Finally got around understanding a bit of creative commons and stuff and decided to make a couple of songs free to use as long as proper credit is involved and such.

What a weird year this was. Better than 2023 for me but still a big piece of shit. I preferred the first half of 2024 before August because things quickly turned into a downward spiral in my case.

I'll just start with my game projects from first to last:

#1: GOMBI ACTION: BOOZE TIME

About time I actually worked on a sequel for the original! The og is most probably my best game during that year and I really like the gameboy colors and platformer jumpy pads and such that I had to make another! I think it still carried the charm from the first one while adding more character to Walter and Dimitri. Although I don't think people really liked this as much as the last one. Probably best of this series kept on being a boss rush and not anything else but hey they're in Australia who knows what adventures awaits the green duo?

#2: SUPER FREAKING WEIRD FREAKING BOWLING

Ah what a lovely game this is! Romance asked me to help with their game project and although I was super busy juggling 100 million projects.. nah I was pretty much working nothing and decided to help a friend's friend. This is my first collab project with me doing most of the sprites featured! My favorite is the Ham. Very fun and you should try it out at least once!

#3: Striving Perfection: Scalable Dreams

Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck this. This is my least favorite game of this year. Absolute horrid scores on the game jam and barely anyone played it. It sucks because this is the first published game featuring Striving Perfection characters and I have a whole good world idea for it but I wasted it's first appearance on this stupid game jam game. I'm not proud of the combat idea anymore and I just wish Mckenzie was in a different game. At least some people liked the writing (Not on here, the itch io reviewers liked it not the NG people because of course they dont care about that shit)

#4: Egoradise

The game I worked for nearly a year! And it did... pretty good. People like the music from Riley including the story and characters so that's a nice change of pace. I think only one person complained their ass off by the gameplay but I don't think they were suited for the gameplay in the first place. I'm still not certain if I should really continue it. I've been feeling pretty down and exhausted to continue adding something because it seems like nobody really gives a fuck. Maybe I'll get back to it if I have the right motivation from others or a good dick sucking I dunno.

#5: Tankmas ADVENTure 2024

Finally got a chance to participate in a Tankmas Adventure! I've always wanted to join it ever since 2022 but I got rejected if I recall correctly. Well I didn't get my own day of art, I just worked as an additional artist so maybe 2025 I'll get a special day to myself. Honestly I kinda wish my stuff was more popular and invoking that people would add it somewhere but that's reaching too far. None of my characters have reached that mountain peak, probably never. It's fine, it was always like this from the start. As for the art and people working this time, I give my huge respects. After one year without a Tankmas they really came back with a good strong force! Lots of lovely art all around made by very talented and heart warming people. They talk too much none sense for my tastes but whatever, they are wonderful for who they are.

Art:

I don't think any single of my art got to actually stay in the frontpage as it got pushed away by the other ones. Can't blame them anyways. Too much goody artists are making lots of art better than mine so yeah. Here are one of my top favs:

Audio:

I made a shit ton of audio this year! Especially for Egoradise. No frontpages yet unfortunately. Hopefully I'll make one so good people's ears will burst with orgasms from it's sounds. Top favs:

Movies:

I made one animation! Watch it! You'll cream both sides of your pants

Anyways I think that's it. Hopefully I don't turn irrelevant once 2025 rolls around. Oh yeah I forgot to give my thanks to the people I worked with.

Thank you @gooberthed and @emizip for lending your wonderful and lively voices for my game projects. You both did such amazing jobs!

Lots of thanks to you @Romance for letting me work on your silly game jam! I had a blast working together as a team for once and not worrying about my own game 24/7.

Big Big thank you to @Rileyverse for lending your swagalicious music for Egoradise! I'm really glad I was able to work with you and become closer friends this year

Oh and of course lots of love and pizzas to @Peti for having to endure the many many bugs of Egoradise haha!

Finally lots of love to the Tankmas crew for lending me a chance to help on the holiday adventures!

So yeah, stay safe and thanks for reading

Huh, apparently people actually like Egoradise. I do actually have some plans in the future. Right now I'm planning to make a big boy update, it won't contain Ch.2 but it will feature more content like a new Shopkeeper and a Secret Boss.

If there's going to be a major update, it will probably contain new moves Pepper can do with Gary, new items, Chapter II: NEW USA, new enemies, and definitely more story.

I think the main gripes are mostly how Gary can be utilized more and that the game is too hard. I can see how Gary can be forgetful and I'm trying to think of ideas to make him more active (like the partner moves I mentioned earlier). With the game being too difficult there was only one guy who complained about stuff that seemed pretty feasible to do for me. I never intended to add a dodge roll but I decided to implement it from a friendo, Riley's suggestion and just so people won't get too whiny about it. I'll probably just think of other ways to make it less overwhelming or something

Anyways I think that's it, I still have lots of stuff to do with the holidays coming up. Hopefully I can manage

Also character sneak peak:

Inspired by an early 3.5 review! Give thanks to them if you like Kara

That's right folks, the game I spent months in the making is finally released!

