Just a small update for you guys today.. I've been continuing work on the first part of my new Web game. I recently announced on discord what it is, so I'll let those of you know who are not on discord here. The new game will be a farming simulator, but will function at real time! Some have said it sounds like a farming Tamagotchi and well... they are not wrong. You will have a pot you will need to seed and care for until it is harvest time. Between the time of harvest you will need to keep it thriving or it could cost you the output of when it is ready to harvest. There will be a progression system with a level cap of 99! Yeah, I know level 99 is a lot of levels. Do not worry, you'll have plenty to earn between level 1 all the way through to level 99. Along with this is a perk system that will add some bonuses for your skill level.

     The new game still has a lot of work to be done before it is ready for you guys to dive into. This is the first part of a big one and this one will take a little more time than the future parts as I have the back end to work on along with the game features. The good thing about this though is that the future games will just be expanded on top of the back end that I have to build. So, that's why the future parts will be developed much quicker as I'll be mostly focusing on just the game part and using the back end that will already be available. I think a lot of you will enjoy this game for those of you who like farming or something you can look after while the time passes whenever you choose to plant your seeds. It will also give you something to look forward to when you unlock a new plant to care for and then turn into sellable goods you can turn into more seeds for more harvests. I'm really looking forward to the final build myself as I am a huge farming fan.

     In other news, if you haven't checked out my latest Project Zomboid Mod Showcase, you can do so with the video above. I'll go over what I liked about it in the end of the video along with highlighting the juicy details about the vehicle(s) in the mod. Feel free to let me know your thoughts in the comments below or in the video, I do enjoy reading what you guys have to say as my opinion is just one opinion, more opinions gives a new watcher more of an idea if they want to download it or not. If you are a Mod Dev and your mod fits what I cover, feel free to let me know on Discord or by contacting me with the Contact form (that form will get your letter to me directly.)

     That's all I have for you guys this week and I hope you all are doing well! I'm aiming to get a new video out to you guys this week, so good bye.. for now... ;)

     Dragon Seize has gone through a complete overhaul! You will now discover an entirely new look along with some additional fixes and features. One of those features is that it is now Mobile ready! You can now open it up right from the mobile website of this page via the menu bar above and get right to playing. All you need is an account if you do not have one already, but that will not take long with all of the new back-end work I have done last week with making account creation even faster and efficient than before! Not only that, but if you forget your password you now have a brand new tool to use to get you saving dragons by guessing those words in DragonSeize.

     Here is a look at DragonSeize in action if you wanted an inside look. There you will now see that it has a keyboard button for you to quickly open the built-in keyboard just like EmberMatch! This will enable you to guess letters without delay by just clicking an "Ok" button right after choosing a letter. Can you guess the word before the dragon is caught?! Take the HighScore and others who play will know you're quite the Dragon saver ;). Unless... of course someone else takes your Dragon saving spot from under you.

     Here's a look at the keyboard you will be using on Mobile (you may also use it on desktop if you prefer.) The chosen letter will always be shown to you in the built in keyboard so you know for sure what you selected even if it shows you in the guessed word preview as well. This is encase you have bigger fingers like me that tag other letters while using mobile keyboards. You'll be able to back space right out of that situation with the "<-" backspace button. Smash that "OK" button and you just signed off on that letter you chose. Hopefully you guess correctly before the third try or another Dragon will be caught!

     That's right! DragonSeize wasn't the only game to get an update. EmberMatch now has sounds! These sounds will be throughout your play to make interacting even more fun! I have played it (many times) and yeah I find the sounds make interacting with the game more enjoyable. There were also some fixes added that were not in the previous build as well, nothing major but fixes that were needed to prevent future issues with well... what leads me to the next thing to talk about...

     A brand new game coming soon! I cannot spoil much, but what I can tell you is this game will lead to many games with a big game finish. What that means is all of those games will work with each other as they are released. The last game made will be the final part of the game as a whole. I cannot spoil much as of yet as development is still in progress, but I will right away when I can! Thanks for reading the above and I hope you enjoy the new additions to both of the games I have made! Go get that HighScore ;) as that is all for this update, goodbye for.. now... 

