Sorry I haven’t been updating you all on The Pocalypse Defense 2 progress as much I should have!
The game will feature a huge explorable map, including New Hammerston, a few machine cities, some mutant strongholds, some plant territories, and a few small colonies. Not to mention the rest of the city! :D So, I’ve working on that map for some time now (and throw in making The Pocalypse scenes)! I’m hoping that I’ll finish it soon so that I can move on to units, NPCs, and the perks that I owe all of our awesome funders :D
That’s what’s been happening with art! On the programming end, Rich has been working on an amazing tool that makes putting the art and game together easy enough for even an artist like me to understand :D This tool (which is called the Grand Unifying Tool, or GUT :D) will also help us with future games!
We’re headed to Project Play in London, Ontario on September 16. We hope to have a very small demo of TPD2 ready for visitors to play and we’ll also be giving Mutant Tier (and higher) funders a chance to play it too :D If you’re in the area, please say hello!
I’ll be updating you more as I finish the game’s map. The map is by far the biggest single hurdle in the entire art list so it’ll be a HUGE load off my shoulders once I finish it :D Again, we don’t have a final release date but we’re aiming for December! Thank you again for waiting! If you have any questions, please ask!
Enjoy Scene 30 – “Couldn’t Save Them”!
Back to school! :D Who can you find in this Hammerston school lot? Vote to see! Please vote for The Pocalypse here everyday! I’m going to try coming up with a new incentive every update (or every few updates) :D Thank you for voting!
Bernie, you have a little something on your face.
@Nivella – Haha! I really did laugh out loud when I read that :D
DON’T KILL BERNIE!!! I love him!!!
Was that a face hugger?
i think that is like one of those plant bombs but it seems it have something in it like energy?anyways HOW COULD YOU SCRUFFLE BECK BE LOVED YOU AND YOU REPAY US KILLING BERNIE AND I THINKED YOU WERE DIFFERENT YOU ARE JUST AS COLD AS THE ELDER!
@Nivella – *slowclap*
or Scrufflebeck is doing what the elder vampire once mentioned, about the ever crazy balance of robots mutants zombies plants n humans
perhaps that plant thing will be kinda like a symbiotic type thing? I’m thinking it’s gonna give some sorta way for plants\people to communicate now
I mean for crying out loud they got plant puppies! it’s like Eureka 7 all over again! :D
I sense a human plant alliance coming soon, or at the very least an understanding between a plant faction/species/whatever and the humans after Scrufflebeck had them intercept the missile.
Scrufflebeck, why is this spider-plant licking my face? Do spiders even have tongues? Why is it’s tongue turning red? Is that my blood? Is that a vampire-plant?! feeling… whoozie…
*faints*
ive seen enough hentai to know where this is going…
i knew something was off about that bomb, since I don’t remember the other ones earlier having that thing in the center.
Next episode: Bernie connects to the plant hive mind.
Don’t panic, probably just a mindlink so the plant can talk to him. XD
I’ve noticed that there’s a little green burst when the vine reaches Bernie, so I’m wondering what it is. It seems to be a link-up to Bernie, but I can’t say.
I really don’t think Bernie is being hurt. It could CHANGE Bernie, but I don’t think it’ll kill him, or even maim him. I’ll admit it would be a sudden surprise if Joe did pull that, but the timing seems wrong. Especially since we know Scrufflebeck likes Bernie, loves Joe, and cares about people in general. We saw how he reacted when the good doctor was in trouble (when he ran into that mutant dog), so I don’t think Bernie has anything to worry about. Scrufflebeck wouldn’t let anything happen.
i think that plant-bomb thingy is like a mesanger for the king/quuen plant ant its giving barnie some sort of mesage ir maibe gives him like some sort of badge from the plants for peace and shoot it at his head because it was at it level because scrufelbeck wont harm barnie or any human
@mesanger from@
what did scrufflebeck do
Scrufflebeck whausydfgbsdubf
please dont go alien on us (alien vs predator i think ya know what i mean)
or this isn’t scrufflebeck. DUNDUN DUUUUN
My theory, Scruff and friends intercepted the missile. And they’re informing them how they did it.
Man, Joe is a total dick. No one’s selfish like him.
I liked so much this episode and the explanation on how machines think. Joe had my same questions about that :)
BTW, I liked so much Joe in the past, but now he’s a very dick. Reading this episode i hoped for the one into the mutant (can’t remember the name) to claim Joe’s body once and for all.
I dini think that the creature is going to convert bernie. Scrufflebeck is very loyal to his friends and allowing such a thing isn’t going to end up negative. Must be a communicator thing like the Gravemind so that the dog and bernie can speak. a guess, not a spoiler. :/
You know you can do that whole Darth Vader NNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!! thing while still in armor. *SMH*
Also I’ve never liked Joe as a person but we’re 7 chapters in and he has barely grown at all. Freaking Rosa has had more development then him and she’s barely been in this. Mysterious powers or no I’m really losing my cool with him.
NO! NOT BERNIE! WHY? WHY?? WHY!!!!!??????? Can you make a new character after me? :D
*Link established… Uploading ponies*
I knew he would turn on them eventually. Unless he’s helping somehow. I gotta admit though, getting stabbed in the face by a plant wire would HURT.
I was going to be at Project Play but its my parents anniversary so sad right now :(
What Anon said.
maybe Bernie will transform into a plant?
Wow… suspense… Joe’s a dick… overall great chapter… as usual… I… think that… something important… is about to happen… dot dot dot…
weird plant tentacles. maybe they evolved and found out a way to communicate with humans.
NOT A BANELING, NOT A BANELING AT ALL. Whyyyyy Bernie?! That Arbiter is there to protect you from shit exactly like this! Come on, man!
*facepalm* bernie forgot rule one of the pocalypse: never leave your suit until your REALLY safe
Come on guys scruff wouldn’t do anything to them without having good intentions!!!
i think this thing upgrade bernie with bio-plant suit :D
