Hello Everyone, Mission Control here! We are pleased to announce that ProtoCorgi version 1.1 is out!. This patch is composed of new features and improvements to the common issues we spotted in the game. Thanks to all of you for your feedback!. This patch has over a hundred fixes!. Here are the highlighted changes:

New Content:

Change gameplay rules with Mutators!

Caravan Mode Mutator:

Unstoppable Caravan Mutator:

Pacifist Mutator:

• Absorbed bullets give 10000 points.
• Absorbed bullets reduce the boss timer by 1 second for each one.
• Increased enemy bullets speed.
• Changes bosses patterns.
• Forces the game to one continue.

Bark Only Mutator:

• Hold shot replaced by a turbo bark.
• Forces the game to one continue.

Hyper Bark Mutator:

Auto Bomb Mutator:

Score Extra Lives Mutator:

Fruit Extra Lives Mutator:

Animal Spirit Mutator:

Absorb and Stop Time Mutator:

New Features!

Sound Test Mode:

Improved Game Soundtrack:

Power Up training selection:

Improved accesibility:

Code for State and Options of the game:

Fixes and Balance:

• Change side is unlocked from the start and it's faster.
• Increased the invulnerability time and improved the visual effect. Shows a shield animation when the player has respawned or an auto bomb has been triggered.
• Improved the power up attraction algorithm
• Improved power ups clarity, icons better represents each power up type, the player has visually different satellites for each power up and spawn an informative text with which power up has been picked up.
• Added input buffering for the Bark bullet, this fixes the feeling of "losing input" when mashing the Bark.
• Absorb can reveal hidden chests, this creates a way to get chest fruits in pacifist mode.
• Absorbed bullets award 100 points. It's more a tool for showing how many bullets are absorbed than a score feature. In pacifist mode this score is 10000 and is one of the ways to get extra lives.
• Game uploads the high score and fruit score from the best continue instead of the last one, and the pause menu shows the current best continue score.
• Bark customization is available from the start.
• Increased the power of the Player missiles, options and bombs. This fixes the feeling of being weak with certain power ups combinations.
• Bosses have a timer per phase and score per phase instead per battle. This makes pacifist runs more fun to watch and open more scoring options.
• Bosses and big enemies have overall less health, but they are more aggressive, and some boss patterns have been changed.
• Stage 1 Section 2, Stage 2 Section 4a and Stage 2 Section 2 reworked because of the power increment of the player.
• Fixed repeated highscores in the leaderboards.
• Added support for the visible inputs for the smaller hud.

Mission Control here! First we wanted to thank all of you who contributed to the victory of Bullet in the Best Audio category in the Eva 2023 awards. A special shoutout goes to the incredible team behind ProtoCorgi, with a special nod to the musical mastermind responsible for the soundtrack, Francisco Foco. Watch the award-winning moment here: [previewyoutube=qhgXstT-R5U;full][/previewyoutube] Remember, the official ProtoCorgi Soundtrack is available to purchase here: Official ProtoCorgi Soundtrack This version features unique and enhanced renditions of the game's themes. In some songs, such as DogEscape, virtual instruments have been replaced by live studio recordings of Rhythm Guitars, Violins, Trumpet, French Horns, Flutes and Piccolos. Please keep in mind that you are welcome to use ProtoCorgis themes in your streams, as long as you give credit to the game and Francisco Cerda. But hold your Corgis, because this transmission is far from over! As congratulations for your support, we are happy to announce that in Patch 1.1, were introducing two new features focused on the soundtrack:

Sound Test Mode:

Improved Game Soundtrack:

