The site is finally back, dont that kick a little ass?
Anyway, this is just a short little post about what ive been up to while the website was down.

Firstly in terms of TGSET 3 quite a bit of work was done, mainly just the story but i also made an awesome new menu screen im super happy with! I prolly wont show it here, but it was heavily based off the album cover for Red Dicks Potato Garden by Emil Bulls (Slight NSFW warning lmao) and the cover for the Last Rites demo by Megadeth.

Then for my other projects, im pretty much almost finished with a doom mod ive been working on here and there whenever i got bored, its in the same vibe of my other projects with a ton of ridiculous shit (mainly the weapons) so im excited to release that! I also made a stupid little game for the RMN 17th birthday event on the discord server, the game is about the one and only Fred Durst! If you want, heres the link:

Anyways, i THINK thats about all i have to say for now, thanks for reading!

Ive got some time to kill, so i decided to share some cut, cancelled and unused stuff from all the tgset games!
Firstly, when TGSET 1 was being made, i didnt quite land with the name of The Guy nor the game itself, so for a little while The Guy was actually called Talented Guy and so was the game. Why did i call him that? No clue! he was actually supposed to just be a placeholder sprite until i made something better but i loved the design so much i decided to give him a better name and the rest was history. If youd like to see some shitty ms paint title and loss screens from the Talented Guy era then ive attached them below! i think theyre still in the files for TGSET 1 lmao



Now for TGSET 2, Outside for a few indev title screens, there isnt much cut content here, but one of the games ending was supposed to be about The Guy killing both god and satan (iirc as a sorta thing where he goes to hell, kills satan there then kills god for sending him to hell) but i decided against it cause it just felt outta place so it only really remained as a funny idea.
Also, i was gonna add a house where you could meet my at the time friend group, everyone would have their own little room and youd get something from everyone but i never finished it so i just kinda scrapped it. Also if you wanna count it then there was the unfinished expansion called All Hell Breaks Loose, which was just kinda an expansion upon the hell ending of the game. Lately ive been considering completely remaking it completely and also making an expansion for the non canon ending of TGSET 1, but im not sure about that yet, so let me know how you feel about that idea!

Now, for TGSET 3.
I cant recall much cut content but there will probably appear more as i make the game, although after the first hallucination in the game i had no clue where The Guy would end up, so there was a bit of cut maps made for it which i sadly deleted so i cant show them. I remember first i had the idea of a forest, but kinda had no clue where to go from there, so then i was gonna have him wake up to his house being set on fire, which i also scrapped in favor of him just waking up at home to keep things simple. There was also the idea of having optional teammates in the game, but thatd be way too complicated and not that interesting so i kept the format of you meeting new mandatory characters as you progress in the story.

Thats all i can think of, maybe once i remember some more i can come back and add some stuff here, or as a sorta bonus in TGSET 3. Thanks for reading!

As of lately i realized something, TGSET 3's early sections kinda suck shit in terms of writing! like even for my standards as a pretty subpar writer the writing is just not good! theres alot of TGSET 2 writing remenants here, mainly based on dumb convos with my friends which while is a fun writing style clashed kinda badly with the later section. So ive been rewriting alot of stuff here and i think its fairly solid so far!

And about interactivity, ive noticed how fun it is to put dinky little gags in environments, so ive been trying to put some more of those in the game! Once the full thing is out make sure to interact with anything, sometimes youll get items from it, sometimes a laugh if our humor aligns (which isnt likely, but oh well) but sometimes it can go a bit south, so watch out! I also wanna try adding some short little side quests you can do, like a robbery task you can do to get some cash, but watch out! the cops are gonna try to stop you!

Anyways thats all, thanks for reading!

I did some more pondering, and i decided im probably gonna go with one longer more focused story for this game, since i feel like having everything in one story is better than having 2 seperate stories, and the main issue i had with one story (less replayability value (although i doubt anyone would wanna replay this)) is sorta counteracted by the planned enhanced mode, that lets you have more fun with everything the game will have to offer. I think having one story could help me hopefully make it a better story than if i had 2 seperate ones! im still far from a decent writer, but i feel like focusing on one thing could help learning.

I got bored last night and ported the game to Android! It works surprisingly well, but custom names and the bump sound plugin had to be removed.. Anyway, try it here!
