Coozy McMillan #5... on 09.25.2009

Just finished Coozy McMillan #5 - The Game, and have written the scripts for the next two, so I'll probably draw those soon, but the problem is, I really should be working on Straight Bullyism... which is what I'm actually being paid to do, but I don't really enjoy working on it as much. I can afford to do a few more though, but I've spent 85.5 hours in the last month on Coozy McMillan and only 21.75 hours on SB.



I really could be doing more work, so far I've only got a 3.13 hour/day average for September. Aside from laundry, dishes, grocery shopping, loafting and skateboarding, I could probably squeeze in another hour or two a day, but it's haaard doing Flash so much. Still better than school or work though! It's fun now that everybody's back in school and I don't have to go heh heh.

I've finished a lot of the easy-to-animate sprites for the fights in Straight Bullyism, so now that I'm working on the hard, cool-looking ones I thought I'd show off the basic ones. They still took a LONG time to animate. Enjoy, and sorry if it's lagging your computer, whatever.

Click here to see them, they're lagging way to much.

I also finished and released the next 2 Coozy McMillan comics. Check out #3 - Dr. McMillan and #4 - Rhyme Master McMillan. Here's a little screenshot from #4.



I'd help out my friend if you clicked this link. Yeeeeeaaaah.

Coozy McMillan Web Comic! on 09.02.2009

I've started a new website called CoozyMcMillan.com, which is a web comic starring my dog, Coozy. CM will hopefully grow into much larger-scale project, but right now I have 2 comics already made. I'm going to try to put out a new comic every week, seeing as I'm doing this stuff full-time that sounds possible, but we'll see if that actually ends up happening. I suggest signing up for the CM Mailing List.

Edit: Got the August Work Hours up. Making the CM website and comics took 38 hours and 45 mins.

I haven't given up on Straight Bullyism obviously, the Coozy McMillan web comic is just a good way for me to release small things along the way of making whatever big thing I'm working on. Also, I'm oooobbbbviiiously not ditching Snubby Land to work on CM, I just thought "pff why not make a whole new site, what eva I do what I want!" I'm going to integrate the 2 sites together more over time.

Anyway, I'm going to post the whole first Coozy McMillan comic below, there's also #2 - Crazy Bitch.



Also in other non-SL news, 4 guys tried to fucking rob me on my way home a few days ago, lucky I was able to outrun them. I really shouldn't have been walking around outside at 4:30am, but I was coming home from a friends house. And, 26 days ago my super-cute girlfriend broke up with me, lol. We dated for 9 months and I was pretty sad, but I'm over it now. Still, thanks a lot life, you asshole.

I'm really going to try to update SL more often. Right now I'm still working hard on Straight Bullyism, but in the last week I've started a new side project, and you'll be able to see it in the next few days hopefully, so I don't want to spoil it now but here's a tiny screenshot, but check back in a few days and I'll have it up.



But yeah, this whole professional Flash thing seems to be going pretty fuckin' well! Since I've been doing it for the last 2 months, I'm making way more than I have to pay for rent, food, etc. just by doing Flash-related stuff, and I'll be making way more (hopefully) once I can finally finish Straight Bullyism.

Also, Isaiah will most likely be moving out. Don't really feel like writing about it, basically it's hard and also he's got other things he's doing so it's not working.

Straight Bullyism Progress... on 08.02.2009

I'm getting really excited about the game I'm working on, Straight Bullyism. I've been doing a lot of work lately, ever since moving out and doing Flash as a job. I worked for over 130 hours this month, which is 4.23h/day (including the days I did no work when I was moving in)! At the bottom of this post I put the work hours for this month, check the Work Statistics for more info.



Time for some more info on Straight Bullyism. It's an adventure/RPG turn-based fighting game, where you are a bully in elementary school climbing the ranks of the underground bullying world. You can travel the hallways fighting other students and stealing their items, money and homework, or go to the washrooms and get missions from other bullies... whatever it takes to get through grade 6 without doing any actual work.



Here's an estimate of some of the gameplay specs:

- I'm animating the entire game in frame-by-frame animation, cutscenes at 15fps and gameplay at 10fps. The game it self runs at 30fps if there is no lagg.
- From 5 to 10 minutes of cutscenes.
- At least 4 common hallway enemies with unique attacks
- At least 6 items
- At least 8 special attacks
- At least 8 different plot characters

More info on SB can be found in the preview.


On an unrelated note, if you want to play in any The World's Hardest Game cash tournaments which should be starting soon, I'd go and sign up on Payout Hub (as a player), and deposit some money into your account, because it takes like a week to process the request.