Hello Everyone, Mission Control here! first of all we want to thanks to all of you who has purchased and supported ProtoCorgi. The game was released in july 15th and since them the reception of the game has been mostly positive, and were really happy and proud for that. So, we are working on the version 1.1 of the game. This patch will be focused on improvements and solutions to the common issues we see looking at the livestreams and comments of the game. This is a sneak preview of what were working. The first big change is the revamped Pause menu! We know that some people have been confused by the original ProtoCorgi pause screen. To remedy that we decided to made a new redesigned pause menu. We changed the color of the message tooltip to brown and the possibility of modifying some options without the need to leave a session. [previewyoutube=T8YqNt8zi-U;full][/previewyoutube] One of those new options is brightness support. This change aims to make the game more accessible, as we heard some players had trouble distinguishing enemies, bullets and the background. We hope this can fix some visual problems on ProtoCorgi. The new five options are: Background brightness = self explained Effects brightness = brightness on explosions, particles, full screen explosions, etc Snack brightness = brightness of the snacks that orbit around Bullets combo Ally bullet brightness = brightness of player shots Score brightness = brightness of the score texts that come out when you get points [previewyoutube=7ggcn9f58Eg;full][/previewyoutube] Probably the biggest change is in the BARK shoot: the original bark is designed as a neutral, low power, safe shoot, just in case the weapon upgrade picked is not the best. The bark can be used to pick fruits and reveal hidden chests. The bark is also consumed in this action, as we placed the chests in a way that they should not block user shoots from approaching enemies. Still as we have multiple difficulties with level designs changes, this is not easy doable and there is still missing places where the user can get killed by the chests or fruits consuming bark bullets. The most offending place we can think of is the one shown in this video in pup/puppest difficulties: [previewyoutube=camoY4X11_0;full][/previewyoutube] So we could balance the whole game by moving the chest in different difficulties to fix the problem or we could redesign the bark in a way that this doesnt happen. We choose the second option. We plan to implement the HYPERBARK mechanic, when the Bark bullet hits a fruit or a chest, instead of consuming the bark, the bark gets powered up, increasing the size and the damage and this can be chained. [previewyoutube=2xLGvkRSXDc;full][/previewyoutube] We think this is the best solution for the problem that creates new strategies and open for better level design ideas with the chests. There is also some small changes and some surprises that we dont want to reveal right now, but those are by far the most important. Of course we are open for feedback if you want to suggests some ideas, and please dont forget that we have an official ProtoCorgi FAQ in our website that were updating from time to time. For our latest news about ProtoCorgi we have our official Twitter and Facebook sites. Also if you want to meet the ProtoCorgi community we also have our Discord and our forums on Steam.

Hello Everyone, Mission Control here! Hes remained in the background so far, but today its finally time to introduce you to another of Bullets friends: Ace pilot Nick! ------------------------------
Name: Nick Justice Species: Leviathan Age: Redacted Best Friend: Nixie Hobbies: Watching Anime, piloting vehicles, gardening His allies rely on him, his enemies fear him: Nick Justice is known across the galaxy as one of the best Leviathan mecha pilots in existence. Everyone knows that when the going gets tough, you can rely on Nick to save the day! Hes been putting his skills to good use, defending his home planet against the invading alien army. His best friend and greatest supporter in the fight against evil is none other than Nixie, the inventor of Nicks most effective weapons. With her fabulous advancements in technology on his side, Nick knows he cant lose! Of course, Nick is also familiar with Nixies other best friend, Bullet. Soft and cuddly, Nick has always had a soft spot for him. If only Bullet didnt like digging up his carefully planted Daffodils so much However, his newest gardening project has been put on hold, since Nicks attempt to rescue Nixie is cut short by his encounter with brain washing parasites. Dont worry Nick! Bullet is on his way! ------------------------------- Now that Nicks mind is no longer his own, he has instead become a powerful weapon in the enemys arsenal. And Bullet might have to make a terrible decision. Can you help him decide Nicks fate? Until next week, *Mission Control, over* ProtoCorgi steamthumbsup Twitter steamthumbsup Facebook steamthumbsup Discord

Hello Everyone, This wasnt an easy decision for us, which is why we have waited so long to make this announcement: ProtoCorgis release will be postponed. Our goal has always been to deliver you all a day-one gaming experience that feels good and is fun to play, without bugs and bumps along the way. Over the last few weeks, weve come to the conclusion that ProtoCorgi, as it is now, isnt quite yet the fully polished game we want to reveal to you. To fix that, we want to take a few more weeks to fine tune and smooth out a few rough edges. We apologize to all of you who have been anticipating the release. We know a lot of you have been patiently waiting and following our journey to bring Bullet to your Computers and Switches for a long time now, and we are so very grateful for your continuous support. And dont worry! Work on ProtoCorgi IS proceeding smoothly. Once Bullet has caught those last few pesky bugs and Nixie has gotten the Switch version all ported and ready, we will be able to deliver the best possible, one-of-a-kind space Corgi experience! Until then, we will continue to keep you updated and give you your regular does of cute Corgi goodness here and on our social media channels. Once again, thank you so much for your patience and support. It means the world to us. Until then, *Mission Control, over*

