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"

The Hibachi WIP

A sneak peek at one of the Hibachi's that "Bud the Spud" will have to deal with in level 02. I have not yet created the tinfoil wrapped Potato's that he will have to jump onto in order to safely cross the tops of each Hibachi BBQ. The plan is to have each tinfoil wrapped Potato shout "Ouch" each time Bud jumps on one in order to cross. There is still a lot to do and workout in level 02 like the Soccer ball he will need to get up on top of the far wall. Placement of enemy worms, Placement of the Keys, Extra Health and Life pick ups and placement of a few good old Mud Bogs. I also need to create his new enemy "The Potato Beetle" as they will be introduced in this level as well.

Load Bar Issues

I've been busting a nut all evening to work out a load bar just so you won't think my game is busted while waiting for it to load up. And with a little help from Unity Answers I did manage to get one to kinda sort ify not so goodie kinda work... But it does do something but it seems that even after the load bar has finished there is a little bit of a wait before the game loads. I think what I need to do is make a very small level to load first so I guess this weekend I'll make a simple inside of Bud's house kind of level where you can kind of kill a little time exploring while level one loads up. That's OK though because I can put a "Potato News" on his kitchen table that talks about "Rotten potato's" dastardly deeds against the Potato people lol :)

And now if off to catch some Zzzzzz's
