DECEMBER 2025 - DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS UPDATE

28 Dec, 2025

Hello! It’s time for another development progress update!

Like last time, this update is written by both Megalo (Director + Main Artist) and mook (Project Manager + Systems Programmer). This is mirrored from our recent Kickstarter update.

For anyone who hasn’t already, you can read our previous development progress update from July 2025 here.

MOOK'S SYSTEMS CORNER

👽 mook:
Hello, everyone! I hope all who celebrate have had a happy HoloDay season :)
The new metagame/timeline system I talked about in the previous development update has made enough progress for me to consider it essentially complete! It’s the sort of system I can always add on to, so it’s hard to ever consider it "done," but it’s at the point where it can now support all of MINDWAVE’s gameplay content moving forward.

As a reminder, the metagame system contains a video editor-esque timeline with multiple tracks we can dynamically place events on, and self-contained scenes that we can quickly swap between. It behaves sort of like our own engine-within-an-engine.

Here’s an updated look at the timeline system in action:

I’ve done the work to port Starlight (Story + Endless) and Tutorial to the metagame system, and it’s proven itself capable enough to handle any design challenges posed by future Minds :)

While I do compare it to a video editing interface, the timeline system doesn’t actually have any kind of "visual UI" so to speak. We aren’t dragging and dropping events onto the tracks. It’s all driven by code!
In the above video you can see new events getting dynamically placed ahead of the current point in time, like that one Wallace and Gromit bit.

The dynamic nature of the metagame system is the secret sauce that will help the game feel no different from before! (or, in some cases, slightly better).
This system is much more flexible than the rigid gameplay flow present in the demo, and provides us with much more creative freedom whenever we want to mix things up.

LOBBY PROGRESS + STORY PROGRESS

🌙 Megalo:
More lobby/floor concept designs have been made! Generally we’ve ironed out most of what we want out of each floor’s atmosphere and feel. We just need to fill in visual gaps, and move onto creating the assets and implementing them. Not everything is fully conceptualized yet but we’re close to having a full idea of what every lobby/floor in the game is gonna look and feel like. I’ve also designed more potential lobby NPCs! And I of course have been working with our writers Starmy and Mizu to oversee their writing process and brainstorm more major story ideas and directions to take.

As mentioned in the previous update, we were rethinking our approach to the story and dialogue within the lobby segments to strengthen the focus. Without giving too many specifics, this approach has been going really well! Throughout the year, Starmy and Mizu have continued to map out the game’s narrative, major events, and characters, all under our new adjusted direction. They’ve been also writing a bunch of dialogue drafts for a lot of different characters to talk to throughout the game to get a feel for how everything will flow as a whole experience.

Everything’s still a process, though. I and the writers are still figuring out how to properly tie everything together and deliver the ideas we want. There's still much more work to be done and gaps to fill in the story as a whole. We have great ideas for major story beats, a great overall map of the narrative, and great dialogue so far that reflects what we want. However, a lot of those ideas don’t mean much if we don’t execute them properly. There's still more to figure out, and ideas to actually put into action.

That being said, progress on the larger scale has been great, and so far the execution they’ve shown is great. They’ve been doing awesome.

While we have the atmosphere of the lobbies down, the creation and implementation of the final versions rely on the completion of our secret lobby idea that we mentioned in the last update. Right now the writers have been working off of a placeholder background screen for lobby-related work, but soon we should be able to actually get rid of the placeholder and start fully realizing the lobbies past Floor 1 with our cool new experiment.

👽 mook:
The metagame system (or more specifically, our custom scene system) has been heavily involved in the "lobby experiment," and it’s currently my main focus. I am hard at work!

It’s still too early to show much for this, but things are falling into place. I’ve been working back and forth with our "secret experimentation buddy" on the lobby experiment, and it’s been going great. It’s still in a somewhat early state, but the rate of progress has been very quick!
The programming I’ve done for the lobbies has also helped a lot in enabling us to do more throughout the game, and I’m excited to see it all finished!

It sucks that I have to be so vague about this, but hopefully it won’t need to be kept a secret for too much longer…

NEW TEAM MEMBERS

🌙 Megalo:
Since the last update, we’ve also recruited two new core team members! With MINDWAVE, sometimes we’ll have guest artists or musicians to help make something specific or contribute their style. But these two are long-term members here to stay!

