Don't Ask Me How I Can Type With These Claws, It's Unbearable

Let's Make: Creative Forum
#1

Hello, I’ll be using this thread as my creative repository, since I do a lot of different creative-type things.

FICTION

I occasionally write fiction. My biggest project so far has been a novella called “The Ring of Void” that you can get for pay-what-you-want (including :yaybob: FREE :yaybob:) as an e-book on Itch.io or in print on Amazon.

The book is a compilation of non-chronological vignettes that follow the adventures of a ninja psychopomp and his demonic corgi sidekick as they hunt various spirits that escaped the afterlife. Content warning: contains some very violent ghosts that would probably be rated M, but no excessively graphic depictions.

ARTICLES

I write a lot of game-related articles. Sometimes they get featured on serious sites. Some of the more recent ones are “The 100 YEN Life” on my personal site and “A Global Platform Through Western Lens” on Gamesindustry.biz

VIDEO GAME THINGS

I don’t get to do much game-related projects in my spare time, but that might change in the future. For now, my biggest claim to 5 minutes of online fame is the DOOM (2016) SnapMap called “Hot Potato: Thy Spud Consumed”:

This jump & run Doom map has been featured on Bethesda’s own streams and RockPaperShotgun declared it “DOOM’s Best SnapMap For Now and Forever”.

Let’s… Play?

You can check out my older LPs in the archive by following this link.
I recommend El Shaddai and LSD Dream Emulator as some that stand out.

So not sure how much people enjoy game prototypes, but I’ve been working on and off on a Game Maker shmup with a modular weapon system. All placeholder graphics, but I finally have the ship functionality done:

I wrote an article for PC Gamer a few months ago and it’s now available on the website: http://www.pcgamer.com/road-trip-sim-jalopy-is-a-haunting-piece-of-eastern-bloc-nostalgia/

The article is about trying to visit 90s Yugoslavia in Jalopy and how a digital road trip makes me nostalgic.

Woo, gamedev stuff finally.

I’ve been trying to learn RPG Maker MV the past week or so. I’ve made a short 10-20 minute item-hunt game called Sincerepity. You can find out more about it on the itch.io page. It’s free, since I consider it a prototype-level game.
