A donut-shooting robot bee boss I created for #GlazingLazers, a little top-down shooter game about pastries I created for the #LetsCookJam last year and have been working on slowly ever since.
The bee puts up honey shields what you must destroy before you can attack it. I have only created the artwork, I still need to add it into the game.
Try the jam version of the game here: http://jams.gamejolt.io/letscookjam/games/glazing-lazers/64688
Not just any new version, but the first public release of the new Splat which we are calling Splat ECS. ECS stands for Entity Component System , a design the new Splat is based on. The new version is a completely different way of making games so there is a new Github repo, new name, and I designed a new logo for it as well.

Scurry is an HTML5 browser game where you play as a beetle who is running through a grocery store. Run as fast as you can, pull off daring jumps, avoid shoppers, roach motels and other treacherous obstacles! How far will you make it?
The project is a two-person team effort; Eric Lathrop is doing the code, and I am working the artwork.
We just met up at a coffee shop for our first session and got a lot done, I am very happy with how it is turning out so far.
Here is a shot of the game with some shelf art and grocery store props added:
As of now, Eric has about 12 hours in of Dev time, and I have spent around 6 hours doing the artwork
I have some videos below that show the progress taking Eric’s engine and adding in the art assets I have been creating. Eric is working on generating infinite levels using repeating and randomized artwork, resulting in a new experience for the player each time.
The main focus of this night was getting collisions and jumping working, and we got somewhere. I would by no means call it perfect, but we have a goo starting point for collisions and jumping. and also some weird errors..
Overall a good night and I can see the momentum building now, so we can get going on level design once the engine is basically figured out.

So-far so Good, I have now figured out how to have the player ‘eat’ the caffeine pills and boost the awake meter by 25pts and have the pill object disappear
– Fun stuff, most of the game mechanics are done, as this is a simple game.
I Shot a quick video of a somewhat unrefined version of the first level:
After I recorded the video, I spent some time fixing bugs with the terrain, and sealing off some of the weird visual gaps on the outside borders.
Here are some screenshots from before I went to bed:

Just a screenshot update
… I have been reading up on the Indie Games industry, and It seems that the only way to get by making browser-besed games is ads.
I hate ads!
So I looked into making games that would work on Mac or Windows, and found Unity. Unity is a 3d engine, but there are a few good resources I have foudn that will allow me to create a 2d game using Unity.
I am following a video tutorial now and leanring a lot, it seems like Unity has a lot of flexibility and the Unityscript/Javacript language looks fammiliar to me so that’s a big plus.
I am working on rebuilding the engine for squid game, and trying to get it to look as flat as possible to create a 2d look. I really like the cameras and other things you can use in Unity, really cool stuff!
Heres a snapshot:
