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.)

     Hello Dragons and we're here in July so I figured I'd give you another update on some things. Development still continues on my game with now being able to rotate furniture while holding the "R" button while in placement mode of any build-able object. This is something I wanted to get into the game earlier but was more focused on getting needed things in first. Now you are able to rotate to how you want your object to look before you place it down and I'm very happy with how it turned out. I also have fine tuned the placement of crates on storage racks to where you actually see the crate leave your hands and enter the slot it should. This gives it a bit more of an immersive feel as immersion is what I'm going for in this game, so you feel like you're actually doing the things you're doing.

     That's about all I have for my game currently in development but what about other games out there? Well, this is one that I have my eye on and will probably pick up as I loved the first one and actually streamed it on Twitch when I first began as a content creator. So, if you been around with my channel for that long, then you already knew I was gonna be picking this one up. Also, if you have been that's frickin' awesome and thanks for sticking with me for that long! I think the best thing about this one that has me excited is the fact that we will be able to tame bugs, breed bugs and be able to ride our bugs. That just sounds epic to me as (you already probably knew) I'm a huge fan of animal husbandry and farming mechanics in games like these as well as simulators such as the one I'm building. Everything else is pretty much icing on the cake for me in this game.

     That's the only game I have newly added to my buy list, but maybe you have one you could recommend to me and others in the comments below. Again, I'll keep you updated on the progress in my game here as well as Discord (with mini updates and screen shots.) This week and the past have mostly been back end fixes for this website and a brand new system for user verification as well as for forgotten passwords. You can now get verified much faster with this system along with password recovery with ease. Just enter you E-Mail on the password recovery system and as long as your email is correct, you will be sent what you need to get right back into this website. 

     This system will be applied to any other areas that need it as well. I'll be getting back to a new shorts next week and hopefully get back to my game next week. Again, it's rough right now to get work on this stuff with my kid out school for summer so I'm getting what I can get done until school is back in session, heh. That's all I have for you for now, hope you have a great 4th of July and don't forget to check out the video of Grounded 2 I posted above if you haven't already, I'm sure you won't be disappointed with what you see in the video. Goodbye.. for now. 

     Here is another beauty I'm looking forward and will be saving up for. This is a remake of the original DS Game Harvest Moon Grand Bazaar, which was one of my all time favorites of the series. If you are a farming simulator fan like myself, then I encourage you to check out the video above. If you don't mind a cartoonish style game with a great original farming experience as these developers have been making them for many years and though they have let me down in some of the previous titles, majority have been very good along with the Rune Factory series. This one however changes the formula and allows you to run your very own shop along with running your very own farm. This is something that you will be able to do in my game, but mine will be much more elaborate. This game is much more light on the selling aspect and more focus on the farming aspect. I think a lot of you who are into farming games will really enjoy this one.

UPDATE

     I'm Bringing you an update on the current development of my game and the previous video that not many have seen is now on YouTube :). Currently I have moved on from the features shown in the video and entered development on Harvesting Crops and storing them in different ways. At this moment Harvesting crops into crates is 100% complete and looks great, but I won't be showing anything off until storage is complete.  Storage is in the middle of completion as there is still some things I want to add onto it before it is finished. Those things I want to show the player on the Storage Furniture are for example: Displaying what is in the crate and how much is stored in the crate that is placed on the new Crate Storage Furniture that you just built on your farm.

     I have also started work on the UI of the game, but it is still very much a work in progress as there is much more I need to display to the player for a very user friendly experience. Currently there is a new Tutorial UI Element that displays at the bottom left of the game at all times. This Tutorial stays updated as you do things on the farm to keep you posted on what button does what when it is pressed. I'll be updating this as development continues to fit with the new things added. You will always know how to go about doing things during this game, so no worries there :). 

     As you can see from the thumbnail new Crops were added to the game and many more will be added as I release updates. Why I'm doing these incrementally is because each crop has graphical stages and the math is different for each crop during each stage. My code will automatically do the math to make the phases change correctly, but I will need to manually attach graphics to each phase along with adding each phase change in harvesting (I'll tell you about this next.) While harvesting and inserting crops into a crate (as you will always need a crate to harvest crops) you will be greeted with a dynamically changing crate to show the crop you just harvested and with a simulated amount. What that means is as you harvest each plant, you will see the crops rise in the crate until it is full of crops, pretty neat huh? Yes, this is all tested and is working, but I'm not showing it off until I have storage done, so you'll just have to wait ;).

     Aside from the above, you may have noticed I am re-editing and re-uploading Mod Showcases on my YouTube channel for Project Zomboid. The reason for this is a lot of the modders are either A.) Busy with College or B.) Just burnt out on the game at this time.. Thus leaving not so many mods for me to cover (the ones that I usually do that is.) I do plan to return to Mod Showcases as soon as they start popping up, but they will be at a 1 or 2 per month basis as my Game is now Priority and I think it should be ;). My game has a lot of potential as it has been tested by someone else and they thoroughly enjoyed it, not only that minimal bugs were found so I'm off to a good start :D. This game isn't my first game, but it is one that will be released to the masses for the first time and I'm very excited for that. If you want to see other games made by me, you can find them all on this website ;). That said, I have plenty of experience on what a player could do and I always code based on knowing that, but some things could slide by.

     My current plan before releasing to Very Early Access is to make sure it is a Game, by that I mean it functions like a game and can be played like a game. This means a progression system (will be very basic at Very Early Access,) Full Market where you will sell your goods to customers that walk in an physically purchase goods from your cash register (yes I will be making this game as immersive as possible ;D,) and a clean Farming experience for you to enjoy while earning those fat stacks from your harvested goods. Early Access (on Steam) will expand on this with several things including not limited to but up to Animal Husbandry, Good Production (Flour, Oil, Alcohol *If it doesn't effect the rating otherwise it will wait till my next game ;D oh yes this game is just the foundation to future games I have mind, the fun doesn't end here ;D,) Vehicles to Drive, and More! This means, you can expect a fully working game with plenty to do when it hits Early Access on steam along with minimal to no bugs at all, yey! Yes, I am a content creator I am very familiar with games being terribly buggy at EA release and I will make sure that doesn't happen with mine.

     That's all I have for you as of right now and I can't wait to show you what I have done this far with a video soon! I myself am having a blast with the farming this game has at the moment, so I can only imagine what it will be when it all comes together, heh. I really enjoy testing my game and look forward to testing it with the help of another (who also is waiting for the next test phase, heh.) Catch you in the next Mod Showcase or maybe a Live Stream ;), goodbye.. for now...
