BARN RUNNER 5: UPDATE!
I took third place in the Screen 7 Game of the Year thingie! You like me! You really, really (sort of) like me! No doubt, this marks my
first step on the path to Thanks to all who voted
for my game.
Lots to do this month, as I get the next chapter of The Forever Friday ready to upload, so I'll be brief. First things first. Dying to know how I did on that GAME OF THE YEAR thing? Well, so am I. Voting started late for some reason. Then the voting deadline was extended (twice!). Now it's all supposed to be over and done with but everything is mysteriously still up in the air. Oh, well. Thanks to all of you who voted (and thanks especially if you voted for my game). Maybe one day the results will be announced. Maybe one day I'll also get the jetpack I always wanted too. In other news... Updated the FAQ page, the Links page, and the information concerning the Adult Mode patch for the Forever Friday. Also, for some utterly inexplicable reason, several of you (and by several, I mean too damn many), want to know what the hell I look like. Apparently, that cartoon I drew of myself for the "About Me" page (link in the sidebar over there to your left) wasn't good enough for some of you. Hell, I thought it summed me up better than any photo ever could. Double hell, I only put that "About Me" page up there in the first place because some of you wanted to know more about me. I hate having my picture taken. But if it will put a stop to the request, then I'll post a picture of me. Now stop cyber stalking me, people! ;-) In the meantime, the other question I'm getting asked a lot is "Will Part Two of the Forever Friday ship on time?" Maybe? I hope so? Probably? I'm hard at work on the closing cut scene for the game right now. I scrapped the one I completed months ago when I went to bed on a stomach full of beer and bratwurst and had the strangest dream I've had in years. I'm working hard on bringing the alcohol-fueled psychedelic sexiness of that vision to the world of Barn Runner. Will I make it in time for the deadline? I don't know. I haven't done a cut scene this complicated for Barn Runner before. Hell, I haven't done this much hand-drawn animation in years! I've recruited the help of several of my friends (and a video camera) to model for me. Using that footage for reference will speed up the process (I hope!), but I'm not sure if I'll make it in under the wire. To be honest though, it doesn't bother me one bit if this delays the release of the game for a couple of weeks. Trust me, those two minutes and nineteen seconds of trippy animation will be the scene that everyone will remember from The Forever Friday part two! Anyhoo, got to get back to my light table and pens, and watch the footage of Melody and Kim dancing the "caramel dance" for the umpteenth time. See you in October (hopefully) with chapter two of The Forever Friday!
