From the Dojo where our artists collaborate their emotions and their feelings into their beautiful art, we bring you another taster of some of the ideas behind Office Guy.

He has a beard.

He eats donuts.

He wears a tie.

He wears a suit.

He has a briefcase.

He Drinks Coffee.

Whilst I have been very busy with GCSE Exams, the Christmas holidays are here and I am ready to get some solid work done on the combat system and Artificial Intelligence in the game.

I hope you look forward to seeing more of the progress on Office Guy!

I wish you well fellow followers -

That’s all for now!

I now present to you a work-in-progress clip from ‘Office Guy’ -

Plantz are cool :)

Screenshotted (How is that not a real word! BAD DICTIONARY) here is a little clip from the interactive menu scene, where each cubicle represents a different option, entering a cubicle will display a button linking to that option. Figured it would be more interesting that a ‘normal’ menu.  :)

That’s all for now!

(As unusual as that sounds, it is part of the thesaurus under ‘hello’)

Office Guy is the codename for my current iPhone/iPad game project.

Office Guy can do anything, can be anything, can use anything he wants, or to be more specific, everything he can imagine.

Punch that! ... that, that thing...

Office Guy, as long as you have the intellectual properties of imagination superior to a fish (they say fish have combustive air intake valves), works in an office.

He seems to get rather bored, or distracted. Or something along those lines. What does he do during these periods of apparently blank mental state?

PAH! What kind of a ridiculous idea for a game is this anyway?

Let me tell you…

There will be staple-guns, Packs of Jet™, robots, zombies, [insert another stereotype people group], explosions, S.W.A.T, animals, bad guys, robots, explosions, meat cleavers, scoreboards, big scary bosses, explosions, hamburgers, coffee, magical USB sticks, vehicles, punching, shooting, eating, burning…

Lots more to come!

More on that later -

That’s all for now!

I have some interesting news for those of you interested in being interested in interesting news.

While this experimental/prototype whacky wat-cha-ma-call-it game project dubbed ‘Scrap’ as far as I was concerned now has a direction. It has the breath of life, a purpose in this ever-increasing world of interactive video art.

It’s not a very official name, but its better than Scrap.

Office Guy. 

I don’t want to reveal too much too soon, but I can tell you it is going to be awesome.

I am right now focusing on refactoring and writing old and new code to adapt for this new, renovated redesigned restructured storyline.

I look forward to releasing more details as progress continues :)

That’s all for now folks!

After some delays and struggling to crunch some code while I do my everyday work – I have made some significant progress.

-I’ve put in a basic projectile firing system, and a melee combat system

-I’ve successfully created a 3-D perspective in a 2-D engine (Much more dynamic than a platformer)

-Jumping, shooting, hitting. (Including jumping and walking across objects ‘in 3-D’)

-Artificially Intelligent Bodies/Enemies that follow you whilst moving around each other in a crowd-like fashion

-The character, objects (Crates, boxes, etc..), and the AIs all have health and take damage from melee and bullet hits

-The character has fully interchangeable parts. For instance I can replace the hat with one of the users choice, and the head/face, the torso, the weapon, and the legs as well. (Will add a backpack for storing stuff, Dynamite, animals?, food, ammo, metal parts)

-Created some new graphics and little animations so the this prototype looks a little neater

Then, on my TODO list right now:

-Background layers with parallax scrolling

-Foreground layer for foreground elements (depth)

-Make AIs attack character when close enough (melee)

-Make AIs that fire projectiles

-Make AIs die (Quite important! I don’t want to leave all the enemies as zombies when this is finished)

-Lots of other stuff that I can’t think of off the top of my head :)

Brainsss...Hrraaah

That’s all for now folks – you’ll have to wait longer while I actually make that long list of stuff I just invented. Hahaha…

I have soon returned to this nonsensical void to fill it with some more nonsense.

While the game is in very early stages of development, I figured it would still be nice to have at least a somewhat ‘peak’ at what is going on.

This is a little screenshot I took of moving the character around the screen through my 3-D space (2-D with depth) -

The artwork is also early in development – in other words I just threw it together in a few minutes so I could see what was happening on screen.

Be on the lookout for new information – be sure to watch my YouTube Channel, like my Facebook Page, and follow my Twitter Feed for all the latest updates.

That’s all for now!

You seem to have stumbled across the void of the internet into this unusual and potentially interesting development blog!

In order to formally announce the creation of the title ‘Duckwit Labs’, a division of Duckwit Productions -

To give a brief introduction, Duckwit Productions ‘Duckwit Labs’ is the game creation and distribution division of Duckwit Productions (Copyright © Duckwit Productions 2011)

While men sat in front of computers with wits developed to the extent of a duck’s brain may not be the most approachable idea of creativity, productivity and entertainment – we guarantee you won’t be disappointed! (It is probably not even clear to you what we are even doing and what you might be disappointed with, yet, but hold in there and just enjoy the ride *cough* I meant ‘read’).

Right now we are focused completely on mastering a unique iPhone game experience, to get a picture of what we are doing, I’ll hint that it is loosely similar to Castle Crashers (Game-play/action-wise).

For some detail about who I am read the About page.

Be ready to hear more information on our zany developments in the near past *cough*, I mean future.

That’s all for now!
