Hey,

I am interested in teaming up for a VN in the TyranoBuilder engine for PC, iOS, and Android. I have the story finished and some character mockups in pixel art. I also have a list of needed 2d assets. I'll link the story and asset list and post some of my character mockups here.  If it looks like it's a project you are interested in, let me know.

Quick synopsis of the story:
Caleb and Jude, two boys from rural Texas, set out to escape their dead-end lives, but their journey takes a dangerous turn when Jude’s brother entangles them in criminal dealings. As they travel farther from home, Caleb begins to realize that leaving may not be as simple as they had hoped.

Some mockup art I've done. You can go any direction you like. These were made at the beginning of the month for a previous jam that I decided not to participate in.

That is the nicest comment I have ever received! I’m truly at a loss for words. Thank you so much! If you ever turn it into an audio play, I would love to hear it. I really can’t express how grateful I am for your kind words. Thank you again!

That's a tough problem, here is my idea I hope it helps. It combines both Deep Inside and the original title which I like very much.

"A Wish Deep Inside the Dark"

Or You could play with the font a little by either bolding and/ or capitalizing "Deep Inside" like "A Wish DEEP INSIDE the Dark." You could change the font for "Deep Inside" as well to highlight it and let people know it's still the game they love and know.

Thank you!

Keep up the hard work!

I really like your character design. It totally looks like a game I would enjoy playing!

Thank you, I'm glad you like it!

Thank you very much!

Hey, I like your kaiju entry. I did a kaiju for GB Pixel Art Jam too. I dig your style and I think we went with the same color palette too. Good luck with the jam.

Hello, 

I am happy to announce my new Game Boy game, Dr. Serizawa, which should be available by the end of this year. This game is a visual novel, focusing on storytelling depicting the tragic events of the original 1954 Godzilla movie from Dr. Serizawa's perspective. Below, I’ve included an art preview, giving you a first look at the graphics that bring my reinterpretation of the classic Godzilla tale to life.

Players will see the events from the perspective of Dr. Serizawa, a scientist developer of the Oxygen Destroyer, a weapon more powerful than a Hydrogen Bomb.

Game Features:

Story-driven Gameplay: The game will heavily focus on Serizawa's story.

Game Boy Pixel Art: Events from the movie will be retold using monochrome pixel art.

Perfect for Godzilla Fans: This game sticks closely to the original movie and includes additional details from the 1954 novelization.

Dr. Serizawa is such a tragic figure in Godzilla lore, and I want to give him a game that can tell his side of the story. I hope everyone will enjoy this game as much as I have enjoyed designing it. 

Thank you,

Cicada Human

it's all good, ill leave it for anyone that wants to snag a free copy.

Gigan has a really cool design. I think I am a Showa Gigan fan more than the Final Wars version. Thanks for commenting your favorite kaiju here is a free copy of my game.

Thank you for your comment. I really like Mothra in its larva form, especially in the first Mothra movie. Here's your free key. Feel free to leave any feedback or a rating.

Try this one. https://cicada-human.itch.io/kaiju-dont-care-about-you/download/1-51dZkd2wVo1XnV...

Was it the key that didn't work or the actual download?

I like Gamera too, that new animated series was great. Thanks for commenting your favorite kaiju, here's your free copy. itch.io/get-vcUUGs8EPyr

I forgot, here's your free key itch.io/get-QMLQZ5G5FYcL

I like Red King too, even for a kaiju he is extremely violent. I think Zetton from Shin Ultraman would make for a really interesting game idea. One of my favorites is Garamon. He made a cool reappearance on the new episode of Blazar recently.

Glad you played the game, thanks for the indepth feedback. The game can be played all the way through episode 12. 4/5 of my playtests ended up being wins. Make sure you are winning on ties, and not focusing on getting the kaiju to 0 HP. Kaiju can be killed with a Finishing Attack starting at 2HP.  Also you get a free attack when doing your Heroic Acts. But anyways thanks again for the detailed feedback.

I rated your game, thanks for the heads up

I couldn't get very far, but I liked the idea of trench warfare in a zombie game. Are the zombies kaiju or just monsters? Increasing the character movement, might help me get to the otherside of the map to kill an zombie that is about to end the game. Every time i lost, I had to close out the game completely then restart it to try again. Overall I enjoyed it, wish I could have gotten to the later levels.

I ended up getting around it thanks to tabletop sim. they have a tarot card mod in the workshop.

I didn't even know Primetime Adventures existed! Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate you pointing out an area where you didn't understand. Now I have to go buy and play Primetime Adventures.

Hey I wanna play your game, but don't have any tarrot cards. is there a good sub or some digital version that is free?

i was up to the 31st or 32nd level, but had to get up to get the door. Couldn't find a pause button either, and when i returned I was dead. not quite sure what got me. audio and sound effects were really low, barely could hear them and couldn't find any settings. Last thing is, I was confused on how the tower upgrades work. It prompts me to click a tower to sacrifice, but it only works randomly, or am I misunderstanding something? Overall I enjoyed it, the visuals were the best part of the game. The T posing boss was my favorite, I know it is a bug, but it was cool to see a T posing kaiju. 

I enjoyed this game, I think it also has a lot of potential. Something akin to godzilla's atomic breath would have been very cool. Hope you continue to work on this project. Sorry to hear about the crazy tornados. I know they get pretty scary.

My computer is flagging your download as a virus. Is there a browser version of the game?

Yup yup yup, thanks for posting a link.

Like the title says, it has been 7 business days, and I still don't see my game in the searches. I've sent a email to support, and since Friday is tomorrow, meaning the last business day of the week. I'm posting my issue here, in the hope that I can get my game up before the Friday sale.

The successful kickstarter that got it funded and released: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kaijudontcare/kaiju-dont-care-about-you-sol...

I put my game up on the 7th and it is still not indexed. I hope yours doesn't take as long as mine is taking. Sent a email to support yesterday, but still haven't heard back.

snagged the male, thank you. they look great!

I know disaster games have not so pleasant themes, but I do enjoy them very much. There's something about a natural disaster's indiscriminate way of devastation that is far more horrifying than anything like ghosts and demons. Looking forward to playing this soon.

that's cool, and great job. currently tangling with a vn on gb studios myself, thanks for the tips! 

how do you display the large images without breaking the 192 unique tile limit?

That was really good, great pixel art, sad, but really really good.

Post your game's url below, and I can give you a link to post it in the game jam.

Deadline isn't going to be strict, and yeah you can do that.  Thanks for joining too, I appreciate it.

2 days until submission, and I just now see this game jam. I hate that I missed this, hopefully it will be held again!

heeey, sorry for making you wait. I'm working on your feedback, just had a crazy holiday and forgot about some gaming stuff. Hopefully you are still around, and again sorry about making you wait.
