Speech System Go!

Got the dialog interface up and running. Baby steps learning a new engine. Once I have the basics figured out, an adventure game is pretty easy to script overall. (continue reading)

A Room With a Twist

Got a headache all of a sudden…

Here we encounter the old swing set and what appears to be a nasty warp in reality. We probably don’t want to know what’s back there. But we’ll go investigate anyway, soon. Fun fact: That playground equipment is based on the one my kids had when they were younger. (continue reading)

Black and Blue

Black and Blue. Wrecking kids for decades.

The original short story I’m using as a spine for Something Seeps (Knee Deep) always started with Jeremy walking through the old front yard filled with broken playground equipment and old memories. One of them is Black and Blue, the nickname for the old tree out front with a poorly placed tire swing. (continue reading)

Around the House

This is my old AGS jog around the house to show the basic layout. Note that this is lower resolution and not as detailed as the rework I’m making in Unity, but it gives a good idea of the visual mood of the game. (continue reading)

Video: Bad Hemochines

O’Sirus has wandered into the Knobbly Crook’s Hemochine festival, which is really a one-man show by the infamous Osmo the Breaker. There’s a lot of fun and terrifying stuff to do here, but nothing quite as pants-filling as the spookhouse. Beware! (continue reading)