ETUDEFORGHOSTS - SECONDARY ARTIST

https://x.com/EtudeF0rGh0sts

🌙 Megalo:
Etude has been a longtime friend of mine, and his artstyle had a huge impact on mine in 2019-2020.
MINDWAVE is a very art-heavy game, and having at least one other 2D artist felt like it would be beneficial.
I felt like he’d be a great fit since my style is partially rooted in his, and he's able to hit certain stylistic spots that I'm not able to. He’s our secondary artist that's able to tackle other art tasks while I'm working on something, bring new visual ideas to the table, and generally help polish art and animation.

I came to him a couple times in 2024 asking for pointers and help with the cutscenes that were in the demo. So it’s partially thanks to his input that they were able to come out so nicely! He also did most of the Kickstarter milestone images during the campaign, and has been helping design lobby NPCs with me this year!

fun fact, i traced over an old 2019 pippi drawing of his for the SPIN microgame, since when i would think about MINDWAVE years ago id always imagine that drawing as a microgame

NYRU - 3D ARTIST

https://x.com/nyrusine

🌙 Megalo:
Nyru is another longtime friend of mine who specializes in visually striking 3D artwork! He’s been addicted to Blender for 3 years now and has dabbled in different styles! Some may know him from his series of 3D EarthBound animations. I always wanted a fair number of 3D minigames and elements in MINDWAVE, but knew it would be a challenge since I don't really do 3D often.

For MINDWAVE’s demo, I did the 3D cube in Starlight’s boss minigame, and the dungeon in the 3D Tutorial minigame. With the dungeon I ended up having to ask for Nyru’s help, and he did the statues and fixed how terrible the topology was in my dungeon model. Earlier on in development in 2023 he also did Starlight’s 3D elevator, and he knocked it out of the park. And after a certain point we were just like dude we should just bring him on!

He loves MINDWAVE and I love his work, so he’s now on as our 3D artist! This should help make the game’s style pop with more variety when we feel like 3D can fit. Nyru also takes some of the minigame production weight off of myself, since minigame assets or entire minigames themselves can just be 3D!

To be clear, 3D visuals won’t be taking over the majority of MINDWAVE. There's still plenty of 2D art/animation and there will continue to be way more as the game continues development. We just wanted to add a bit more 3D to boost the visual variety, which is important to MINDWAVE. The 2D art is still very important to me and I don’t want it overshadowed.

Both Etude and Nyru have been doing an awesome job so far, so go make sure to check both of them out!

MIND 2 PROGRESS

🌙 Megalo:
As a reminder, we’re tackling each Mind (collections of minigames, MINDWAVE battles against opponents in the game’s story) as a series of “Alpha” states where we leave them partially complete (song mostly complete, core structure in place, a handful of minigames, score animation sketches, unfinished animation/polish).
Once every Mind has a completed Alpha state, we’ll return to them all and fill in all those unfinished blanks. This is so that we can have a clearer picture of the game’s complete experience instead of somewhat blindly making our way to the end. It’s like sketching out a painting before you actually start coloring and shading.

🌙 Megalo:
Anyways, in the last update we mentioned almost being done with Mind 2’s Alpha! Some new developments have taken place and ended up pushing back the completion of Mind 2’s Alpha by a bit.

In late July, we thought we were closing in on finishing the main song for Mind 2, but over time we realized that wasn’t the case. I wanted to make sure that the song felt right for the character, and that the structure and tone fit the vision I had. At the time it was the best direction we had, but as it kept being made, there were more adjustments that I felt were needed.

With that experience in mind, I can confidently say Mind 2's song is now 90% complete. I really love the song, I'm satisfied with the state of its structure and tone, and it works perfectly as the song we’re using for the Mind’s Alpha. All we need left for the song to be taken to 100% completion is an adjustment in percussion in one part of the song, an adjustment on the lead in a section toward the end, and one final pass.

