New Game Keeping Me Busy! | June 4, 2011

by Joe

Sorry I’m late! :D

The game that I’m working now is keeping me pretty busy, but it’s moving along much nicer and smoother than The Pocalypse Defense (second time is always easier than the first time, eh?)! As you know, it’s not going to be The Pocalypse-related, but we will be needing your help before we release to the big game portals! I’ll fill you in when our new platformer is ready :D

In other news, thanks to a commenter for a past scene (HMan!), I’ve just realized that an irrational fear that I’ve had for years has a name: trypophobia.

According to Urban Dictionary, “Trypophobia is an intense fear of the following things, which results in an all-over itchy feeling and general uneasiness. Lotus seed pods, Crumpets, Pumice, Cavities in teeth, the Ampullae of Lorenzini in Sharks, Holes in concrete, Bug tunnels in wood, Enlarged pores of the skin, Aero Bars, Holes in walls caused by bullets, Bone marrow, Wasps’ nest, Honeycomb, Bubbles in Dough, Ant holes, Veins in meat, Clusters of holes.”

I always get goosebumps when I see a cluster of small holes in nature, especially in human skin. It just creeps the hell out of me. If I see a zombie with disease-induced holes in its skin, I’ll be running from the holes, not the undead cannibal :D Anybody else have this phobia?

Enjoy Scene 3 – “Sleeping with Doc”!

Please continue to vote! :D Bug’s sketch is still the incentive! Thank you for voting everyday!

You can follow The Pocalypse on Facebook (check out our paper doll pictures! Send me your own pics, too!), Twitter and RSS, too!

Have a great weekend!

@Eastar – Me too! However in the last couple of scene’s his voice tends to shift between Professor Hubert J Farnsworth and Quagmire ;)

@scavenger yes but the docs gun doesn’t seem to have the recoil of the noisy cricket(name of the m.i.b gun if i remember right), remember in the movie j was sent into a car behind him when he fired it. and i just noticed joe’s comment confirming the name of the gun, in other news i want an armory full of docs weaponry(most of them seem damn fun to me)

Dude, we have the same exact thing.

I always get goosebumps when I see a lot of holes on something, after which I get more goosebumps when I see my goosebumps because they kind of look like holes.

Never call Doc’s inventions failures… Unless he invented the lasergun while researching for the fountain of youth.

Technically, rule one would be violated if he drilled the floor because he;d be less than 5 foot (under) from the boxes…

The LFB is an improvement on the NC, because unlike the NC it does not have ridiculous recoil to match it’s ridiculous power.

OMG,I can’t believe,”Nobody is safe from LFB!”
I want one too!
One thing,why do we need a gun to help us in hot days,if someone spot Doc in a Summer day,that person would think that Doc wants to suicide…
Keep working!

Though I’m not going to lie Joe. Putting out that first game was a genius way to spread The Pocalypse! I would never have known about this site if I didn’t play flash games in between classes

Angry dude pointing LFB at Iron Man’s head: DIE IRON MAN!
Iron Man: Haha you can’t kill me with that.

Weather Woman: BREAKING NEWS! We have spotted Iron Man’s head flying over the Arctic at 100 miles per hour, and it doesn’t seem like it’s gonna stop for another few years! There seems to be a huge dent in his head!

Blood spatter left.
Jaws drop down.
Eyebrows shoot up.
Think;”Holy CRAP!!!
Say; “I’ll never doubt your inventions again.”

[By the way, did anyone notice that the gun not only blew up the zombie that was running, but also the zombie shot by Jake?]
