Shameless Plug: My Game “Hypno-Joe” Part 2

November 18th, 2009

Okay so I was thinking that every free day I would do one old post dealing with my game Hypno-Joe. Only when I went to read the next 3 posts (after that first one I showed on Monday I believe) and it had nothing but “Okay I did this” Basically I had intended to use the “Scrolling Game Development Kit”. In any case I felt that each of the three posts singly didn’t really have any information to impart. So I decided to go ahead and post all 3. You may just decide to go ahead and skip these.

But just in case maybe it will help you understand my mindset. Then again you could consider this just filler.

Dawn’s Light – I’m actually playing an RPG, Japanese style no-less!

November 17th, 2009

Yes you read that correctly. I (Keith Weatherby II) am actually playing a Role Playing Game which I said I would never play ever.  Okay that’s not true, I said I never get into RPGs because of their pointless side quests and anime characters.  I’ve said this once and I’ll say it again, I hate anime/manga.  However the graphics in here are on point as we would say in the US or “spot on” as the English would say.  Before I get more in depth I gotta say I really dig this game.  The name of the game is Dawn’s Light by John Wizard games.  (The website has a nice easy to read layout with nice colors, but this isn’t a review about websites).  It started out with an easy tutorial.  The controls are simple.  And it does basic hand-holding in the beginning.  I don’t know if it changes later on because my Trial expired.  I feel that I got enough of an idea of the game with the trial, which makes me think you should try it then buy it.  Here’s a video of the game in action:

Shameless Plug: My Game “Hypno-Joe”

November 16th, 2009

I want to start promoting my game. It’s not done yet but I want to get some buzz before it is finally. I also want to give more stuff for you guys to read on the days I don’t have reviews or previews. So I decided to start linking articles from my regular blog about the progress of my game to Indie Flux. A Quick Disclaimer: These progress posts are shameless promotions of my game, however it will not interfere with my existing previews or reviews, and I will still try to keep my reviews objective. Also you won’t see me review my own game on here, since if I did that nobody would take me seriously anymore.

So basically here’s a link to my old dev blog to tell you a little bit about Hypno-Joe. The story as provided in this link may not be the story that ends up in the game because I’m going to try to create the game a little less rigidity. This was posted in December of ’05 and in fact I came up with the idea a couple of years earlier than that. So you could say this thing has been in development at least 5 or 6 years, although that’s not strictly true because I’ve been working on other things over that time as well. Serious work didn’t begin until around June or so of this year.
