"Clubby The Seal: Killing Season" gameplay demo

Not a full-blown sequel but kind of a side-game. Still pretty big and fun in it's own right.
The game is really easy to pick up and play. Only directional buttons are used, and varying attacks are all dependant on what direction you attack from. There's 3 powerups that make things real crazy, and even a new boss!

Oh and yes, the blood, guts, and corpses are PERMANENT, without slowing the gameplay at all.

Is it just me or with a few notable exceptions, are most flash games nowadays horribly boring and uninspired or what? What's even creepier is they aren't straight crap... they're technically excellent and well-put together. They're just something I would never spend any time playing. It's like the same faggotry that has befallen the larger game industry is now influencing the next generation of flash games. I blame it on the fact that most of the people making flash nowadays probably started playing games with the PS2... as opposed to guys like Tom who were in highschool when stuff like the Neo Geo was new...

It's like everyone has forgotten how to make a good game (i'll be the first one to admit I'm guilty of this as well). Fancy physics don't cut it kid. For all I know you lifted your pretentious physics engine from source. Make a good game dammit. It doesn't have to "push the bar" or be "innovative". It has to be fun. Thats why games exist. It's not a sports competition. It's not who's tech-cock is bigger. It's about making something that people will waste precious hours of their life on... and not regret it years later.

Thats my open statement to all of you out there: MAKE A GOOD GAME GODDAMN YOU

stop making flash games that are about as much fun as this:

So I was at my local Dept store today and saw none other than Blast Miner on the shelves in the computer game section. Pretty funny/surreal. Apparently a box version of the game is in stores all over Canada and alot of the US as of last month. (For those of you who don't know; I did all of the sound and alot of testing for the game)

In other news I'm packing and getting ready to fly from Vancouver to San Diego for Comic Con. I'm pretty f'n stoked about this, as this will be the first time I've shown up to an NG event ever. Plus it's Comic Con... all kinds of amazing stuff is sure to go down. I'm concocting the most effective ways to pester Tom and Co at their booth as we speak...

My good friend Peter Kapelyan (founder of Sess.net, one of the web's first and largest flash game portals... before all the AddictingHobbitcrazyfunnypenisflashgam es.com type sites...) along with the rest of his team at Away 3D are up for the Code award at Flash Forward in San Francisco.

And finally my kitchen sink is horribly clogged. Fun times with a coat hanger and a bucket ensue...
