This absolutely rocks!! I'm absolutely honored to be user of the day on this beautiful website, and I'll do my best to keep making awesome stuff for you dudes!


In celebration, here's some sneak peaks on my current game projects!


MATCHMAKER

In this game you play as the lovely Venus, where your goal is to find people of similar tastes and match them together! It's a simple little game with some dudes walking around and a special lady to drop some love onto them! No spoilers BUT there are currently plans to have a very cool artist working on the game, more details on that later. Pictured above is programmer art from the current build.


Untitled Forest Game

Prepare for something a little spookier than usual. Can't say much about much about this game right now other than it's my current main priority. Hope you're ready for a scare!


Something Outside

Woah, another big project?? This is one I've been working on for a good while now, and I intend for it to be my first game release on steam! This one is also a horror game (funny enough I started it way before the last one) and it will hopefully be out before the end of the year! There's still a ton to be done, but just know you can pet the cat!


Lake of Love

This is the big one. This project is one I've been dreaming about for ages now, and I've been working hard to make it a reality! Funny enough it was supposed to be a prequal to another game I wanted to make, but since it's coming out first I don't think it can be called that lmao (more on that game later). The game takes place on a little island in an alien world where you play as Dale, an enthusiastic fisherman / researcher, who has just met his dream girl and is doing everything he can to win her over. On this island there's a tradition where you MUST buy the person you are courting a gift before you can take them out on a date, so Dale's gotta fish his way into her heart by selling those fish for big bucks. Most of the art is being done by me, BUT I have gotten that absolutely wonderful Silvermations to create the art for the romance segments!! (Go check her out she's awesome) Hope you like fishing minigames too, as one of the big things is that you can choose from a selection of different minigames to play when you catch a fish! This is a project I'm very excited about and I can't wait to share it with everyone!!

Dale, the fisherman loverboy

Estrella, the coolest gal on the island


BUT THATS NOT ALL

Okay okay those last ones where the big projects that will most likely get done, so here's the segment where I show some stuff that are on the table but not guaranteed.


iu_1370898_8399524.webp

Pictures is a game called 52 Card Nightmare, it's a game where you gotta play 52 card pickup in an evil maze filled with stuff trying to kill you

This here is an untitled whale game I worked on for a while, it would be a semi-realistic whale simulator. Whale model by @perezangelito on twitter.

This one is called Milkdromeda, it's a little Space Invaders-like where you play as a cow trying to save your cow friends from abduction. Pixel art by Fish125


That's all for now! Once again thank you for everyone who worked on games with me, followed me, played my cool games, I def wouldn't be where I am without all of you, so thank you!!

Mighty Tanker Power Wankers has received a massive overhaul! There are an obnoxious amount of new details and fixes that got put into this, and now the game is finally fully playable!


iu_1307626_8399524.gif


On a more personal note, this game has been a massive learning experience for myself and the rest of Mellow Minds over the past two years, and has definitely been a wild journey for all of us too. Originally it was meant to be a medium sized project for Pixel Day 2023, but we bit off way more then we could chew and missed that deadline by a year. Funny enough though that let us post the game on Pixel Day 2024, as the buggy mess that it was. To be honest by that point we had all become sick of working on it and just wanted to make sure it released on Pixel Day, which was exactly why it was released as gnarly as it was. But, thanks to the help of some feedback and encouragement from viewers like you I reopened the file and cranked out this update to give this old project the version it deserves. It's nice that I can finally close the chapter of my life that was MTPW knowing that it's as good as it'll get, and I sincerely thank every single individual who messaged me about it, commented, rated, and the like for helping me finish what was started. I'd also like to take a moment to appreciate my team, Mellow Minds. Without them I wouldn't be the person I am now and would absolutely not be writing this post right now. Thank you for reading!
