I made this site to serve as a hub for my game development hobby. There
|
||
|
|
is no theme, there is no incentive, just pure passion and efficient code.
|
||
|
|
I'll be sharing previews, progress, and generally whatever comes to mind.
|
||
|
|
So that's what this site is for! And this post contains a bunch of previews
|
||
|
|
of things I've worked on that <b>might</b> become their own game in the
|
||
|
|
future.

<a href="https://www.roblox.com/games/9987852646/Cart-Ride-Around-a-Fumo">Cart Ride Around a Fumo</a>
|
||
|
|
is my own spin on the cart ride genre that was all over in the olden days
|
||
|
|
of ROBLOX. It's a labor of love with way too much effort put into it, but
|
||
|
|
I like to look back at it and try to match that level of quality for
|
||
|
|
everything I do.

I spent a whole two months on it and again, put way more effort into it
|
||
|
|
than I should have, but that's just how I roll (⌐■_■). I actually got a
|
||
|
|
lot of my cousins to playtest it and everybody had a lot of fun blowing
|
||
|
|
each other up. Which I like to think is what kickstarted my passion.

Around ten people play it daily and people are still donating despite
|
||
|
|
its age, so I definitely did something right. (^_^) It even has a
|
||
|
|
couple videos on it, one of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jjep6xt3PiM">friends just having fun</a>,

I actually planned to release a major update for it which would have added
|
||
|
|
cart customization and a track editor. But the update grew too large in
|
||
|
|
scope and is now being developed as its own standalone game.

It's nothing too interesting in my opinion but here's what one of the
|
||
|
|
menus looked like.

The <a href="https://www.roblox.com/games/13051172029/Five-Nights-at-Kanyes-FNAK-CLASSIC">original FNAK</a>
|
||
|
|
was made in only a few hours but my friends really liked the idea so I fleshed it
|
||
|
|
out a bit more and released a <a href="https://www.roblox.com/games/11229358049/Five-Nights-at-Kanyes-FNAK">remastered version</a>
|
||
|
|
just for fun. A few people liked it and sent me messages asking for a second
|
||
|
|
entry so I actually worked on it for a bit.

The story I had in mind was that this was a prequel to the first game,
|
||
|
|
and this was the night you broke into Kanye's house to steal DONDA 3
|
||
|
|
for Twitter clout <s>(now called x lol)</s>. Over the course of five
|
||
|
|
nights you <h>(and up to 3 other friends)</h> were supposed to collect
|
||
|
|
story items that would unlock another room after each night.
|
||
|
|
</text>
|
||
|
|
<text>
|
||
|
|
Kanye was also intended to have a better than average AI that would actively
|
||
|
|
hunt you down as you made mistakes. Something as small as leaving a light on
|
||
|
|
would make him suspicious and have him start to slowly but surely hunt you
|
||
|
|
down <h>(working as a soft time limit)</h>.
|
||
|
|
</text>
|
||
|
|
<text>
|
||
|
|
For some added suspense, the music changes as Kanye's suspicious level changes.
|
||
|
|
All the way from clueless to chasing you down. It is based on Kanye's track
|
||
|
|
<a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/3JWiDGQX2eTlFvKj3Yssj3">Closed on Sunday</a>
|
||
|

Project Z is a <i>player-versus-player, first-person shooter, zombie survival</i>
|
||
|
|
game where you barricade yourself into a room and fight off zombified
|
||
|
|
players for six waves with each wave unlocking new zombie classes and
|
||
|
|
zombie bosses. <h>Did you get all that?</h>
|
||
|
|
</text>
|
||
|
|
<text>
|
||
|
|
I worked on a few systems <h>(UI, Social, Weapons, etc)</h> but never
|
||
|
|
got around to making an actual working prototype to fully test the
|
||
|
|
idea out. Even worse is that changes to ROBLOX suddenly broke my
|
||
|
|
scripts so I can't even show them off except for in this equally
|
||
|
|
terrible quality video.
|
||
|
|
</text>
|
||
|
|
<text>
|
||
|
|
It's definitely a cool idea and I will most likely revisit it in the
|
||
|
|
future and give the love it deserves. This idea actually borrows a ton
|
||
|
|
from the original <a href="https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=105462463">Garry's Mod Zombie Survival</a>
|
||
|
|
which I used to play it all the time back in middle school and really
|
||
|
|
wanted to bring the idea to modern audiences.

Well, I'm going back to working on that standalone project I mentioned
|
||
|
|
earlier! It's called Project Monke and you can think of it as Super
|
||
|
|
Monkey Ball and Super Mario Maker put together. It has online services
|
||
|
|
<h>(which is why you can create an account btw)</h> so that should give
|
||
|
|
you an idea of how large of a scope this project has.
|
||
|
|
</text>
|
||
|
|
<text>
|
||
|
|
If you make an account there isn't really a whole lot you can do with it
|
||
|
|
now, except for some profile customization and security related features.
|
||
|
|
I'll be adding comments to the site at a later date, but for now the
|
||
|
|
foundation has been set.
