Posted by thekmanproductions - June 29th, 2021


Hello everyone, I know it's been a long while since I've been active on here and I am deeply sorry for that! I have had some serious life events that caused me to have to step back for a bit. I also temporarily lost my laptop and haven't been able to work on any projects... and also lost a project along the way. Siren Head 64 is complete and has been released. It had a few updates that fixed a lot of issues, but where it was developed with an older version of Unity and also on the laptop that died, updates for any further fixes (if any) have sadly ceased. I have also lost many things like my drawing tablet, due to moving, and many files to current projects (such as WTF Show, ect...).


HOWEVER!


With all these terrible news updates, AMAZING new things are also in the making! I have officially learned the art of HTML5 and Android Games. As well as mastering 3D development and meshing/modeling! This opens many, many more doors to great new projects in the future.


I also now have a new game, similar to Siren Head 64, coming out soon! I am currently looking for voice overs and tweaking a few things (bug fixes, ect..). I am also messing with the idea of releasing music again, though I seem to struggle with getting back into the groove (pun intended) of things. I am also looking into maybe doing more animations, though I no longer have Adobe Flash Studio, so I will need to find some free tools or something affordable if I wish to do that.


So with that said, I do hope to make more content and bring much more to you all! See you soon!

DEAD WELCOMING - UPDATES AND CUTS (Along with Aprox. Release Date)


Hello all who follow my posts and game updates. This is a special update for Dead Welcoming, a horror game I have been working on with my brother. Let's just get the bad news out of the way so that we can discuss the awesome updates!



What has been cut?

With all that is going on in our personal lives, some cuts are being made! I will give a list of cuts below and do my best to explain why! *Please note that not all cuts will remain and may be added back at a later time!*


Full Interaction Dialog

We decided to remove having complete interaction with everything around you in the world with voiced dialog. Reason being, just not enough time and resources to make it happen right now. Though it may be added in later on.


Aaron NPC/Follower

We have been having some issues with this part of the game... Between AI not working properly, broken animations and trouble finding a voice actor, it has worn us thin with this part of the game... Plus, his purpose in the game doesn't really move the plot along, as he is literally just nothing more than a follower! This character does not bring anything to the game-play and has been cut.


Save & Load Feature

It is most expected to have a save and load feature in most games, however, we decided to cut it from ours. The game isn't really requiring it as it is random and really has no purpose for one. We try to stay clear of linear story-line and allow the player to have a unique and random experience!



What are the updates?

The updates are amazing and took some time to work out. We really believe we have a good game in the making and will make for a great experience!


Better Menus, Better Functions!

We updated the menus from the bleak, old and basic UI ... to something more appealing and realistic! It all feels like it's been written in a book, page by page. We also update the Audio Log system, which now looks amazing -- but we'll let you be the judge of that.


Monster AI Updated

Though I can't say too much for sake of spoilers, I will say the AI for the monsters are updated and cleaner. Works better than before... no more glitching around the map! lol


Item Progression

So now each item allows a different change in the world when picked up, so nothing is really the same! We will admit, the only "linear" thing we added was not being able to leave the starting point WITHOUT the book. ;) That's all I can say at this time. :p


Cave System

We added a cave system, though still in VERY early development... YEAH!! :D


Finally...


Easter-Eggs!!

Yep! We added lots of those, good luck finding them! :D



Now, before I sign off for the day... let's talk about release date and what is to be expected!


First off, this will be a FREE TO DOWNLOAD project! We believe everyone should enjoy games together and not be held down by a price tag. Some future games may, but we don't feel we are far enough out there to be doing that right now. Second, we may start accepting donations... but we don't expect anyone to give, so no worries; it won't be required in order to play the game.


annnnd third, we are hoping to release this game to itch.io and GameJolt within the next few months. HOWEVER, we are planning on releasing an early access/demo very very soon! Which may be within the month, going into next month. I will post here as well when that happens so that I can cover all the communities.


Thank you all for your time and I hope you all try out our game when it's released! Happy Trails!