Hello Everyone, Its Mission Control! Today we want to introduce to you the brain behind the C class Corgi Bullet: The fantastic, one-of-a-kind scientist Nixie! ------------------------------
Name: Nixie Age: Redacted Favourite Food: Redacted Hobbies: Dangerous experiments, building weapons, playing with Bullet Best Friend: Bullet ------------------------------- Nixies one passion in life is the advance of knowledge: dangerous experiments, undiscovered facts of life and pushing the boundaries of possibility. Science is her one true calling and her fierce intelligence and dedication have afforded her a comfortable position as a military weapons inventor and scientist of the highest rank. Nothing makes her happier than to pursue her goals and build more and greater weapons in the name of achieving intergalactic peace. Her closest friends and allies on this life mission of hers are Nick, the best military mecha pilot the universe has seen in ages, and her beloved corgi puppy Bullet (excellent fighter, not so great at paperwork). Bullets untimely death devasted Nixie. Unable to stand the thought that her best friend might be lost forever, she used the most advanced, untested military technology and her own untamed genius to give Bullet a second chance at life as an indestructible cybernetic combat corgi. The result? The greatest, most adorable weapon the world has ever seen. And quite possibly her own salvation, now that Nixie has found herself being kidnapped right out of her own laboratory! ------------------------------ Before she fell into the hands of evil, Nixie was able to rouse Bullet from his unnatural slumber. As she waits for her friend to come and rescue her, what horrors will Nixie face? And why was she kidnapped in the first place? It will be up to you and Bullet to discover the evil plot behind Nixies abduction and rescue her from the enemys clutches. To make sure youre ready, why dont you try to practice the ProtoCorgi demo a little more? *Mission Control, over* ProtoCorgi steamthumbsup Twitter steamthumbsup Facebook steamthumbsup Discord

Hello Everyone, Mission Control here! Today we want to talk to you about the dangers that lurk in the depth of space. At the end of each stage in ProtoCorgi, Bullets danger sensors will go off and you will meet a terrible fate: A boss encounter!
Each boss comes with a unique set of attacks and movements. Those of you who have made it to the end of the demo will have already met one of them: The Guardian Eye!
(Hey Buddy, what are you looking at?!) He shoots lasers out of his pupil and tries to crush Bullet like the oversized ping-pong ball he is. Dont let him succeed! If you pay attention, you might be able to predict his path make sure to take advantage of that! To defeat him, you will need good aim and the right timing. Of course, these are just his warmup attacks just wait until you meet him in the full version, where he will have a few more tricks up his none-existing sleeves. All the bosses you will encounter in ProtoCorgi have strengths and weaknesses like this. Some are more obvious than others. Of course, your chances of success also depend on which weapons you have equipped. If you are almost out of lives, its important to strategize: Do you prefer a large blast radius or do you want to be able to aim all your power where it really hurts? Make sure youre prepared to face the enemy! In any case, the opponents Bullet and you will encounter on your way to find Nixie arent push overs, but they also arent invincible. Dont give up hope and keep trying! *Mission Control, over* ProtoCorgi steamthumbsup Twitter steamthumbsup Facebook steamthumbsup Discord

Hello Everyone, Mission Control here! Thank you all so much for watching our stream and playing the new ProtoCrogi demo during Steam Next Fest weve been overjoyed by the amount of positive feedback we received from you! Today we want to show off another feature of both the demo and the full version: difficulty settings! One of our goals for ProtoCorgi was to make it accessible to a broad range of people. The shootem up games of the 80s were thrillingly difficult since this is almost a genre staple, it wasnt something we wanted to lose. At the same time, it is that very characteristic that also made them very frustrating for a lot of people: those with little time on their hands to practice, those simply wishing to play for the joy of experiencing the levels, or even just those with little patience. We wanted to make sure that as many people as possible would be able to love Bullet, as well as enjoy shootem up games. The result of our musings: Difficulty settings!
There are many different challenges for you to unlock: from Pup to Puppest to the elusive Ultra Nightmare! The full version of ProtoCorgi will include a whooping nine different difficulties! Now, you might wonder what these difficulties will actually look like in-game: The first difference is the amount of enemies you will encounter. At Ultra Nightmare, Bullet will have his paws full shooting everything in sight! The second difference are the types of enemies you encounter at different stages of the game, as well as their level of aggression. Watch out for vicious attacks from behind! The same is true for the bosses: more health and a more aggressive attitude to beat! They might also use different strategies to strike you down: the higher the difficulty, the more it will keep you on your toes. Quick reactions are the name of the game! Will you challenge yourself on Ultra Nightmare? Or go for a not-so-leisure stroll as a pup? At the end of the day, remember: Playing ProtoCorgi on a lower difficulty doesnt say anything about your skills. It simply means a different way of enjoying the game *Mission Control, over* [If you have any questions about Bullets mission, ask away on our forum or on our Discord channel!

