I did not understand the game at all, but loved it.

Bad Mojo is one of my favourite games of all time. I was playing it this afternoon and dug around the files a bit. I was able to extract the raw background images and palettes and get them open in photoshop. It's remarkable how well they hold up.

So far the game hasn't had a lot of NPCs. Friendly, quirky NPCs are a staple of adventure games. This is not that kind of game.

I'm just getting started on the next major environment in the game. This one's quite a bit more complex, making it navigable will take a minute.

This weekend I finished building a little tutorial to start the game. It's only 2 screens but introduces all the key concepts of to the player.

I'm getting really close to completing the golden path of this sequence in the game. Maybe I'll get to playtesting soon. 😅

Post a PERFECT album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana or Pearl Jam

Since both Garbage albums have been featured down thread.

I've mostly been showing off the snowy environment, but the hotel is another area in the game. It's just not as far along.

Back in 1999 I went to the Corel Linux launch event in Toronto. They gave me a copy on CD but not the fancy big box version. I’m amazed to have found this online, still sealed. Yes it comes with WordPerfect.

Had a bit of time today. I'm getting really close to a having a play-testable build. The content for this section is nearly complete.

If you see this, quote this post with a game you would instantly buy if it got remastered/remade!

Same game from a plot perspective but remade as a 3D fixed camera point and click game like Syberia. And a new likeness for the protagonist.

I have a bit of a busy period coming up, but here's what I've been working on lately, in motion. More to come in a few weeks.

I've added a VHS effect to my shader package, and uploaded it to itch! It's a simple red / blue channel offset but I think it looks pretty good.

Over the last few weeks I've been revisiting some ideas I explored in the winter.

I remade my custom retro post processing pass in URP! This version was built with Shader Graph and works as a Full Screen Pass Render Feature.

Please feel free to use however you'd like!

I got some new animations and wanted to fool around with animator override controllers, and happened to have some beach people. So it seemed like a natural progression.

I couldn't find a model of a 3.5 inch floppy disk to save my life, so I made one with ProBuilder, Photoshop, and textures from AmbientCG. Turned out pretty ok! Just for fun I made it a Doom Dark Ages shareware.

Last night I picked up a number of classic CD-ROM games including X-wing and some other adventures but this one is the real gem. Bad Mojo was one of the coolest adventure games I ever played back in the day.

A little bit more work on the infirmary today. I've added a bunch of hotspots and cleaned up the scene. It's coming along!

Tonight I'm working on an infirmary scene. Still needs quite a bit of work but it's a decent start.

I'm nothing if not a sucker for a TV you can watch in game. This is the Max Headroom signal hijacking of WTTW in 1987. Catch the wave!

I've been building out an apartment environment in this little dystopic distraction. I also swapped out the character model.
