BSBH - New school girl costumes & a e s t h e t i c s
Definitely taking the art in a new direction after rediscovering some Kazuhiro Hori references I had tucked away in my 'art ideas' folder. Thanks to David Song for the bear and lollipop models. And more models are on the way.I think the creepy teddy bear, school girl, pastel vibe mixed with some vaporwave inspi...

BSBH - High Poly tests & updates
Another video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqtZe0-_9HgLast week I was considering a switching Buzz-saw Blood House to a high poly art style. The main reason would be to make the camshow a bit sleazier and have more costume choices.But I thought about it and sticking to the ps1 look is best for now (but possibly doi...

Expect the full version later this month.After this I still want to finish up Santa. I know interest is low since the holidays have passed, but if I store i...
Games recap
Thanks for the feedback guys. I thinks it's clear I definitely need to stick with finishing something. As I've mentioned, that is my biggest weakness by far. So I thought it would be helpful to do a recap of where the upcoming games stand and what needs to be done:Planet of Bloodthirsty Santa - The first two de...
Holiday fatigue
POBT santa work has been going a bit slow (so sick of the holidays). But I've been updated assets to the latest version, and cleaning up the code and project structure, organizing everything.I've also been experimenting with psx style shaders, for a more authentic retro style (the type when the textures warp an...

POBTS 0.1.4 and a new demo coming
A new version of the demo is out, 0.1.4, which will hopefully clear up most of the issues I've become aware of. The most pressing are being able to run up the mountain in 3rd person mode and being able to move mid-air while jumping.I'm working on a short spaceship demo to finish out the month. It should be up t...

Planet Of Blood Thirsty Santa Updates

Santa killer game
I really screwed up with Buzz-saw Blood House this month. It got tied up in development hell. Honestly, it should have taken two weeks at most to wrap everything up and things were going pretty good: the chatroom, the intro, the new menus were all nice additions. But then I went off the rails thinking the game needed n...
BSBH - Character changes and 'documents' system
Hey guys, Happy Thanksgiving if you're in the US!Some updates: Every death gives you a new character to play as. At least changing your name, hair style and color.And a new 'document system' in quotes because they aren't exactly documents. I'm trying to avoid subtitles and dialogue in the game to ke...
BSBH & Night Ripper updates
BSBH is still moving forward but is taking longer than anticipated. UI design is the worse part for me.Anyways based on playtesting it's clear a simple fixed camera platformer isn't exactly what anybody wants. The platforming will still be a major part of the gameplay, but the final version will focus just as m...
Buzz-Saw Blood House Backstory (spoilers)
Took me a while to finish this. Next up is more UI :(My cutscene making method is pretty tedious. I basically assemble everything in a FSM graph. So I'm considering trying out Unity Timeline. Maybe in combination with an FSM for the dialogue. All audio and visuals are there but the timeline pauses for dialogue. Tha...

Buzz-Saw Blood House Intro

Target date is 11/18.Actually have a lot of new ideas after letting it sit for a while. There will be new areas and more of the killer. Also more survival horror elements as opposed to an arcade styl...
