Meowxtape: Delivery


I recently released a game that I made for Ludum Dare 53 on Newgrounds! The theme was "delivery" so we went for a game about rap (get it, rap delivery???). You also text and drive in this game, if you're into that sort of thing. Peep Meowxtape: Delivery, the artists and musicians worked pretty hard for this one, so I wanted to draw some more attention to it. If you're into bullet hell type games, give it a shot! The soundtrack is a banger too, a bunch of cat themed raps in this one.

Commission Hell


I also wanted to thank Newgrounds for the great reception to Commission Hell! We recently placed in the Newgrounds Best of the Month, which was really cool to see (I can finally call myself a professional, which is a neat bonus). Although it wasn't my proudest game (I programmed the game over 2 days for Ludum Dare, there were a lot of bugs and things rushed in development, trying to make a drawing program and making it multiplayer in 48 hours was a tad bit overambitious haha), we had a lot of fun making it, and that's what really counts! Check out @popper and @ollygons, the artists for the game as well, they were really fun to work with! A big shoutout to the players too for making such amazing drawings, I loved 99% of them (The other 1% knows who they are...). It's crazy how creative you guys get with such a limited toolset, I might make a post of my favorites soon.

Also an update for the game is in the works! An expansion to the story mode with more levels and bugfixes are being worked on. I've been very busy coming out of college and doing job stuff, hopefully my life shenanigans get taken care of soon so I can keep making silly games. Don't expect it soon, but it will come out eventually.


Also shoutouts to @Anonymous-Frog for drawing Loss in my other drawing game, Times Newer Roman.

Future Games and Updates


I'm working on updating my older stuff too! STATION.60 and Comatoast Unjammed are getting some overhauls, just been busy with the aforementioned life stuff. It's been a bit painful going back to my old code, especially considering that most of the games I've worked on were made during game jams, so fixing rushed broken code has been the norm unfortunately. Expect those early next year?


Speaking of game jams, it's been a while since I've made a non-jam game. Though it leads to a lot of games being finished and it gives me and my friends an excuse to work on something, it leads to a bunch of broken and unpolished stuff! Commission Hell and Switch.tv, while well received here, aren't really the type of stuff I'm proud of. Short unpolished concepts are fun once in a while, but not when they're the only things you're making! Part of this was because of lack of time from college to work on any long projects, but mostly a lack of commitment on my end to tackle something big. Hopefully after graduating this will change. It's been a while since I've done a game that wasn't for a competition, like we have to go back 11 games ago to Times Newer Roman, but that's not really a game and was kinda pivoted to compete in Mobile Jam 22...


So in the future, expect something big where I spent more than 3 days on! Also expect me to move away from Unity. Hopefully with Meowxtape released and out of my backlog, I can do some experimenting with Godot and Pico-8.


Anyways, thanks for reading my long spiel! I've been creating games on here for around 2 years and I loved every second of it. Never had so many people enjoy the things I do, it makes creating games so much more fun. Being surrounded by so many talented people and working with some of them has been a blast. The community here is truly something else, long live Newgrounds!

A while back I made Times Newer Roman on Newgrounds. Basically, everyone helps create a crowdsourced font, voting and drawing letters of the alphabet.


It was made for the Newgrounds Mobile Jam 2022, but it was also made for my senior final research project about social media for university. It would be a great help if you filled this survey (It takes like 2 minutes) so I can graduate college :)))

This took 5 days of collaborative work with 50+ different people


For Pixel Day 2023, I made a game where every Newgrounds user can place a pixel every 90 seconds. Hopefully through the power of collaboration, we can create the greatest pixel movie of all time. Anyone can contribute, all you have to do is place at least one pixel! Inspired by Reddit's r/Place, but this game has a time component to it.


I don't usually care about views, ratings, and front-paging, but since this is a collaborative multiplayer project, I'm trying to share it as much as possible!


Doubt any mods will front-page my project since it's not your traditional game, so here it is in my front-page news post!

Harvest season has just ended! While you won’t be gathering wheat, you’ll surely be raking in dough at your cushy tax auditing desk job!


A couple silly fellas and I made a tax auditing game for the Ludum Dare 52 game jam. Everyone was gonna do a "crop" game, and slightly more creative people were gonna do a "soul" or "organ" harvesting game, so we went for "income" harvesting lmao. Hope you guys enjoy our silly project!

(Mood is crying since these games are so scary..... peeing and crying rn)


For the Newgrounds Halloween Spooktacular, I made two very spooky games (you will be shitting bricks). Been quite busy with school, so apologies if there are any bugs or mistakes! Didn't have much time to polish them :(.


Speaking of school, I'm doing my final senior university research paper on my other game, Times Newer Roman, studying the effects of social media design decisions on user made content. It's essentially a crowdsourced font where everyone draws and votes on letters, pretty cool stuff.

Anyways, here are my two Halloween games! You can play them here:


scary bathroom adventure

iu_791774_5864427.webp

A full motion video choose your own adventure! It's inspired by those old arcade games like Dragon's Lair where it's just a bunch of videos stitched together with gameplay in between them. In "scary bathroom adventure", you need to pee but the only bathroom in a five mile radius is an abandoned haunted college dorm! Traversing these haunted halls is no easy task and most people will pee themselves in real life (how immersive!). The ending will shock you....


Comatoast: Unjammed

iu_791775_5864427.webp

A rogue-like randomly generated platformer! You know how you smell burnt toast when you have a stroke? The stroke causes you to fall into a coma, imagining pieces of bread that traverse your inner subconscious. The deeper you go the scarier it gets, ranging from ghost clowns to failed tests to ungodly abominations at the bottom layer. Play as 5+ different characters and visit 4+ spooky areas.


While zombies and skeletons are pretty spooky, this game actually represents my biggest fear: brain death and slowly going insane... It's freaky stuff, where something is truly wrong in your brain but you can't do anything about it. You're slowly losing it, and unlike a monster, you can't run or hide from it...
