Please enjoy the game and give me your moneys! :)John Walliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00639798919259146219noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6064742993450252183.post-74384966543295671512019-11-18T07:58:00.001-05:002019-11-18T07:58:42.041-05:00McBean, platform shooter game coming soonA few months ago I was playing "Cool Beans," a shooting game prototype by Chad Chisholm, which <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20141016041022/http://sandbox.yoyogames.com/games/4920-cool-beans" target="_blank">you can still download</a> using the wayback machine on the yoyogames sandbox. I've played the demo several times over the years. It's just fun to shoot different weapons at different kinds of beans. Unfortunately the game is very short and leaves you wanting more after clearing out all the enemies in the first & only level.<br />
<br />
I realized that as a game developer I have the power to take the idea behind this Cool Beans prototype and create a full fledged game. So I drew some beans, and gave them walking animations, guns, and sunglasses. I've been working on the game on and off for about 4 months, and now it's almost done! I present to you, McBean:<br />

The final game has 5 levels, 7 different weapons, and a few secrets. I plan to release the game commercially on <a href="https://orange08.itch.io/" target="_blank">my itch.io page</a>, but I haven't decided on the price yet. There is already an old demo with 2 levels on it that <a href="https://orange08.itch.io/mcbean" target="_blank">you can give a try for free</a>.<br />
<br />
McBean will be ready for release either sometime later this week, or possibly next week if there are any unforeseen difficulties.<br />
<br />
<br />
In other news, for some reason I forgot to post on here about my 2 latest game releases. I released <a href="https://orange08.itch.io/bounce-buds" target="_blank">Bounce Buds</a>, a 2 player volleyball game, last year in July. I also released a game called <a href="https://orange08.itch.io/voltage" target="_blank">Voltage</a> last year in October, a single player game with a zapping mechanic. I made voltage in 2 days.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for the McBean release!<br />

This is because I have been busy with real life dilemmas and work. However, I have been squeezing in a tiny bit of game dev work in my free time.<br />
<br />
Firstly, in December of last year I participated in Ludum Dare 40. I made a game called Surplus Snakes, it's available for <a href="https://orange08.itch.io/surplus-snakes" target="_blank">download on itch.io</a>, or you can play the browser version on <a href="https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/703084" target="_blank">Newgrounds</a>. The theme for LD40 was "The more you have, the worse it is," so I made a traditional-ish snake game where a new snake is birthed at your tail every time you eat a pellet.<br />
<br />

<br />
In January this year I released a new screensaver which I have been tinkering with on and off for a long time. It randomizes the design it creates every 10 seconds or so, so you can get some interesting varieties. It's available for <a href="https://orange08.itch.io/randomizing-screensaver" target="_blank">download on itch.io</a>.<br />

<br />
I've also recently been working on a 2 player volleyball game, which now has online 2 player functionality, thanks to <a href="https://yal.cc/" target="_blank">YellowAfterlife</a>. It's very close to being finished right now, I just have to decide on a title and finish up some small details.<br />

<i>Customizable headwear and hairstyle, woohoo!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Earlier this month I also began working on another game, temporarily titled clumpheads. The game has both a single player mode and a 2 player mode. In some respects it's a typical platformer, but the levels are randomly generated and there are items which can be picked up and used in a similar fashion to Spelunky.<br />

<br />
It takes quite a bit of verve for me to keep up all these different hobbies and projects, which is why I haven't spent much time writing on this blog for the last several months. Anyway, keep an eye out for the volleyball game, because I should be releasing it very soon. Thanks for reading! <br />

The
game has been set at $5 for purchase, but please note that if you are a Kickstarter backer,
you should already have a steam code in your e-mail inbox!<br />

<br />
I am aware that No Man's Sky is also coming out this month, on the 9th... it's unfortunate that our release dates had to be so close, but there's no way I can avoid it. On the kickstarter for my game, the estimated release date I set was August this year, and I'm glad that I have been able to finish the game on time.<br />

I know I haven't posted much since the successful Kickstarter for Gebub's Adventure. This is because I have been busy working on the game. Those of you who backed the project will have received an update earlier this month on the 16th regarding the game's credits. I am using backers' kickstarter(.com) usernames and I want you guys to contact me if you'd rather use a different name(perhaps your real name). If you are someone who has backed the project and missed this, please read <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/orange08/gebubs-adventure/posts/1606154" target="_blank">the Kickstarter update here</a> to see about finding your name in the credits. The update also includes info on how to contact me if you'd like to change your credited name.<br />
<br />
Marius, the composer for Gebub's Adventure, has also been making a lot of progress on music and sound for the different areas. Everything is coming together nicely and it feels really good to be this close to finishing. I'm trying to get a beta ready soon, but there are still just a few things I need to polish and finish up first! It should be ready within 2 weeks, earlier than that if things go well!<br />

