Justice Mustache 3235- A Backstory

JUSTICE MUSTACHE.jpeg

SUBJECT: Justice Mustache
REAL NAME: Dominic Rodney Mustachio
AGE: Yes
Gender: Male
Job: We'll get to that >:/

In 20LZ, Justice Mustache was born. He was the child of John Madden and the Disco Dancer from Klik and Play.
He was always interested in Super Heroes. Mainly because of his urge to blow crap up. He had a thing for JUSTICE too.
You can probably guess where this leads to.

In 20XX, Justice Mustache got a job as a Police Officer. He was later told to rather work as a S.W.A.T. officer because
of his HIGH OCTANE ACTION style of justice....spreading. "For Christ sakes, Dominic, you've blown the hell out of every damn person
you've encountered. Shouldn't you do some more violent work if you're going to do that?" Said his police officer Bobby.
After moving to the S.W.A.T. team, Justice Mustache decided to take on criminals himself rather than the help of the team.
For that, he was nicknamed "Justice Mustache" because of his HIGH-OCTAINE ACTION ACTS OF JUSTICE and his huge mustache.
One day, Justice Mustache was taking on Justice Judge, a later rival of his, and was severley hurt. He had to be brought to a medic.
Though, beyond his knowledge, this wasn't an ordinary medic.
The said medic was Heisa B. Astard. He was trained in MAD SCIENCE for years. Not only did he heal J.M. up, but he increased his
health and IMPLANTED AN ACTIVE OBJECT LAUNCHER IN HIS MUSTACHE, thus increasing the importance of J.M.'s nickname more.
Dispite the stupidity of the idea, Justice Mustache found this upgrade quite helpful, albeit a bit stupid. He grew more used to it as the years passed.

In 20XZ, Justice Mustache encounters his now-rival Justice Judge in a one-on-one battle in front of the Fantasy Boarder after encountering 5 other criminals.
(aka J.M. 2.) After Justice Judge is defeated, UBOA emerges from nowhere and challenges JUSTICE MUSTACHE TO A FIGHTINGS.
Uboa was a tough opponent, but Justice Mustache defeated him and (the ending SPOILER) CELEBRATED WITH A PIE. (the ending SPOILER)

In 20YC, Evilicious, a company OF EVIL (Captian Obvious to the rescue) was created by Yume Nikki protagonist Madotsuki.
Backstory for her, she had weird dreams, sent Uboa after Justice Mustace, BACKSTORY FOR HER DONE THE END.
(See? I keep thinking of random excuses to connect everything to each other.)
Reason why she started it? Because I'm too huge of a Yume Nikki fanboy to explain why.

In 20YF, Justice Mustache learns of Evilicious after defeating an evil Alladin. Justice Mustache goes and persues Evilicious and shut them down.
After fighting 3 awful filler bosses made after Smedis2 had a wrist cramp, He encounters Madotsuki and BLOWS HER OUT OF THE WINDOW.
After defeating Madotsuki, he walks home to enjoy tea and chips.

What shall happen next? NOBODY KNOWS.

Going back in time

I was wracking my brain for ideas (maybe I should have some space cake!) and somewhere in the void that has become my brain (which have survived many scientific tests involving dubious substances) did I remember writing a blog somewhere on the internets. So I plugged the address into the wayback machine and voila! My old blog and gaming notes!!! Thank goodness I still remembered that shizz. I downloaded all that I could as all my backups of these old sites are rotting away on floppies ('mema them?) and I'm not home to go thru them.

So yay, I have my notes. Now to get to cranking on some glorious trainwrecks!

attn windows user s!!!!

as the first milestone of my gruelling foray into programming with no end in sight for the frustration and milestones, i've recreated one of my most legendary masterpieces, smoorf game 1. please check it out and tell me if there's anything really wonky with it, or it works at all.

programming injuries

title menu.PNG

I hate drawing. Doing gfx is the worst part of my programming experience. I'm OK at it, it's just time consuming. I can code all day and not be bothered with it, for like 12 hours straight with the occasional bathroom break. But doing this drawing and plotting pixels, AARGH I hate it!!! Just can't stand it. I want a specific look but at times I feel like ripping stuff from other games (and ripping out my hair!)

I just have to stick with it....

My eyes hurt from staring at the screen and my wrist is numb from the mouse. Because I'm not at home base with all my materials (including a drawing pad and pen that I use to make my gfx on and my library of clip art discs!!) it's hard going old skool before I got the fancy equipment. I remember the days using graphics paper and plotting out my pixels that way with my 64 or 100 crayon box by my side. But I'm nearly 30 not 15 years old any more. My patience has gotten thin. Or I need to rebuild my patience? At least I got some brootal death and black metal to rock out to. Back in the day I rocked glam metal, haha!

Posted is my title screen for one of my games, Beyond the Stars. Simple concept (find some aliens and take their picture). I wanted the 'bad kiddie drawing' look but damn it, it's tough! Believe it or not, the title screen is all from clip art discs. The rest of the game features my actual drawings.

random name generator

i got some good names. Ran it aboue 200 times and kept about half of the names listed. They're going to be used as actual games/titles/levels. This is going to be interesting.

It's such a rainy and cold day.... perfect for programming! ^_^

Need a job... doing a trainwreck

I'm stuck in this city with no cash and no home (I'm couch surfing for now.) I decided that since I got a 3 day weekend ahead of me, I'm going to write a trainwreck and sell it. Ha! I just want to see what I can hammer out in 3 days. I can't find a job anywhere in this crappy city but I'm not ready to go back 'home' yet (I want to avoid my mom's couch again!)

I had many attempts before trying to hammer out games while keeping my eyes peeled for jobs but after a year's hunt, I used my tax refund to go on vacay, only to run out of cash and get a job that brought me to this city and I got into it with the people I work with (I don't like working with others, it seems) so now I'm stranded.

I keep getting flack from my family and friends that programming a game is stupid without extra schooling, Fuck school. I was bored to tears (maybe I'm so damn genius that I didn't need 16 weeks to learn algebra, how about 2 days? lolz)

I'm determined to finally get some games off the ground and make some money in doing what I love (altho using a game dev kit kinda is wonky than hard coding, I can always hammer out something in QB64 lolz or DarkBasic).

So this blog will chronicle my attempts. Let's see how this trainwreck goes!!!