Hello Everyone, Its Mission Control again! Today, we want to introduce you to the story of ProtoCorgi, particularly the back story of Bullets adventure. For those who would rather see it than read about it, have a look at our new Prologue trailer right here: [previewyoutube=NVGPUbSCyr4;full][/previewyoutube] Our story begins with Bullets rebirth at the hands of Nixie, an amazing military scientist, who is also Bullets owner and best friend. To bring the most important dog in her life back to the land of the living, she moved heaven and earth and employed dangerous, previously untested military technology. The result was a dog-robot unlike any other: Equipped with destructive, multidirectional weapons, aggressive barking loud enough to rip enemies apart and the ability to survive infinitely in open space, it was more weapon than dog. The final puzzle piece of her creation: Bullets essence to transfer the memories, spirit and golden soul that really made up the best friend she missed so much. Just as Nixie is about to complete her most ambitious masterpiece, disaster strikes! The evil army of space aliens Nixies military fraction has been defending the universe against attack her laboratory and kidnap her for their own nefarious purposes. Just before all would be lost, Nixie hits Bullets activation button! Now active, Bullet manages to escape certain death and meets up with Nick an amazing military pilot. To strike back and save Nixie, Nick immediately enters his mecha and launches a counter attack against the enemy. However, their opponents came prepared fearing Nicks revenge, they brought an incredible secret weapon: a brain washing parasite. Unable to interfere, Bullet is forced to watch helplessly as Nick turns against him and his former comrades and joins the evil space army. And this is finally were we meet Bullet. At the beginning of the most important journey of his life: Alone and devastated, but unbroken and more determined than ever to save the most important person in his life. Will Bullets power and determination be enough to defeat his enemies? Can he survive the many dangers he will face at the very edge of the universe? Can he save Nixie against all odds? and what will become of Nick? That is up to you! To find out if Bullet succeeds, play ProtoCorgi when it comes out here on Steam on August 26th. Finally, for those who dont speak Japanese, or simply want to be able to sing along, here are the lyrics of the new opening song of ProtoCorgi: Boku no kioku wa boyakeru My memory is blurred Demo ano Ni~Tsu wa wasurenai But I will never forget that day Hanarenai de Please do not leave Boku o tsurete Take me with you Bokura dake no yasuragi no ba ga aru There is a place of peace only for us Hazudakara to omou The way I think it should be Kburu to kinzoku wa boku no naibu, Cables and metal are inside me, Demo, boku no kokoro wa kimi no y ni junsuidesu ne But my heart is as pure as yours , Mata kimi no te o kono-te ni tsukamitai, I want to hold your hand again, Boku ga mamoru yo I will protect you Whatashi wa I am ProtoCorgi ~Oh *Mission Control, over*

Hello Everyone, Mission Control here. Today we would like to share with you the profile of ProtoCorgis hero: Bullet, the Cute Cyber Corgi! -------------
Name: Bullet Species: 3C (Cute Cyber Corgi) Age: Undefined Origin: Unknown Best Friend: Nixie Best feature: Cuteness, Destructive Barking, Vicious Lasers Bullet first met his best friend Nixie when he was still a wee little puppy. The two of them were inseparable, the most loyal of companions. Until one day, inevitably, Bullet died. Devasted at the loss of her best friend, Nixie vowed to do everything in her power to bring Bullet back. And she succeeded! Using previously untested, dangerous military technology and her own top-notch brain, Nixie managed to transfer Bullets brain into a robot she had built to resemble her friend. Of course, Bullets new body features a few upgrades: Aside from being able to fly freely through space, his already booming barks have gained maximum destructive power! A small laser canon in his muzzle can be upgraded with powerful attachments to reach previously unknown levels of devastation. Really, the only thing Bullet still cant do is paperwork. But who needs that when you can shoot your enemies out of the sky at Mach 10 speed? ------------- And now you know everything there is to know about Bullet, the hero of our adventure. Well, almost everything Until next week! *Mission Control, signing off.

