General Gaming / The Bounty: Deluxe Edition coming to Wii U, PC, & more (crowdfund ends 11/20!)

« on: November 18, 2015, 12:50:33 PM »

(Actually posted this elsewhere previously, probably not in the best spot, sorry!)


What's up folks?
           I'm working on an arcade RPG (high score based, extremely streamlined) called The Bounty:Deluxe Edition. You play much like a JRPG (Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, etc.), but with the urgency of an action game. You go through different zones fighting monsters, solving puzzles, evading traps, and finding secrets and loot- just to beat the game and get a high score.




Development is going beautifully, and I'm aiming for a Q1 2016 release!




Anyway, to keep this brief, it's funding on GoFundMe now through 11/20/15- you can check out an early beta demo on PC there, find a ton more information, and back it if you're interested at www.gofundme.com/thebountydeluxe.






The perks include:
Listing in the Credits
Digital Wii U™ and PC versions
Become a character in the game
Boxed Physical Copy (PC only) (limited run of 50, 21 remaining at time of writing!)




Every official reward level also includes a Steam Key for my upcoming retro arcade game, Bug Attack!.


If anybody has any questions or wants to chat about the game or whatever, I'll be around!

General Gaming / Super Epic Marathon for Charity this weekend

« on: May 12, 2015, 11:56:36 AM »

I figured y'all might be interested in this. Team Mayh3m Militia, which I'm a part of, is doing a gigantic marathon for Operation Supply Drop.
I'll keep this brief, but there is plenty more info on Operation Supply Drop (in case you aren't familiar), plus scheduling and event details via the links below. Our team collectively holds over 500 world records, and are breaking out all the stops in support of US and NATO troops.

My personal high point of this will be an attempt to break my previous glitchless Doom speedruns. However, to make it more sadistic and entertaining, I'll be taking down tablespoons of ghost pepper sauce at the beginning of each of the three episodes. No breaks, no water, nothing until the run is completed. That one is going down on Sunday, May 17th at 9PM CST. It's gonna be ridiculously painful, but it should make for a good show, eh?



Scheduling Details at http://www.ludicrousones.com/operation-supply-drop.html

« on: November 14, 2014, 09:39:54 AM »

It's time for a mega Smash Bros. marathon record for Extra-Life again!
I did 50 hours last year, and am shooting for 75 this year.


If you're in St. Louis, feel free to come by and play!
We should be kicking off at noon on day one (11/21), PM for address.


If not, The entire event will be streamed live at www.vgevo.com, so you can join in,
even if you aren't in town- I'll be testing the setup throughout the week, so online play
might be a thing too.

Regardless, my NNID is Ludicrousda3ve.


The Extra-Life page is http://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.participant&participantID=94331.

General Gaming / Please help my game- The Bounty is on Steam Greenlight!

« on: July 28, 2014, 05:43:31 PM »

Yep. So I have to be slightly annoying. Advertising budgets must be nice.
 Anyhow, I'm sure everybody here knows how Greenlight works; by garnering enough upvotes, the game will finally be made available on Steam- which is a huge deal. I need your help.


Take a minute, and if you dig it, vote. Share with the world. Tell your friends. Tell your family. Hell, tell your enemies.


Let's show the world that a good game can succeed, even without big money behind it.


Not familiar with The Bounty? The Greenlight page has the trailer, screens, and all the info and links you could want. Thanks, and wish me luck!

General Gaming / Up for an uber retro style challenge on PC?

« on: July 03, 2014, 09:15:20 AM »

Reaching out for support here- I've just released my arcade high score/JRPG/roguelike The Bounty. The game has been a massive labor of love, and it's turned out pretty great. It's only on PC (well, you can play it on Mac with WineBottler or something similar).


So, one player described it as "This is like Roguelike Dragon Quest with all the sadistic insanity of Lufia 2's dreaded Ancient Cave area!" He pretty much hit the nail on the head. It's retro, and console styled... but a really unique amalgamation of ideologies and styles.
[/size][/color]
[/size]So, give it a shot! There's a free shareware (not demo, shareware damnit) version to get you primed- and the full version is only $5, and 5% goes to Extra-Life in benefit of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.

You can find info on the game on IndieDB here-[/color][/size]http://www.indiedb.com/games/the-bounty[/color]
You can get the game from itch.io and www.gwwentertainment.com/thebounty.
It's coming to Desura, Indiecity, and Steam soon as well.

Fan Trailer- http://youtu.be/6A5zUV1Wh6Y


Thanks everybody; the next game is being built in Unity, so a Wii U port is definitely happening!

General Gaming / Extra Life 2013- Over 50 hours of Smash in St. Louis!

« on: October 29, 2013, 01:33:12 PM »

What's up everyone?
          I wanted to extend an invitation to check out my attempt to break the "longest time spent playing a fighting game" record. I'm doing it with Brawl, and reason behind this insanity is to raise money for Children's Hospitals, through Extra-Life. I'm starting it at 5PM central on Friday, Nov. 1st; and will continue until I exceed the record of fifty hours or collapse trying.
      We'll have competitors rotating in and out of the game, so it should be a pretty fun watch as well. It's all going down at [size=78%]http://www.gwwentertainment.com/extra-life[/size].


This is all happening at my place in St. Louis, MO. If anybody wants to come out, hang, play, and help keep me from dying, just get with me for an address. Note- This event is kid friendly.


NWR Mods- If you want to embed the stream on this site, you're more than welcome to. Just please let me know.


Thanks everyone!
