Dive into the details of Gumball in Candyland
New vlog about development for Gumball in the land of trick-or-treating has arrived, offering a fresh take on one of the game's most important mid-game locations. Creator Adam Lewis Graf takes viewers through Mean Street, a gritty stretch tucked behind the friendly neighborhoods of Corndale and Flagrant Fields. This challenging area offers more difficult encounters and a change in atmosphere, marking a key point in the adventure.
In the vlog, Graf explains how he formed Mean Street by mixing elements of cities and dungeons to create an area that constantly builds tension. He highlights his work on a multi-layered map, taking inspiration from classic games like Earthbound and Pokémon. It's a space that encourages exploration while keeping players on their toes. The video also explores the stories of the street's creepy inhabitants and mechanics, which help define the darker tone of the zone.
Graf notes that developing this area gave him the opportunity to experiment with retro RPG traditions and develop a specific middle chapter for the game. His ideas provide a clear picture of how Mean Street developed and how it fits into the larger Trick-or-Treat Land experience.
Gumball in Trick-or-Treat Land is scheduled to release on Game Boy Color and Steam early next year. For those who want to get into this world before launch, a two-hour demo is available on Steam. You can also add the game to your wishlist to be one of the first to enter the land of Trick-Or-Treat.
