Boba Monsters Art & UI Progress

The batphone is what you'll use to select your toppings, read through recipes, and more! What's even cuter is that the batphone is a living, breathing creature with a mind of its own. The Batphone is currently a work-in-progress as the apps and functionality are still being designed.

Can't wait to share more updates with you all soon!~ 🧋 Steam | Tiktok | Bluesky 🧋

Happy New Year from the Boba Monsters Team!

Hello Everybody! I hope you all enjoyed the Holiday this season and have had plenty of relaxation and recovery from your busy lives. Let's dive in and talk about what we've achieved with Boba Monsters, shall we? First, on top of juggling my full-time work, I took a Holiday break myself. But there's still been a lot of cool stuff we worked on for Boba Monsters over the last few months.

Things we've been brewing:

Upgrading the squirt bottles (Squeezed version + some of the basic bottles have new icons)

New topping designs (worms, jellies, sharks, pumpkins, and more!)

The cauldron station design

Began programming the boba topping station gameplay

Began programming the syrup bottle station

Some UI designs completed

Design Progress on the Batphone

I'll reveal some of the new art and progress at a later time, but here is a peek at the cauldron station. This is the station where you will make your different flavors of tea, much like you would make a potion!

Goals for this year:

🧋A Playable Demo 🧋Boba Monsters Official Trailer

We are hoping to have both of these goals achieved very soon.

Lastly, we have another exciting surprise on the way, but that's all we can say for now. 🤫

I'm stunned by how many people are supporting the project already with love and wishlists. This is my first game to receive so much overwhelming support and I'm so happy that I chose game dev because I feel like I'm in the right place. <3

Plastic Trick by Nochi Studios is now on Kickstarter!

"Serena is a cheerful employee for a tech company and she keeps at it to fund her truest love: shopping. A shopaholic and mall shopper extraordinaire, she frequently combats her busy work days by spending time shopping and keeping track of the latest merch drops. 

After what she presumes was a routine shopping day, Serena is shocked to discover three mannequins coming to life before her very eyes, each inhabiting the soul of a either an interdimensional god integrated into the wrong form, a medieval sculptor who’s escaped her fate to be burned for witchcraft, and a nobody who insists he’s anything but the celebrity of the plastic figure he’s inhabiting.

And for some forsaken reason, all three mannequins want Serena to be the one to unleash them from their plastic bodies again."

You can try the demo or support the Kickstarter here!
