I thought it was ready. Joe thought it was ready. We sent it to play testers.
It wasn't ready.
Thankfully there was nothing major to be fixed. There was a tileset issue, whereby it was entirely possible to walk over everything inside the CCC hut. Fortunately that just took ten minutes to fix. There were stylistic issues that me and Joe disagreed on. It wasn't that we disagreed on how it should work, we disagreed on if it should be implemented into the demo. On the day before it had to go out. We ended up leaving it undecided, with a view to decide on a final style for the final demo version.

Regarding the stylistic issues, we don’t usually have many disagreements regarding the design of towns or interiors. It should be mentioned that my taste and style is impeccable (just got myself some pretty rad leopard print curtains) whereas Cunt lives in a disused warehouse with three other men.
Hard Work
Stupid Names
After the demo we will be working in a different way for the rest of the game. We started off with a start and end and played it fast and loose in between. We are very pleased with how things have panned out so far, but to plan the rest of the game we will be working in month long sprints, planning out what to do over that month and then implementing it. That way we will never lose more than a month of work if we decide to change things during that development phase. Who knows, by the next blog that could be out the window.
Comedy is a funny thing. There are endless mediums through which comedy can be created, but video gaming is probably the least used of all those mediums. Is it even possible to make people laugh through video games? And even if it is, is it possible to make it a staple of the game? It’s been rarely touched upon in video game history, until the untouchable The Stick of Truth proved that it was possible. But we’re by no means anywhere near the same level as comedy genius masterminds Matt and Trey, so we had to start small; giving things stupid names.

99% of the people, places, objects, quests and dialogue reference assholes. I’ll get that in straight away. My old psychology lecturer will later tell me that it’s the virtual manifestation of the shameful desires of some twenty-something year olds who were ignored at school screaming for attention. That and assholes are funny. Anyway, here’s how the inspiration for some of our stupidest names came to fruition.
A woman I used to sit with at work once told me "You have grey in your beard!". I told her it was because I was turning into Gandalf, to which she asked "The Indian man with no shoes?". I said "No, that’s Ghandi you stupid bitch, now get out of my scout hut!". Anyway, Mahatma Gandalf was born that day, and he remains one of my favourite bastardised parodies.

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then FLY, YOU FOOLS!" - Mahatma Gandalf
There’s always one guy who has to go too far in trying to be better than his peers. We all know someone like this, and if you don’t know anyone like this, then it’s probably you. I have been an amateur magician for a number of years and like any amateur in something (except porn), I have my heroes (actually, maybe porn). For those old enough to remember when David Blaine was a crazy mystifying demonic bad ass, I envy you. I’ve been trying to forget he ever did anything post-2003 but it’s becoming pretty difficult because the man is obviously insane. We were making fun of him one day and Cunt said something regarding David Blaine trying to ride an eagle across America because he was off his tits on smack or something, and then one of us suggested that he might end up crashing into a plane, and so David Plane was born.

I love Stephen Merchant. I think he’s awesome in everything he’s ever done. I honored him by putting him in Vulville, as a merchant.
ISIS – not much to say about this one. We just wanted to make fun of the progressive metal band from Los Angeles.
Uh, what’s that?... I assumed the band dressed like ninjas? What are you talking about, deluded religious dickheads?

We never claimed that. Oh… you played the part where the Crew Cut Clan murder them? Err…
Until next time folks!
