O Captain Post-Jam Progress

This week has been focused on improving O Captain and then trying to bring it back to 100% demo functionality in order to share a Post-Jam version.

Improvements have gone well, we now have a separate interior and exterior world with portals between them (as explained in previous blogpost) and I've snazzified the ship interior and exterior with AssetForge.

Functionality is coming back online slowly, but there are a handful of things that don't work immediately with the new portal tech, so I'm hoping to wrap things up on Monday.

In the meantime, enjoy this gif of the new interior and a picture of the exterior.

Is Me!

My name is James, but you most likely know me as Flan, creator of Flan's Mod and programmer on TerraTech. I've been modding, jamming and coding professionally for a long time now, with Flan's Mod entering its 10th year at the end of this month. I even took a year out to make Minimancer, which you can find on Steam, and to try my hand at the world of boardgames. I'm doing something new and exciting this year! As of March, I will be splitting my time between TerraTech and some incredibly exciting digital and board game projects. More information will be coming soon on each project, with this blog and my new Discord server being the place to find out about new announcements. But for now, a quick summary is in order. Codename "Tea for Two" - A party card game, coming to Kickstarter in May Beet-Hoven Post-Jam - The follow up to Beet-Hoven, my most recent digital jam game Unity Tool Jams - Terrain generators, dialogue systems and other bits to form a shared

Something's Brewing in the Tentacle Zone

Whoa, I'm actually here. My role at Payload is now part-time and I'm in the Tentacle Zone (Payload's awesome co-working space in London) two days a week. Let's hit the ground running with an announcement! I've mentioned a card game previously, with the codename "Tea for Two", but I can now officially announce the main thing that I will be working on over the next few months; Coffee Chaos! Coffee Chaos has you and your friends   new-found enemies battle it out to collect ingredients and equipment to serve customers a wide variety of beverages. All the while, your friends arch-nemeses can play actions to steal your kit and trick your customers. For 3-8 players and focusing on 30 minute rapid-fire gameplay, it will be coming to Kickstarter at the end of May. Expect more frequent blog posts from now on, in a mix of Coffee Chaos news, Flan's Mod updates and jams (I'm currently doing the Tentacle Zone's Autistica Jam ) And if you want

Ludum Dare 46 - O Captain! My Captain!

Image
Last weekend was Ludum Dare weekend and so I was busy making a game once again. Ludum Dare is one of the world's biggest game jams that now runs twice a year and which I have been taking part in for the past 8 years or so.  We had a great theme this year of "Keep It Alive". I'd had an idea in the back of my mind for a while about making a space pirate game and decided to have a go at it, with the ship being your sentient AI friend you have to keep alive. Judging by the other entries, I don't think I was alone in taking an idea and adapting it to the theme; there is such a wide variety of entries this time around! So the game that I made, with my partner Lucy doing the voice-acting and some of the VR modelling, is called "O Captain! My Captain!" and features you and RobinOS flying around a (very small) asteroid belt completing missions. Please give it a go and let me know if you like it! If you entered a game into the jam too, let me k
