New Game Out!

Posted by BoMToons - May 9th, 2016


My newest game, Deterministic Dungeon, just launched!

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/674476

It's a small-ish "meta" project that uncovers the random number generation mechanics of most rogue-like games. I think it turned out pretty nice! That said, it's definitely more of a "proof of concept" and could use additional features and polish in quite a few areas.

I really think it would shine as a mobile game and I'd like to do an expansion as a more complete game for mobile some day. If I did would you buy it for $0.99?

I have kind of sad news too. I'm no longer working on Barfbarians... my schedule with school and family and earning a living was leaving me with next-to-no time to work on it and the other partners in the venture were getting antsy. I'm sad to leave it and hope they're able to find someone who can do the concept justice.

While I'm pretty bummed about dropping that project, I'm reinvigorated to get back to the BIG COOL game I put on the backburner for Deterministic Dungeon. I take my last final for this college semester tomorrow, then I'll have heaps of time to plow into this other game.

My freelance efforts have also picked up a bit and I've got some additional expansion content art lined up for Good Knight Story.

I had to miss the huge Pico Day festival once again this year. I had finals for school and also my brother-in-law got married and asked me and my wife to bake and decorate the cake. We were so worried we made 2 sample cakes before the wedding day. Here's one of them:

My wife did the baking and I did all the stacking, icing, and decorating... I learned a TON! The final cake looked even better (we changed up the texturing a lot for the final). I'll post a pic of it once the wedding photos are processed.


Overall I'm feeling positive about the future and can't wait to get more games out there for everyone to play!


Does this post make you happy or sad?

This post made me worried. Watch that cake, I'm not sure if I'm looking at it wrong but it looks a little slanted from the stand up. Good luck man.

Ha ha, yeah, doesn't look super stable on that stand...

Loved Deterministic Dungeon. Got the weapon that had the 20 and eight 0's, three mayan relics, and laughed while the game stopped holding any amount of resistance.

Yeah, that combo pretty much destroys the challenge... everyone has to do it at least once though...

That is, of course, on Armor Games. I plan on doing it again here.

Get dem medals!

cool, glad you made a new game. will defiantly play it

Imagining you playing in a defiant manner...

That cake looks AWESOME!!

Thanks, it tasted great too!

Sad, because is always a bad thing when a game is no longer under development, even if I never heard of "Barfbarians" before.

Yeah... I hope it becomes a big thing some day!

I know that feeling of dev partners getting antsy at your lack of time... Good luck with your next project and with FINALS!

Thanks, finals are now done and I think I NAILED 'em!

I would buy anything you make for $0.99

So, you're the one!

DD was super cute. Charging up-front for mobile games (even .99) is risky though, in an already risky marketplace.

True, I'm not confident in a prepay strategy either.
