Just finished a grandiose 6-minute collab with Hoongtube today! (ongoing since last year) It's a very experimental track that fuses different genres ranging from Japanese folk music to DnB. #OriginalMusicSky #drumnbass #japanesefolk #beepbox pastelink.net/nniieb3u soundcloud.com/mellonska/mi...

Mind-Forg'd Manacles (Collab with Hoongtube)

After many painstaking months, we made it. A nice 6-minute soup of traditional Japanese folk, DnB, trip-hop and pop techno. Both of us did bits of everything but Hoong made everything flow nicely : )

Excuses. An older comic.

A four-panel comic. In panel 1, there's an excerpt from an email that says "Re: New Tasks. Thanks for your email. Please be advised that I may take longer to answer emails because I'm swamped." And there's a person sitting happily on a rock, deep in a red maple swamp, with a frog and ferns and such. Another email excerpt says "I'm just really bogged down." The person is sitting on a bog boardwalk, surrounded by bog and fen fauna like an arethusa orchid, a pitcher plant, larch and spruce, and a canada jay. The email says "I'm not out of the woods yet." The person is happily wandering through the forest, looking at lichens and mushrooms. The email says "Sorry, it's crunch time." The person is kneeling in a forest, watching a red squirrel crunch away at a pine cone.

I could help... maybe. What kind of assets/sprites do you need exactly?

If game dev is a marathon, why are we always sprinting?

King Henchman @kinghenchman.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

Btw you could also make a demo that's free and then make a full version that's paid but it'll have to be quite big to justify it though.

King Henchman @kinghenchman.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

It depends on the quality and length of the game, but if it's your first then I'd recommend making it free. Putting a price tag will make it harder to sell to an audience who's never heard of you. Also, it'll make cheapskates like me happy :)

lol "most mentally stable" I'm curious to see what the other characters are like. the art style is fairly unique :)

King Henchman @kinghenchman.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

Oh I see. In that case, good luck! Creating effects like that requires some careful work.

King Henchman @kinghenchman.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

I agree. I respect what you tried Scotty, but it looks a bit jarring. I don't know what software you're using but I'd recommend making the waterfall sprite move down for X seconds before teleporting it back to its original position. If done right, this will give a seamless illusion of motion.

This is Gemma. She is the real-life version of this emoji: 😬 12/10

a reddish brown vizsla sits on a woodgrain kitchen floor and looks up at the camera with very wide gold eyes. her upper lip is curled up and in on itself, revealing a little row of half a dozen teeth. her large triangular ears frame her expression perfectly.

I'm done for today and I'm surprised that I was able to make this, even tho I still gotta work on the whole spinosaurus and finish the background. This is the first time in months...or years that I actually feel good about myself and my art #art #wip #spinosaurus #jurassicpark #paleoart

I've released at least 10 games and only one of them kinda blew up (got about 4500 views on Scratch and lots of positive comments!) To be fair, the majority were made back when I was an amateur and I didn't know anything about marketing. Still don't to be honest.

King Henchman @kinghenchman.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

the intro is cool but i think the instrumentation gets a bit cluttered towards the end. there's too much going on for me to focus on one consistent melody or rhythm.

bruh how did this not get any likes? that crazy intro alone should've guaranteed at least a couple.

King Henchman @kinghenchman.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

I deal with this nonsense even to this day and I'd consider myself a mostly rational dev now. On the bright side, I've learnt to foresee when this happens 👀 Of course, if I struggle to fix it, the "its a feature, not a bug" card is always available... right??

interesting. it's a shame this stuff isn't more well-known. it feels like the musical equivalent of YTPs in a good way.

King Henchman @kinghenchman.bsky.social · 09/02/2025

I can barely comprehend what this random dude is trying to say. I think he tried to say something "awe-inspiring" and "deep" but failed spectacularly, especially when he blocked you for no reason. That's not someone you ever want to listen to.

lol it'd be funny if we could actually see raindrops shaped like that (old) in real life.

Nah. It's not about where you started. It's about where you get to :)

King Henchman @kinghenchman.bsky.social · 09/02/2025

For something made in 1979, this is very ahead of its time. It'd be cool if this was actually featured in a boss fight.

Me when I started making my very first proper game on roblox as a little kid, seeing it as a quick fun way to become famous. Hahahaha, I did NOT realise what was in store for me.

this is actually sick. how did you make this?

"If you see this, quote with a game you've played multiple times." It took me at least 300 attempts spread across several months to successfully beat this 2 min game. This is supposed to be the demo 😭

King Henchman @kinghenchman.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

I'm assuming this is your 3rd beepbox song, and it already sounds well-made, like something from undertale. How long have you been doing music for??

King Henchman @kinghenchman.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

This happens with every trend honestly. Before you know it, old youtube 480p will be the next "retro" lofi filter lol. Actually, it kind of is already.

"Seatrance" Made for a beepbox challenge. It starts off sounding like chill submarine ambience, then becomes breakcore-ish for a second before seamlessly transitioning into good ol' trance. I really like how I did the intro :D #beepbox #ultrabox #trance #breakcore #submarine tinyurl.com/2cwamrqr

This goes hard! The mixing sounds a little off though. The compression I think is too much and it sounds "empty" for some reason. But don't get it wrong, this is very good.

Ah I see what you mean. I can relate to getting stuck on the most random problems too. Programming can be goofy sometimes 😭

To elaborate: I'm not saying cheat but alot of people reuse little bits of code or straight up use premade assets to speed up workflow in game jams. Depends on the jam but from what I've seen, it's fair game as long as you're not literally developing the whole game before the jam starts.

King Henchman @kinghenchman.bsky.social · 31/01/2025

The thing is that these force you to come up with engaging ideas in a short space of time and think outside the box within the time constraints. It sounds fun at first but you really have to be wise with time management and planning. I'd recommend recycling stuff you've made before. Makes life easy.
