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.)

     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.