To celebrate here are some art:

Ok that's it, like comment and subscribe if you want to see more egoradise doodles

This is a guide to finding the secret game within the game Gimmiko because Steam is being a error-tastic for me.

Note: Finding this secret is pretty easy if you just snoop around and go beyond, so I highly recommend finding it out by yourself as it's very satisfying seeing everything come to place.

Getting started, you can pick any character you like be it Gimmiko, Merci, or Zo. Although to get the secret you need at least 200+ RT. Make sure to stack up your stash.

Next up when the catacombs, go in and prepare yourself for whatever challenges await. Now if you have 200+ RT then you need to spend it all in the lucky cat until you reach the max limit of x10.00. This will be difficult but you need to max it out. You'll know when you see the cat looking constipated.

After you finish beating all the three catacomb levels and reaching the prize area. Collect all the items and feast in your glories.

But by doing so will result in-

Click on the weird cartridge. It will now be in your armed select of dices. You can't add any gimmicks to it. The dice contains the words "Lapis Lazu Land" and you can sell it for a good price, but for all intent and purposes of this guide, kindly don't.

During levels, you can throw the dice as normal, but overtime it can spurt our four fireballs in diagonal or the usual north, south, east, and west directions. It can also spawn in enemies known as "Bad Orbs" and will progressively circle around you faster and faster. So yeah, extra pain in the butt.

A tip to deal with pesky fiends is by using the Gimmick Goobert (The one I'm hovering the mouse one)

So just survive until you finish off the boss gals and finish the run. You'll notice the cartridge is still with you. Pick it up and.. do you see that? It seems like a path of some sort. Enter it.

It leads you deeper into the clearing (and you also turn into Gimmiko, I even tried it with Zo and it gave the same result. Don't know if it's a bug or not). Sitting amongst the trees is a pink TV and console.

Insert the cartridge by throwing it at the TV and will boot up.

A SorryPoniko jingle will play and you'll be greeted with..

You'll now be playing LAPIS LAZU LAND! Take a seat back, grab a milkshake, and play through this new adventure.

I make games and it's probably one of the hardest shit to do consistently. I have a fair share of pretty good games that people enjoy but of course I've made terrible shit that nobody cared for. In retrospect, I should've posted my games when I was more experienced cause I received lots of stupid and idiotic manchild reviews here. That's why I did that tag about Newgrounds reviewers worst nightmare, because there are so much condescending and egotistical bitches here who can't give proper advice without sounding like a jackass

For artwork, animations, and music it's much more easier to digest! You watch, hear, or see it then that's done whoop de woo!! But for games it's much more than that, because you actually have to press more buttons than clicking play. If you don't make a masterpiece that makes everyone cream both sides of their pants then of course you'll receive some reviews that serve no help but to push others down. Imagine working for months and these losers just post a review that took 51 seconds of them sitting on their fat greasy asses glued to their gaming chair. I might as well just add a sexy bunny girl so they can jack off and distract them from reviewing.

In the end, these are just pathetic nobodies! Have you seen their profiles? Not even a color banner change or a different profile picture in sight, other than that stupid tankman default pic. They contribute what to this site? A half-assed stupid review? If they delete their account, nothing of value would be lost. Sure you don't have to participate in everything but at least don't be a fucking dickweed! As for me, I have friends and enjoy making lots art and games, and that's better than being a stupid keyboard warrior.

There's too much negativity going around, and unfortunately I keep on getting hit in the face with it. Don't let those fuckers bring you or other people down and make sure to let them know when to shut the fuck up.

Keep on loving yourself, and don't be a horse shit.

A Madness Combat, it's probably one of my favorite Newgrounds Series of all time. Lots of amazing characters filled with personality and violent bloody action. Also huge shoutout to AngelDrawRus for making the Wall art, what an underrated artist and I'm glad she got some recognition! For this news post I wanted to talk about my two old madness fangames and a new madness game project in the works

Back in 2021, I really got interested in making a Madness Combat fangame. Basically it was a crossover with Madness and Castle Crashers where you beat up enemies and go right. Just a classic action beat 'em up, sounds fun right? It took me less than 2 weeks to create it if I recall it correctly. I had a lot of fun making it without any other care in the world and I was able to finish it and upload it on Newgrounds.

For the aftermath it got 5th daily place, but no frontpage. Nothing that bad, I mean, I was just starting out so yeah. But putting two big series into a game crossover made by a person who is still learning game dev, isn't the best idea in the end. That game greeted me to the world of the lovely Newgrounds reviewers here. The ones with no heart, extremely condescending, pissed on hell, and for what, a stupid fangame I made dearly? I know that it isn't the best game and there are many flaws but holy, not even a little bit of encouragement from the reviews the game received. I even got threatened in PMs. I tried being nice, but man.. I should've just told these assholes to fuck off and shove their reviews up their ass.

