This development preview will give you a look into new features coming to Oh So Hero!

The game's two developers, Ket & Red, comprise the programming and art/animation sides, respectively.

Here are their updates!

Ket's Update:

Hi everyone! Thanks for your patience. First, I want to announce our next build is planned for December! We've been hard at work this month, but it has mostly been in areas behind the scenes. We've been "heads down" on this stuff, so we've been quiet as a result. Now it's time for us to give you a preview of what's next.

Most of what I've been up to is tackling tech debt and upgrading tools, which should improve performance and fix some of our current issues. These are time-consuming tasks that involve a lot of re-engineering and problem solving. Here's an abridged list of things I've completed so far, as well as others in progress:

DONE: Upgrade from Unity 2019 to Unity 2021 LTS
DONE: Asynchronous asset loading for Android build
90% DONE: Upgrade FMOD (audio middleware) from 2.01 to 2.02
IN PROGRESS: Fix Win32 & Linux builds
IN PROGRESS: Fix Gradle for Android build

I've also been adding new music from Cilantro and new character portraits from Red. I'll go into full detail about everything when we have our next build in December, which should include much more. For now, keep reading for Red's art update, followed by page 3 of ThatPuggy's Oh So Soaked!

Red's Update:

Hey guys. We've been rather busy fixing issues that have been cropping up with the recent builds. We have a gameplan for the next couple of months and it is this: We plan on releasing the threesome animations for a few more characters including O'Deere, Bax, and Puca amongst other addons.

Once those are out, we won't be releasing any animations until the boss Bates is completed and released. I'm still working on a lot of his assets and cutscene elements. The encounter will require (almost) fully animated cutscenes, and progress on those are going well. January will most likely be entirely about Bates progress. I know I've made you all wait so long for him and I apologize but I think he's shaping up quite nicely.

Here are WIPs of some of this stuff:

Another thing to mention is that we're also working on reworking some of the fighting mechanics to make the game more fun to play overall. After Bates we will be looking into implementing a more robust combo system to allow Joe to have more interesting combat interactions amongst other things.

We're also working on a quest system; more info on that later.

I'll see you guys next month for the December build release. Take care~
