Hey, Jonathan Nilsson here, creator of Sticky Paws!
It's been a full year since Sticky Paws first released. Time flies.
I'm incredibly happy how all this turned out. This was the very first game that I have released on Steam, and I've learned so much. I want to thank the fans, you guys made this journey worth it, it was a lot of hard work, and I appreciate all the support. Sticky Paws is the game I'm the proudest of making, this is the kind of game I've wanted to make for a very long time.
I just want to talk about some future plans here.
I haven't really been making any updates for this game, the biggest update was the Catlyn update, and after that, I haven't been going back to update this game. Sticky Paws was made in Game Maker Studio 1, and I have now picked up Game Maker Studio 2, a much faster and better engine. I've been porting over the Sticky Paws framework to a new framework I'm working on, that is going to have more features.
My idea is to make a new platformer game, not necessarily Sticky Paws, but after working on the new framework in Game Maker Studio 2, there's a lot of things I wish Sticky Paws had, that it doesn't right now. I've been thinking about making some kind of remaster for Sticky Paws, new engine, new features.
Here are some features that I want for a remaster:
Local Multiplayer and Online Multiplayer, you can only use Steams built-in remote play for online multiplayer right now and it's not perfect.
Costumes for the characters.
Improved UI.
Steam Workshop integration, these things should be able to be uploaded to the Workshop:
Custom levels.
Custom campaigns, multiple levels in one world to make your own adventures!
Custom characters with custom sprites, sound effects, and abilities.
Making a remaster is still going to take a long time, especially with all these promised features. I'm going to take my time with this, I didn't want to rush something like this just to have it released on the 1 year anniversary, but I wanted to just talk about things I'm planning instead. I also want to say that this remaster would be a free update to this game, and probably replace the old Game Maker Studio 1 version of Sticky Paws, so I want to make GMS1 Sticky Paws open source when the remaster releases, meaning completely free.
That's all I have to say right now, thank you so so much for all the support!