In 2022, I made a sequel around a Hot Dog Stand. Mediocre and I didn't care for it enough to still be published.

Right now I'm trying to make another short Madness fangame without any of those castle crashers crossover bullshit. Featuring Newark and Frances. It's pretty simple, kill the agents and grunts. Collect different weapons and guns and all that jazz. Not the most interesting, but I don't care. I might work on it more if people really seem to like it. If not, back to Egoradise it is.

Here's some gameplay footage up on twitter

Anyways that's it. Have a nice Madness Day folks, and remember to love yourself

Well the GMTK Jam 2024 is over and I submitted a game for it called Striving Perfection: Scalable Dreams, featuring Jack Yuri and Mckenzie the Catboy

Based on the original Striving Perfection, it's just a short and stupid Adventure game. I finished the game on the last day near the deadline and it was actually a nice experience doing a game jam again. Too bad it's one of the weakest of my game line ups. At least it got 3rd daily and frontpaged.. for like, 5 days haha

It's very narrative driven and features a lot of my writing which people seemed to very much enjoy. The itch.io comments I got for the game were very nice and genuine! Can't say much for some of the Newgrounds reviews.. Well then again itch.io is more filled with game lovers, devs, and such while here you get a lot of various people.

In the end, it received #1511th place overall with mediocre (a worse fate than being terrible) scores except for style (3.9). I didn't think of a better game concept or execution probably because my mind is constantly getting fried ever since 2023 started. I don't have high hopes to work on the game anymore, I think it's better to just leave it untouched and move on.

Up with another post about Egoradise and all that fucking shit. Felt like making one to take my minds of from shitty asshole newgrounds lurkers who don't do anything but spurt diarrhea from their mouths.

Right now I've added a new boss, a secondary Molotov Cocktail weapon, a new room to go in after completing a level and all that kind of stuff that would be much cooler if it was in video form. Oh and also a vehicle enemy that chases you around.

Right now the things I want to work on is a new shop room for Gary's Upgrades. It'll mostly be like, extra health and damage and new attack moves. It's going to look like a rental store filled with tapes and other stupid things.

Something like this

The shop owner/NPC will be a demon lady named Cedelene Kay.

The other one is adding a new boss which is Adrian. You know those types of twitter artists who draw risque art featuring women and women and get pissy when someone makes fun of them for it? That's basically him in a nutshell. He got a magic brush by Tsukiko which allows him to create his drawings into real life, which fueled his ego even more.

What better to accompany this dickhead than cutey chicks who follow his every command!

Yeah that's it for now, Stay fresh everyone.

Hello people reading this post! I've talked about how I was working on a RPG called "Striving Perfection" but I decided to put the project on hold and make something else. This doesn't mean I'll stop working on it!

So basically my newest game project is "Egoradise." Yeah, legit!- you should see my twitter, I post updates of it time to time. I'll explain the game and the story and show some art!!!

The game is a rougelike ("Another one??" Yeah, because I want to make one again) and I'm trying to make more engaging gameplay than my last two. The biggest problem from those two was how stupidly long and boring the levels took, I want to make levels where you do more than just killing. One idea I have is having to collect scraps in order to finish the level. Pepper is the main protagonist who you control and has basic movement and shooting. Although this time I decided to make the deuteragonist actually help out once again! Gary is Pepper's roommate and close friend, and he helps her out by punching and using other means necessary to kill the enemies. I plan to add a separate shop specifically for Gary so he can get some items alongside Pepper.

But who are Gary and Pepper actually? And why the fuck are they doing this shit in the first place? Well it's another third party entity who decided to change up their lives! TSUKIKO!! The cutie chaotic deity who forced them to do this shit.

Here's a simplified version of how they feel about each other

As for Pepper and Gary.. Pepper and Gary and roommates who are close friends, although both of them has fallen into a sort of depression after a certain event changed their entire lives.

Pepper is an artist who doesn't like her old artworks and occasionally tries to get back into art again.. but always fails. If you compare her to her time in college to now, you can tell there's a big fat difference. She's jobless and just sleeps, eats, and plays games with Gary in their apartment room. Short-tempered and filled with misery, she wants to go back to the past and experience happiness again.

Gary is a programmer and is currently working as waiter in a masked themed cafeteria. His co-workers don't know why he specifically wears his own mask during work when there are many options to choose from. Pepper is the only one who knows why. He's extremely rapturous and tries to exaggerate himself sometimes.. mostly because to make him feel less remorseful.

That's basically it so far! Stay safe guys
