Time flies a lot!! I remember uploading my first ever works to this site way back in June last year!

I think I'll just recap my games, art, and other stuff I did throughout 2022

2022 Games:

Ring Ring Bang 2:

First game of 2022 and made for pixel day 2022! I was trying to make a pixel day game during January and tried to make a 2D collect-a-thon platformer where you collect NG mascot dolls, but the gameplay was SO fucking boring!! I decided to make a sequel, more so a remake, to my first game published in this site: Ring Ring Bang! It was fun to work on and it was great revisiting my older games. It's also one where I was more ambitious with the touchscreen controls. A lot more people played it than I thought it would! The only downside to this game is that I realized people will get really pissy if something doesn't work properly, and yeah I would get pissed too. Focusing on the window and optimization were the main problems and I hope I'll be able to fix those issues in future games

=KRUDSHOT CAFE=:

My highest rated game and also the one where I spent the most time working on! I'm still proud of this game and it's also where I started working with Demi and Peti. TONS of people liked it, which I'm extremely happy about!! One funny thing I can share is that I accidentally published it too early on March and I had to quickly unpublish it. That's why you can see the upload date is Mar 29 and not in April! I think I could've gotten daily 1st too but oh well haha. I might make a remake to this game sometime in the future cause I want to expand on the gameplay, setting, and story!

PICO PIZZA FRENZY:

A beat em' up made for Pico Day!! I was late for it but what matters is that I was able to contribute something! I got the idea for this game from my Tankman Pizza drawing and thought "Pizza Beat em' up". Demi was a bit late with the music due to him fishing so I had to get a midi file of the Spider-man 2: The Game pizza theme and used it for the entire game.

This was second daily 1st game and one where I first tried a new NG API which I still use today. Nothing much to say other than this game made me learn about autoload signals which was neat!

VIZZY & THE LOST CAT:

Probably my favorite game I made in 2022!! Made for the MGJ hosted by Stepford! I had to join the jam cause I've made touchscreen controls on my games before and also because mobile users want to have some gaming action too right? I had a bit hard time trying to find a theme with "Lots of", and ultimately I said fuck it and just went with "Lots of Money." This is the first game I worked with Marvazoid and they did such a fantastic job on the thumbnail and BG! Two main inspirations for this were Gravity Shift and Micro Mages. This game has the most medals out of all of my games here. In the end this game won 4th place for the MGJ, Yippee!!! I held a twitter tournament where people decide who is my best game protagonist and Vizzy won! She also got the most fanarts haha. TRANS RIGHTS BTW!

COCA & THEIR SHOTGUN:

This game is the culmination of my brain giving out the shittiest ideas. I wanted to try adding a jumping mechanic to my game and I think I did an okay job. This game uses a lot of images taken from the internet like: Saul Goodman, Tom Fulp, and Lucky Star ft. Jerma. Most of these get pixelized with the use of a website called Pix-Brix

Like the description said, it's a short silly bullet hell game, and I'm happy with that.

Pumpkin Wing:

This game is made by Frosty, so I can't really say much other than I made a medal icon for it (The one you get when you die).

MINIMUM MAGE EFFORT:

It's spooky time, that means cafe time! My wackiest game of mine and the one with more character interaction! I really wanted to give this game a "feel good" feeling, but the frantic and chaotic gameplay really outweighed that haha! I was a bit late to this one but it still got in Halloween 2022. The Gacha mechanic was a fun thing to work on and I enjoyed drawing all the collectable dolls. I got to work with other musicians this time around due to Demi leaving NG. I gotta give a shoutout to Gavmcool and JOnline for composing some songs for the game, they did a wonderful job! I played a lot of management games before and I'm very happy to actually make one! This game got 4th place in Halloween Spooktacular 2022 games and also 3rd best game of the month, woohoo!! Some more facts about the game: Aka is designed after Koishi Komeiji. That's one of the main reasons why the game is called Minimum Mage Effort..... and also because the "W" in Wage flipped is "M" haha. Ultimately, I should've just called it Minimum Maid Effort cause Aka sports a maid uniform and she's the one who serves customers.

COCA & THEIR SHOTGUN II:

You kill FNF Fans.. What more could you want!! Made for the 3-Star Jam. Unfortunately I put too much effort into the game and it got a 3.5 Star rating. Oops!

I'm currently working on another sequel to Coca & Their Shotgun for Peter the Ant Day 2022 so make sure to look out for that! It's probably the last game I'll make before 2023 rolls around so yeah

Other projects I've left on hold are:

• Strained Out Fiesta (Mario & Luigi Inspired RPG)
• Riley's Rampage (Boomer Shooter Inspired FPS)

Dunno if I'll be able to finish those two but who knows!

ART:

Nothing much to say other than I think I improved a lot for some time! Here are some of my favorite pieces I did this year:

Music:

Still decent at composing!!

Animation:

I just got to participate on one of the most influential jams on Newgrounds dot com!

I think that's all.. See you assholes in 2023! Stay fresh!