👽 mook:
Also, Mind 2’s Brain Fog mechanic has ended up taking a different (and better) direction than our initial plan for it. It’s more creative and gives us more opportunities to mess around, but it’s a rework that I still need to program and finalize. The mechanic is really exciting to me, but I’m still hard at work on various foundational systems (mentioned earlier), so I haven’t gotten to it just yet.

🌙 Megalo:
Because of those things, some extra work is still needed for finalizing Mind 2’s Alpha and its overall structure. So as of right now, Mind 2’s Alpha still hasn't been fully completed yet, but the end of it seems to genuinely be on the horizon this time.

MIND 3 PROGRESS

🌙 Megalo:
While Mind 2’s Alpha has been held back a bit, it’s really just dependent on some programming and design work from mook, and musical adjustments from Dorkus that are small enough to come back to later.

So, for the most part, the team has shifted focus over to starting Mind 3’s Alpha.

Mind 3 has been undergoing a lot of conceptualization and fleshing out for the tone and feel of the character. For every Mind in the game, I have a specific tone, pace, and style in mind going in. But the Alpha stage is where the finer details in the direction start mattering.
I’ve been mapping that out with the team over the past few months, and defining the core concepts and style more. We’ve hit a good place with fleshing out Mind 3 and the role it serves in the game. We’re currently in the midst of making a couple of minigames and score animations, and brainstorming the Brain Fog mechanic. Like with all visuals in an Alpha state, it's a mix of finished and placeholder stuff, but the vision is still strong.

🌙 Megalo:
Also, the song for Mind 3 is currently being drafted! I had a sound in mind, but there wasn't really a song that existed with that exact sound I wanted for Mind 3, so it was hard to find an exact point of reference. I was worried that the lack of a stricter direction for the song would've held back progress.
That being said, in a short time, Dorkus has made multiple short demos for Mind 3’s song, and it’s looking really good right now! The direction we wanna take with the song is becoming more clear and we’re having him flesh out one of the demos into a full song right now.

Mind 3 has also been a weird one to create for me personally since it requires me to think in ways that are a bit outside of my creative skillset. I need the skills to think outside of the box in a few places.
So, I’ve been practicing and researching certain art related stuff to open up my head more with the way I approach art. With this I'll be able to execute certain aspects of Mind 3 easier. This research and practice will also help me more easily direct Etude and Nyru in what exactly we need to strike with this Mind visually and tonally.

🌙 Megalo:
That being said though, the overall progress and direction for Mind 3 has been good. It’s been really awesome seeing a blurry idea from years ago become real, watching it take form in ways I didn’t initially expect it to.

Sorry to be so vague. It’s hard to elaborate without saying too much. I want everyone who plays this game for the first time to not fully know what to expect going in.

SOMETHING COOL

🌙 Megalo:
It’s hard to show work in progress stuff from this game, because I really value the idea of experiencing everything in the game alongside Pandora for the first time. I believe it'll help really immerse the player in the experience, and it just feels right. I don’t wanna give too clear of an idea of what everything in the game will be like.

However!!! Here’s a little thing we did that we can just fully show!

Wow! An actually good game over screen for the story mode! Featuring a new song paired with it: GAME OVER.

Made by our first guest composer, the extremely talented req!

https://x.com/reqwsp
https://soundcloud.com/reqagain

GAME OVER on YouTube
GAME OVER on Soundcloud[soundcloud.com]

🌙 Megalo: I’ve been following req’s music for a couple years and love his stuff, his style is really sick! I thought he could throw something really cool together for the game over screen. So I asked him if he'd like to make a guest composition, and he was down to do it. I gave him an outline of the sound and mood I wanted, and he made GAME OVER! The song was awesome and fit really well with my idea for MINDWAVE’s story mode game over screen, so me and mook started implementing it!

🌙 Megalo:
I had a specific vision for the game over screen going in, so I drew the general idea and made a mockup in Dieback.[okano.itch.io]

After req came back with the song, me and mook started to chip away at the implementation of the art assets and music in between bigger work on the game. With the game over song, some new visual ideas came into mind to make it all cooler. Stuff like the distortion on the censor beep and the fade to black halfway through.

We had a lot of fun trying to nail the vision I had in my head! It was a lot of back and forth experimentation from both me and mook, and the finished result is pretty awesome! I’ve stared at it just for fun many times. You could probably guess from the video, but it’s also gonna have different things circling around Pandora’s head depending on which Mind in the game you just lost to. It’s gonna be awesome.

