Post-Shrimp + Mid-April 2025 Update

Pistol Shrimp

(Click the gif or click here to play the game)

I played GRAPPLESHOT recently and it's such a fun game that I wanted to make mine own small shooter game. I've had this idea for a while, shrimps have been one of my favorite animals forever and I made this little mock up a while back.

Originally the game was going to be a run and gun but decided to go with the top down so I had something to release for this month. I also wanted to make another project with a mixed media art style.

I wanted to add different weapons such as a Shotgun but I ran into some complications, perhaps I can add them later.

Huge thank you to @Octopus9000 for beta testing this game and all other games for the past and future, he has been a LIFESAVER and the games would genuinely be nothing without his help GO CHECK HIM OUT!!!

Mid-April 2025 Update

It was my buddy @awesomeROXAS birthday this past month and we had a grand old time at our nearby Round 1. I've also started the process of moving into a new place, hoping to get out by June. The last cold front just hit here as I'm writing this and I can't wait for some damn warm weather

Upcoming

May Game, My May game is also going to be a small game so that I can focus on my other upcoming projects. Here's a quaint little mockup

Low Poly Day, the Mellow Minds team is working on a quaint little low poly game for the occasion

Other, I've got a game coming out for newgrounds day and Halloween Spooktacular. Ive also got many other small games releasing throughout the months. Hope you like all the games :)

Seeya Next Month

Post-Monkey + 5 Year Newgrounds Anniversary + 300 fans + Mid-March 2025 Update

Monkey Business

(Click here to play the game)

I have been addicted to tycoon/idle clicker games ever since I was very young, I played a shit ton of them on Roblox with my brothers. When I was in school I had a bunch of them on my phone, my 2 favs being Egg inc. and AdVenture Capitalist. Nowadays me and @MightyOreo131 spend hours playing shitty tycoons on fortnite. Originally the game was supposed to be a tycoon of a theme park based off of me but I didn't end up going that direction. AND THEN the game was SUPPOSED to be themed after different restaurants but that wasnt very fun so i ended up going with a monkey theme last second. This is also the first game I've programmed that actually saves your progress, I might add that to some of my other old games. There were some cut restaurants from the game, mostly they were cut because I didn't like them or I came up with an idea that I liked more. I will share more in progress screenshots and art later but here's some now :)

Newgrounds 5 Years

(A little late I know but) I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN 5 YEARS!!! I've been actively using Newgrounds since I was 16 but I've always visited several times throughout my youth, many Newgrounds game and cartoons were such big inspirations in my life. I brought it up in my 2 year anniversary post but Spewer was the reason I made my account, it still remains as one of my favorite games of all time. I've made sure to play the game at least once a year since I first played the game.

300 Fans!!!

WOW 300 FANS!!! I'd like to thank each and every one of you for following me. Newgrounds is and will continue to be one of my favorite websites and i hope to keep growing as I keep using it :) THX FOR 300!!!

Mid-March 2025 Update

Nothing much, I've spent a lot of time working and making games. It's still a little cold here but I'm hoping it warms up soon

Upcoming

April Game, I already have an idea for this game and it'll be SIGNIFICANTLY smaller than my most recent games. Something to give me a little break with

Pico Day game, even though there won't be a competition this year I'm still going to drop a game on Pico Day. It's a minigame that's related to a classic Pico Day cartoon and I hope folks luv it

Low Poly Day game, next months update will hopefully have a lot more details on this game as production begins to ramp up, hopefully I'll have a screenshot.

Halloween Spooktacular game, I'm going to be working on a game for the Halloween Spooktacular this year but that's 7 months away so I won't share anything until the date comes a little closer

Seeya Next Month!!!

I'll post another update next month and as always, I post all of my game dev screenshots and videos over on Instagram, Twitter, and Bluesky.

Triple Baka Popsicles

Their flavors would probably be yellow, sour cherry, and fruit punch

Eat a Peanut Butter and Jelly

(Click gif to play the game or click here)

I've always been a huge fan of cooking games like cooking mama and papa's pizzeria so I wanted to try my hand at making one. Eat a Peanut Butter and Jelly is my first attempt at making one of those games, originally it was just going to be a test and nothing else but then I got inspired by Eat Spajeje and Rock Smasher to make a food cooking, food eating, speed game. The game was originally going to let you customize your sandwich with different jellys, bread, peanut butters, meats, greens, and cheeses.

(Unused sandwich pieces)

There was also going to be different sandwich making modes such as making a turkey sandwich, it ended up not being added but maybe in a later update I'll add it.

Mid-February 2025 Update

End of January it snowed a little bit (luckily my power didn't go out and my water didn't freeze).

(Pic of snow)

Unfortunately I got horribly sick and had awful allergies as well. I got busy as well which led to me missing out on Pixel Day (my game also got slightly too ambitious so i probably wouldn't have been able to finish it regardless).

Upcoming

Next Game: Next month will officially be my 5th year on Newgrounds and my next game will be slightly related to that, it'll be a small game full of things that I luv

Pixel Day: Last second decided to try and drop a game for Pixel Day this year but completely missed it, I'm gonna continue to work on it but it won't be as much a priority as some of my other projects.

(Early screenshot of the game)

Low Poly Day: Working on a small little project for low poly day, practicing as much 3d modeling as much as I can for this game and I hope to share more about it soon

Newgrounds Day: I'm gonna start working more on this game, I've got so much art to do for this game and ALOT more programming to do but I'm really happy how it's turning out

Other: I've been slowly chipping away at a shit ton of other little games and I'm hoping to get them all out this year, I hope to collab with some artists and musicians on some of these projects

Seeya Next Month!!!

I'll post another update next month and as always, I post all of my game dev screenshots and videos over on Instagram, Twitter, and Bluesky.
