My game number three just released on Steam, and it's all about number two!

Hardhat Wombat is a cute puzzle-platformer construction game that I made with @thegeorgefan.

@Violent_JD Lately a bit. What would you want to see?

[Andy Hull @StoryFort]

Some pretty fun games of Dunk Lords!

This is especially cool, since I definitely had late 80s/early 90s pro wrestling partially in mind when making the game.

Dunk Lords Gets ABSURD with The Outrunners! Dunks, drama, and total nonsense await on this episode of #BronamiCode!!! Who will be the king of the court? 🏀

@RealThirstyman Thanks for the kind words!

[Andy Hull @StoryFort]

March 18th marked five years since Dunk Lords initial release. To celebrate the madness, the Nintendo Switch version is on sale for only $1.99 for the duration of the tourney.

It's a great local multiplayer arcade game, and the story mode can even be played couch co-op!

Here's a magazine-style ad I made for the initial release:

Been working on my painting skills a bit trying to level up. So much more relaxing than coding. :)

@girlbugquest @FourbitFriday @phubans @perryjon @mossmouth @strotchy @OjiroFumoto I already did a bit of this for the 3D model. Scale is based entirely around the DIN connectors and the floppy drive.

Had to make some small adjustments from the drawings I was given to make everything work out.

[Andy Hull @StoryFort]

@willy_dylly @mossmouth @BurstErr0r Nope! The trailer shots are all CG console + real video.

[Andy Hull @StoryFort]

@willy_dylly @mossmouth @BurstErr0r If you wanted to make this work for real, you could probably repurpose some TG-16 or NES style controller guts and convert them using 3D printed LX controller shells.

[Andy Hull @StoryFort]

Thanks Derek! This was a blast to work on.

Now to figure out if I can 3d print myself a working LX. 🤔

[Derek Yu @mossmouth]

A big shout out to @BurstErr0r for directing our launch trailer! I've been a fan of his retro game streams and videos for years and it was a pleasure to work with him on this.

And also to our longtime friend @StoryFort for providing the amazing LX-III model and the intro/outro!

UFO 50 is OUT NOW on Steam! It's time to explore a collection of 50 brand new games. #UFO50

This podcast was a nice surprise. I haven't heard people discuss Dunk Lords in a couple years at this point, so it really brought me back.

I still have mixed feelings thinking back to development and launch, so it was encouraging to hear such positive thoughts about the game.

[George Fan @thegeorgefan]

Hardhat Wombat is a whopping 50% off right now as part of Steam's spring sale! Go! Get!

Long time since my last update, but rest assured this game is still being made! Here's an interesting interaction between two weapons in the meantime.

I was on local TV over the weekend talking about Hardhat Wombat!

I was told there usually isn't this much talk about poop on their channel. Any media outlet that wants me to come on and raise that ratio, I'm available

Hey, @thegeorgefan! We got our first meme.

[TheBluehatPerson @BluehatMG24]

hardhat wombat meme (real)

[George Fan @thegeorgefan]

As of right now, Hardhat Wombat has 100% positive reviews on Steam, the latest of which is just a one line review that says:
"Opening the pause menu creates a fart sound."

Well, what are you waiting for? A better review than that?? I say go get this game!
https://t.co/118r0aDhkJ

[Andy Hull @StoryFort]

@LemonsFan @thegeorgefan @GamesRadar Whoa! Never seen that.

Does this stay even if you restart the game? Do you know what triggered it to start?

Those are the little "progenitor" sprites that shoot out of the wombat's butt and then travel to the block location and spawn the big block.

(I'm the programmer!)

[Andy Hull @StoryFort]

Cool article about Hardhat Wombat.

(It's also the first place I've mentioned the severe burnout I experienced after Dunk Lords.)

[George Fan @thegeorgefan]

And in case you missed it, a wonderful article by @GamesRadar talking to me and @Storyfort about Hardhat Wombat
