There are some developers who are very protective of pre-release game footage. Sometimes this is for good reason, like protecting simple game ideas from getting exposed and replicated by unscrupulous developers willing to create spurious apps before the authentic ones can come out. But often, this is just misguided silliness – not to name names, but there’s always rad games I see at GDC where developers are scared of getting video out there, even though their games look amazing in early form. Jordan Pearson, developer of Cally’s Caves (Free) and Cally’s Caves 2 (Free), is not one of those developers. In fact, he’s just posted a gameplay video of an early build of Cally’s Caves 3 that runs for almost 50 minutes, showing off the shotgun weapon in the game, and the intended balancing of the weapon.
Pearson has a Twitch channel, so hopefully we’ll be seeing more footage of Cally’s Caves 3 as it nears completion. The first two Cally’s Caves games were solid mobile-exclusive Metroidvania platformers that were also inexplicably free. So definitely keep an eye on this one as it continues development.
woah thanks for sharing the video! That is awesome :D
I played the 2nd one and it was very rough around the edges. I think the series has promise but I'm hoping for a much cleaner game in Cally's Caves 3.
we are giving it our all to make it super polished :D
Sorry to be off-topic, but everytime I read the title of the article I think you're referencing an old simpsons quote.
That's the joke.
