Well when it rains it pours, and we’ve got another game for y’all!
This one we started earlier in the year for a jam we did with Samurai Punk, and then got the opportunity to work on it more for a tournament at Fantastic Arcade!
Check out the Fantastic Arcade Bundle here too!
Anyway, it’s similar controls to Regular Human Basketball, but you’re building a gargantuan romantic date for godzilla. Get into it!

I’m back for my traditional December post with the games we made with the SeaDads and neglected to share here!
The most recent first- Overcooked meets M*A*S*H in our entry for Ludum Dare 43. Dave did code/sound/design on this and Barney jumped on board for animations and effects.
The only Powerhoof link here is that I did sounds, but it’s got pirate babies, so I HAVE to put it here. Also, it scored first place for Ludum Dare 42!
Lastly, one I did for Global Game Jam back in January, fight off a briney menace using morse code (and maybe learn some along the way). I even made a custom controller for this one that I’m pretty proud of!

I know the NBA seems pretty regular in terms of their portrayal of basketball, but do you ever think “hmm, just not regular enough!” and storm off in disgust? Of course you do! Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered:
I guarantee these are 100% true and tested authentic humans. No giant mechanical death machines here!
It’s so close I can taste it on my organic human lips.
Tastes a bit like raw spaghetti, or the taste we all feel when opening a window on a hot summer night. Puts me in the mood for wishlisting!

We’ve recently been trying out a service called Parsec which allows you to stream a game and have friends play along remotely, and we’re happy to be able to give it the Official Powerhoof™ Severed Thumbs Up of Approval®!
Parsec lets you stream a game and have friends watch and play along with their own controllers. Latency was my biggest worry, but it wasn’t a problem when we played, certainly no worse than our dodgy indie implementation of online multiplayer would have been!
If you want to try it out yourself, there’s more details here.
In case you hadn’t noticed the fancy widget, we now have an official discord server. Come chat to us about things, or find someone to play Crawl with!

After his plane crashes on a remote stretch of Papuan coast, civil engineer Ian Forrester is left stranded, hungry, and alone. He must survive the untamed wilderness, wait for rescue… and pray his dark secret doesn’t catch up to him.
Originally made in two weeks for Adventure Jam 2018, Alluvium is another adventure in the same vein as Peridium. Thanks go to Louis Meyer again for the music, and Adrian Vaughan, and Sally Beaumont for the excellent voice acting!
Now we’re on Switch we’ve gone 100% family friendly. No more ancient terrors and harrowing tentacled beasts, just wholesome fun, good cheer, and a jolly old time playing video games with your friends!
Okay, might be a slight touch of endless cosmic horror still in there…

Get yer mitts on some more games we’ve game-jammed (and neglected to post here already).
A fanny-pack appreciation based shooter made by Dave and his fellow SeaDads for Ludum Dare 40. Including art from Jacob Janerka who made the amazing Paradigm
Barney struck out on his own for Ludum Dare 39, and made a creepy game about an orphan who just wants to be loved, with multiple endings and lots of cinder-block munching!
And for the same jam, Dave and the SeaDads made a clunky mech-warrior job about a mechanized priest protecting his flock, with overly complicated power management controls!

We have our Switch version of Crawl all polished up and ready to go, launching just in time for Christmas woo!
What a pleasant surprise to have Nintendo put out this perfect little console for local multiplayer!
Switch is such a great match for Crawl, and I’m stoked to have a game coming out on a Nintendo console – 12 year old me would totally lose his mind over this, haha 🙂
Thanks for all the support, we have such a great community around this game, and I hope you have a blast with Crawl on the Switch!!

Making Crawl in Unity involved a lot of going back and forth between different objects in our project. When say addding an enemy’s attack, you’d want to be going between editing the enemy, it’s attack animation, and the damage effect it spawns. Since the project has so much stuff in it, I made a little tool to help with going back to previous selections. There’s some more fully featured things on the asset store but I just wanted something super simple and lightweight.
Anyway, it’s just a single file, feel free to use/modify it however you like. I’d love to hear if it’s useful for you too!
Save it as /Editor/SelectionLog.cs in your unity project, then hit Window->Selection Log in the toolbar to open it.
Then every time you select an object, it goes to the top of the list. You can lock items to the top, and click the magnifying glass to highlight the object in the project without selecting it (useful if you want to drag it onto whatever’s in the inspector).
