Awesome! It always makes me happy to see people checking out indie games that might otherwise go unnoticed. That's what me start writing about games in the first place.I don't in here much, but I just wanted to say that I love this thread, and that it has honestly led to hundreds of hours of joy for my wife and I. I sincerely thank all of you who take time from your lives to help us discover new games to play.
They're crunching hard (3hrs of sleep a night) doing playtesting, balancing, etc. Working towards big deadlines. It's in the final stretch of development. Release was moved to 2017, but that seems more like a safe buffer till they have an actual date than a definite that the game won't come out till next year
Crunching for gold sounds torturous
I think Sean Murray is a good visualization of the above process
And I thought I was bad
I've done a week with 3 hours or less of sleep because of my intense job. Not fun. You crash. I hope the Rain World team get plenty of time to recover.

Sgt. Saturn is a modern interpretation of the Gradius-style side scrolling space shooter, married to a platformer run'n'gun in the vein of Contra.
The procedurally generated map constantly scrolls to the right as you deal with an onslaught of different enemies and obstacles. You have two gun slots which can be swapped between at any point, or traded out for one of many new weapons that will drop periodically throughout your run.
Once you die, you are dead, but enemies explode into gems which can be collected to unlock perks and add new weapons to the drop mix for future runs.
We are trying to maintain an old-school, highscores and getting-better-at-the-game-based play, but we do want to take some of the concepts that we adore about new games and amalgamate the old-school things we like with the new-school things we love.
All right! I'm on board, big fan of Mr. Frog. New game looks like good fun.
