ONE BIG QUEST
ONE BIG QUEST
Anonymous asked: So does that guy in Covetous have an actual name? Meaning, the guy who was harboring the parasitic twin. Curiosity is all. I like delving deeper into people's characters.
Nope, he never had a name. I’m in the philosophy that characters in some games require only the minimal amount of description, as to avoid distraction- especially in a game as short as Covetous.
Anonymous asked: How did you get the inspiration to make Covetous?
I loved the idea of making a game that attempts to make you question the morality of the monster that is your vehicle. Originally, I pictured a demon living inside of a person that had to tear about to survive but didn’t want to completely destroy it’s host, but it seemed too fantastical for what I was wanting to make. I had read about fetus in fetu somewhere on the internet and decided to use that as the platform.
Back when I made that game, I was in love (and still am to a different degree) with the games of Increpare. In fact, now that I’m reflecting on this, his game Brain Damage might be a better thought out, more mature Covetous.
Thanks for the question!
The Fresh Ten Commandments: The Fresh Ten
Recent events have made it clear that we are suffering from a broken moral compass. People today could use some general guidance.
Since the original ten commandments seem somewhat narrow and obsolete (too much focus on livestock, servants, and jealous god issues), here is a modest first…
I hate to be ‘that guy’ but I think #4 should remove the bit about the scientific method since it’s debatable as to whether or not it’s the best method for understanding our world, especially since the first part recommends being open to new ideas.
Releasing my new 38 page photo zine into the wild and to celebrate I’m giving away a copy. All you’ve got to do is follow me on tumblr and reblog this entry. Winner will be selected at 9:00 pm Tuesday the 26th.
How can I get one of these?
I’ve been working on a cartoon. This is a doodle of two of the characters wearing sweaters.
The coffeehouse I work at uses an app that lets us make schedules and see when we work and stuff. All the default icons on that app are really ugly, so to practice my pixel art abilities I made all my co-workers portraits so when we look at our schedules we can see each other’s smiling faces! (The last one is me.)
