This evening, I drew stuff.
Behold, some new art for the Main Menu:

Features features features.
This little zombie pong game is coming along nicely. Yet despite being a rather simple game, there’s still tons of work to do on menus and non-gameplay related stuff. Also, all kinds of crazy ideas like an unlockables system for earning new paddles and powerups, more zombie AI behaviors, zombie bosses, a million different powerups, and the list goes on.
Brews for the Game Today
Football-shmootball. But that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy hanging out with good friends and having some tasty beer and food
- Shipyard Brewing Co. – Applehead
- Cambridge Brewing Co. – Bannatyne’s Scotch Ale
- Wachusett Brewing Co. – Larry Imperial IPA
- Last bottle of homebrew – American Cream Ale
Guess it’s time to start making more homebrew soon. Got any suggestions for a late-winter/early-spring style of beer? (Since it’d probably be ready to drink around the middle of March).
Bootstrap, from Twitter
“Simple and flexible HTML, CSS, and Javascript for popular user interface components and interactions.” Looks neat, might have to try it out.
“Old Bilbo called them Goblins.”
Started working on a drawing based on the goblins from the animated 1977 animated movie The Hobbit.

Updated, Feb. 3rd: Updated line work around the edges of the face. Drool.
Functioning Menus
My zombie game now has a functioning menu system. Granted the code for it is a huge mess and really, REALLY needs to be refactored… for now, it works, and has some button art:

Right now it just uses the keyboard Up/Down arrows to cycle through the options. I’ll probably also add mouse and controller support for it.
Zombies, now with 100% more swagger
Finally got around to recording a short video of my zombie pong game!
Zombie Pong – Jan 21 Update

After a month or so, finally started working on my zombie pong game again with the goal to GET IT DONE. Ain’t a whole lot of new stuff to look at, except powerup crates and better blood FX. Older screenshot here.
