Holy Potatoes! The First Update?!



Hey Spudlings,

So it has been more than a day since the launch of Holy Potatoes! A Spy Story?!.
We would like to thank you for your unwavering support for the game. Not only did you purchase the game and enjoy it, but you also provided us with constructive feedback and suggestions to make the game better.
We listened to your feedback, and here we are, with the first update for the game, to improve the gameplay experience further:

- Minor Bug Fix. Previously, mission expiry tutorial will not show if you have seen the tutorial in an earlier gameplay.
- Minor Bug Fix. Previously, multiple skills might be activated in the same turn in special missions.
- Slight nerf to obstacles stats! Spies will now have an easier time to clear missions.
- Slight increase in mission expiry time. Now you can be a couch potato (not really) and take your time.

Have fun playing!

Egging On!



Hey Spudlings!

Welcome back to a Thursday Update :D We’ve been working on polishing and refining A Spy Story?! now, and here are a few new features!



You can now choose to accept side missions at your own pace! There’s no expiration for these side missions until you accept them. Each case will contain a different number of missions, and you’ll only be able to collect the reward when all related missions to the case are completed.

However, missions that are central to the plot will still be popping up on the mission list, so you’ll have to finish them in time.



And here’s the reward for completing the mission :D As missions increase in difficulty level, you’ll wind up with different kinds of rewards. Some of them can be central to completing main missions, so don’t forget about them!

As always, thank you for reading, and ghhs iulhg ryhu erlohg~

Cheers,
The Spud from U.N.C.L.E.

It’s written all over my face,
The ‘t’s and the ‘i’s all in place,
So twiddle your thumbs,
Don’t worry, don’t slump;

Fight or Flight?



Hey spudlings,

Welcome back to another Thursday dev update!

As you can see, one of the things we’fe been working on include a special mission! The specifics are not hammered out yet but you’ll get to carry out a mission in ‘real-time’ with the combined strengths of your other spies.

A Spy Story?! is coming along smoothly; we ran a mini test in our office last Friday and collated a bunch of bugs encountered as well as suggestions!



Testing the game without a fastforward button was q nightmare… 5yqhiw yq4i!


Qh95y34 wq7d6 8jqt3 y343: fqfa*&q

Nothing’s more apt than celebrating the release of Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?! on both Switch and PS4!! It’s quite exciting for us, and we’d like to thank all our players for patiently waiting.

Work is startihg on We’re in Space?! too, so it won’t be too long before we’re releasint that on Switch and PS4 too!

In the meantime, keep a lookout for F4iday! As always, thank you for reading, and e330 r483e 9f34 g98o3e~

Last Sited



Hey Spudlings!

As you can see, we’ve spiced up the animations for the mission control. Here are other animations for different actions!



Other than switching up the animation, we’ve also uploaded more expressions so you’ll be able to keep track of your spies’ progress in missions or in training centres. It’s pretty cute, if I do say so myself - though Spyderman’s eyes shouldn’t be able to narrow like that.



Though the game’s really coming together, we’ve also been discussing how to keep things hyped up for players - A Spy Story?! is more strategic in nature, and has a unique Holy Potatoes! take on the spy genre. Hence, the first few minutes of gameplay may be quite contrary to expectations of the genre.

One way we’ve tried is to introduce an interesting cast (as you’ve seen, Souper Maria and Spyderman) instead of regular randomnised spies. Another would be the ability to plan and shape your own spy agency.

We’ve still got a month or so, so let’s try our best!

-- .- -.- . / - .... . / .-.. .. -. -.- / --.- .- -.-- ....- ----- .-.. -...

On a separate note, we’re finally able to announce that HPAWS will be officially released on PS4 and Nintendo Switch on 10 and 12 July respectively! Just in case you missed the announcement ;)

Meeting Ad-June-d!



...Stealth or just a bug in Unity? Either way, time is of the essence!

Hello Spudlings!

It’s been a pretty productive week; as we draw closer to the end of June, we’re glad to say that things are going to get even busier!

On the art side, as you can see, most of the decorations and training stations are complete. We’ll have to polish and resize some of it - though, really, who wouldn’t want a giant Mochi shrine?



.. / .... --- .--. . / -.-- --- ..- / .-. . -- . -- -... . .-. / - .... . / -.- . -.-- / -..- .....

We’re also working on setting changes such as save/load game features and volume controls. Here’s a mock-up of the save game panel!



The tutorial, too, is complete! You may have noticed the changes in colour scheme - they were made to better centre our players' attention on the content.



We’re also working with Jeffrey Brice for this game - you can check his twitter out here, and his website here. It’s been a pleasure working with his compositions for the past few games, and we’re looking forward to some more snazzy tunes for this coming Spy Story?!

- .... .. ... / -. . -..- - / .-. .. -.. -.. .-.. . / .. ... / .- / --- -. . / - .. -- . / - .... .. -. --.

In the meantime, HPAWS will be available on both Nintendo Switch and PS4 real soon, so keep an eye out for that! We’re also starting work on HPWIS, but that will likely take a while longer.

Cloud Saving, literally.



Hello Spudlings!

Welcome back to another Thursday Update :D We’ve recently released the Spanish version of HPAWS; to Spanish-speaking players, thank you for your patience and we hope you’ll enjoy la patatas~

For today’s update, we’ll be taking a look at Kumo. If you’re new to the gang, Kumo’s our friendly Pinkopteropotatocricetulus who loves carrot-shaped potatoes.

The following concept art was drawn up a while ago, but for the sake of posterity let’s just take a look at them anyway!



Its byte sure is bigger than its bark!



