The third installment

The third game in the series is almost done. I've made an 8bit tileset, going for a low file size. This game will be about Will Smith and how he ended up doing the Devil's work and it is pretty blinking rude. Not sure if you can upload rude games here.

Announcement

Nice start to the year.

Indie Game Hunt had my game in their top 15 games of 2012! What a compliment!

Also that incredibly popular,beardy-lets-play guy is currently playing my game/s.

I never thought my first game would ever become so popular.

A very positive review from an incredible place

Got sent a link earlier today. What was it? Only the specialist journalism website The Arts Desk reviewing my game! And such a positive review too! Weird.

"This game is a journey through
the purgatory of conscience and
into the peace of acceptance"

First review in for the Double Feature by Indie Statik

First review in for the Double Feature by Indie Statik. So, if anything, at least people are somewhat affected by this game. Quite well written article for a game equivalent of mental diarrhea

"From trashy internet memes to high brow literature and mythology, Will You Ever Return? quite capably fixes together all parts of modern culture"

New Stuff - Massive Add On

New Shit! Yes indeedy! A new playable character, new "battle system", a new story arc, new animations, new music. You name it. Basically a whole new level tacked on to the end of the first bit.

Game Design

to separate the wheat from the chaff - a manifesto on level 2

(this is like a private manifesto)
*Part 2 will draw upon it's influences more tastefully.
*It will let the chaff fall away.
*It will be closed for comment but this time not because it is overtly ironic but because it is overtly surface value.
*The surface will remain a surface and, should anything be appreciated it will be because of the undertow of references.
*Dante's Inferno and Bosch are substituted for Hades' Underworld and Bulgakov's demons.
*There will be blood.
*The idea of hell can only be illustrated because of limited imaginations. By this mind-set Hell should always verge on cliche. Personal Hells explored/ multiplicity.
*Don't appeal to a wide audience. Satisfy oneself with creativity/ don't pander to even a niche.

Yes i know - the Bully hath no shadow and Little Darling's spot-light ought to flicker.

New content coming within the month

Yoski Woski,
Because this game, to my complete surprise and thanks largely to IndieGames.com et al, has become so popular (over a thousand downloads in 2 weeks would you believe!) I'm adding a second level. Some test screens of which can be seen here:



All I can say is that it will follow a new character's journey.

Done and Dusty

So the game is done but there is a strange/ amazing glitch the naked men's heads pop off when you go up-screen
but I'm not going to iron it out. Irony is still abundant but there is a skeleton of sincerity in there. Hope you like it.

Progress Report

Problem with irony

The problem with irony is that it acts as a shield and defends one from criticism. Now the line is truly blurred between irony and sincerity and it is not a good thing. Irony acts as a defence against any form of criticism - I was being ironic - but also destroys any vulnerability, naivety or true, humbling sincerity.
I've realised I've been using this armour with this game and I hope to dispel some of that over the next few days. As yet, I'm not sure how. Satire? Scepticism?