So I have decided to come back to making games in 3D... I took a year off due to stress, time and framework issues... However, most of those issues have been solved and I have took extra time to learn and better grab the software at hand! I had a huge issue with Unity and their updating system... However, they have long since fixed that and I see myself working with it all again. Have been working with c# and animations, coming along very well! Very proud of how far I've come!

Despite my recent terrible game release and pretty crappy content thus far, I am returning with a new mindset! Along with that, I have aquired some new skills along the way. Time has been hard with work, classes and life itself... but, I am doing my very best. I haven't been very confident lately, so I took a break. However, I would like to get back into the game and work on some more stuff. I am not so sure about music as of right meow, but I do plan to work with more games and possibly some animations -- If I have the time...

So I am sorry for the long-time-no-see, but I am going to be working on some new stuff, trust me! :D

I know I have so many things expected of me, I know I have made many promises and announced so many things to come... but things just don't always happen to plan... Due to moving, getting my life together, trying to find work and my mental imprisionment of all the shadows of my demons -- things are not happening. I am sorry to those I made promises to of content, but I do stick to what I said... I will make content soon, but until then I need to get things in my life fixed first. It's top priority.

Please bare with me, I swear.. I am getting there. :)

***UPDATED!!!***


In search of comedy voice actors for new series called "The WTF Show."

It's a random and wacky show based off of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. It stars Sang from Google Sketchup (LOL Don't ask me stuff, okay) and a talking, magical, douche-bag of an Eraser.... (Yep, an eraser! Get over it!)

The show is about a young man named Sang who was looking for a roommate to help pay his rent. However, his new roommate was more than he expected. Now, he must try to live with his new roommate... basically. lol

I have already finished the first episode and just need voices. More characters will come later on, so the search will continue afterwards. (Or I can just add what I need later here. lol)


Characters:

Sang: A young, nervous and shy Asian-American man who needed a roommate to help with the rent.

Randy the Eraser: An ass, always sarcastic and talks over everyone. Seems to be afraid of police and likes to do stupid stuff, thinking whatever it is is good will.

Steve: The landlord, which is also an asshole of sorts. Always thinks Sang is throwing parties. Typically, just an old man with attitude.

Bryce: Sangs best friend, likes to do crazy stuff. Typical frat boy who loves to party and flirt with the girls.

Susan: Sangs love interest, shes a shy and sweet girl who has a secret side to her. She tends to act mysterious and is also very nerdy. She has a quiet voice.

Nancy: Bryce's love interest, she is rowdy and loud. Has a nasally voice and likes to drink too much. She is also a bit slutty, but you can use your own judgement.

Wally: He is more or less like a big brother figure to Sang as well as a personal motivater/coach. Sang looks up to him thinking he's cooler than he really is. Generally a pretty nice guy, though bold at times, he's treated like a pushover by Randy. There is a dark secret about him though....


Audition Lines:

Sang: [FILLED]

Randy the Eraser: [FILLED]

Steve: [FILLED]

Bryce: [FILLED]

Susan: http://pastebin.com/raw/58GJrpv2

Nancy: Link

Wally: [FILLED]


Please contact me via PM if you are interested. I check my profile periodically and will get to you ASAP!

TKZ Productions Announcement!


It is time to make the announcement that we are now making games in 3D and HTML5! It has been a long time learning and waiting to finally have the ability to do this. Our first 3D game will be out sometime next year and it will be amazing! Also, stay tuned to our new HTML5 games such as Pawns of the Hallow. A new update is coming for that soon as well. We must apologize for the slow updates to our projects, we have been on a holiday break and have been wicked busy with updating a lot! However, we promise you that the projects are still in full development.


Message from me, Kevin: Also, updates for The Overseers project are coming. I try my best to get the updates, but being that I only work behind the scenes, it is rather difficult to relay them.


We hope you all enjoy our games and will enjoy the upcoming games!

As you may have noticed in my game section, I have been practicing making HTML5 games... There not as great as my ordinary Windows games, but I'm off to a decent start. Now with Game Maker Studio, I have been trying to make both Windows and HTML5 games. Now, I'm not so great with it now.. but, I'll get there soon! I know I can make it! :D
