Life Doughnuts Filled with DESTINY

Blog is coming BUT First things first! ANNOUNCEMENTS! (Both pertain to BBR)

• A new bug has been foundDONT'PANIC, it's a doozy but the good news is that it is quite rare. Players may experience frustration when they find that they cannot damage the opposing team- that is because on very rare instances the system will display you as red, for example, and THINK you are blue. Confusion and sometimes hilarity will ensue. A fix for this was submitted today so hopefully things will level out soon <3
• We have reached out and given the skill system a bit of a tweaking. We've been getting reports of players having problems with it but HANG IN THERE, things should begin to clear up in the next few days as the servers get their act together.

That does it for BBR news, now back to our regularly scheduled BLAWG:

I had a realization a few seconds ago. If you're reading this, you probably have an interest, on some level, in video game development. Keeping this in mind I have opened my eyes to what you all are, an untapped sea of cheap labor potential. It could very well be your DESTINY to work in game design.

Let me be the one to take you under my ween, shelter you from the showers of misinformation that permeate the interwebs and set you on the education path that will govern your posture and spinal wellness (or lack there of) for years to come.

Today's less is VOCABULARY. 

Today's single word is ORTHOGRAPHIC.

An Orthographic, in vidja game terms, is a means of representing a three dimensional object in two dimensions. In other words, a drawing of the character/object displayed from all angles for the neanderthalic poo-brain 3D modelers* to begin sculpting the final model we see in the game.

*just kidding! Love you, 3D team! Kisses.

BELOW we have two examples of final orthographics used in Wil's Finest Hour! I hope you all learned something today! If you didn't, there are several educational grants available to help you find the appropriate learning center. I hear Sylvan is nice <3

An orthographic for the tentatively titled "PLANT BOSS"! (That is to say, a boss who is a plant).

An orthographic for one of the HIP's ready and willing maid bots!

 

BBR 1.2.1 has been submitted!

Also after tons of voting we have come to rest on this as the icon we will use! We will see how it goes and adjust it accordingly! Thank you all so much for your input!

The Dusty Annals of SkyVu: Long Lost Boss ROBOTICUS!

I have a VERY special treat for you all this week. Many of you already know that Riggs was intended to have a "Mid-Boss" during his campaign in BATTLE BEARS -1. Less of you know that we had actually planned and drawn the cut-scene in advance and it has been sitting in our servers, unused, for over a year. 

NONE OF YOU KNOW that I am about to share with you the long lost Boss encounter in storyboard form! 

BOOYAH!

Riggs encounters ROBOTICUS.

Riggs soundly defeats ROBOTICUS.

Riggs spends a day in the life of a tennis ball with a rope strung through it as he contemplates his defeat. Also, who wants to make me a gif out of this? Ehh? Ehh?!

 

We are TRULY sorry we weren't able to complete this boss fight for our incredible fans. In light of this, this is the least we can do <3 I hope it brings even just a little closure to the RIGGS BOSS FIGHT hole in your heart <3

UPDATE! A special thanks to LeafyGuyDS for taking up the gif torch on this one! :D (And also Apothecy who apparently did the same in our forums <3)

EXTRA TRUE FACTS:

Roboticus would have moved and behaved very similar to an overly playful, possibily angry, dog.

Roboticus was built in the H.I.P. *gasp*!
