Zoe Quinn had a cool idea. Here's an exclusive peek in the Lazer Mike Diary vol 1 (of 1)

[lazermike]

OH MY GOD I GOT REBLOGGED BY THE GUY WHO MADE THE COMIC! Mr. Runner I love your work! And also lasers!

Impressive, Pokemon X

Okay, there's GOT to be a better way to make a countdown timer, right?

After testing it: Went from 10 to 9, stayed at 9 for 9 seconds and then disappeared.

My computer is still a piece of crap! So more conceptual work! The game needs more items so I'm making a buff system!

From Weird Moments in Email History.

What? You want an update on the game? Well fine. After BostonFIG I got really sick, and then got distracted watching the Red Sox win the World Series (yay!). And then I thought my computer broke, but it didn't; it just doesn't like Starbucks. It's still a POS though.

Right now I'm working on making more advanced versions of the enemies. Hint: They involve lots of primary color palate swaps. (At least for now). Level 2 is almost done except for the boss fight which I still need to do.

So I got this email. I think everyone who went to BostonFIG may have gotten one. 

This is the best email I've ever gotten about depression quest. Thanks, badly informed PR person! pic.twitter.com/gEdS31lwar

Boston Festival of Indie Games recap

Hello post-con wave of new followers! (Don't worry OG fanbase, I still love you.) I think I'm finally recovered from Saturday when BostonFIG knocked me on my ass from how awesome it was! Special thanks to those of the 5000 attendants stopped by booth D20 (a name that would have been way cooler at the tabletop showcase) to play Lazer Mike. I lost count after 9. Lazer Mike's debut to the public went pretty well. I don't think I've ever said the word "Metroidvania" so much. If anyone has any pics of my sweet booth or my Lazer Mike cosplay let me know! Once I get back from KoL con this coming weekend, I'm gonna record a podcast and go in depth a little more about bostonfig. You guys should send in questions. Ask em via tumblr, twitter (@crocketlauncher) or whatever.

Exclusive Boston Festival of Indie Games preview! Tonight I get to spend carving up cardboard to make a hanging sign. After the Seekrit Valve VIP party I'm going to tonight.

Today in Boston Festival of Indie Games prep: Sanding down props and making a powerpoint.

THIS ISN'T WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR

[lazermike]

Hmm I wonder what these could be for...

[lazermike]

WE BUSINESS CARDS NOW!

Shoutout to clostridia for whipping this up for me. Now I'll have something to hand out at BostonFIG (which is in like 2 weeks and change. fuck fuck fuck. So much work to do)

Work on the game itself has slowed for the above reason. But I do plan on doing another Podcast afterwards. So questions!

[lazermike]

Scroll down about half way...

Oh man you guys. Guess whattttt Lazer Mike is going to be featured at The Boston Festival of Indie Games September 14th! MIT GET PUMPED MOTHERFUCKERS

[lazermike]

Level 2 is really coming along! That light flare in the corner may or may not be hiding secrets that I may or may not have actually made yet. Also I'm not saying what that door in the middle labeled "door" leads to. Reminder that I am not the lead artist of Lazer Mike. Though I like how my brightly colored electric walls turned out.

First peek at Level 2 version 2. Looks like the bad guys have some lasers of their own.
