Due to road work, it now takes me an hour to get home from work leaving less time for game dev throughout the week. So I've changed my schedule to do game art during the week and game dev on the weekends until road work is done.

So many buttons... This is what I deserve for making a dress-up game...

Each button has to be made with a bought version and an un-bought version, then programed to work.

This past week I’ve been working on Muhammad Eliphant’s fight, most of it is done except for a few tweaks that need to be made (adding his special attack, small adjustments to animation/movement).

Also, my brother and I have picked up our Thursday game dev discussions again and we should be able to push out our first game close to the end of the year. He’s doing the art, I’m taking care of the programming. Exciting stuff!

25/07/2017

Just worked on art for Cool Beans today, felt like being artistic. I’ve also had some ideas that I might try with Jungle Rumble, I’ll let you know if they work!

23/07/2017

Been out of town the past few days and had family visit, so haven’t been able to work on games, but my wife and I are back so I’ll be able to resume work!

20/07/2017

Added most of Muhammad Eliphant’s sprites into the project and made a few tweaks to their behaviors. Also made some fixes so that Henry Apestrong and Muhammad Eliphant are tougher, take less damage from punches. (They should be a bit tougher than a monkey after all.)

Only added one character to Cool Beans today, a tribute to Jungle Rumble actually, so you’ll see a Leon King bean in the game!

19/07/2017

As I’ve been working on Muhammad Eliphant’s programming, I realized I don’t like the way the dizzy effect looks, so I’ve made the spinning bananas their own animation anchored to Jack Chimpsey when he’s dizzy. And it looks much better! I might add it to the demo one of these days, I’ll let you know if I do.

It’s always exciting to find faster ways to work on the game, and I found a shortcut today that will save me a couple hours of work on Jungle Rumble! So Muhammad Eliphant’s fight should be close to finished by the end of next week (except for sound effects).

Also been working on more art for Cool Beans, and I’ve enjoyed how it’s been turning out! Added a cowboy, angel, devil, pirate, robot, teacher, and construction worker to the mix. Previously completed art for some fantasy, sports, Christmas, international, and presidential characters (Trump looks pretty funny).

Now I’m off to complete the Trial of the Sword in Zelda: Breath of the Wild…

Unfortunately the Kickstarter for Jungle Rumble was unsuccessful, but this has actually made me rethink a few thinks and I’m taking a different approach to game development now!

I have not been good at using social media in my life, but I want to change that. I’ve never been good at posting my thoughts on Facebook or other social media partly because I haven’t felt like I had anything interesting to say. But with game development, I feel I have more to throw out to the internet, and I want to try to feel more comfortable getting my thoughts out there.

I also don’t want to feel “chained down” by Jungle Rumble, I have a lot of ideas and want to work on them all. I had worried that I might not get to finishing games if I didn’t just focus on one, but now that I’ve been trying to do that, I don’t enjoy it. So I plan to work on a couple of projects at the same time, so if I’m not in the mood to work on one, I have the option to work on another, which helps me be more productive and consistent instead of choosing not to work on anything at all. For example, the art is finished for Jungle Rumble, so when I’m in an artistic mood, it’s nice to have the option to do art instead of “forcing” myself to work on programming.

Goals:

Top priority right now is Jungle Rumble. Even with working on multiple projects, I still plan on a release date of Oct 29th (the day of the Rumble in the Jungle, the inspiration for the title of the game).

I’ve begun work on my next project, a free-to-play game, entitled Cool Beans. It’s going to be a fun little project that shouldn’t take too long to make. I actually plan to have it finished at the end of the year! It’ll also have updates through out it’s game life.

For the blog, this is my first time ever doing a blog, but I plan on making a post after every session of game development to inform people of what I’m working on, and to possibly spew some thoughts from my head.
