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"

Detailing the Sand Box Continued

In continuing with adding details to the Sand Box I've added another toy boat, this time a cute little plastic tug boat. I was going to place it over along side the other toy boat but thought maybe it might be best to spread stuff out a little as I've lots of space in the Sand Box to work with. This one is more for decoration as it's not really useful for hiding stuff inside for Bud to collect. But it adds something to explore.

I started work on creating a toy rubber Shark for the Sand Box that will serve a good purpose of hiding things inside as it's hollow and will be quite large that Bud will be able to go inside of it.

You can see a work in progress of the toy rubber Shark here. I've still got some geometry to fix up a bit and then I'll have to UVW texture map it. It not animated although I did tinker with the idea of having the jaws snap open and closed so that Bud would have to time going inside of the shark just right, I may still do that as it's kind of a cool idea.??

Once the Shark is done I need to come up with something to use as a bridge to cross over the mote to the Sand Castle. I thought of making it out of Popsicle sticks but I have enough of those as fences along the mote edge so I want something different to use as a bridge, I'm not sure what at the moment. Maybe I might make it out of the toy blocks but I'm thinking something else might be a cooler idea, just not sure what yet though, Eh! Something will spring to mind I'm sure :)
