#ZENMODESWEEP

Anyways thank you all newgrounders for five hundred fans. it's been a great deal on me coming here and making things for you guys. I can't state how grateful I was when I hit 500. I still remember the day I made this account. I found NG again after a while and thought 'hey, why not make an account?' so I did. after that, i decided to make a scratch game in 10 minutes and uploaded it to NG to see how it would do.

That game, was the now republished, Pixel's Electronic Bass.

After that I've made many more games, and finally my game 'Tankmen Story of Sepia' was frontpaged. It wasn't even that good but to me it getting frontpaged was the Tom Seal of Approval. From there I'm now working on new projects:

ROADMAP FOR THE FUTURE:

I'm making a game for the Mobile Jam 2022. Check it out when it comes out, i'll post it here on blogs. I won't say too much about it.

I'm wrapping up the Alien Hominid Art Collab. If you didn't submit your art, i'm sorry, but you will be removed from the project. It's been 7 months so yeah... you had a lot of time. I still got a handful of subs though, so thanks! It'll come out soon, expect it near the ~6th.

My Pixel day game is also in development and is doing VERY well. I've posted a few leaks to the game portal discord server, so if you join that, just search me in the WIP GALLERY channel. :D

See you all soon Newgrounds! I hope to bring you some good games!

Do you like topdown games?

If I heard you say yes, you might just be interested in my next game!!

I've been working on this one for quite a while!

Let me tell you about it.

It has:

• Lots of red
• Fun enemies
• Concept of death
• Cool collectibles
• Epic modifiers
• Difficulty changing
• Retro 16x pixel art

And more!!

Do I have your word?

If I do, look around on Pixel Day 2023. It's gonna be BIG. it's gonna be BULKY. and you're gonna love playing it!

oh and remember

make sure to follow s-zenmode for more cool stuff

so i play TBOIR(ebirth)

and my keyboard freezes when playing causing mass distrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

distress

see

that just happened

so

i used my controller!!!!

and now also i met the lamb and got some soul hearts and guppy the cat's hand. :) i have like 14 hearts now!

i was at depths and i almost beat this asshole

this is my fifth run i'd say and i've reached the final floor for the 2nd time!!!!

the depths seem kinda hard, but i have 6 hearts and i have gimpy which gives me free half refills and soul hearts. so I should be good

one thing to mention: my keyboard sometimes freezes for 5 seconds randomly while playing does anyone know how to fix it thanks

Xuz Flash Game is now out!

It's my very first flash GAME, and it has Medals!!

THE GAME IS KINDA GORY. SOMETIMES... SO.... YEAH

Okay, so, as most of you know, I'm absolutely horrible at making side-ways platforming/shooter games. ESPECIALLY SIDESCROLLERS.

But all of that is ABOUT to change! I've looked at a few things and have gotten a little understanding on how to scroll in Scratch games. Expect a new game sooner or later. :) And this time, i'm not kidding

Here's some PS1 case cover art for Alien Hominid. Print it and use it!

FRONT COVER

BACK COVER ART (credit to the behemoth for the screenshots LMAO)

So in my last (post-Pico Day) blog post (GO READ IT IF YOU HAVEN'T)

I revealed I'm working on a flash game

Well

Each blank flagged frame needs to be finished. Otherwise.. the rest is done.

Lots of medals. Lots. Have fun.

Okay so I would like to start with

THANKS FOR LIKE 400 FANS.

I NEVER KNEW I'D GET TO THIS POINT LIKE 14 MONTHS FROM APRIL. BACK THEN I WAS JUST A GOOFY KID THAT MADE SOME SMALL SCRATCH GAMES AND SLAPPED IT ONTO THIS WEBSITE. BUT THIS IS BARELY THE BEGINNING OF TEH LEGEND OF Z3NM0D3

okay with that said (i cannot express how happy i am ogm) i'd like to say a few things

this was a GREAT pico day,

everyone uploaded great things. my personal faves from the bunch of classic portal subs were these two:

A great classic by Fifleo and TheBlueHatted was a nice fighting game featuring the Pico crew. It has great art and animation with amazing game design to compliment. I really look up to this game and see it as a setting stone and a goal for me to even get near something as powerful as this.

This was a nice movie with a cool musical score to it and some good style to compliment it too. Great stuff Stradomyre

All in all, I'm really happy. Tankmen: SoS won fifth place for June 11 (actually just june 10) and got frontpaged AND played by Mister Fulp him-very-self. This is my very first frontpaged game and I'm very happy. I'm young so things like this go a long, long way.

now about the future of my game development and stuff

i previously mentioned that i'm in art block and game dev block. i can't make anything as of now. it's hard to slap a few things together. whatever i make doesn't look like something that would represent me as usual, even from before.

so now, i'm waiting for someone to host the next 'july game jam' so i can start a little project and then continue it with a new update every month.. and then i'll have a huge game that i'm so so proud of.

the only reason i'm waiting for another game jam is because the themes (as well as the great summer heat and my juice) gets my creative fluids running and flowing all the way through, and i get big ideas for games. and because i'm kind of stubborn with my stuff and how i like them, especially on video game projects, i dunno if i can work with others. i'll learn how to use some things like FL studio so i can make my own music, exactly how i'd like the vibe.

i won't work on any games besides the ones that i'm already working on. i need to focus on my life too.

SO YEAH I'M WORKING ON A FEW GAMES

IT'S NOT TOO MUCH! HEAR ME OUT

i'm making two flash games:

one is a johnny rocketfingers-henry stickmin hybrid game, a few people are beta testing it. it's my brainchild. AND YES! IT'S MY VERY FIRST FLASH GAME.

i also have to attribute NoCaps robs a bank for inspiration too.

i actually didn't play much of it, and just now I realized it's a carbon copy of it but longer but also lower quality. tale that as you will.