PERHAPS there's bias here MAYBE, but it may be one of my favorite game over screens ever.

For comparison, here’s the old one from the demo.

This was always meant to be a placeholder, some players probably picked up on that.

Thank you again to req for the amazing guest song, go check out his Twitter[x.com] and SoundCloud![soundcloud.com] Also you can listen to GAME OVER on YouTube and Soundcloud[soundcloud.com]!

Also We're Gonna Be At MAGFest (no booth tho)

🌙 Megalo:
MAGFest 2026[super.magfest.org], our favorite convention! Unfortunately, we won't have a booth for MINDWAVE this time. Maybe next time? We’ll have to see…

HOWEVER most of us on the team will be going to MAGFest 2026 anyway to just hang out! So if you're going to MAGFest, let us know so we can say hi! look i drew what we're all gonna look like:

👽 mook:
I had little nametags made for the whole team this past year, so if you see someone wearing one of these, that’s us!

MAGFest badges DID sell out though, so uh….. Sorry if you weren’t already planning on going :P

This Too

🌙 Megalo:
Also, we won the GameMaker Awards’ Most Anticipated game! Thank you guys a ton for nominating and voting for us! We all appreciate the love and enthusiasm a lot, and huge thanks to GameMaker as well!

🌙 Megalo:
That’ll be it for this update. Once again, thank you to anyone who's played or even talked about the game. We’re really excited about where the project is going, every day the vision grows stronger and the game gets more exciting. We’re eager to make it right and release something really special!

JULY 2025 - PROGRESS UPDATE

28 Jul, 2025

This post is mirrored from our recent Kickstarter update, and omits details about physical backer rewards.

Hello! It's been a little bit since the last update, and we've got some good stuff to share!
Let's jump into what we've been up to with MINDWAVE since the end of the Kickstarter campaign.

This update is written by both Megalo (Director + Main Artist) and mook (Project Manager + Systems Programmer).

POST-KICKSTARTER BUSINESS

👽 mook:
Our first priority was to figure out the business end of things. I sent out backer surveys, organized backer info, allowed backers with declined payments to pledge after the campaign, answered a bunch of Kickstarter messages, sorted out legal business, split the money up into different sub-budgets, and set up the ability to get ourselves paid.

This business stuff was easy on paper, but it was our first time ever doing this kind of thing, so it ended up a little more daunting once it was actually in front of us. It was a lot for all of us to figure out together, but we got through it!

Beyond business stuff, I fixed some bugs for the demo (the last patch was in April, and there may be even more bugs to fix?), and I helped manage our fan art contest. I set up the Google Form for voting, and I put together the winner announcement video. I also worked with the talented krz[bsky.app] to make a bot to automatically(-ish) distribute roles to Kickstarter backers in our Discord server[holohammer.com].

MINDWAVE, MIND 2, AND MORE

🌙 Megalo:
After the dust settled with business and post-Kickstarter work, we jumped right into development for the second minigame set in the game, Mind 2! Mind 2 was a weird one for a while. I always knew the general look and sound I wanted for this character’s minigame set, and a vague idea of what they represented to me. Until more recently, Mind 2 was always on the back burner in my mind.

Over the years, I had small concept doodles/ideas here and there, but what I wanted really started to click recently once we finally fully jumped in. Me and our gameplay programmer Milkshake have been working together to complete a bunch of the minigames for Mind 2, with my art and her implementation/added visual flair. Everything's been coming out great! With the work that’s gone into it, Mind 2 is already looking to be something really exciting!

🌙 Megalo:
In regards to the music for Mind 2, our musician Dorkus made 3 separate demos to try and nail the sound. The third one ended up being the one that fit really well for what we wanted, and he's in the middle of finishing it right now!

He’s been super awesome to work with and his musical range is super flexible, I think people will really like it when they play the stage and hear it. As for the other 2 scrapped demos, perhaps we’ll show them later down the line after the game is out?