It was a real nail-biter, with 64% of the goal being raised in the final 5 days of the campaign. In the end, we raised just $16 over the goal.<br />
<br />
I am thankful to everyone who backed the project, and everyone who helped spread the word(be it on social media or elsewhere)! Gebub's Adventure still has a long way to go, but having a successful Kickstarter campaign is a great motivator and I will be doing my best to finish the game, and finish it well.<br />
<br />
I will keep you guys updated as the game continues to progress. Also, have a happy Mother's Day :)<br />

As I am typing this the game has already reached over 10% of it's funding goal. Many of my friends & followers have been backing the game and helping me to promote it on twitter, I feel extremely fortunate to have such dedicated supporters.<br />
<br />
The greenlight campaign(Steam) for Gebub's Adventure was launched quite a while back, in early February, to be precise, but it ended up getting stuck in greenlight limbo, so I decided it would be a good idea to re-launch using the new trailer & new content that I have been working on. The previous greenlight trailer was recorded back when the game was only 30 FPS, so I'm hopeful that things will go better now that everything is in smooth 60 FPS. You can check out the <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=660438817" target="_blank">new greenlight page right here</a>!<br />
<br />
On the Kickstarter, I posted an update today showing one of the doodles in my notebook for gebub's adventure, and how it turned out looking in the game itself, have a look:<br />

It's really beneficial for me to look back at my early plans for the game, a lot of ideas were scrapped, but these older scribblings can still inspire new ideas to appear in my brain.John Walliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00639798919259146219noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6064742993450252183.post-4764201181573365752016-04-05T12:25:00.000-04:002016-04-05T12:25:05.151-04:00Gebub's Adventure Kickstarter has LAUNCHED<a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/orange08/gebubs-adventure" target="_blank">The Kickstarter for Gebub's Adventure has officially launched</a>!<br />

I was very eager to participate.<br />
<br />
I made <a href="http://orange08.itch.io/screen-flavor" target="_blank">a very colorful screensaver</a>, using surfaces to achieve some interesting effects.<br />

My screensaver was even linked to on the <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2016/01/25/screen-saver-jam/" target="_blank">rockpapershotgun post about the jam</a>. They said about it: "These colours hurt my eyes in pleasant ways."<br />
You can download my screensaver, named <a href="http://orange08.itch.io/screen-flavor" target="_blank">"Screen Flavor" right now on itch.io</a>!<br />

In other news, my latest actual game project, Gebub's Adventure is progressing very well. There are about 12 unique environments & areas so far. The latest additions to the game world are the winter mountains.<br />

If you follow me on twitter you may have seen a few gifs or screenshots of the game already. It's been in development for just over a month, and progress has been quite rapid.<br />
<br />
I'm planning to release a work-in-progress demo of the game on the 10th(of this month), which is just over one week away. You can check out the game's <a href="http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=51577.0" target="_blank">devlog on TIGSource</a> for more screenshots/gifs and a further description of the game.<br />
<br />
Make sure to keep your eyes peeled for the demo, I can't wait to hear your feedback!<br />

Actually I uploaded it to <a href="http://orange08.itch.io/snake-snafu" target="_blank">itch.io last month</a> but never got around to making an official post here.<br />
<br />
Snake Snafu is a two player(actually, up to 3 players) game where you try to survive longer than your opponent and/or cause them to crash their snake's head into a wall or your own snake body. There's lots of different levels, powerups, and game elements so I hope you will all enjoy the game.<br />
This game also features online two player, thanks to <a href="http://yal.cc/" target="_blank">YellowAfterlife</a>.(single player mode is included as well, but it may feel a bit empty/boring).<br />
<br />
Anyway, make sure to <a href="http://orange08.itch.io/snake-snafu" target="_blank">download and give it a go, on itch.io! </a><br />

<br />
I participated in the jam and created an arcade action shooter called <a href="http://gamejolt.com/games/pew-pew-heads/80478" target="_blank">Pew Pew Heads</a>.<br />

I had a lot of fun making this game. I opted for the scribbly MS paint graphical style in an attempt to make progress faster. Also keep in mind that all the games created for this jam have GameJolt highscores! So you can compete for a high ranking on my game's highscore hall of fame! :)<br />
<br />

Currently, I have 3 very active game projects... all of which are nearly ready for a public release.<br />
<br />
Priority Game #1:<br />
Plasma Fist<br />
<br />
Literally everything is finished except the music... I'm currently waiting for a very busy composer to make at least 1 more music track. I'm probably going to search for a few beta testers to try out the game and give me some feedback before a public release.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Priority Game #2:<br />
Seimbein<br />
<br />
My experimental game. Music wasn't too much of a problem with this one... I've got pretty much everything finished, just awaiting a little bit of beta tester feedback before a public release(also I'm not releasing Seimbein until I first release Plasma Fist).<br />

