- Dev Diary - A Deep Dive into Creative Combat - 17 December 2024
Greetings Bloomtowners! We've been hearing from visitors to Bloomtown that there is a bit too much mystery behind the combat systems of the game. We wanted to take some time to go over some of the more technical information about Bloomtown's combat and mechanics to make sure everything is as clear as a sunny vacation day! Let's begin with each character's combat stats: Strength, Magic, Endurance, Agility, and Luck. While in battle, Emily and the other members of her group use these stats to enhance their performance, and they are pivotal in increasing your power as you play through the game. Your battle stats are modified depending on the demons you have equipped. Any hero (Emily, Chester, Ramona, and Hugo) gets the highest values for each stat from the values of their Defender demon and the second equipped demon (which you'll have to catch and equip first). The common rule to understan…
- Like plushies, butts, and purple? We've got you covered! - 10 December 2024
Greetings Bloomtowners! A few weeks ago we ran a poll on X to find out what character you would like to see made into a plushy if you could choose between Hugo, Emily, or the Purple Butt Demon. It turns out that people REALLY like purple badonkadonk! I'm happy to admit that I'm also a big fan of our bootylicious purple friend, so I'm not even close to disappointed in your choice! 💜 But now we are at the critical part of this campaign. If you genuinely wish to see this callipygous creature converted into plush glory, then... We need your help! We need 200 or more Bloomtowners to pledge to the project to begin production of these rumpalicious little purple plushies. By pledging, you pay $2.00 immediately, and Makeship charges the remaining $27.99, plus shipping/tax when the production launches. If the petition fails, any pledges will be refunded. So there is no risk at all to you! 💜 Thi…
