can tell it was me because the pose is nowhere near as good as what Meloh can do.)

We've always dreamed of having an opening for our game. And here it is.🥹 And we've narrowed down August for the release!!🧵

Someone asked me what I think of the leak

ten draw!!! codaAntp (@ twitter) did cool adjustments!! woh

Haven't shared anythin' here for a while, so here's a look at the new main menu. #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamedev

We made a Publisher to only publish our own games. We called it evil because spreadsheets and contracts are evil and some evil people have got to do it! 👿

🔥 Feature Friday! 🔥 O-Jay! is an action platformer that is centered around movement. Play as Bryson, as he goes around his own house to find his dad's broken Shrink Ray to repair it, and put an end to those dastardly O-Jay Pouches! 🔗 invincibility-frames.itch.io/o-jay-demo-2 @airfried01.bsky.social

HEY ARTISTS!! 🎨 ARTIUS: Pure Imagination's NEW DEMO releases March 9th, 2026. GET READY!💥 #ARTIUSgame #gamedev #indiegame

Finally get to show somethin' off again. This put me into dev-hell for a good week, but it's finally in workin' order. youtu.be/-9MFqqlBOl0 #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamemaker

MAIN MENU WIP #ARTIUSgame #gamedev

New File Select screen. youtu.be/alAL8T8xjo8 #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamemaker

Opening after so long. #sm64coopdx #commissions

Mindwave had NO reason to be this good. The demo is such a strong demo.

Another full track post, because I've been makin' nuts progress on the game. youtu.be/NcNFPgAlZbw #indiegame #indiegamedev #videogamemusic

Hey, we finally got a Title Screen🥊 Please welcome Decline's : Dash 'n' Drops! Do you like it ?✨ #indiedev #gamedev

Attention all Rerunners. Our project lead, MelohRush, had his Discord account hijacked. For any of those on our public discord server or gets a message from him, ignore until further notice. Thank you for your time.

New track teaser + the game now has a dedicated Discord server in the video's description. #indiegame #indiegamedev #videogamemusic youtu.be/NumbJE5Bs-g

A complete look at the new Speed Stage Intro Card, fully inspired by Sonic Rush, but visually took inspiration from Sonic Rush Rerun. #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamemaker youtu.be/_vpn28z_NlI

New progress video. Somethin' less important, but still cool overall. youtu.be/PnvjXTGUT3k #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamemaker

New track upload. youtu.be/RIXkpxDiiH4 #indie #indiegame #indiegamedev #music

Didn't show this yet, but my game underwent a name-change. I didn't like how long the old name was and it didn't correctly convey what I want the game to be known for. #indiegame #indiegamedev #pixelart

Another video progress report after 12 years. I wanted to show off 2 of 3 re-writes that I worked on for the past couple days. (Footage by my bud, Huisti.) youtu.be/tp2K-RDR-4c #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamemaker

In honor of Sonic Rush's 20th anniversary, we dug into the archives and found some original concept art of Blaze the Cat! Enjoy!

If you missed it, for Rush’s 20th anniversary, we put out a new demo with a bunch more content! We’ll be going on break for the holidays, but we’ll be back at it soon! And we hope you’ll all be here when we get back.

Check out our new Overworld HUD! Pretty cool looking, right? We're definitely going to further tweak the animations and polish it all up later, but what matters now is another core component of the gameplay is already implemented - we're moving at a great pace! youtu.be/SCEzPu4iqhk

@kappanerd.bsky.social rate my beautiful drawings

Addin' full Spanish translation with the help of my bud, Huisti. This (plus some other shit) is the current progress done on simple words. (No dialogue changes for now.) #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamemaker

Makin' semi-progress on the Story Mode again. I made a bunch of black 'n' white versions of a lot of the colored UI elements so they fit the aesthetic that the MIND area has. #indiegame #indiegamedev #pixelart

I just did. SO much pixel art in the past hour and a half.

I need to start adding stupid comments in my code again.

Finally got enough visual progress to show this off. I'm completely re-writing the character select menu. It's less messy (visually), all the characters appear instead of simply switching them, and overall it feels better to use. Left: New Right: Old #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamemaker

Been a minute. Started working on some visual improvements. Namely, rn, OTHERTOWN Night 1 no longer has a giant wall of stars. OTHERTOWN's BG altogether has better parallaxing as well. #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamemaker #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

still working, just on pixel art >:) #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart

New TBAHS update out now. It ended up bein' a bigger update than I thought. It's also up on itch as well. sonicfangameshq.com/forums/showc... kappa-nerd.itch.io/the-boy-and-... #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamemaker

Did a lil' thing that I've been wantin' to do. Doin' a Rush Trick Finale now has my 3 cats jump in celebration. Currently, they have 4 formations that they could jump in. (Inspired by the animals jumping from the same mechanic in Sonic Rush.) #indiegame #indiegamedev #pixelart

Got a LOT of the score functions done today. All that I gotta do now is set the score requirements for each stage, which I'll do later. #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamemaker

Been doin' some stuff. Decided the Speed Stages could get a gameplay glow-up to incentivize more proactive engagement. Inspired by ULTRAKILL. (Only got the HUD done. None of the new gameplay mechanics.) #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamemaker #pixelart

Hope y'all enjoy the SAGE demo for TBAHS. I've got quite a bit planned for the near-future of this game. But for now, gonna take a lil' break.

Workin' on a pre-SAGE patch again. Originally wasn't gonna, but then I got the trick sound effects from Sonic Rush and I just NEEDED to put 'em in. It'll also include 1 extra thing.

Made a longer SAGE trailer for my game. Go check it out. youtu.be/KRWEvbwKei4 #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamemaker #SAGE2025

SONIC RUSH RERUN - COMING TO SAGE 2025!!!

I hope you're also ready to ride the wind! The SAGE 2025 Showcase Trailer drops soon! Keep an eye out!

Went and got somewhat old footage so you guys can hear one of the new tracks in full as this level's track is one of my favorites that I composed. (Gameplay by my bud, Huisti.) I'll see y'all at SAGE in 3 days. #indiegame #indiegamedev #SAGE2025 #sonicrush youtu.be/6-E2QY1t4xI

New goal thing. It changes based on the character you're playing too. #indiegame #indiegamedev #pixelart #gamemaker

Workin' on some post-SAGE stuff. The current build of the game uses Sonic Rush's Goal Ring, but I decided to work on my own that changes based on the character you're playing. Got Kappa and Sarah's stuff done. #indiegame #indiegamedev #pixelart

You got less than 8 hours left before entry and trailer submissions close for SAGE 2025! We've been getting an explosion of new submissions all morning! sonicfangameshq.com/forums/ams/s...

Forgot to say anything about, but I made a Fiverr account. You can now commission me for hand-drawn art, pixel icons, and video game music from there. For the music and art, there's more examples through Google Drive in each of their descriptions. www.fiverr.com/s/5rBQRev #commissions
