Hey, glad to hear from my favorite pancake🥞
Awesome that you're gonna participate to AmalgamAsh next game jam, and yes I've also joined it, hoping to submit something😁 Just hammer that creative block, show it who's the boss!
Great news concerning Someone Stole My PC, it was a really charming entry! Ooh, I haven't played Mort's Last Day Alive yet but if it's among your favorites, it must be good, I might try it soon then!
Thanks for posting and have a nice day too😎
That's so sweet! And you're my favourite chicken! 🐔 Does this mean you know other pancakes, though? 🤔 I've met other chickens, but most of them don't talk much.
I was hoping you would, cuz I'm really interested to see what you make using Bakin... 👀 How much have you used the engine so far? As for me, I'll just be happy if I submit anything at all. 🤷♂️ You're right though. Just gotta stay focussed and get it done!
Thank you! Hopefully the game retains its charm in the future updates (so far so good I think). 😊 Yes, I'd appreciate that immensely! If you liked SSMPC, then I'm sure you'd like MLDA, too! It has more potential narratively than the majority of my games, and writing dialogue/storytelling is something I want to improve on.
At this point I mostly make these posts as an excuse to chat with ya. 🤪
Aww thank you🤗 Well, I met a few before but never had time to chat with them because I ate them too quickly... 👀 Yeeah, we're not usually too talkative!
Not too much actually, I did use it a bit when it came out but never made anything concrete with it (and it was mostly just mapping) so the eventing, the layout and camera tools are pretty new to me. How about you, are you a pro baker? And yes, same! Do you already have an idea for your game? Personnally I think I'm gonna keep things really simple for this one and make an RPG inspired by the first dragon quest/warrior (and it might include a side quest about finding a pancake recipe but shhh...🤫).
Ooh you have me even more interested about playing MLDA now, might try it today actually and gave you my really detailled and professionnal review afterward! The premise alone sounds really cool! Can't wait to see what other delicious games you'll create and to see how you'll improve your skills along the way👍
Haha, that's pretty sweet😘 I also really enjoy it when we chat!
I can't stay friends with other pancakes for that same reason. 😋
So far I've made 5 different projects in Bakin (The AmalgamPieninsula, The Easter Bunny Has A Problem!, The Labyrinth of Mushmush, RPS Battle System, & 2 Bees in a Pot) but I donno if that makes me a pro Bakin baker or not. 🤷♂️ Nope, no idea what to make right now... 😅 That sounds cool! And I highly approve of your pancake-oriented side quest. Maybe I need pancakes in my submission, too... 🤔
Excellent! I look forward to hearing what you think! 😁 Me too! And I'm also eager to see what you make in the future!
We'll probably be chatting for a while at this rate. Gotta fill in the time between the games we make, ya know?
Ouh that's quite a bit actually, definitely a pro BAKIN baker in my eyes👏! Even more so that BAKIN feels, to me at least, a bit more complex than other similar engines. I'm sure the inspiration will come to you! I'm happy that you approve of my side quest, ô great Jason, the one and only pancake lord🙏🥞 And yes that would be cool, maybe even just a small easter egg!
MLDA was pretty great, I really enjoyed the exploration and the surreal elements!
Haha yes you're right, and I'm not going to complain😋
Well, I guess I am a pro baker then! 👨🍳 I hope you're right, cuz I don't like being uninspired for too long! 😤 It doesn't take much to please this pancake lord... pancakes usually do the trick. Well, I'm thinking my game should be all about pancakes! Maybe it should be a pancake puzzle game? 🤔
I'm glad you enjoyed and thank you for your review. 🥰 Hopefully I can continue its development soon.
Not only are these chicken chats a good way to pass the time, but they're helpful for inspiration, too! 🧠
Oops sorry for the wait, I had a pretty stressful weeks, hope you haven't been staring at the screens all this time, impatiently waiting for my reply🙃
Hey why not, haha, or a pancake tamagotchi-like where you take care of your own pancake🥞🥰 So much you can do with just pancakes, the possibilities are just endless!!
No problem, it was my pleasure to play it, and I was able to pet a dog (he's such a good boi)!
Yes you're right🤓
No problem! We all have weeks like that. I figured you'd reply whenever you could. 😊 Hopefully things are settling down for you now, yes?
That'd be cute! I'd love to make a Tamagotchi game like that. Pancakes are versatile indeed, which begs the question why I haven't made more games about them... 🤔 Occasional lapses in focus/patience is probably the main reason. 😓 I wish games were easier to make sometimes!
Yes, he's the bestest boi! If that model had more animations, it'd be fun to make a fetch minigame or something. Oh well. 🤷♂️ (though it might be kinda funny to have the dog run around without the correct animation anyway 🤭)
Have you done any work on your Bakin game so far?
Yes you're right, it's part of life I guess! And yes, thank you very much🤗
Haha, would love to see that! I'm curious, were you also addicted to these cute little creatures that pooped everywhere? Maybe you just waiting for the right time to make your pancake magnum opus? Haha, that would be so cool to make games just by imagining them, the process would be simpler, and maybe a bit more chaotic 😎
Oh yes, a game with a dog mini game is a 10/10, the rest of the game is just a bonus🐶 That's the problem with 3D models, it's harder to personalize or to add animations compared to pixel art for example (not that I'm good at pixel art).
Not really, I experimented a bit with the engine, ideas and stuff (and maybe reducing the scope I had in mind😁) but nothing too serious right now. How about you, are the ideas flowing?
Good to hear! Chickens shouldn't be stressed like that. 😇
Yes, I used to spend a lot of time taking care of my Tamagotchi (and cleaning up its poop 💩💩💩💩💩). I still have it too! 👾 Maybe you're right... pancakes are very important to me after all, so a game about them has to be just as good. 😋 That would be awesome! If imagining was all I needed to do, I'd make so many more games! And yes, they'd be more chaotic for sure. 😁
Maybe my jam game should be a game where you play fetch with a dog by throwing a pancake to him. 🥏 I'd love to be better at both pixel art and 3D modelling, but I'm too lazy to do either most of the time... so yeah, like you said, that makes it difficult. 😩
That's okay! We've still got time for now, so there's no need to rush. Reducing the scope is always helpful with jam submissions. No progress yet... I keep procrastinating and wondering if I'll even submit anything at this rate. 😓
