Hey All,
Good news most of the artwork is almost done!! That is the biggest hurdle for me in development and it’s almost nearing completion with that part.
I have already started testing Chapter 3. I wanted to show you a sneak peak of this testing. In the video below I am showing going from the…

Hey All,
I have not abandoned the project, I have just been insanely busy and in my free time have been doing other things besides working on the game.
I still plan on completing the game. What does completion mean? For me that is Chapter 3, Steam, and Android port. I just do not have an…

Hey All,
So Roll and Throw Game Mode is complete and Coin Rush is almost complete as well. Couple things I’m adding to it.
I think I may include 1 more Game Mode before I release this update so most likely looking at another week before release.
After that I will concentrate on chapt…

Hey All,
Just wanted to share a juicy update of what I am currently working on. 1 of the new game modes for 1.6 is called “Roll and Throw”. In this game mode you play the game with Chemo Balloons as your weapon in place of the Bat. Still a WIP but wanted to show you what it will be like. I’m…

Hey All,
This update was mostly focused on the MFI Controller. The game was playable using the controller at launch but was limited to just controlling the main character. Now the game is FULLY compatible with the controller.
You can play the whole game, control menus, buy items, etc WITHOUT EVE…

Hey All,
Sarah is still home on hospice care. She is comfortable but steadily declining. Only thing we can do is be by her side and talk about memories, good times, and how much we love her.
I’ve tried my hardest while she was sleeping to get this game completed so I can submit to Apple. I’m pr…

Hello All,
I know this blog is many days past the usual time I write them and I wish I could say it was for a good reason but unfortunately that is not the case. My wife finally got to come home from the hospital after her surgery last Friday the 10th. However by that Tuesday she had taken a tu…

Hey All,
We now just finished week 20 of development. It’s amazing to actually see how much we have accomplished in 5 months, and to see what was in my head actually playable and alive. We are down to the last final weeks. I would like to have everything done in the next 2 weeks and by week 22…

- Bushes with flowers
- Picket fence
- Gate for fence (doors to other rooms)
- Grass