<br />
<br />
Priority Game #3:<br />
Snake Snafu<br />
<br />
Snake Snafu is a quick little 2-player game project I started working on a few weeks ago. It utilizes <a href="http://yal.cc/" target="_blank">YellowAfterLife</a>'s online 2P system for GameMaker Studio... which allows you to play the game in 2 player mode with someone else who is on another computer online.<br />
Of course the game also features 2P hotseat, where both players are using the same keyboard.<br />
I had a lot of fun working on this one.<br />
<br />

The weekend is coming...<br />
<br />
... and Ludum Dare looks very tempting at the moment. I'm going to wait and see what the theme turns out to be... if I like it, I very well might enter. If I don't like it... oh well... maybe next time.John Walliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00639798919259146219noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6064742993450252183.post-85388547389567660682015-02-24T16:55:00.000-05:002015-02-24T16:57:36.636-05:00New Game Project, Painting, ChessI've been working on a variety of things lately: a new game, acrylic paintings and chess.<br />
<br />
My new game project is an experimental platformer called Seimbein.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiex4fZ03aKeukwvyBPTgbRdPCy4NVPnysJPXBC8niaxvDDNINEIRJpCdovJ_wEPwFZf_4JCt29znaYl_ByvMfiqLQ4m05B2J1ecdczczUm_vsw2pB2nOLvhVrk-aVQtyNmqUbFyJzosiGK/s1600/screenshot205.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiex4fZ03aKeukwvyBPTgbRdPCy4NVPnysJPXBC8niaxvDDNINEIRJpCdovJ_wEPwFZf_4JCt29znaYl_ByvMfiqLQ4m05B2J1ecdczczUm_vsw2pB2nOLvhVrk-aVQtyNmqUbFyJzosiGK/s1600/screenshot205.png" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Seimbein is an infinite exploration game with procedurally generated structures. The characters you encounter in the game(like the one in the screenshot) are also randomized in appearance and the sentences they speak are generated by a sentence generator.<br />
There are a lot of different elements, to mention them all here would spoil the game. For the most part my intention is to leave the player to discover everything themselves.<br />
<br />
Seimbein is not very far from completion, however I've decided not to release it until I've released my previous project, Plasma Fist. Plasma Fist still has a lack of music so I'm working quite actively now to resolve that.<br />
<br />
Next, I've been doing a lot of paintings with acrylic. I've actually been doing acrylic paintings for quite some time, however, this will be the first time I've ever talked about it on my blog.<br />
<br />

<br />
You can check out my paintings on my Redbubble portfolio: <a href="http://www.redbubble.com/people/johnwallie" target="_blank">http://www.redbubble.com/people/johnwallie</a><br />
On Redbubble you can purchase my paintings printed on cards, tote bags, pillows, iDevice cases and even coffee mugs(or you can purchase regular prints of the paintings as well). I still have most of the originals of the paintings posted on my Redbubble page, so if you'd like to purchase an original, just email me and I'll let you know the details about the particular painting you're interested in and what the price is.<br />
<br />
The last thing I've been working on is chess. I play it fairly often online and recently I played in my first tournament(real life, not online). The tournament went well, I was undefeated after the 4th, final round. 3 wins, 1 draw. I got a clean 2nd place(meaning no one tied with me). I quite enjoy the game of chess. It's a great game to stimulate and exercise your brain.<br />

Today I'm going to tell you about my latest project, Plasma Fist. It's a game I've been tinkering with since April of 2014. To get an idea of what the game is like, you might say it's what you'd get if you put Lode Runner and Spelunky into a blender.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>ladders, ladders, ladders! </i></div>
<br />
The game is basically almost finished... I just need to give it a bit of polish, and find someone to compose a few music tracks for it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUK5x6FHwQtBiKXzKnN-TfQlUqlHYbGZiQPHQQXaowCXdeTRKXeJMlqp16g7XjbYCw2LHAvs6ELYZ1z4ya6IoNkirryj3304JDWiKaDlZkhvacW0w7os6VAjKFFhID9Df89UwRSwPHX5nZ/s1600/screenshot103.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUK5x6FHwQtBiKXzKnN-TfQlUqlHYbGZiQPHQQXaowCXdeTRKXeJMlqp16g7XjbYCw2LHAvs6ELYZ1z4ya6IoNkirryj3304JDWiKaDlZkhvacW0w7os6VAjKFFhID9Df89UwRSwPHX5nZ/s1600/screenshot103.png" height="266" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The game contains 7 levels, filled with a variety of enemies and obstacles... you start out with 5 lives, so you have to be careful... because if you die, you'll have to start over at level 1. I've also implemented GameJolt highscores. There are 2 highscore categories, one for highest money score(top right number on screen), and one for quickest time(if you finish all 7 levels). So competitive speedrunning is possible just as it is in one of my other games, Maximus Cerebrum.<br />
<br />
That's all for now, I guess. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to leave them below! :)<br />
