PRIMAL PLANET: A pixel-art Metroidvania full of dinosaurs

Hey everyone, I'm still in my cave working on Primal Planet with my stone tools. There's still a long way to go, but it's coming along pretty nicely. Recently I've been chiseling away at the Steam page and added new cover art, a gameplay trailer, new description and all kinds of stuff about this primeval journey.

Check it out, and if this pixel art dinovania sincerely looks like something you'd want to play, please add the game to your wishlist. It would mean so much!

PRIMAL PLANET

A new pixel-art Metroidvania full of dinosaurs is in the works!

Yes, there will be a T.rex, multiple tyrannosauruses as a matter of fact.

DESCRIPTION

Primal Planet is a Metroidvania that combines survival and crafting elements with a pixel-perfect aesthetic and an action-packed story, and it's all taking place on a lush planet filled with dinosaurs!

These are Primal Planet's rendition of Troodon, and some giant mosquitoes, all out for your blood. Welcome to the primal jungle!

As some of you might know, the last few years have been hard on me. Well, this post is to let you all know that I've gradually gotten over myself, and I'm back! :D

I'm working on a new game! Soon, I'll reveal more about this new project which I'm super passionate about. For now, I just mainly want to express my thanks for all the support over the years, and invite you all to join my new discord server where I'm hoping we can start feeling more like a community and communicate better with each other. I'll still post updates on my social media accounts, so if Discord is not your thing, that's ok.

You have no idea how much I appreciate each and every one of you <3 So here's an invite link to join the seethingswarm community over on Discord: https://discord.gg/kcJ8Vddcjt

If any of you are fellow game developers and want to make a pixel-art game with a dog in it, the asset pack is now available on itch for $3.00 USD. It was nice to be ale to make the time and bring this doggie to life. Hopefully I'll get the time to make even more assets in the future. We'll see.

Hi there Newgrounds! I'm not sure if anyone here remembers me, but I feel like I need to write this. I've had a rough few years and I haven't been active on NG for years either. I sort of just left my Newgrounds account high and dry and never updated anyone on what is happening with me and my projects. For that I am very sorry and I apologize. So here is just an update of what's been happening with me and what I'm up to now.

Unfortunately I had to cancel "Enter The Flesh Again" for many reasons. I made a post about it on the game's Facebook page back in Sept of 2019, but I just totally neglected Newgrounds. I think I'll just post that exact thing here right now:

"Hey there everyone,

Feels like it’s been forever since I’ve been active on social media. For the past few years I’ve been under a rock of depression. Several burnouts, financial and relationship problems and just plain stupid life choices resulted in me being completely exhausted. I want to apologise for just disappearing and being so unresponsive. I’m sorry.

Enter The Flesh Again, a game I’ve been working on for an eternity, is being put on hold, possibly indefinitely. It’s one of those things that ended up almost destroying me, and it’s my own fault. The game is made in Flash. Since it’s a pretty big game, Flash is struggling immensely to handle all the content, and it takes forever to write even a single line of code. On top of that, Flash is completely dead and the game would not be accepted on almost any platform, so it will need to be ported somehow. There are workarounds and solutions, but in this case, making the game from scratch would actually be easier. So yeah, I screwed up with this one.

Right now I’m in the process of updating my skillset and really planning on what I need to do if I want to keep making games as an indie designer, and survive. I’ll try to be a bit more active and responsive, but I probably won’t post much in the near future either. I’m focusing on fixing and improving myself right now. Maybe, hopefully one day there will be some new game stuff from me. Thanks for reading this and again, I apologise for all my crap."

For the past couple of years I've been updating my coding skills, learned new game development software and changed my art style to pixel art, and right now I'm working on a new game project which I'm not quite ready to share yet. I don't want the same thing to happen again where I can't deliver on my promises, so I'm keeping things secret for now until I'm sure I can deliver.

Sorry again!
