About Bud the Spud

"Bud the Spud" is a potato and unlike other potatos Bud is perfectly happy to remain a potato, he has no intention of becomming "Mashed Potato, French Fries, potato Chips" or anything else that takes away from his being just a plain ordinary potato.

one day Bud discovers that the "Rotten Potato" is selling off his fellow potato people to the fast food conglomorates in a mass genocide of his own people. Now this is enough to piss off any self respecting potato. And so begins Bud's adventure to find and stop the "Rotten Potato" from this dastardy most dispicable act of genocide. Bud will have no easy task as he will have many obstacles along the way, deadly toxic mud bogs to cross, attacking Worms, Potato Beetles, rogue toy Robots, food processing machines, Hibachi BB Q's and so much more.

Thus begins the concept for my indie game development project "Bud the Spud"

Bouncing Balls and Robot Death

I kept thinking today when I was out fro my bike ride that my new space toy ball was missing something, but what was it, and then around the 5 mile mark it hit me, "My ball need sound and a bounce ability" which it was lacking. So after i got home I worked on giving the ball some bounce using the physics bounce material and playing around with the settings. Then I added the sound effect for when the ball bounces.

Next was the Toy robots in the Tree House. Now it's not likely that you can get the one inside of the Tree House to fall out and to the ground below but the one on the upper look out deck it is possible using the ball to force the robot to walk off of the edge or fall through the hole in the floor. I wish I could show you a sweet screen capture of the toy robot falling and then exploding with a nice robot exploding sound effect but it's very tricky to do and more sort of thrown in as the "What if" factor ;) Maybe over the course of game testing if I come up with sure fire method of dispatching the robot out of the Tree House I'll capture a video clip and upload it to my YouTube and then post it here ;)
