absolutely nothing

pretty much.

very little work being done with the unknown these days... as im sure you have noticed.
mainly because of more important real life things and just general lack of enthusiasm...

so here is a little bit of news on the game:

-ive finished the previously mentioned 'panic event' and ill make a quick video to show it off soon enough
-added a optional bloom shader, which looks nice
-ive finished the 'unknown spawning behind you' system
-a few changes to sound
-a MUCH better spawning system which will avoid the game crashing near the end (when it gets really busy)
-optimisation stuff, as all ways

here's a couple of screen shots of the shader:

Lets play's + update very soon

so its been a while... 

ANYWAY, there seem to have been a few lets plays of the unknown floating around!
(the ones i know of at least) as follows:

The best one IMO, thanks Mastermax888!:

and this one (its on the newest version as well!):

and this one, which i am getting around to watching (its 25 minutes?):

so thank you so much to these lets players, it really helpful seeing other people play the game and to hear your opinions and ideas.

also let me know if anyone know's of another lets play i haven't mentioned (or any game related video really)

ALSO, im almost ready to finish off a reasonable update to the game, with lots of new content!

so i should have that ready pretty soon.

trailers for both games complete!

pretty self explanatory, ive made trailers for both games, enjoy!

i have literally no experience with video editing so don't expect too much.

here ya go:

please comment, subscribe, like, etc.....

as all the people who make videos say

99% versions of both games

well, after more time then i like to think ive got everything i wanted to finish done with both the unknown and winter wrap up!

the unknown:

now has full sound! and trust me it makes it a hell of a lot more scary.
full working menu system, pausing, in game instructions.
mouse control! you now use the mouse to look, but you can still use the old controls as well.
map adjustments, animated grass & bushes swaying in the wind.
a melee flash attack.
countless other things since the first release!

winter wrap up:

better loading system
HEAPS of optimisation
animated grass
more map content
and various other changes!

anyway i need as much feedback as i can get with both!
please if you can, take the time to test them out, look for bugs, try out gameplay, etc.

im not going to add any more content at this point, only fix problems.
so i need lots of feedback over the next few days so i can do one more release, and call these games finished.

then i might even contact equestria gaming and try and get them on their site.
THEN i can rest

so please give both games a try, and give me some feedback.

also...
since nearly every game dev/animator/writer/musician in this fandom has a sort of moc company name for their content..
i wanted one.

so im now Tumbleweed Games
i-i made my own logo and everything...

new youtube account

well my old one was royally f**ked in every way, so felt the need to finally make a working youtube account!

http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCodhlAabLLJHV0iZHSAcdvQ

ill be uploading all video content related to my games there, including trailers for both the unknown and winter wrap up, which i plan to have done BY THE END OF THIS WEEK!

...probably

...my god i hate you google so much why the f**k do i have to now log into 3 different accounts all with the exact same name now just to be able to do things... RRRRRRR

'winter wrap up' a quick Christmas challenge game

in other news, the my little game dev room is having another competition; in this case its the 'Christmas typhoon challenge'. it involves making a (winter and pony themed) game in 4 days...

anyway this is my entry for the Christmas typhoon challenge.

its a first person sandbox game, that takes place in the annual winter wrap up!
you can choose to play as an earth pony, unicorn or pegasus (each with special abilities).
the whole goal of the game is to get XP.
you get XP by clearing snow and performing actions.

more information and controls are in the readme that's with the game.

current download link:

even though its technically done, ill do like with the unknown and make some later updates to fix things.

so its pretty much a game where you do whatever you want, not that many goals or challenges.

but still quite fun none the less!


anyway as always give the game a go and let me know what you think :)
also let me know if you find any bugs :(

aaaaand screen shots!

(open image in new tab or save to see then fully)

Update! - 1.9.1 (soundless)

IT IS DONE (sort of)

download here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?kn80zzg8f1o465c

this version has everything ive added since the original release.
most of all it has things like pausing, restarting, menu, toggle-able cheats, mouse control, HUD.

there is no sound yet, that will be added in the final release!

since its not quite full ironed out, there are still a few common issues:


-melee flash doesn't visually show
-no damage animation
-no death animation

(both of which can be fixed by re opening the game)
-jolty mouse movement
-LAG
(might just be me, but it isn't too bad most of the time)
(note you can scale the window down to reduce lag)

full change-log:


1.9.1:

added HUD
added main menu
added pause feature
added restart feature
added mouse control
added melee flash attack
added optional cheats

changed unknown design
changed the god dam FOV again
changed fog
changed the intro triggering system completely

removed all sound
put back intro quote

bug fixed'
optimised'


*****

so, enjoy!
let me know what you think!
