Finally posting a new update in months. Here's what I'm currently working on.
Little Hatchet
I'm working with longtime web programmer @Erik on Little Hatchet, a game for Figburn's July Game Jam. The theme is 'Egg'.
Our unborn protagonist must roll through a large labyrinth-like barnhouse in order to escape from a corrupt, inhumane farmer.
This will be the first serious game project I'll be making and first time collaborating on a game.
We're each going to do what we're good at. Erik is programming the thing, while I'm doing the art, music, and level design.
So far, no major programming was done yet. While we started as soon as the theme was announced, Erik was on holiday and couldn't do much work besides a basic tile editor.
To give you an idea of what we're going for, here's a screenshot of an empty room using the tiles I created.
And speaking of music, listen to the soundtrack here:
Erik returned to Newgrounds after 3+ years of development on the Happy Wheels-inspired JollyWorld, which I have supported for at least 8 months, from making high-quality levels (and a few joke ones), to moderating the Discord server. I also created and hosted a massive collaboration where 10 people made a level together. In fact, my time with JollyWorld was how Erik and I met.
Tankman Triweekly
I've moved Tankman Triweekly to its own account. Go follow @TankmanTriweekly for new issues spread around the week. Or month.
