Happy Pico Day, all!!

I’m not gonna be the only one, but my Pico Day game, a remake of Pico Vs Bear, isn’t gonna be posted today. I estimated last night that if I crunched and pulled an all nighter, I could probably finish the last two bosses (without polish) leaving voice acting and sound effect implementation, and the ending to do. And I wouldn’t be able to work on it today until tonight. But with how cool this is turning out I don’t really wanna rush for less than what I have planned.

As Miyamoto totally said...”Thou shalt not treat Pico Day like a game jam if you’re making something that people would appreciate not being rushed.”

Here’s a GIF of the first boss which IS done though, and actually pretty damn solid. :D

You can also thank my brother @PinkTopHat for suggesting (and drawing for it) the idea to have you be able to take Bear’s shotgun after beating him and being able to switch between both guns which function differently. I guess playing those dang FPS games are good for something in casual Flash game dev!

Also, If you’re a Newgrounds supporter, you can check the supporter party forum and play up to the first boss for now if you’d like!

But enough about that. There are some other Pico Day things to talk about here, namely this cool surprise from the current NG wall art by @Slyvern:

“Look mom, who is also a Randy - I’m on the Newgrounds!”

Finally, whenever @milkbarjack’s game Pico Clicker goes up, one of the Pico faces in that collab was drawn by me, keep ya eyes peeled for it while playing!

Can’t wait to share the hard work of everyone on the PICO VS BEAR DX team, and THANK YOU to everyone for getting everything in to me before Pico Day, lol. I’ll repay your timing with a belated Pico Day game. X_X
