World O' Ears


Well, the game has been out for a while now! Many thanks to anyone who left thoughts or art and apologies if I haven't responded much the last few days. I've been stuck in bed this whole week due to the dreaded covid 19. Will these feverish feelings translate to new horror games...?? Maybe not, I've mostly been either asleep or watching old episodes of The Larry Sanders Show the whole time.

Anyway here are some sketches for the game. It took me a while to figure out what anyone should look like, although Blue D Hans & His Night Stranglers make a brief appearance in the burnt-down record store from "Blood Of The Killer". The Weepster in particular took a while to get down. I think his final appearance was vaguely based on Edgar Allen Poe.

Lastly, here are some songs I was listening to as I worked on the game, some of which made it in as dumb joke references for my own amusement. Note that "Who Put The Bomp" and "Shape Of Things To Come" are both Barry Mann classics (what did he know??) and that "Haunted Castle" was the Kingsmen's b-side to "Louie Louie". Truly, novelty horror-themed surf rock has been with us from the start.

  1. Barry Mann - Who Put The Bomp (In The Bomp, Bomp, Bomp)?

  2. The Kingsmen - Haunted Castle

  3. The Music Machine - Bottom Of The Soul

  4. Dracula's Greatest Hits - I Want To Bite Your Hand

  5. The Spike Drivers - Strange Mysterious Sound

  6. Cosmic Sounds Of The Zodiac - Aries

  7. Burgundy Runn - Stop!

  8. Max Frost & The Troopers - The Shape Of Things To Come

  9. The Monkees - Steppin' Stone

  10. Benny Spellman - Lipstick Traces

I'm very tickled! To celebrate here is a picture of the new, upcoming 4k remaster version of the series I mocked up for the speech (estimated release date 2094) (kidding) (humour)

still playing with my 3d jumpers project, found an even more time consuming way of making tiles, which i don't wanna get too sucked into but i did quite like the effect it had here

A commission for my friend
