A Game About Cleaning In A Building.

Splattle Sibsters

Happy splatfest! I played a bunch of Splatoon 2 today while also watching a stream of Battle Brothers. So here’s a mashup of those. Please enjoy tactical squid com-splat.

I’ve been enjoying Splatoon a whole lot. The core loop of ‘battle -> get cash -> buy clothes -> repeat’ is very enticing! I love a good dress-up game. I’ve only just started to dip my toes into Salmon Run, as my interest in the Turf War starts to wane (splatfests aside). I had very little interest in ranked until recently– I got really into ARMS’s ranked mode for a couple weeks, which has rekindled my interest in it for Splatoon.

Battle Brothers’ tactical-minis fighting seems pretty neat! Unfortunate that the  writing seems to be on that low-fantasy “it’s not realistic if women have agency” bullshit. All in all I’m happy to watch streams of it rather than play it myself.

As an aside– I think a splatoon tactics game could be really cool, although I don’t know that battle brothers’ approach is *quite* the right fit. Battle brothers is really focused on formations (as far as I’ve seen) while Splatoon has a big focus on using your colored turf to increase your mobility (swimmin’ as a squid, super jumps)

I never got around to posting the finished version of this for some reason? Well anyway, here’s a little thing I made last year. It’s supposed to look like old promo/cover art for an arcade game. I think I did a decent job at catching that aesthetic.

If I could make whatever I wanted (independent of my programming/modeling ability).

Also, while looking up that one Kat Kong thing, I saw this fake boxart for a hypothetical game, and I had to show it to you because, holy crap, the rating…

Video Game Idea: A Shmup inspired by US labor history, particularly in Appalachia in a way that @afloweroutofstone and @lang-lassiter might dig.

Basically a group of miners working in horrible conditions on a planet far in space go on strike. The corporation who owns the planet collaborates with the Galactic Federation to take ‘em out. The player character is an old; beardy hillbilly-lookin type veteran of some long-ago space war who still owns the ship he used in it, albeit in somewhat ramshackle condition.

It’d be part classic SHMUP/rail shooter/aerial-dogfight-game, but also part resource management as you have to pick up parts from destroyed foes to repair and add on to your ship, because it;s constantly breaking down and in need of repairs.

As for the inspiration…