🌙 Megalo:
The way that we've decided to approach the game right now is developing each Minigame set/Mind until they're in a passable alpha state. With the alpha state, not everything's finished and some minigames are missing, but it's playable and the main idea/tone is there.
After we finish getting into this alpha state for a minigame set, we move onto the next! This is to get us a big picture idea of the entire game/the flow of everything as early as possible, kinda like sketching out a big illustration to make sure the composition feels right before getting into more detail.

Right now we're finishing up Mind 2’s alpha state, and are easing into work for Mind 3! I’ve already been refining old concepts for Mind 3 on the side, and have been fleshing out the character with the writers! The process of making a minigame set has sped up a ton compared to where we were with Starlight (Mind 1) after the same amount of development time, and we’re proud of how far we’ve come with that!

🌙 Megalo:
As for other stuff I've worked on besides Kickstarter/Mind 2 work, I’ve updated some old moodboards for the other stages in the game, and I've thrown together some mockup/concept videos for some Minds and moments later in the game when inspiration strikes, in order to communicate the tone I wanna go for with them to the team. I've also fleshed out concept art for some of the other lobby floors in the game, designed some new faces to encounter in the lobby segments, and done some fleshing out of major story beats…

Speaking of the game's narrative! Me, mook, and our writers Starmy/Mizu have had a lot of meetings and talks about MINDWAVE’s story and characters, and a branch of what we've discussed is rethinking how we wanna approach writing the lobbies. We gave the writing a lot of attention to be ready for the demo, and we were happy a lot of people seemed to enjoy the narrative segments of the game!

But at the same time the demo was a great opportunity to shine a light on flaws we saw with these segments. It's a different experience watching regular people play the stuff you make, it puts stuff through a different lens. So without saying too much, Starmy and Mizu have been working on fleshing out how we approach each lobby to be more focused, and it’s already felt like it's been paying off!
With the lobbies we're also experimenting a bit on the side in a different way with the help of a secret buddy of ours.... and it's looking pretty neat..... we'll have to see how it feels when it's done, though.

🌙 Megalo:
In terms of the story's big picture, it’s been shaping up to be something really special to me. Very early on in MINDWAVE’s development in 2023, I was unsure of what I wanted out of the game’s narrative, only knowing what major moments I wanted to include. The game was still very much an expression of myself and the things I loved but a lot of the details were blurry.

There was a point where I wasn’t really too concerned with how we presented the game outside of the minigame sets themselves. However, over the course of the demo's development, and even more as time went on, I found more ways to express myself through the narrative, and also put more of myself into the minigame sets. As time went on I became really attached to the games narrative and am really excited about the direction we have.
Part of this was because of my own major breakthroughs in how I thought about the game, but I feel like I also owe a lot of it to Starmy and Mizu for helping me flesh out the ideas I had, filling in the gaps between these major moments, and making it all make sense. They’re really fantastic at what they do, and help me know what I want out of the game’s story, and make me look at things differently in ways that make the experience of the game feel more personal overall!

SYSTEM REWORKS

👽 mook:
As for some of the more technical programming-y details, I've got some cool things to share.

I've started work on some big system reworks that'll allow the game to be made better and faster. Right now I'm working on what I call the "metagame system." It's built from scratch based on the best parts of the existing minigame system, and it works like an "engine-within-an-engine" that allows us to quickly swap between lightweight "scenes" which we use for both minigames and the "inbetween" score animations.

It can all run on a timeline that we place events on, similar to a video editing software. Here's what that looks like.

👽 mook:
While scenes have been functional for a while, the timeline system is still a bit new, so some of the visuals/functionality shown here are in-progress. Incorrect control prompt, no minigame command, no early finish for the minigames, etc.

Metagame: Controls the scoring and keeps track of certain variables between minigames
Timeline: Manages the order and timing of events (including minigames + inbetweens)
Scenes: The new system (based on the old minigame system) that minigames + inbetweens will be running on. Lightweight and self-contained!

Scenes are written with full backwards-compatibility with the old minigame system, so new minigames can still be programmed for the old system while the metagame system is in progress! It's important that big system reworks don't slow down the game's development.

The goal of the metagame/timeline/scene system is to allow us more freedom in how we make the game. The old system (which is present in the demo) was very rigid, and forced a specific flow between minigames and inbetweens, which meant that when we wanted to switch things up (such as with "Combo Time"), we had to jump through a lot of hoops to get those out-there ideas working.
Now that the system is opening up more, we'll have a lot more creative freedom to switch things up.

