SUDDENLY, AN UPDATE!

My apologies for letting this site go un-updated for the last two months. To say I've been busy is an understatement. I was finally guilted into doing a quick update on my lunch break by Barn Runner fan Megazord Steve when he sent me the following image yesterday:

"Me Waiting For Fresh News About Barn Runner" by Megazord Steve

Gosh! Talk about a guilt trip! How could I callously ignore that little stick guy for so long?! I'm a terrible person!

Anyhoo, I've got a bit of news for you. First up, let me announce that the surprisingly popular 2034 A.C. (After Canada) will be getting a sequel. As I was making the game, I was kicking around the idea of revisiting the world of Canadian Mountie Paige Rowsdower (her name was inspired by this movie, by the way). And the response from both you guys and the gaming world at large has been very positive. My little game appeared on several gaming sites, a few blogs, and even a handful of review sites. It certainly made a much larger splash that I ever thought it would.

So, as any freeware gaming mogul should, I'm making a sequel. The game, creatively titled "2034 A.C. (After Canada) II" will be out in December of this year, as part of a fundraising "pay what you like" bundle to raise money to pay for server and hosting fees of the AGS Community -- AGS being the engine I use to make most of my games. Here's a couple of  teaser shots:

After the collapse of Canadian civilization, Paige dons leather chaps and hits the road.
(And for the record, I've always found the people of Labrador & Newfoundland to be very nice. It's all in good humor, eh?)

The "World Map" showing Canada's highway.
(The final version has little cities and other locations of interest for you to select.)

in other news, Barn Runner 5: The Forever Friday - Chapter 4 has also exceeded the number of downloads I was expecting. Even though it's a top-down scrolling shooter, you adventure game fans have shown your love for the Barn Runner series by collecting the entire series. Thanks for your loyalty. It makes the months and months of my life I sunk into the game feel well spent. (Seriously, I half-expected it to land with a thud of indifference. Thanks for proving me wrong).

To reward your devotion to my series (especially those of you who told me it was WAY too hard), here's the global cheat code for the game:

1) Launch a new game

2) On the "Rated T" screen, press the "-" key on your number pad (make sure "NumLock" is on).

3) On the "TWI Logo" screen, press the "+" key on your number pad.

4) You will now be taken to the DevTools screen used for beta testing (Ooh! Behind the scenes access!)

5) Press "Space" to activate the global cheat mode. (Press enter to begin the game without cheats enabled).

With cheats enabled, you have the following abilities unlocked.

* BACKSPACE: Skip the current level.

* ENTER: Add 30 points of health and fuel (Don't go nuts with this or you may crash the game).

* PAGE UP: In game save.

* PAGE DOWN: In game load (Must have an in game save first or the game may lock up).

NOTE: These codes were just used by the beta testers and never meant for "general use." They haven't been rigorously tested and might crash your game (especially the 'add health and fuel' button. Roll that counter over too many times and you can crash the game). Also note that cheating changes the game's ending. If you want to to see the best endings, you still have to beat it on "hard" without cheating.

Lastly, I released another Oceanspirit Dennis game, which you can find below. If you're a fan of OSD, some other recent games are The Search For Oceanspirit Dennis by One Dollar, OSD Moby GearWhale DX by Kconan, and Holiday Havoc by Grundislav.

So that's it for this month. Hopefully, I can get a fresh update in place for July and show off some screenshots from both 2034 A.C. II and the next Barn Runner game. And, as is tradition, I'll be posting "America, Fuck Yeah!" on Independence Day. (I never get tired of it).

See you guys next month.
