XSHIRT (The return)

Jacob/Jake | 22 | Guy | I do a lot of things. I'm on this strange world to make stuff happen.

I play tf2, Roblox, and some other stuff

Hey there. I'm back. For real.
I didn't miss Twitter. At all. But part of me is glad I've returned to damnation.
Bellow this message is a thread. Feel free to read, but for those who want a TL:DR, *ahem*...

Since I'm on my little break, here's more stuff! I'm skipping over what I was meaning to show for my template game.

I fixed up my very first pinball game: Heart of the Void. It's been this way for a year, but it holds well!

And yes, the boss is still here.

Wow I hate to be the bringer of bad news after an info drought, but unfortunately I had to put Pinball Planet on hold for a bit so that I can figure out how I'll deal with college.
But I did see that there was a small spike in activity in the game. Thanks guys! I'll be back soon!

[XSHIRT (The return) @JakeTheNewb]

So at this point it's been WELL into 2020 since the last edit to Heart of the Void. I decided it'd be better to make a template that can be the bassline for more pinball games instead!

This was build 1, and it was gonna take a bit of time to finalize...

Ah yeah sorry about not continuing the "retroactive updates every day or so" shtick. Been pretty busy. I'll make another """update""" in like 10 or so minutes.

[XSHIRT (The return) @JakeTheNewb]

Fast-forward just a little bit more (It's now 2020), and my final chance at fixing up the game ends with making the boss.
But even that didn't save the game from its INSANELY messy code. I would ditch this project until I had an idea on how to fix everything.

Fast-forward a few months later (It's late-2019 at this point) and after a bit of fine-tuning, I suddenly find the sweet-spot:
"Wait, this WORKS?!"
So I give the pinball game an improved style, cool particle effects, and a nicer color palette.

So this was made back in 9/2/2019.
It was my second attempt at a pinball engine and an attempt at a particular art style to go with it. In retrospect, it was INCREDIBLY rough, but it did work!

Does a post a day sound good to yawl? It may take longer since I still got things to attend to IRL, but we'll keep it at that. A "retroactive" update about Pinball Planet each day or so sounds good to me. I'll start after this thread, actually.

SO what have I returned here for? I'm gonna post information about my development stuff from 2019 to the present day since I've got quite a bit to show. Maybe the occasional pixel animation too? Yeah, I've gotten back to it.

[XSHIRT (The return) @JakeTheNewb]

I've been away for several months working on something I don't think's ever been seen on the Roblox platform as a game: PINBALL!!
I've released Pinball Planet in VERY VERY early access! It's got flippers, gimmicks, and a BOSS FIGHT??

Kept yawl waiting, hmm? Been a few months, but I've arrived once again.

Also wow 2020.

[XSHIRT (The return) @JakeTheNewb]

Thanks for being patient dudes. I have something really special to show some time early next year. STAY TUNED.

Alright dudes, it's been a hot minute since I've been here, don't ask why, I don't know =^)

But I guess I'm back? I got something to show soon... maybe on November?