There's some other stuff on my systems implementation list, such as FMOD (as mentioned in a previous update), but we'll have to wait a little while before I can share the specifics there. I haven't even finished the metagame system yet! One step at a time.

DIEBACK

👽 mook:
Dieback is a tool made by our friend Okano that lets you make your own EarthBound-esque wavy visuals using an artist-friendly interface with layers and sliders (since visuals like this usually have to be made by a programmer).

background of our new game over screen

👽 mook:
Dieback has been used a lot by Megalo throughout MINDWAVE's development to conceptualize certain visuals like the background of the main menu. The biggest issue has been that there wasn't direct GameMaker support for it, so we had to manually adjust the numbers for our own shaders until the result looked close enough to whatever mockup Megalo made using Dieback.

At a few points we had to compromise getting some backgrounds accurate to the mockups since it was time consuming (we spent multiple hours recreating Megalo's Dieback mockup for the main menu background).
Well, thanks to our pestering (lol), Okano has created a Dieback port for GameMaker! This means we'll be able to have Megalo's Dieback mockups no longer just be mockups! cool.
(just kidding it wasn't actually pestering, okano worked on it after i asked once. it was awesome)

"STITCH" microgame background as originally intended

"CATCH" microgame background as originally intended

Both Dieback and its GameMaker port are free, so you can use them too!

Check out https://okano.itch.io/dieback and give Okano's Bluesky[bsky.app] a follow if you'd like!

For info on our physical backer rewards, read this post on Kickstarter!

UNTIL NEXT TIME

🌙 Megalo:
That all being said, that's gonna be it for this update. We wanted to wait to have all the merch stuff ready before posting this, so it's a bit of a big update! All of us on the MINDWAVE team are really excited for what's to come with the game and we're really proud of the direction we've been in recently. None of it would be possible without the support of backers and followers of the game, so thank you guys so much!

Until next time!

Demo v1.0.3 Patch Notes

11 Apr, 2025

A demo patch has been released! Your title screen should say Demo v1.0.3. If it doesn't, you can verify demo files to force the update. (Game Settings -> Properties -> Installed Files -> Verify integrity of demo files)

This should be the final demo patch for the foreseeable future (barring very minor bug fixes) as we fully shift our focus to making further progress on the full game.

Here's what we changed:

Miscellaneous

Added Top 3 Local scores display to Mind Select menu
Enabled Steam Cloud saves
Previously, if your game profile got corrupted, the game would crash on startup. Now a message displays to tell you your profile is corrupted, then you can continue to the game. A corrupt profile will reset settings and playtime, but will have Mind Select unlocked. Story Mode progress and high scores will not be reset.
Fixed various menu crashes that could result from frame-perfect escape key presses
Fixed crashes involving invalid Steam profile pictures displaying in the leaderboard.
All dialogue strings and other hardcoded strings were moved to lang.json

Microgames

After thorough testing, we can confirm that the speed cap for endless mode is now where we intend it to be. Regular Endless speed caps at 2.18x, and Simple Endless speed caps at 3x.
Fixed a bug where toggling Simple Mode and then playing Standard (story) Starlight would cause the popups to not appear after the speed up/level up.

Starlight
TRANSFORM!

Made the beginning input grace period slightly shorter

Tutorial
CIRCLE!

Improved collision accuracy on the circle
Decreased the volume of the win sound effect

If you still have issues with any of the problems we claim to have fixed, let us know in the community discussions forum :)

Being challenging and being annoying are different things.

I'm ok with waregames. But this is like purposely annoying in the way that just rubs me wrong way. What Boss require you to do: 1. Jump to the platforms above. (easy) 2. Do timed jumps. (easy, but turns mistakes into a nightmare in TWO ways, mistake itself and attempt to recover) 3. Don't fall. (Ok.) 4. Jump on the moving platforms. (Ok) 5. Platforms are moving erraticly (i don't like it) 6. Now whole screen is moving (thanks i hate it). 7. And screen movement is spontaneous and affects the jumping traject...
