Hi everyone, I'm the guy who made the weirdo Pause Screen From BattleToads for #wizardjam, and I thought I'd drop by and show you what I'm working on! You guys ignited a desire to game makes in me, so now you will be cursed to watch me flail about trying to make a new thing!
 
Anyway here's what I'm attempting: a few experimental mini-games ruminating on tropes from 16 bit JRPGs and Action Adventure games. I'm just starting this and put up a
 
Any feedback would be very appreciated/helpful. I didn't say in the video but I'm putting this together with GameMaker Studio.
 
Thanks, dudes. You are all awesome.

So, um, er, here I am a year later. I abandoned this project in favor of another one. But something about #wizardjam makes me want to revive it. I think it's because the design I had planned for this is more akin to my jam games. Sort of weird (house) progression that is unpredictable and maybe a tad glitchy.

I booted it back up and am trying to fix the code (it's bad). I also gotta up the resolution, because I've been obsessed with mixing pixel art with high-res art lately.

 

One of the main things that made me want to cancel it was that I wanted to have 3 different gameplay styles. I've thought of a way to scale it down though.

So I might get back to this...or, if not, I'll at minimum keep you guys up on my other projects. I wanted to resurrect the thread while I was thinking about it.

You guys will think I'm mad. But here's a gif for an Entirely Different Game.

I've been wishy-washy about the penguin one, so can I turn this thread into "whatever I'm working on"? Is that allowed?

 

The game here is a "Cinematic Metroidvania" (two words I hate) about a mummy that incorporates comic book panels. It's been the more long-term thing I've been dabbling with.

I really like the comic panel style, and that mummy sprite and animation is great!

That mummy game looks really cool, the panel animations (rumble and sliding in) are great. And I don't think anyone is gonna object to you posting whatever you're up to :)

I was gonna make a demo about half the size of the final game, but just decided to go ahead and finish it in one go. Still many months off (even though the game will probably be only 40 mins long or so). Dang, #gamedev is a rough ticket!

Sorry! I've been pimping this all morning. Just maybe check it out and lemme know what you think!

 

Also, I would never have made games at all if not for Thumbs community. So thanks everyone! I mean it!

I liked it tho! :)
