Back from Amsterdam + updates

Posted by Jimp - April 11th, 2010


I'm back from Amsterdam - now officially my favorite city - after spending my 21st birthday there with a load of mates. Fucking love it, everywhere has an awesome vibe and its such a clean and beautiful city. Anyway I wont go into details, the coffee was great!

Posted some new art, only 1 more to go until I can be scouted :)

Thanks to everyone that voted for Sushi Cat in the monthly voting, it got me my very first monthly award! You guys fucking rule!

I have 31 days until the hand in date for my final Uni project, Enola. WAAAH I have a lot of work to do. Im gonna be busting 9 - 7 every day to get this bastard done, and the University version isnt going to be anywhere near as big as the version you guys will finally play, so yeah, lots of work. I knew I had made a big commitment with the animation - and its looking fucking amazing because of it - but it is just so painstakingly slow compared to what im used to. I think I might have to take a break after hand in and make Penguinz 2 with LongAnimals before finishing Enola for the web.

Here are some new characters from the game, the Chijin. Each Chijin can be equipped at any time and has a different effect on your party, reflecting your tactical stance. For example the rock Chijin will increase your parties defense by 20%, so should be equipped when you want to take a defensive stance. I got the idea from FF13's paradigm shift system and thought it would be a neat way of adding some more strategy (and kawaii!) to the game. They are also linked with the summons, but I dont wanna spoil that :3

Anyway, I have some work to do.

That picture looks great, I'm looking forward to playing your game! Will it have medals?

Cheers mate, yes medals are more than likely. Tom has already expressed interest in sponsoring it so even if that doesnt go through Ill make sure it gets medals!

Well well well.... We've been playing Golden Sun haven't we?

Anyways, I love your games, so keep it up.

I played the very first one on Gameboy Advance years ago, what a game! I actually didnt get Chijin from Dijin, I looked up "friend" in a japanese translator and it gave me "chijin", but yeah I chose that word because it worked well and was a neat throwback to GS:)

Sushi Cat is awesome.

cheers mate!

Always loves your art style, and the Chijin are no exception!
The Golden Sun games used Djinn, which reminded me of these guys. They had more of a function of casting spells though.

Anyways, you can hit me up when your scoutable, and I would be more than happy to have that honor :3

Yeah man i explained how i got the name a few comments up :)

haha sweet cheers I will do!

That's good to know, medals always make games better :)
Just out of curiosity, who is programming Enola? Or are you doing it all by yourself?

BTW I think it's unfair that even if you have good art in the Art Portal you can't be scouted just because you don't have four submissions :/

Yeah I agree, and the NG medals system is the best! My friend Craig is programming the game, he doesnt really have much on Newgrounds but he is a great programmer and I dont doubt that he'll do it justice!

I would never trust myself to program a game ive put this much love into :P

so how many pounds of herb did you smoke?

A pound is a lot of herb!

did you smoke a few bongs in amsterdam ? cause that would be good . :D

A bong is my weapon of choice.

Did you smoke any of that good amsterdam ganja?

I only smoke weed blasted with glass
