Code and README (sorta)

Merry Klikmas, Alchiggins! This is a gift for you!

You are Axelia, banished heir to the noble von Lesbe family. Explore a vast, post-apocalyptic desert wasteland with your mech and shoot up a bunch of war machines to rescue your crush from the clutches of an evil cult. Featuring open-world gameplay, feminist political machinations, a bizarre amount of incomprehensible lore, and lots of explosions. I was only able to fit in a couple Digimon, but they do form the basis for the religious system used in the world so hopefully that makes up for it.

Enjoy!

Take part in a cutting edge experimental project in Food Science where everything is on the line. Can you keep your cool on the hot hamburger griddle?

For wendywildshape, who requested:
* overwhelming visuals
* laughter and tears
* yr favorite food front and center

Merry Klikmas!

Merry Christmas Hugs!

I only got to include four of the things (I made up a language, but didn't squeeze it in :( ). But I think they are good ones~

I learnt a lot making it, and had a lot of fun. Hope you like it. Can you can find the s e c r e t ?

Controls are configurable, but the defaults are

WASD to jog.
Left Ctrl to grab.
Left shift to walk.
Spacebar to jump
Backspace to restart.
Escape to quit.

If you have a controller it should work with that too--works with mine (but quit and restart are only on keyboard)!

Made with Unity 3D and Crocotile3D.

EPeakLanB! (the acronym extension was improvised early am)

The Santa/Grog/Grolby/Tia rat-pack is back with more cast and more blast!

* Written in two languages so nobody understands nobody
* Soundfonted midi music playing to a listener's delight
* Guaranteed to appall and awe the masses in an improvised Christmas/Winter Pageant
* Released a day before Orthodox Christmas
* Other stars/bullets that may or may not shock yoU!!!!!
* Sequel to Arswaeerea

For one more current update: those on mobile platforms there's a mobile version, I don't know how it works/look but:

Have you ever been so lost in a series it inspires a change in your canon, or you decided to take a request and still work out a dream in your head you've been itching to do? EpeakLanB can take you there. The world is also open! Your input can change the direction of where or what those crazy crew members are and/or do next. Suggestions are open, psyches can by hypnotic, and life is full of fiber optics to bring these pipe dreams to sewer life!

Authors' outside-of-game Notes:
This took a bit longer than expected, but released one day before Christmas so that's a +. Ray's story can finally be enjoyed by others.

Part of the time involved watching an entire series for "rewsearch" and that took a while. I don't want to spoil the series and and made an attempt to tread carefully in the finished(?) product to reflect on that so PM me if you want my take on it. Good series though.

Thanks to clyde for the inspiration. Other names of notoriety in bass: Catdodo, Lazi, Moneyfunny, onlyorange. It's really early. I must sleep. The Christmas cycle curse has been broken and for that I can say:

Attachments included: 26283391.txt game script as of now. This site doesn't allow xml attachments so pretend it's text, rename to xml and view it in a browser if you want that layout to see what a bassnovel game is really made of! epeak.txt all of the chinese text here before translation. It isn't in any order. other conceptual art.

FIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRST!

Or you could choose and play EPeakLanB if you'd like! I made an uninspired PLAY BUTTON animation you can click on that will theoretically take you there. You could also alternatively click on this sentence as well for your enjoyment!

(Don't open till Christmas!)

Secret Santa game for snapman!!!

Tried to satisfy his wishlist: Combining KNP art and custom art, and telling a story using that style.

My one playtester did not notice the text and thus did not catch the story :/
