New games in the works

First thing's first:  I've gone ahead and canceled any plans on bothering with a port for OCH.  Truthfully, I haven't even really started on it, other than just learning the ropes for Unity and making a couple of other small, unrelated Android 'test' games.  I'm about done with OCH, I think, and would rather just move on to other things.

Speaking of, there are a couple of old games I've wanted to make for a while and I figured I might as well dust 'em off and get to work on them.

Project A is going to be a simple pseudo-VN developed with Renpy.  What can I say, it seems like a decent engine for this genre.  I'm not going to bother with details on the backstory, plot, etc. just yet, since basically none of the actual game has been developed and I don't want to overpromise on anything.

Project B is a text game, something that I haven't spent as much time developing backstory for as Project A but will probably be finished long before, since the bulk of my time on OCH (like, 85%) was spent just modeling and rendering shit, which I can only imagine will also be the case for any game with graphics that I'm forced to design.  Since this is a one-man show, sadly, Project A will also run into that bottleneck.  There is a small chance I'll use an engine that supports graphics of some type, but if I do, they'll be static images only (no animations for Project B).  Probably won't, though.

Anyway, these games are going to be developed more or less simultaneously, so I'll have occasional updates going forward for both of them.

WIP 3: Finished and named (Orval Creep n' Hammer)

It took a while, but the game's finally finished. I present to you:   Orval Creep n' Hammer . Alright, so I'm not great with names.  Believe it or not this is the best iteration that myself and three other people could come up with. Features: Stars four women Multiple animated sex scenes Wood paneling There are currently a couple of known issues, both particular to the GNU/Linux version.  Basically, typos that I forgot to correct before uploading the files.  Oops.  😢 It's a simple enough game, give it a download and try it out (approx. 700mb). Links: Game manual (PDF) Win32 mega.nz Google Drive GNU/Linux x86_64 mega.nz Google Drive Screenshots Spycam watching Alyson bathe Laptop's store page Madeline doing you a favor l33t She doesn't remember you!?  The insolence.

OCH update, etc.

I've updated Orval Creep n' Hammer to version 0.95. What's new? Better map icons Cheats (well, just one for now, actually) Tweaked minigame grind Added a way to actually beat the game (lol) Download links (mega.nz): Windows 32-bit Linux 64-bit Check the README or the manual for info on the cheats. I've also been poking at FGAME's script, getting it written piece by piece, though there hasn't been much of note going on otherwise.

OCH - Future plans

While I'm mostly done with Orval Creep n' Hammer, there are a few things I wanted to do with it before entirely moving on to other things.  I've got a short list of things that need to be tweaked, but the big issues are technical in nature. First, I'd like to change the way videos are played.  While the current system works , it's not ideal and given the quality of the videos, the file sizes are just too big.  For what it is, the game just weighs too much, you know? Secondly, the Android port.  While I have technically ported an SDL2 project to Android, it was a bit of a process and the project itself was very, very small in scope.  It was basically just C++ with bits of the SDL2 "standard library".  This game, while not tremendously complex, is quite a bit larger in scope than that earlier "test project," so I'm not sure how all of this would play out in an attempt to port to Android. So what are my options? Option A is to simply do ...
