And so it begins...

Greetings minion to my humble blog! Having sat in a darkened room for many an hour feeling layers of brain matter peel away as I sit doodling in Photoshop, I feel it's time to give myself a (gentle) boot to the mass that I call an arse and get this ball rolling.

I am currently in the first stages of throwing together a game. A game called Heck. Initially it was to be something done in full 3D using Studio Max but as time went on and patience wore thinner I've decided to go ahead and make it in Adventure Game Studio- a fantastic little program that helps us mortals create games in the vein of the classic point and click adventures from many, many... many moons ago. As more of a 2D/painty kind of a guy this appeals to me a lot more- and in my personal opionion, as a guy who's been gaming 25+ years, there's something about those old games and their chunky graphics that a lot of modern games lack. No, not shitness. Don't be rude. 

Anyway, the game will be written, designed, drawn and animated by yours truly as well as a friend of mine- so it's going to be an insane amount of work but I also expect it to be fun too. Otherwise I wouldn't do it. As General Stars and Stripes said in Kick Ass 2, "We try to have fun. Otherwise- what's the point?" Taking inspiration from the old Lucas Arts and Sierra games of the past we're hoping to create something that will... err... Kick Ass... too.

So... here is Stan. Ruler of the totally original and totally unique world of Heck! Or at least he was...

Until the flow of Souls into Heck started drying up - putting the Ferryman out of business too I might add. Now Stan finds himself in a demeaning job he can't stand, being pushed around and looked down upon by everyone around him. To be fair, he is pretty short though.
The player will take control of Stan as he finally decides to escape Heck to find out what's happened. Along the way he'll meet weird and wonderful characters and visit weirder and wonderful-er worlds.

Expect wit, randomness with a subtle blend of over the top violence. Yum.
