It's been quite a year, and I've noticed that I haven't submitted a single thing this year, even though I have made a couple of small projects during a couple of game jams. So here's what I've made.

# Totally BS! (For Ludum Dare 26)
Yeah, the title's literally "Hashtag Totally BS!". I meant for it to be a "road trip" kind of series, and I hope to use this as a "Game Jam' series, meaning each episode would be created during a Game Jam and all that. It's a puzzler, but I'm not sure if I want to continue this one.

Go Deep! (For MolyJam 2013)
Unfortunately, I cannot upload this to Newgrounds, because the format is unsupported. It's made in Monogame, which from what I heard, it's like XNA, but you can publish it for all sorts of platforms. Download it for Windows and Mac, and go catch your dog.

FWD: Totally BS!!: Convention Disruption (For iamagamer)
One of my personal favorite Totally BS! series gets a new light, and hopefully a new season to go hand in hand with the Turn-A cast. The theme here is interesting, because it's simply "Strong Female Protagonist". Given my history, I almost didn't go, because of my work schedule and though "this wouldn't be challenging to me". But in the end, I'm glad to have contributed, and attempted on creating something with a bit of commentary on the subject of fake geeks. I'm currently working on a Director's Cut of this, so I can start a new season of this.

And finally, Boston Festival of Indie Games. It was fantastic. Went to listen to Robin Hunicke's speech, and it was inspiring. Especially on the bit about not being afraid of throwing ideas, even if they are good, away if things get too cluttered; since I'm somewhat horrible at doing that. She also talked about the PS3 game Journey and it's interesting to have seen what the player character would've looked like. Also played Ninja Dice, it's a fun and quick little dice game, and they got a Kickstarter(thus backing them up.) Other than that, I just hung out with friends and tried out some of the games, both in the digital and tabletop showcases. Oh yeah, the 8-hour Game Jam submissions were pretty cool, with the street brawler Equality X, and one involving two spaceships and falling numbers (the goal is both sides ending up with the same number).

What am I working on right now? Aside from working on the Totally BS! series, I picked back up the Cyberangel series with a new script, and planning on a game, most likely a Metroidvania style, and mostly likely in Unity.
