Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch August 2021 Update

Welcome to the August 2021 Chronic Blunt Punch Direct Update. We are looking to share more significant features, gameplay, production, and animation details, but really wanted to hear what you are looking forward to seeing in the upcoming updates. So we reached out to our backers on the Discord server. It is clear that you all want to know release dates, platforms, level design as well as details regarding the bosses. We hear you, and for this update, we are going to focus on sharing one of the bosses as well as one of the later levels in the game. Please let us know what else you would like to see and we will drop more stuff soon.

Hippleman: The Hippo Man 

Our first mid-boss is a character called Hippleman who is a parody of one of our favorite and most annoying (to parents) childhood games Hungry Hungry Hippo. This enemy loves to get busy with the liquids and has an amazing mascot drip.

Early Sketches

Marble Madnass Attack
With this attack, we wanted to take the concept of Hungry Hungry Hippos and explore what happens after one of the Hippos munches on large amounts of shiny marbles. Thus a new attack was born.

Early Animation Test

Full Animations

Hippleman Reboot

We wanted to take him a bit further, accentuate his ridiculousness, and add more detail to the character.

Success! Now we have our enemy busting marble shots out of his ass! Can’t wait for folks to play against him.

Level and Environment Design

By request, we are sharing what we have been doing with the interior designs of the new mall.

When Jay and Silent Bob enter the mall they will see the utopian inside of a cathedral-like palace where drones have flocked to get their shopping on or hang out in the food court. The idea was to take a modern-style mall and merge it with the old-school mall vibe. Check out some of the concepts below.

Release Date?!

We are still working on the game and our goal is to release by fall of 2022. Things are moving at a good pace but we want to take our time with development in order to get things right before launch. Once we come closer to having a date nailed down you will be the first to know.