Hello Everyone, Mission Control here. This week we would like to introduce you to the fantastic soundtrack of ProtoCorgi. After all, it is a truth universally acknowledged that a Corgi on a potentially deadly mission needs the right tunes to get amped up and get into the zone to obliterate his enemies! To get the best result possible, all music for ProtoCorgi was hand made by Kemono Games very own composer Francisco Cerda, in cooperation with Bullet himself! But we are going to let the man speak for himself Q: First question: Who or what inspired you, Francisco? A: The first time we met to talk about ProtoCorgis soundtrack, our CEO, Mario, shared a bunch of musical references. Most of them were the kind of Japanese electronic shootem up music featured in games such as DoDonPachi, Mushihimesama Futari, Tohou, etc. I liked a lot of what I heard, but still wanted to give our music a special flavor in order to differentiate us. Since ProtoCorgi has strong roots in 16 and 32 bit Japanese videogames, the sound of 80s & 90s Anime seemed like a natural fit. Thus, a mixture was born, which took the reoccurring electronic sound heard in several Bullet Hell games, along with the old school jazzy/funk/disco arrangements found in the golden era of Japan animation. Theres also a big influence of other genres I discovered along the way, such as Future Core, Future Funk and City Pop. Q: What was your goal when you created the soundtrack for ProtoCorgi? How did you want people to feel? A: I wanted to make memorable music, melodies that stuck from the first hearing, the same way as happened to me with videogames I played in my youth. The music is arranged in a way that reinforces the Kawaii themes presented in ProtoCorgi, conveying an epic but yet uwu feel at the same time. Q: What do you think is unique about the music? A: I think that the old school jazzy harmonic progressions are a big part of what makes this soundtrack different. It brings back an outdated way of making music, in a world where four chord songs are the rule. Q: Did you encounter any challenges? A: The hardest part is to keep up with the expectations. The music previews Ive shared on Soundcloud already had an awesome reception, so the pressure is high every time I start with a new track. However, Im pretty confident in the material weve crafted so far. Is not always in the same style as the trailer song everybody loves, but it has the same melodic-emotional energy. Q: Finally, is there any part you like particularly well? A: Weve done a bunch of songs with Japanese lyrics for the games opening and ending, and also for some in-game sequences. I really enjoy those. They gave ProtoCorgi an intense Anime feel, which is something Ive always dreamt of making music for! And now you have heard from the master himself how ProtoCorgis soundtrack came about! You can listen to a sneak peak of the soundtrack here: shorturl.at/nBCDZ !Warning!: Do not play these tunes for your Corgi at home. We do not take responsibility for damages to your life or property!

Get the chance to look at older special footage of the game!

Hello Everyone, Mission Control here. As promised, this week we want to give you an insight into ProtoCorgis visual design. Without further ado, we present: Bullets Space Odyssey Guaranteed to make you nostalgic for a place youve never been!
(In space, no one hears you bark!) Just like the game itself, the retro pixel art style of ProtoCorgi was inspired by old Konami and particularly Treasure games from the SNES and arcade era. They were an important part of our childhood and still define the genre today, so we really wanted to invoke that same feeling. Choosing retro pixel art for ProtoCorgi was an easy choice. That doesnt mean we didnt take advantage of how much more you can do with it today, however! There is far more room for details and vibrant colours now then there was in the 80s, and we tried to take full advantage of that to make the game as lively and playful as possible. Bullet turned out particularly expressive: Try to spot all his different expressions when you play the Demo!

(Bullet - So done with all these space aliens vs Bullet - Ready for action!) Even though with ProtoCorgi, we are aiming at a modernized approach to the shootem up genre, we definitely didnt want to lose the retro shmup identity. We really like how the end result looks, but we will leave the final judgement up to you! Maybe unsurprisingly, Anime was another major source of inspiration for us, which you can see particularly in the design of Bullet and Nixie here in this concept art. The goal was to invoke everything we love and remember so well from our own childhood and to share that appreciation with you.

Nixie already looks a lot like her final design here the big eyes and lack of nose are pretty common for anime. And look at little Bullet, what a ferocious bark! Such a big shot for such a small guy, that part hasnt changed much since his conception. If you are now wondering about Bullets enemies no worries, they will take centre stage in a later post. And now we are at the end of Bullets Space Odyssey. Did it awaken your nostalgia? Are you inspired to fire up your old SNES and dig out that first shootem up game you ever played? Or maybe you just want to fire up the ProtoCorgi demo and get lost in bright, dangerous outer space! Whichever it is, we really hope you will like the look of ProtoCorgi once the full game comes out. Until next week! *Mission Control, signing off. Over* [If you have any questions about Bullets mission, ask away on our forum or on our Discord channel!