     It's been a bit since I posted here, so I thought I would go ahead and fix that . If you are a fan of Project Zomboid like me then you will be happy to read that It looks like we are getting a stable build 42 this year, that's great news! Apparently it is a big update coming in the said "build 42 candidate," but they won't be revealing anything until it is complete. So, I'm excited to see what they bring before releasing build 42 to the public. It's been a bit since I played Zomboid, so I cannot wait to dive back in with some new stuff to look forward to when I return to streaming and creating content after the summer break. 

     In other news, I have halted game development on my Monster game. I was going to keep this quiet, but I figured it would be rude to keep the thought of progress of a game that is halted in development. That is the bad news though, now it's time for the good news.. I have moved back to the plan I had prior to the monster game and that is the development of a game called "Hook and Shoot Shop Simulator." This game will use a lot of the code I used in the farming game I was previously working on prior to the Monster game. It's something I probably should of done before getting started on the Monster game, but it's okay I'll be returning to the Monster game in time. This game will be of smaller scale of the farming game and will also be a different theme as you may have guessed from reading the title of the game.

     With the above said, I will not be going into detail of what the game will be at this time due to it not being ready for a full blown announcement just yet. I have been designing this game in the background and it has reached its concept in its entirety. I have been doing a lot of scene work recently and plan to continue until summer break is over and my kid returns to school. Then I'll be returning to the script side of things to get things working. There is a lot of work to be done, but since it is a smaller scale game, it won't take nearly as much time as the Monster game would of, which is the largest reason of my change in development. It's something that could generate some income when I return to that game. The game has taken some drastic changes in design to increase its fun factor, but by doing that it has made the development time increase way too much and it could take 4 - 5 years to complete by myself. If enough funds are generated with my first game, then I will probably hire an additional programmer to make it progress faster.

     I will give you more updates on the game I'm working on as it gets developed on Discord, so you can read more about it there if you wish to do so. I'll be taking it public when the time is right, so you will start seeing updates here and possibly in content across all platforms on my channel (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and maybe even Twitch *links provided above.*) The game will have a lot of the depth that was going into the farming game and will be expanded even during Early Access, but only with expanded gameplay not core mechanics. This game will not enter Early Access until all of the core mechanics are in the game and working 100% or near 100% as there may be some bugs that sneak by but shouldn't be anything too serious. This game will enter Very Early Access to hopefully squash some bugs out before it goes into Steam Early Access just as the Monster game was going to do and I'll go more into that when the time is right for those of you who may be interested in joining the very early access journey.

     That's all I have for you this week, I aim to get back to my regular scheduled content creating program near mid August, but could be sooner. Hope to catch you in my new content in August and again thanks for all of your continued support in my work! Have a great rest of the summer, see you in a new stream or video in August! Goodbye.. for now... ;D

     Quick update for you guys; there's a new Mod Showcase available if you were not aware of it yet. I really liked this one and no doubt I'll be using it future playthroughs of Project Zomboid, so if you haven't checked out the video and you like Ford Rangers, then I recommend you to give it a look. There are 5 different vehicles included in this mod, so plenty for you to choose from while your smashing zombies trying to find a ride.

     In other news, I have already started work on my new Monster Trainer game and this is a teaser from the game in its very early state. Monster AI is what I'll be focusing on this week and possibly next week if I can't get all of what I plan to get done this week. Aside from that, what you see in the photos is the very first scene your monster will be placed in. This is also a work in progress, but a lot of it is already available, so I didn't mind sharing it with you. The current monster shown is a Skeleton Monster (names will be made at a later time) which will be one of the types of monsters you'll be able to care for. You will also be able to name your monster, so if you don't like what it is called you won't have to worry. This game will work right off of this website, so yes you will need a free account on this website in order to play the game as all saved data will be going to your user name. It is also possible for me to incorporate your monsters data from the game into this website for sharing or for you to see personally just by browsing, which I think is pretty cool ;).

     There is a lot to coming to this game, so I can't spoil too much, but if you wish to know more then yes please be sure to Subscribe to my YouTube channel and bookmark this website as I will be posting more news here. Also, those of you who selected Monster Rancher as your favorite on the YouTube poll... then I have great news for you as this game is if a Digivice and Monster Rancher had a baby.. and oh boy can I not wait till it's finished as that right there sounds awesome and I'm very excited to play it myself, heh. This is a game that I would very much enjoy, so you can expect my heart to go into this game to make it the best I can!

     That's all for this quick update, catch you in the next one! Goodbye.. for now... :)  (Feel free to comment below, I'll try to answer back as soon as I can.)
