Let's Play Updates (March 2024)

I dunno, CON2 had some pretty broken characters. Fights against Gaara were tough, he would block absolutely everything, then attack you with nearly unlockable attacks from anywhere in the arena.

But, having said that, I admit that the balance was pretty off. And the enemy AI can be pretty predictable. It's fun if you want to feel like a super powerful ninja badass. But not exactly ripe for competitive play. Then again, I've never been a competitive gamer, so that might be why I like it.

Let's Play Updates (March 2024)

Oh, Clash of Ninja. A surprisingly decent little fighting game. CON2 was more fleshed out, but both were actually decent. I miss them.

Creating Infinite, Dynamic Content

Great advice here, I'm taking notes for things to potentially implement in my own game. Thrall uses a lot of random generation with its loot and dungeons, and the principles are much the same as what you're describing here, but I could definitely do more. Thanks for the great article!

Goaling It 2024

I'm happy to say I hit my goal last year of finally paying off my student loans. My goals for this year are a bit different though.
1. Make a career change. Done with blue collar work, I genuinely want a boring (stable) office job.
2. Finish at least 6 dungeons in my game.
3. Get my blue belt in Jiu Jitsu.
4. Start building a business.

I'm turning 30 next month and I want to start taking life more seriously. Hoping I can make some really positive changes this year.

Walkthrough Artwork Guide

Thanks again kiyasu! This was a great secret Santa gift!

Secret Santa 2023 ::

Thanks so much kiyasu! If you're okay with me sharing them, I'd love to put your gift on the One Hour game page in a media section! I'm sure future players would find the videos very helpful, and I love the art! Also, you're right, the theme was poison. The character mistakenly cooked and ate a highly toxic mushroom that's easily mistaken for an edible one, and has very little time to concoct a treatment. The flare gun is used to call for medical help, while the treatment helps survive long enough for them to arrive. Everything referenced in the game is actually based on real-world events. The pages describe what's happening.

And I'm glad you liked your gift, pianotm! I guess I was overthinking it, but spoiler alert, I do that a lot. If you would like me to make the video public, I'm perfectly happy to do so, otherwise you can save the link and it can be just for you! :)

Secret Santa 2023 ::

Oh god, everyone went HARD on their gifts this year. I feel like I tried to do something thoughtful and personal, but now I'm worried it wasn't enough. I mean, I honestly don't know how much more I could have done with how busy I've been this season, but still. You've all given me some good ideas as to what to do next year.

Secret Santa 2023 ::

Really loved the article and fan art! Can't wait to check out the let's plays! I'm guessing kyasu, but I could be wrong.

Also, I'm new to this, was the gift supposed to be anonymous? Libby, if you managed to find a way to do that I'm impressed. I kind of thought the reveal would happen when the gifts were given. Next year I'll keep that in mind.
