Sweatshop Superstar @ Babycastles Prep

Sweatshop Superstar is going to be shown for one night only at Babycastles this Saturday from 6 to 8pm.


I have something special planned for the sign, check out the picture. No that isn't roast beef it's paper lightly burned and basted in various juices for effect. When this dries I'm going to draw the Sweatshop Superstar logo across it in marker.

Sweatshop Changes

Soooooo Apple was kind of mad so we made some changes for now:

SS: Cutscenes

Re done Pepe Hands

Redone hands because the testers want more gore and less ugly hands. Hopefully these are closer to little boy hands. That and it looks like it they were whipped rather than broken.

Making Cutscenes

The game is getting so close to completion and we're in the final testing and polishing phase. This is a half finished part of the cut scenes that are unlocked by the player after successfully completing a "boss" level. It's probably the most depressing story ever:

Cut 1

There once was a boy named Pepe whose parents enjoyed the finer things in life...
Pepe's Mother: "Pepe! Check out this jacket I got for your father!"
Pepe: "It's beautiful, we must be rich!"
Pepe's Mother: "Actually..."
Cut to Factory
Mr Enojado: "Time to sew off your mami's debt"


Cut 2
Pepe worked very hard indeed and Mr. Enojado had a surprise for him...
Mr. Enojado "You are horrible at sewing. Maybe I can get back my money with you on hoodies."
Pepe: "Yes sir..."

Cut 3
Mr. Enojado had called Pepe to his office and he was very pleased..
Mr. Enojado: "This looks better than horrible, I'm promoting you to management!"
Pepe: "Really? I'm so happy!"
Mr. Enojado: "Good now you get to work 21 hours a day!"

Cut 4
The day came where Pepe had a question for Mr. Enojado...
Pepe: ""Sir is it bad that I can't feel the right side of my body"
Mr Enojado: "Just the right side!? You must not be working enough!"
Mr EnoJado: "When I was your age we were all numb if we did our jobs right you lazy boy!"


Cut 5
No idea what goes here.

Cut 6
A mysterious fire had erupted in the factory and Mr Enojado's tortured screams could be heard through out the land, the door however was open and all of the workers long since cleared out, but what has happened to Pepe? That is a story for another day...

Sweatshop Superstar Achievement Icons

These are to award the player for performing specific tasks in the game.

Look I made dresses

These are all rewards when you beat levels in Sweatshop Superstar. You unlock parts of the dress as you complete sublevels.

Slowly getting there

Sweatshop Superstar Main Menu

I'm on the fence about the white stroke, it's almost like the text is getting lost in the buttons. So then I tried lightening the font:

Sweatshop Superstar World Map Finished

The spaces under the dots is where the scores/grades will go as the player beats the stages.

Sweatshop Superstar: World Map Color Part 1

It looks so cheery you want to vomit.

Work in progress.

Sweatshop Superstar: Sewing Awesomeness

Making some sewing machine awesomeness. Needle extra bright so the player focuses there. I'm debating adding highlights if there's still time.

Sweatshop Superstar: Making the sewing machine

Making it look like a rusty crumbling deathtrap is hard work. I'll polish it up tonight.
