And now, it's time to welcome "Spooky" season! My favorite time of the year. I'm really looking forward to the next coming months and excited to be working on games again. What will October bring? Keep checking back for more news & updates to find out!
Today I held the very first Samer Direct over on my twitter account. It's a day full of Samer gaming news, previews, info, announcements, gamedev plans, etc. It's a brief look at what's brewing over at Snowconesolid Productions. I talk about what I'm working on, show off some cool gifs, videos and previews and give sneak peeks into current and future Samer Khatib games. The Samer Direct is similar to that one other Direct show but far less interesting and exciting. It's actually not even a show or a live stream or anything fancy at all.
The Samer Direct that was held over on my twitter today was basically just me spamming my twitter feed with a bunch of cool gifs. It was me posting news about what I was working on in an extremely unorganized fashion. I was all over the place. I'm pretty sure many got annoyed by it at some point. With that said, I would say overall, the very first Samer Direct was a big success and was well received. I enjoyed sharing and showcasing some of my newest work and what I have been building up for a while now. I intend on doing more Samer Directs for future announcements of Samer Khatib Games and I intend on doing it the same exact way as I did today. Just blasting tweets. "LOOK AT MY NEW GAME!" "CHECK THIS OUT!"
With that out of the way, here is a full recap of everything shown and talked about in today's Samer Direct (Samer Direct 1) including all the very cool gifs I posted! (This post is just a collection of all the tweets a I posted for the Samer Direct all bundled into one post.)
A spooky anthological horror video game series that follows Samer Khatib as he explores the atmospheric, enigmatic, ominous, & often foggy world of Samer Hills. Strange & creepy things happen in Samer Hills & you're invited to experience them!
A place of the unexplained, the paranormal, & the bizarre. A mysterious, surreal, dreamlike world of nightmares, terror, & oddities. Its the home of freaks, creeps, ghosts, otherworldly beings, strange creatures, & just about anything else your wildest imagination can think of! 💀
Join Samer Khatib as he goes on new adventures, makes new friends, and attempts to survive in Samer Hills! 👻🔪
Step aside Mario! Samer Khatib is the new face of gaming! In the next set of tweets, we share what features the new most iconic figure in gaming has to offer! What makes him unique and so great?
Samer Khatib is often clueless and lazy! He can't run very fast and has horrible stamina! In a situation where you need to run for your life? Samer Khatib is the type of character who would not make it out alive!
He can't jump very high either!
And he's a total wimp! Afraid of every little noise he hears. Even the sound of a fart will give him a heart attack!
All these traits make Samer Khatib the perfect protagonist for the world of Samer Hills as well as gaming in general! Samer Khatib is the exact opposite of everything a video game hero should be.
This is a game series/project that has been years in the making. Something i've always wanted to bring to fruition but was never able to because I was never at that level to produce the game in the quality I had envisioned.
The Debug is my most recent game & that came out only days ago. Giraffe Town came out nearly 2 years ago. I decided to take a step back from making games. I needed to improve, sharpen my skills, & learn more. I didn't want to make games until I was ready again.
The quality of my games is something that is super important to me. They have to feel well made. They have to look good. They have to be unique & work as expected. When making The Debug, quality & presentation meant everything to me. I have these higher standards for my work now.
As mentioned, Samer Hills is an anthological series. There is no continuing storyline. Games are not labeled as episodes. The order does not matter. Each Samer Hills title will be it's own unique standalone game.
The first Samer Hills title announced was shown in the end of The Debug. It will be called: Samer Hills Toxic Turtle. This title as well as many other Samer Hills titles are in development. Please note: other Samer Hills titles might be announced and released before Toxic Turtle.
Samer Hills is a game series that does not take itself too seriously and is inspired by shows like Goosebumps, courage the cowardly dog, and other cartoons. And that's how I'm approaching Samer Hills. As if it's a cartoon series. Samer Khatib is a cartoon character.
Gamings latest and most iconic new hero, Samer Khatib - Faces all the spooks and scares this fall season. Please stay tuned for more news updates and announcements in the coming days for more from Snowconesolid Productions! 🎃👻🍁🍂
And with that, this concludes the very first SAMER DIRECT. Thank you everyone for joining & taking an interest in my wacky projects. I'm very excited to finally be working on Samer Hills, a project that has been a dream of mine for years & finally, we are making it happen. 🎃🙏
