Yeahhhhhh I Second This Notion.

The Adventires of Unamused Boy Part 5

And that is all the unamused boy there is for right now.

O h my god

I just hazarded a guess on what today's comp theme would be translated to, and I literally got the best percent I've ever had

I'll surely be knocked down really far by tomorrow but still this is an accomplishment-

The Adventures of Unamused Boy part 8

He return

By the way in case anyone was wondering I do in fact have a direction for this stuff it's just taking a little bit because of SC's character limit in the captions.

you say that as if you didn't help develop two of these three

My Published Hetagame Masterlist

I decided this should probably be my first hetagame-related post that I make right now since I know I have an (outdated) page full of information and links to my games BUT you can't find that on mobile and I'm too lazy to edit that right now SO I'll do my best to keep this list up to date This list is gonna contain both my solo projects and group projects I worked on.

#1 is Child's Garden This was a group project between myself, @unlimited-trash-spill @sanctuaryofstars and @noizy-bunny Game page description: Go on a little misadventure with a group of kids trying to save their beloved kindergarten from closing for good! Hijinks include launching traitors off into the sky, stealing a random bike to avoid responsibility, getting your parents arrested and more all the while trying to raise funds! Do you think you have what it takes to jump on this crazy bandwagon in hopes of making enough money to save the kindergarten? And their pudding! Never forget the pudding. The game has a warning for serious topics taken lightly, since all of the main characters are children, after all. There's also two mentioned ships which consist of two of the pairs of parents in the game, FrUK and AusHun.

#2 is Guidebooks (See the game page description for the full name I'm not typing all that lmao) This was another group project between the same people as above. Game page description: 17-year old Ludwig Beilschmidt has been invited on a camping trip by his friends Matthew, Ivan, and Kyle! He agrees, and soon enough finds himself at the campsite where the four boys intend to spend a week getting closer to nature and just having fun! The only problem is, this is Ludwig's first time in the woods. Ever. He's always been more the sort to stay home and review flash cards, rather than go outside and explore. On top of that, it turns out that Matthew isn't that great at keeping Ivan and Kyle in line. That sort of thing was usually his brother Alfred's job, who's been banned from coming with them due to Alfred-brand shenanigans. So it seems that this trip has already started out badly. Can they pull it together and end up having a fun time? Or will this camping trip end up going south? Find out in "My Friends Invited Me to go Camping, but My Only Experience Is Reading Guidebooks!" The only thing worthy of a "content warning" is that there's swearing so if you don't like that be aware ig The game contains no ships, but speaking of the game I made a dumb stupid trailer for it that's linked on the game page and I'd be very happy if you guys checked that out I worked really hard on it at the time.

Now we're getting to my solo games So technically speaking I have two currently published games but one of them is old and bad and I'm currently working on a reboot so please ignore that one thank you.

#3 is Freedom This one was a solo project that I decided to see if I could make in six days. And I did. So that's a thing. Game page description: Alfred is standing in a dark room. How did he get there? There's no way of telling. Where is he? There's no way of knowing. How long does he have to escape? Ten minutes. And it's your job to get him out. As far as warnings go, this game was made for halloween, so there's what you'd expect from a halloween game, mostly blood and cursing. Uhhhh yeahhhh that's it

This page will be expanded as I/we eventually put out more games.

Alright y'all I've seen enough people complain about this by now it's starting to get annoying

Yes, we all know these two skin tones are exactly the same. And I'll admit, I was upset about it too when I first saw it.

So why have it? Why did they give us this useless skintone?

Simple, suit completion and server demands.

We all know that the skin warm ray is exactly the same as this new skin. But what some people forget, I think, is that warm ray is already part of a suit, and therefore can't be applied to another. What does this have to do with anything? I'm sure you've noticed by now that there's no default skintone makeup in this suit, which is something people have been asking for; dark skin exclusive suits and makeups.

Well, if they wanted to be able to give the dark skinned makeup and only the dark skinned makeup as the server keeps begging for, they'd need to be able to give it in the default pose version without it looking like Nikki's doing blackface or something. So they'd need a skintone for it.

So then, they could just make it a new skintone, right? Wrong.

If they did that, people would complain because there's a high chance they'll never use it again, like they did with the suits that go with hacker's secret and heart of ghost.

Guys, they're trying their best, here. But there's no way to give only the dark skinned makeup and have it versatile with preexisting skintones unless they do this, or don't give a default pose version at all. Otherwise, they'd have to go back to giving the default skintone as the default pose version and have the dark skinned makeup be a completion prize again, which many people complained about.

I'm in no way on the devs' side about a lot of things, but this one case in particular just feels kinda dumb to me.

Anyway thank you for coming to my TED talk. Please, let's just all enjoy Barbie's birthday celebration event in peace? This is our first ever collab, and we should just try to enjoy it. Having an extra "useless" skintone ain't that deep.

Arson is the best party favor. Instead of BYOB parties let's have BYOA parties. They'll be lit.

No nice party without some good arson

Realized I should probably make a standalone post for this and not just update my masterlist because most people will not see that soooooooooo Four months ago my friend and I made a hetagame and I forgot to post about it until now!!! It's called Apple Butter and it's a small little Ukraine-centric game where you work on an apple orchard and you also make apple treats like pies and parfaits and stuff and sell them! And then you go and talk to the fellow townsfolk and also your fellow orchard workers (who happen to be ghosts!)

It's not long and it's just a small cute lil game that the two of us made in 14 days and we'd both be really happy if you checked it out!

Do we have to use royalty free music?

The three of us all have our own differing opinions of using copyrighted music in fangames and such, but there's no rule against it in our jam, so, no, not if you don't want to. The little list of copyright free music sources I put together in the FAQ was just in case someone wanted it.

Gamedev progress update from Cune and I! A text box mockup and a map WIP :D

So I feel like it should go without saying but just in case, the mockup is intentionally shitty and no we did not keep a random ass sand square we just thought it was funny.

I borrowed @sanctuaryofstars for this image because we were having some late night LN conversation

The original caption I wanted was "Me and the crew getting our magical girl powers so we can go save Flynn Love Nikki" but obviously that was not gonna fit. Curse you Love Nikki and your 50 character limits.

So anyway slightly off topic but I finally got enough shimmer stones to finish Orlando's dream weaver and

when is the boy coming home;;;; when will Flynn return;;;; save our boy;;;;;
