I don’t know why I thought it would only take us 2 days to revamp our movement systems from the ground up. I have been BUSTING MY ASS the past few weeks getting this up and running, and yeah, it’s painful, but at the same time it’s like, HOLY SHIT, the game feels competently made now. It was good before, I’m REALLY happy we redid it.

Why spent years and years on a game just for it to be a rehashed version your drug across the finish line of systems you created years ago when you had no idea WTF you were doing?

It took a bit more doing than we anticipated, but it’s starting to come online.

And there’s a voice in my head screaming, DON’T PUT A BUILD OUT! IT’LL BE SO MUCH MORE POLISHED AND SHOW SO MUCH MORE POTENTIAL IN A WEEK! OR EVEN TOMORROW!

But whatever, honestly, it just doesn’t even matter. It doesn’t matter if no one plays it, it doesn’t matter if people do play it and think it’s actually pretty bitchen!

What MATTERS is that we’re pumped, we’re working on it every damned day, and it’s getting bigger and better all the damn time. How much can the rest of this industry say that shit?

We’re sitting here in our cave, up to our ears in our own spittle and tears, itchen to get to work later and kick some ass, while all these other fuck nuts who had every advantage, every ear, every storefront, ever dollar, every fucking resume on their table, armies of coders and artists knocking on their door BEGGING to slave for them to make the next installment of whatever the fuck IP.

And where the fuck are these weak willed, self affirmed fuck nuts? Doing the same thing we are, bitching and moaning!

What was my point again?

Does it matter? Gonna relax a little bit, shitpost on the old twatters, black some neckbeard’s eyes, fry up a steak, and then we’re gonna get some gobble fish in, tune up movement a touch, maybe get a shop in, then we GON’ MAKE A BUILD MOTHER FUCKERS.

I really want to try to get a build on the Unity page and make sure we know wtf we’re doing so that we can have a decent entry in the next few days.

I know it’s silly to say that, there’s no cash prize, probably not much prestige, and Unity has treated us like a total piece of garbage (which we admittedly are), but one thing I’ve been trying to impart through this blog, is the trophies, the money, the prestige, none of that really matters.

Things only have the value that we give to them. So for me, after all these years trying to get this game playable in web, and playable on all manner of input devices, and performant and all that shit, this is actually a really unique opportunity for SeaCrit to shine like a mother fucker in all the unique ways that make this game obviously cool right here and right now.

I know there’s more to get online, I know that in a month the game will be 5x better, and it kinda pisses me off we gotta put out this diminutive demo of just 2 screenfulls of tutorialized content, but that’s ok.

You know why? Cuz SeaCrit is rockin’ fuckin’ ass. And even with one arm tied behind our back, workin’ on this shit machine I built 8 years ago for 400 bucks, on these crappy monitors that barely turn on, in the puddle of this squalor, working for a world that fucking despises us… with every fucking disadvantage, we are WHOOPIN’ ACE!

Wouldn’t have it any other way at this point. We suffered a long road. And you know what we DIDN’T have to do? Sit in traffic every morning? Pretend to be working when we were burned out. Fix other dumb mother fuckers’ bugs, and try to shmooze and brush elbows with assholes who actively want to see the project fail and don’t give a damn for hard work and making cool shit. We were free to do things the right way, the hard way, and given the chance, I don’t think we would have done it this way. This ill fortune was the best thing that could have happened to seacrit, and it was our blood, sweat, and tears that fed this fuckin’ beast.

Takin’ our time, just movin’ onnnnnnnnnnnnn, takin’ my time, yeah just movin’ onnnnnnnnnnnnn.

The funny thing is… I’m going to open SeaCrit in a few hours and realize that the movement is actually ass and going to take WAY more work to feel decent, but for now. WOOOOOOOOO! Game is kicking ass!
