Chill Update To Study/Relax To

Game Development, Gaming, Videos & Streaming

I haven’t been doing my usual stuff for awhile, so here’s a long, chill update video to watch explaining what’s been going on and what’s going to happen!

If you don’t want to listen to me ramble for thirty minutes, then here’s the highlights:

  • A lot of stressful events have occurred within the past half-a-year that led me to experience heightened panic disorder symptoms and creative burnout (which I have since recovered from).
    • I decided to take a gap semester before transferring colleges later this year.
    • I was involved with a confidential project that currently holds an unknown fate.
    • I had a panic attack when I last streamed game development, which led to unhealthy avoidance behavior.
    • I got diagnosed with a sinus infection and was prescribed antibiotics, which indirectly heightened my anxiety.
  • I’m going to work on one or two small games to fully get myself back into the gamedev mindset.
  • I’m going to start streaming again, starting tomorrow! I will be experimenting with schedules to see what works best for me.
  • Garb & Corncob: Copyright Calamity is still happening, but it’s on hold for now while I work on the aforementioned smaller games. I will most likely rewrite the game’s code as well as redesign the battle system, while carrying over existing art and story elements.

Whether you watch the video or read the blog post, thanks for listening to what I have to say and keeping up with my stuff! Tis much appreciated!

Monkey Wrench: Intro to Computer Game Design Final Project

Game Development, Videos & Streaming

My final group project for my Intro to Computer Game Design class consisted of taking a design document and using it to build a working prototype. A few weeks after the initial assignment, lead designer Alex White, level designer Kenneth Fugate, programmer Mika Nelson, and I are proud to present Monkey Wrench: a puzzle game about a monkey who is also a wrench! I have added this project to the Games page, and it can be downloaded from the itch page!

Steamed Hams but it’s the Garb & Corncob Prototype

Game Development, Videos & Streaming

In January, I discussed an RPG prototype I’d been working on, known as Project GaRbPG. At last, I finally have some footage to share, in addition to a working title: Garb & Corncob.

Despite the joke nature of this video for April Fool’s Day, this is indeed footage from the prototype. These cutscenes were programmed by me within Unity; the only post-production changes were the title cards and the scene transitions.

I still have plenty of work ahead of me for the prototype, so I can not confirm when I will have more information to share, but rest assured that this is a real game that I really intend to release at some point.

EKU Global Game Jam 2018 Results: Package Handler

Game Development, Videos & Streaming

Global Game Jam 2018 has come to an end, and with that, our team has created Package Handler – a VR prototype about transmitting boxes between conveyer belts. We’re planning on developing this prototype further, as we’ve received plenty of positive feedback on it and just overall had a blast working on it.

The prototype can be downloaded here.

For those without access to VR, you can watch this gameplay demonstration in the meantime:
