Hello fellow gamers!

EVERY DEVLOG AFTER THIS HAS VIDEOS OF THE MAKING OF BIG FISH

I wanted to announce the plans for Big Fish and Annulus, since I'm sure some of you are wondering. I started Annulus some months ago and upon releasing it, started my second project, Big fish, after discovering the Metroidvania Month 8 Jam. I'm a Metroid fan and had to take on the project. I think Big Fish perfectly encapsulates the isolated and curious feeling of Metroid, while keeping the player from always being overpowered. I wanted to create an experience where the player could go through a world and always feel the power struggle of being big or small. I want the player to run away sometimes and come back stronger to face down a large foe. I want the player to get butterflies in their stomach as they imagine how large and beautiful this dangerous world can be. 

Anyways..

I don't just have plans for Big Fish. I also am trying to take what I've learned and apply it to Annulus. The ship is large and expansive, with puzzles and haunted beings. I want to expand on the lighting mechanic and start powering larger sections of the ship's structure. I also want to expand on the lore and introduce players to the origins of the ship and why the player is even on it.

I intend for both of these games to be released in the next year and to showcase them at PAX South. So look for TOQ Games on the showroom floor and keep checking back. I'll be posting devlog updates periodically about both games and I'll be launching a full Kickstarter with giveaways soon.

Thank you all for playing and showing support. I couldn't keep doing this without you.

Best regards,
