Cally's Caves 4 picks up three years after the end of Cally's Caves 3, with Cally and her friends searching for a cure for Rupert's Curse. Cally will set out on a worldwide journey to find “The Amulet of Valerius,” an artifact that she believes can cure Rupert and give him a normal life. As the story unfolds, Team Cally will uncover the origins of a secret society that controls the world, and meet a new nemesis that threatens to destroy everything that Cally loves.
Features:
Cally's Caves 4 development is proceeding at a furious pace, and we recently had a chance to revamp the way our start screen works. Our first game's start screen was simply a logo on a black screen, and with each successive game in the Cally series, we want to improve every aspect of the game.
To achieve this, we:
How do we create a new game in the Cally's Caves series that feels fresh and changes things up? The first 3 games in the series were very light on story, and although we were able to plant some seeds for future story ideas, we could take the plot for Cally's Caves 4 anywhere. This dev diary will go over some of the decisions we've made to make Cally's Caves 4 stand apart from our previous games.
Setting
All 3 Cally's Caves games took place in "the Caves," a place that started in Cally's backyard and gave us a good amount of variety to work with.…
Ookpixels is a website that celebrates Canadian video games, and we were lucky enough to be interviewed by Devon Wiersma for the site! @devon_wiersma on twitter.

It's coming soon….

Work on the game continues, more to follow!
Happy 2017! We are working relentlessly on the next Cally game, and wanted to post a quick update on where we are at with the project.
Back to Cally’s Caves 4:
After seeing the developers of Super Cat Bros. go through some name troubles, we've decided to change the name back to Cally's Caves 4. It's better safe than sorry when it comes to the game name and creating marketing/promotional material.
Over half of the enemies are done:
Happy Holidays to everyone! We are happy to announce that Cally's Caves 3 and Cally's Trials will be on sale throughout the Steam Winter Sale. In addition to this, Glass Wing, a game by Cally contributor Sayuri, is also on sale. To celebrate the sale of our games, Sayuri has created this amazing image of Cally and Mayfly (the protagonist from Glass Wing). We hope everyone has a safe and happy holidays, and we can't wait to bring you Cally's Caves 4 in 2017!
Our friend DragonFire3066 recently achieved a Cally's Caves 3 Survival Mode World Record by reaching wave 55 without taking a single hit.
We are so appreciative of awesome Twitch streamers like Dragonfire3066 who have kept Cally's name out there while we finish up Cally's Caves 4. Thank you and congrats on the new WR!
Congratulations to MrKvikur, who has registered a ridiculous time of 29:30. You can subscribe to his channel to see future speed run attempts for other games as well!
Hey everyone! As we are working hard on the next Cally game, it's a good time to round up and link some of the great videos that have been posted to Youtube in the last couple months.
We are incredibly lucky to have such awesome Youtubers making videos with our content, and we want to say a huge thanks to all of them! Here are some videos that are parts of long-running series and speedruns.
We are working so hard on Super Cally's World right now! Currently, we are working on enemy implementation, and are fleshing out the last few systems that we have yet to code/design into the game.
Over the next months, as more art gets plugged into the game, we will get back to posting weekly #screenshotsaturday's and more specifics about the game. In the meantime, you can join the Cally Discord to keep up with what's going on.
Also, our friends Luminosity Inc, LLC. are doing a Kickstarter and Greenlight for their game, the Painter's Apprentice! The nice folks at Luminosity have been a really positive influence to us over the years we've been doing game development, and we want to help spread the word about the Painter's Apprentice as much as possible. So if you see fit, please throw them a vote on Greenlight, or a few dollars on Kickstarter, and help make their #indiedev dreams come true!
Hey everyone! We haven't posted anything in a while, and it's because after spending almost a year supporting Cally's Caves 3 and designing what the next Cally game is going to be, we ramped up production in July and are in full swing on it. Through a series of twitter polls, we figured out that the name of the game is going to be Super Cally's World. Although we are really excited to be working on it, there's a few things to go over.
In January 2016 we published Cally's Caves 3 on Steam, and supported it post-release. It's important to us that we answer every bug report we get, because we want to build a reputation as a reliable developer. Cally's Caves 3 has ended up with 85% positive user reviews on Steam, which led to our next step:
In June 2016 we released Cally's Trials on Steam and put out a huge update for the Android and iOS…
A few Youtube and Twitch streamers are currently engaging in regular Cally's Caves 3 Speedruns! The most active are NepumukGaming and MrKvikur, here are the last few World Record runs.
Here's all 36 songs from the Cally's Trials Soundtrack in a Youtube Playlist! Cally's Trials is available on Steam now.
You can now buy Cally's Caves 3 and Cally's Trials on the Humble Store.
A purchase on Humble can be redeemed on Steam, and 15% of the revenue goes to charity! Get Cally's Caves 3 or Cally's Trials on Humble.
Here is a new weird short story thing, made with Twine. It takes place in the Cally's Caves game universe, but has nothing to do with Cally and is set in a different time period.
Cally's Trials is releasing on Steam today! To celebrate, we are going to run the same type of steam key giveaway for anyone that wants to make a fan art of the Cally crew.
Here are the rules:
Dietrich Online Services have been kind enough to set us up with a promoter app to help get copies of Cally's Trials sent out early to Youtubers and Streamers!
If you play your games online for others to view, please enter your email here
We will get you a key quickly.
We want to say a big thanks to Cody Dietrich for setting us up with this, without the support of awesome people like him, we wouldn't be able to make games.
As we have been working on our next game, we've watched Cally's Caves 3 truck slowly along on Steam to a surprising 83% positive user review average. A few comments asked if we were going to put Cally's Caves 1 and 2 on Steam, which led to some tough decisions. We knew Cally's Caves 1 would be a lot of work to get ported properly to Steam, but Cally's Caves 2 is based on the same engine as Cally's Caves 3, and with 6 weeks of work we were sure we could do a good job of making the game worthy of being on Steam. These are the changes we made.
Engine Fixes
Cally's Caves 2 had a lot of heart, but it also had a lot of problems. We worked extremely hard to polish those rough edges for Cally's Caves 3.…
Cally's Trials launches on Steam June 14th! Check out the trailer!
We have just submitted massive updates for Cally's Caves 2 on iOS and Android. This update will bring the Cally's Caves 3 engine to Cally's Caves 2, and a ton of improvements will come with it. There are also a ton of bugfixes, and the game has been optimized to run much smoother on iOS and Android devices!
In addition to the mobile updates, we are also very excited to announce that a Steam release of Cally's Caves 2 is on the way, complete with controller support and graphics options.
We are still working hard on our next game as well, so expect more updates soon!
Today, Apple updated their “Top 15 Toughest Heroines” feature category on the Appstore, and we are proud to see Cally has made the cut again! We are very lucky to be featured in the same category as Lara Croft and Michonne from the Walking Dead.
