That is Potato Man... Potato Thriller January Update



     So many new features and changes in my upcoming game "Potato Thriller" yet so few updates here on the blog! As always, I will start today's blog post off the same way I usually tend to start off my blog posts and that is often by me apologizing for the lack of updates. Yes. Sorry about the lack of updates here on the blog. I am definitely not updating as often as I want to.

I have been working on my new game "Potato Thriller" almost on a daily basis in my free time whenever I get a chance to do so. It is getting kind of ridiculous. This originally started out as a small game back in October. The game has since of course became a lot bigger now with more levels, more features, and an actual storyline. I even recently added a simple auto save feature to the game because it would just be annoying to have the player restart all the way from the start each time they booted up the game. A save feature. It sounds like a feature that is just suppose to be in the game regardless. Like that is just a feature that you should always have in any game. The reason I am making it sound like a big deal is because like I said earlier, this game originally started out as a really simple, short, one level game that could be completed in maybe ten minuets or so. A save feature was never needed. Now since the game has grown to be much bigger it definitely is a necessary feature.

Anyway, I don't want to ramble too much in this blog post. This blog post is just a small update to let everyone know that I am still working on Potato Thriller. I wanted to do a vlog earlier but never got around to that. I seriously need to start doing more youtube updates. I want to. I will try to get a video update out later on.

Quick Rundown of things:
     Potato Thriller has expanded so much since my last blog post. It will probably be my biggest game yet (in terms of size, amount of levels, etc) I have decided that I will post this up later on to Steam and try to get it greenlit. I will do this probably sometime before the end of this month. Hopefully sometime next week? That is the deadline I will try to shoot for. Still no exact estimated finish date for Potato Thriller as there is still so many other things I am currently adding to it and still want to add to it. There is a lot to this game. I don't want it to be just another unity first person game where you walk around with a flashlight and wait for a jumpscare to happen. Although the game seems like it is very weird (and it is turning out to be a very strange game) I am trying to do more with it.

That is Potato Man
     The character in the screenshot posted above in this blog post is Potato man by the way. I never showed potato man before. Potato man is one of the main villains in Potato Thriller that you will encounter throughout  Potato Thriller.

There is nothing to see?
     I have been posting about this game for a while now here on the blog. I have pages for it set up over at indiedb and gamejolt. I am now even saying that I want to put it up on steam later on. However, very little is known about this game. I have shared very little information. I only have a few screenshots up and about a 1 minuet trailer which also barley shows anything. I am trying to show as little as possible for this game. The current screenshots and trailer are really almost nothing from the actual game.

Thanks for reading. More updates coming soon.

Expanding PT. First game for 2016. Steam?


     Been working on finishing up my upcoming horror game "Potato Thriller". A game I have been talking about for a while now here on the blog. A game I have been developing on and off in my free time since October. In my previous blog posts and I think in my YouTube vlog update I kept saying that I planned on having this game out for sure before the end of this year. Before the end of 2015.

As you can see by the title of this post. That is going to change.




     I guess this is both a bad thing and a good thing. (More like a who cares thing actually). Anyway, as I continue to develop this game and wrap things up, I feel like this game has more potential then what it started off as. I actually want to continue to expand this game and add more to it as well and polish it up more until I am satisfied with it. So I just wanted to post this update to say that I will not have Potato Thriller finished and released by the end of 2015 like I promised. Instead, this will be my first game release for 2016. Early 2016. I have actually already added a lot more new things to Potato Thriller since my last blog update. More updates coming soon.


     Steam?
     For a while now I have been planning on getting into steam as a developer. I actually recently just got a steam account. To be honest, I was never much of a pc gamer but mostly a console gamer. But there are a lot of great games that are pc only, especially indie games. Steam is a very popular platform obviously and they have a lot of cool stuff on there. I feel like I am missing out sometimes. So as I just said, I have finally got my own steam account. I recently purchased Resident Evil Revilations 2 on there. Unfortunately my laptop is kinda weak sauce and could not run it all that good. Anyway, back on topic. I was thinking of maybe putting "Potato Thriller" up on steam and trying to get it greenlit? I don't really know yet. Do you guys want to see it up on steam maybe? I'm kinda nervous actually about this decision since I don't really know how people will react towards Potato Thriller. It's a pretty weird game even for my standards. I don't know yet. I think I will take a chance, throw it on steam and see how things go. If it gets geenlit awesome. If not, then its not the end of the world. More updates on this later on I guess.

Youtube Updates? 
 As for my YouTube channel, I do want to continue to be more active there (even though I only put up 1 vlog update since my last blog post) I have been busy with my real life job and working on Potato Thriller on the side. A person can only do so much in a day. I actually, did record a new vlog update almost a week ago. I never got to editing that. I prob will not get that one out now anyway. I had a new vlog about my game but things have changed since then. So, I will prob record a different updated vlog later on. Also, like I said previously. I want to start doing lets plays of some indie games. I will definitely get into that. I recorded my first lets play not to long ago. I need to get that edited and then I should have it up soon on my channel.

Anyway, just wanted to post this blog update. Talk about whats going on. This might be my last blog post for 2015. Maybe. I don't know. Maybe not. I don't know about a lot of things yet. If it is, I hope everyone has a happy new year and I will see you in 2016! :D

More coming soon! Stay tuna!

     Introducing P.T - "Potato Thriller". Here is the trailer for my upcoming Silent Hills P.T inspired horror game that I will be releasing sometime this month. The game is almost finished and I am really excited to get it out soon. The trailer shows almost nothing from the game. I don't want to ruin the surprises.

I will post updates in this post later on. Currently working on getting the game setup over at gamejolt.com and indiedb.com. More updates soon!

Heres that YouTube update I promised :)



I have been working hard over the past couple days cleaning up my YouTube channel. Getting it more organized and making it look cool. I updated almost everything on my channel and am happy with how much I have changed with it. 

My new YouTube icon I designed:

"You see this? Diamond Dogs... Our new home..." -MGSV

Randomly decided to make a Metal Gear Solid V reference just now for some reason. But that is how I felt when I was re-designing my YouTube stuff, getting it more organized and to look more like how I want it to look. Its a great feeling actually. :D


And the my new YouTube Banner. I think I spent too much time working on this one. But very happy with the results.


Check out and Subscribe to my updated fancy pants YouTube channel today!


It's a really exciting time and I am really happy. I really look forward to sharing my YouTube adventures and posting a bunch of new content. I have so much planned. More videos and blog updates will be coming soon. More information and a trailer for my new horror game coming up later in the coming days.  Thank you everybody once again for staying with me and checking out all my stuff over the past couple years. It means so much to me. I really enjoy creating and sharing new content with everyone. :)

More updates coming soon! Thanks for reading.
