oh hey. come here often?

 


YO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

long time no... anything!!!

sorry i ain't been keeping up with this bloggy stuff (after a whopping three posts.... such dedication!) but i'm back at it since i'm being held at educational gunpoint to do so!!

anyway, it's been a hot minute since i graced these hallowed halls with my presence so let's do a little update sort of thing. another goddamn game got made!!! this one's about horses. 

my friends and i at good ol' yoobee developed it for a five-week project which was a lotta fun.

but that is not the point of this dev update!!! oh no no!!! for you see, there is ANOTHER GAME!!! and the project requirements include an actual weekly devlog, so this place will see some real use!! i'm pretty hesitant to talk about the game so early in development, because technically it's only juuuuuuuuuuuuuust past the pitching phase, so i'll stick to just giving a quick rundown + some thoughts and mild ramblings on it.

first up it's called TRUCKER'S ATLAS (name shamelessly lifted from a very good modest mouse song) and much like the song it's about trucker's selling drugs!! okay, that's not exaaactly what it's about but it definitely has a bit to say about the ethics (or lack thereof) of selling drugs in desperate circumstances. what it is as an actual game is a trading game about driving around a tiny industrial wasteland moon and being chased by gangs, getting into all sorts of altercations in towns and generally getting stomped all over repeatedly until you either win or die.

but yeah, the scary thing about this game is that i am developing it SOLO. oh god!!! it's a very daunting thing but i wouldn't be doing it if i didn't think i could get it done. i get to draw a bunch of angsty dudes menacing one another in a desert, i get to do some weird code, and i even get to record the music with a guitarist friend of mine. and we have six dang ol' months for this project, which gives me a lot of breathing room to make it Actually Good. so if all goes well, expect this game half a year from now. if all doesn't go well, expect some very strange blog posts. actually, expect that anyway.

that's all i've gotta say. i'm currently writing this from bed at 1am 100 kilometers from home so i've got some sleeping to do.

later chumbo

god!! another game is being made!!!!! this one is a group project about scaring the hell out of people that enter your cool haunted house!!! also, you are a monster!!!!!!! look at 'em go!! pretty much all of this is like SUPER PLACEHOLDER, and it's using characters from my other dumb stupid game, but it's like real playable in it's current state. you are a FREAKY MONSTER, and you have a totally SICK HOUSE. but it's full of  DUMB IDIOTS so you gotta like scare them all away, preferably as FAST as POSSIBLE. you do this by lurking about in the shadows (represented in the gif by blue squares) and then popping out at the right times and in the right places to scare as many STUPID LOSERS as possible!! i also drew up one of the concepts that was made by my buddy at  Hard Boiled Games !! squiggly we plan on having a few playable monsters that you can pick from at the start of the game, and this fella is one of 'em.  anyway that's about al

so we had a class meeting yesterday morning and i sort of slept through the latter half of it because i do NOT have a good sleep cycle but when i awoke from my slumber around six hours later i saw we had been learning about unity analytics for the day, and we were supposed to make a game or something using them i don't know if actually making the game was mandatory or not because i was out cold but i went for it anyway except on the first day i was so out of it i ended up with THIS what the hell is this??? who made this????????? what even is it supposed to be?????????????? well, there's a little bit of a story behind it. when i started my Analytics Game i had no idea where i wanted to take it. i just wanted to make a fella that walked around, and perhaps made a decision, so i made a super basic character controller. then i set out on making a walk cycle, and thusly my troubles began. for some reason, the whole thing was just NOT looking good, like at all. the
