a game about a film about a tree

Posted by dylan - March 29th, 2014


edit: now that it's off the front page, until I have a chance to fix all the bugs and rework some features in Pine, I’m removing it from the portal. It’s just not up to snuff yet. It should be back some time next week!


hey guys n gals,

I made a second game for stencyl jam loosely based on a short film I made last winter.

the game
the short film
the jam
my previous jam game

I don't know if this one will be elligible for prizes, seeing as how it rolled out a good 6 hours past the official deadline, but it was a fun project to work on none the less. In it's current state, it still needs a lot of work. I plan to update the tiles in most rooms, add a map, maybe add some medals, and maybe add a bit more direction for the player.

As far as future projects go, I've got two right now. There's my thesis film, which I need to finish a proof of concept animation for later this week, and that side project I mentioned at the begining of the year. I've still got like 20 voice actors' lines in a folder on my desktop just waiting to be edited together. I'll probably have to wait until after my thesis film is complete to start working on that one though. Maybe it'll make a good NATA piece if I  can hold off working on it until may.

later,

p.s. my last game, ALZ, got written about on The Verge, cool stuff!

Oh shit, awesome! Tell them how you paid me to NOT be in the game because I was so bad in the short that it was super important that I didn't ruin the game too.

With how simple the short was, I was expecting the game to be more like ALZ, but I started into it and I was like whooaaaa this is a lot of things.

SirUndead is a real class-act. if you give him 50 bucks, he'll give you a personal guarantee that he won't be in your short!

Haha yeah it was too many things, so many that I'm actually taking it down until I get it all sorted out!

Really enjoyed the game. I hope you make more animations in the style of pine. + that's great news that your game has an article written about! High five

Glad you liked it Howster! My thesis definitely has a lot of visual and thematic similarities to pine, so you're in luck

And yeah the article was super helpful, ALZ actually got enough coverage to where it looks like I might be able to get steady freelance work through the summer, gotta make that ka-ching-ka-ching

I REALLY LOVE YOUR GAME ALZ AND THANKS FOR THE BLOG REPLY
