Of Final streches and Next steps.

Man...  

I *totally* forgot to post here.  

**Sorry about that.**

But I’m happy to say: **The project isn’t dead!!**  

*(I didn’t hear no bell!)*

## 🕹️ Ass Kicker is *almost* finished!

I just need to wrap up the dialogue and do some final polish.

Over the past month, I’ve completed most of the **programming** and **base art**.  

Now it’s all about **bug fixing** and trying to improve the animations.

It’s been a lot of fun!

## 📌 Since the last devlog, I’ve done a few things:

- **Level 4 – “Floresta dos Mortos”**  

  A spooky forest where AK tries to recruit a mighty paladin.

- **Level 5 – “Magewood”**  

  A bustling mageocratic city — kind of Gotham City-ish.  

  This is where you meet the human fighter of the group.

- **New music!**  

  Last time I said we were going to use some tracks by *Composiia* — and that’s still the plan.  

  But the vibe wasn’t quite matching the gameplay, so I gave it another shot.  

  This time I used **Beepbox**, and it works great for this kind of retro sound.

- **Two bosses** – and that’s all I’m gonna say for now 👀

- **Two new enemies**

- **Spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to draw a bear**  

  (It was almost my final boss...)

- **Trying to improve the writing** — especially AK’s voice and dialogue.

- **Revamped the main menu and pause menu**

- Oh, and I played *Claire Obscure*. That Verso guy is awesome...  

  *(Wait, this is supposed to be about my game. AK is awesome too. Promise.)*

## 🚀 Next Steps

I'm planning to launch the **full game in the next 2 weeks**!  

I know — the marketing could be better.  

But hey, a man can only wear so many hats at once 😅

That’s why my good friend **Necromancer** (who’s way better at art than I am) is working on the official **promotional art** for *Ass Kicker*!

## 🏴‍☠️ Also…

- I’ll be joining the **Pirate Software Game Jam 17**!  

  Check out our new project at the end of the month 👀

- The game is now set to **“Name Your Price”**  

  If you like what I’m doing, I’d be honored to receive your support — whether it’s a donation, a helpful tip, or some honest feedback.