Rats!




It kind of looks like a Sinammon Roll.




In the end, this was what we settled on for Kumo! What a dashing young lad.



With the evolution of pets in the Holy Potatoes! series going from dog (Jagamaru) to cat (Mochi) and then to bat-pig (Baecon), what do you think the next animal after Kumo will be?

In the meantime, hit us up on Discord for a special treat! As always, thank you for reading, and ghhs iulhg ryhu erlohg~

Cheers,
The Spud from U.N.C.L.E.

Talk of the Town



Greetings, spudlings!

Welcome back to another weekly update :) Here are some good news to start the log: Ever since our decision to shift the entire game into 2D, our animator, Karmen, has managed to finish the isometric animations for 36 normal and 12 special spies.

Can you tell who inspired the design for these spies?

We’re aiming to finish all the art by late June or early July; but in the meantime, while planning out cutscenes, poor Billy had to stand in for everyone.


Spicy.


I Billy-eve I can fly~

Kriller Instincts



Hello Spudlings!

Welcome back to another Thursday update :) Before we begin, we’d like to say that Spanish localisation for A Weapon Shop?! is ready, and will be released REAL SOON :O Keep your eyes out for that!

Now, onto the good stuff. As promised, we have gathered here today to learn more about our main characters, Ren and Rexa (and Arm)!

..... .. .. .... . ... .. .... . ..... / ... . .... ..... .. .. ... .... .... ... .. .... / . . ... ... . .... / ... ... ... .... . ... / .. ... . . ..... . . ..... / ..... .. .. ... . . .... .... / .. .... ... ... / . ... ... .... ... .. ... .. ... .... ... ... // -.--.- -. --- - / -- --- .-. ... . --..-- / -... ..- -.. -.. -.-- -.--.-



Arm thinks he’s got Ren wrapped around his little finger. Ren thinks, however, that Arm’s jokes are so bad because he’s a literal face-palm. Ha.

The metal arm is a bit of a mystery in itself, both in-game and outside of it. Our current lead writer, Ryu, says that nobody really knew what the purpose of the arm was. So she superhero-dived in and made it “talk and be annoying”. Verbatim.

-. --- .-- --..-- / - .... .. -. -.- / .- .-.. .--. .... .- -... . - .. -.-. .- .-../- .-- .. -.-. .



The conception of this brilliant discovery happened 11 years ago, under a desk in a classroom. Not much is known about the reason for a whale washer, but us lesser edibles can only hope to understand Rexa’s genius. Here it is, in all of its full, grainy glory: (You can even see the timestamp!)



And here’s the simplified version:



Customisable goggles available!

IT'S GONNA BE - oh.



Hello agents,

We hope you had fun solving our codes, because things are about to get more heated around here :)

A quick update on what’s changed - we’re still racking our heads over the mission progress panel on the bottom left.

In our last update we mentioned a shift towards 2D instead of juggling both 3D and 2D. This interface looks pretty neat to me, but what do you think? If you’ve any suggestions, pop by our discord!

... . . -- ... / .-.. .. -.- . / ... .--. .. -. . / .. ... / - .... . / -.- . -.-- / - --- / ... --- .-.. ...- .. -. --. / - .... .. ... / .. ... ... ..- . .-.-.-




As the older twin, Ren’s the more level-headed one of the duo. Still, he can be found superhero-diving at times, saving cats or eggs with guacamole. He would also really rather that mangoes live up to their name and just… man-go.

Stay tuned for our update next week, to learn more about Ren’s arm! He’s really a handful. Or a hand-some, as he says.

..-. .... .- --- ..-. . / -... .-. .. .-. - ..- - / . - ... -.. --- .-. / --- .. ... .- . --. ..- / - .- .. .... -. .. ---



Rexa is always having a whale of a time - be it being struck by the beams of inspiration and gaining enlightenment due to her empowered brain cells, or well, enjoying a good apple product. Apple pies, apple juice, apple pudding… Not Apple products, mind you, real apples.

Stay tuned for her grand ambitions, however over-whale-ming they might get :D


.- -. .- --. .-. .- -- ... / .-- --- -. .----. - / .-- --- .-. -.-

We hope you’ve enjoyed this snippet we created to introduce A Spy Story?! If you’d like to see more, you can head over to our website for a longer interactive cut. As a heads’ up, we’ll be going into greater detail into the characters and their origin stories for our next post!



We’re sorry for the long wait - besides working on this latest game, we’ve also been swamped with other projects; publishing previous titles to PS4 and Switch, getting HPWIS on mobile, localising different languages and so on! Keep your eyes peeled for them, oh, and -


In the meantime, why not join our Discord at https://discord.me/holypotatoes for future giveaways, contests and bragging rights ;)



Plugging aside, we’ll be back with updates every week or so. So here’s a quick rundown of what we’ve been up to in the past week!

Bear with Me




Our artists have been hard at work, making our assets sharper! Can you tell the difference between the two buildings? We’ve also undergone a resizing - scaling every potato-spy, building and tree to proportion. The downsizing also makes it easier to click on different buildings now!

I Spy with My Little Eye…





Something beginning with K. Hint: it’s hovering somewhere above the recruitment centre.

Sounding Things Out





Concerns regarding the potato sprites’ outlines were raised too: due to the use of 3D sprites previously, constant rendering in the game produced image noise. As such, we’re running with 2D sprites instead! Let’s hope they don’t go off the grid!



Here’s to the starch of something great! As always, thank you for reading, and ghhs iulhg ryhu erlohg~



Cheers,

The Spud from U.N.C.L.E.
