Finally got around to drawing these two characters from “Different and Cool: Extracurricular.” I’d like to use them in other stories, if I have the opportunity.
Different and Cool: Extracurricular
A new story in the Different and Cool series is up on RISANF.COM, titled “Extracurricular.” Featuring Lydia Marquise, Tarah’s rival who first appeared in “Love’s a Polygon” over 18 years ago, she is making a long-overdue comeback. Check it out in the Original section.
Moonlighers: Version 1.1.0
The latest version of my game, Moonlighters, has just been released on GameJolt! Version 1.1.0 adds new artwork for the cutscenes, and makes all four characters (Andy, Tarah, Clark, and Moses) available at the onset. I’ve also added a new animation for the Credits screen, which you can see below.
Moonlighters Released!
Today marks the official release of Moonlighters at GameJolt! After almost 4 years, it’s hard to believe I’ve seen this project all the way to the end. There’s a lot more work to be done trying to promote the game, but I can rest a little now that the core task is done. Regardless of whether the game is successful or not, in my heart, the satisfaction of finishing it is worth its weight in gold.
Update: Alternate Andy
I’ve added a special alternate costume for Andy in the Moonlighters game. This is “Alternate Andy,” a sort of 90s edgelord look for Andy. Inspirations include Sephiroth for the shoulder armor, and also a character I dimly remember from a Gunsmith Cats trailer. I think I need to stop adding content to the game, otherwise I’ll never get done!
Update: Professor Clark and Moses Champion
I’ve added two more pictures of characters from my Moonlighters game. Prof. Clark and Moses are “secret characters” to be accessed in the game through a hidden code. The game itself is on the verge of being completed, after over three years of off-and-on work. Now, I just have to decide what website I’m going to post it on, and if I’m going to charge for it.
Moonlighters Version 25.0
MAJOR update for the Moonlighters game! Version 25.0 offers two levels, four playable characters, a new shop system, and a host of other fixes. For instance, Andy has been given a buff; his attack speed is 20% faster now. Check it out at the Original section.
UPDATE 11-11-20: Changed version to 26.0. Hit detection bugs have been addressed, and an additional edit was given to Tarah’s ranged attack.
Artist's Retreat
About two weeks ago, I took a trip to my uncle’s cabin for a weekend vacation. Cut off from the internet and the outside world, I decided to take the opportunity to make some new sketches. I’ve just now finished the colored versions of the pictures, so there’s a plethora of new artwork in the Original section. Also, I have finished a new version of my 2010 story series, Rematch!, so check that out too if you will.
Moonlighters Update - Version 10.0
Tired of the never-ending bad news about the virus? Then why not play a game while you hunker down? Moonlighters has been updated to Version 10.0, and includes graphical and gameplay improvements. Plus, you can unlock a third playable character once you complete the demo. Check it out!
Moonlighters Update - Version 7.0
Last night, I uploaded Ver 7.0 of my “Moonlighters” game. Tarah Reichardt is now playable, with her own unique strengths and weaknesses. I also added “Install Programs” for the games, in case users don’t trust the EXE file. But the Install program is also an EXE file…? Hmm… O_o;
Moonlighters DEMO!
I’ve finally posted the demo for the videogame I’ve been working on for the past half-year! It’s called “Moonlighters,” and it’s a spin-off of “Different and Cool” that takes place 7 years later. As Andrew Champion, work your way to the end of the stage while fighting off the Mr. Blobs, R.E.M.s, and Claw Eyes that infest the area. It’s still a very rough demo, but I’ve ensured that it’s fun, so please check it out if you’re interested.
Different and Cool - Over Coffee and Cake
Added a short extra chapter to Different and Cool, showing what happened when Aunt Mary came to pick up Andy from Tarah’s house. After 10+ years of writing D&C, I’ve just about gotten to the point where I can write about any character adequately. This extra bit is mainly here to balance out the two original D&C stories (DIfferent and Cool, Different and Cool: Love’s a Polygon) so that both of them have a bonus chapter. I’m also posting the entire series as one story at Archive of Our Own, so I needed to have this chapter in place before I continue posting chapters.
Story Summaries
Decided to port some of the FictionPress/FanFiction.Net story summaries over to this site. Originally, the Original Works section and the KND section didn’t have summaries to avoid spoiling the story, but I decided that summaries would be more tantalizing to the reader, if I ever get anybody to come to this site. I’m still messing around with the formatting of the text to get it to look as appealing as possible. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get some more feedback soon.
