After getting those uploads started, I spent most of the day in the living room playing “Hell Yeah!”, a flawed French 2d platformer. Basically it’s a 2d Sonic tribute with guns and camera issues; you spend a lot of time shooting at aerial enemies somewhere off the edge of the screen because the camera always, always, always keeps your undead rabbit in the dead center of the screen, and is zoomed in way too close for the gameplay. I constantly wished for either a wider view, or a camera that moved around based on my direction of travel and/or aiming.
Still, I’d won it a few years ago, and finished a new game started from scratch today. It’s got a delightfully goofy story that revels in the thinness of its premise: paparazzi have photographed the skeletal rabbit who rules hell in the bath with a rubber duck, and posted this as news; now the rabbit wants to kill all hundred demons who saw it online.
It’s ten thirty and I think it’s bedtime. Looks like one of the files might be uploaded by the time I get up; the time estimate dropped a lot once I made Backblaze and Dropbox stop trying to upload the same zips while I’m FTPing them. And then Rita gets much closer to done; printing will happen, and then I need to figure out how to make Amazon deal with fulfilling the Kickstarter orders for me and selling the boom afterwards.
