HOLY MACORONI'S IN THE MICROWAVE PLUGGED WITH A POTATO! I DIDN'T EXPECT IT'S ALMOST A YEAR SINCE THE LAST REPORT. SORRY FOR THE SILENCE GUYS!

INTRODUCTION

but in all seriousness, hi. (no proper grammerz!!!), im writing this report rn just to know that the game isn't dead. hooray...i wanted to keep all of the stuff revealed and hidden at the same time because i don't want to spoil anything. i know it's been 2 years, but it doesn't mean it's cancelled easily. i don't want to give up with smth that's trying to make it look like passion.

again, im going to get the serious stuff out of the way first, because they're important for you readers. after that, scroll down more and you'll find fun stuff that's interesting!

GETTING STUFF OUT OF THE WAY (/SRS) P.S. DEVELOPMENT HELL AGAIN

i've been busy with a lot of stuff recently, which causes me to be demotivated or miss out on this project. i mean, it helps with my health, but im afraid that people will complain about the project being "dead". i don't want to get into further details because i feel uncomfortable saying them out loud to you people.

some team members just don't feel motivated or just into different things, which is normal. people moved on with different interests and they're right. for me, i just wanted to keep sunky's spirit up. i don't like being criticized by people who want me to move on because im just trying to enjoy what i like. sometimes, my passion becomes obsession, and i wanted to fix that by doing other stuff for a bit because it helps with my health. and it helps with yours too.

i closed the old gc and made a new one for people who are actually interested in the project. i just don't like cancelling and i think that there's still hope if i think positive. i like doing stuff i like. there's nobody stopping or preventing me from it. like joedoughboi said:

"CREATING A GAME TAKES TIME"

right now, i tried getting stuff done quickly because i realized i can do ANYTHING. some of my friends (AG, SLIMA, EY, and HIPPO) including 2 people who are trying to help (DUET and JIMMY) supported me. if you're reading this (for the people i mentioned), thanks for the support.

SOME SELF TAUGHT (ME...)

after egg left the team, i tried practicing/learning programming. it's still bad in my opinion. trust me, i tried THIS...

RAINING JACY PLUSHIES. falling out of the sky.

.

i'm not a professional programmer yet, im trying to program just to continue development easily. GML isn't that bad for me actually, it's just that i have to use my eyes trying to understand how the code flippin' works...sometimes frustration becomes an example of something you should avoid and fix.

when i show it to others, they think it's good. i just copied egg's code and test out the variables on how they work. again, i'm not a good intelligent programmer. it's just that im trying to learn it, that's all. in the future, i'll probably get better, but for now, this is all you're going to see, haha!

.

.

.

actually no, i have more stuff to show which is... this. i like adding little details to the game, it's fun that i'm trying to have fun doing what i like. it doesn't matter it's a job, i'm just trying to enjoy myself.

MY CHICKEN FULLY CODED IN SO I CAN EAT IT

.

i kind of wanting to add stuff in the build, but i couldn't, due to how slow gamemaker 8 is. my place to keep that new content is from seperate gmk files (a project file for gamemaker) just for testing purposes. after that, it'll be imported to the main game. that's the way of saving time from just loading the goddamn main build. hehe! :>

also, im in a dev team of another game and my role is programmer/coder, since i'm trying to improve my coding skills, i think my role would slowly fit on me because im a sole developer on games.

this is the game in question, called Shodaku:

it has the "kind of" sunky artstyle. and it's like a arcade style game??? the previous programmers are pizza tower ones so...idk how to explain it.

ART BY the creator of the game, spongybrain

.

"Hello Game Jolt it's yours truly. I'm happy to be able to work with Jacy on Shōdaku. I've always loved PC Port so it feels like a dream come true to be able to work with them. Best of luck to everyone working on the project!"

NEW CONTENT

now, we're going to see real magic! (not disney, screw you) let me get the stUUAAAAAAAAAAAA-OOF...

OH UH...sorry cara! (one of the testers). i didn't mean to ruin your ice cream treat. you can have my 500 sunkdollars for another! no worries!

anyways, i have some stuff that i'll show to you guys! just note that it's nothing big or small, and i'm just working alone complaining about why it's dying. but i matured enough that i feel good now!

CREM LAUGHING FOR NO REASON AT ALL

JACY COMMENTARY: i kind of wanted to get her looping laugh animation feel like it's from homestuck. which is one of looneydude's interests. hussie typing on the keyboard would be a good example:

look at him go crazy as a hamster! i was trying get into homestuck but i got too busy. atleast i watch the LETS-READ videos from NEXUS. sometimes, listening to audiobooks are better than reading with a picture. haha! :>

.

CONCEPT ART OF A LEVEL, DON'T QUESTION

JACY COMMENTARY: the math stuff is just me caculating how much width and height the room will be. it's part of planning stuff so i won't waste time altering stuff that already existed.

.

COPYRIGHT OPTION

JACY COMMENTARY: since youtubers are going to play this game SOONISH, zak suggested me to add a copyright filter. it's kind of a good idea because we don't want to ruin youtubers lives lol.

.

SPRITE IMPROVEMENT

JACY COMMENTARY: idk what to say,

.

.

.

i didn't give you progress on reeler yet, because i was busy with the level im currently doing and trying to finish it. so, here's this just to show that i still care about reeler. i kind of wanted the environment to be a bit of realism and everything feeling like it's abandoned and relaxing.

joe's mockup of the "TAILS GOT LAZY TRYING TO BE IN-CONTROL" level is kind of unique to be honest. the red sky made me inspired for some reason. even though my game is a parody, i like to have environments like these SOMETIMES.

.

REELER

JACY COMMENTARY: this is outdated. it's made this-year, rip. but I'll try smth better sometime when i get a chance to do it. i wanted the feel of it like it's a red sunset with messy grass fields.i just love the environment of SONIC-PC/joedoughboi's stuff. literally, it's creative.

.

UNRELATED STUFF

some stuff i did unrelated to the new content to the game.

EVE "REEPER" (Character by Marshadoo)

JACY COMMENTARY: deltarune wind-like animationas reference. sorry guys, i'm unoriginal.

.

SUNKY

JACY COMMENTARY: Sunky.

.

MY TAKE ON SUNKIFIED 2017X

JACY COMMENTARY: sometimes, i was kind of thinking of taking sunky's parody charm a different direction, like instead of being funny, he mocks what's already gone, aka the community. he's still "funny", but he's literally mean lol. i don't want to go TOO far with it though, since it'll make people take it seriously. idk what i will say to this concept. this sunky compared to sunky.mpeg aren't the same person literally. it's a combination of robotnik's view of sunky and "modern" sunky...

.

CONCLUSION

there's no conclusion at all. im going to warn you, if i keeP TYPING I WILL EXPLOD-

sorry, sorry. i didn't mean to scare you. :>

so uh, yeah, that's all there is to the report! there's nothing major or smth going on, i like stuff secret! like the secret formula plankton tries to steal. again, sorry if there's a lack of stuff related to the project, i just don't feel like adding new stuff to the build yet, GAMEMAKER 8's lag is going to kill me...

i kind of promised that i'll study ren and stimpy's artstyle and other stuff, but i broke my promise because i was busy lol. im all an artist, animator, programmer, sound designer, and not music. i lost my music talent months ago. i have to schedule stuff next time in the future...sorry for the crappy words i say out of my mind.

FAREWELL

for now, have this comic issue if you guys aren't in some discod server! i'll call this issue: 0. there's no title for this comic of a series.

cya!
