Human Resource Machine - Official Trailer #1

[bloodgulchblog]

Sangheili soldier explaining to sangheili civillian that the Covenant has The Machine that can just surgery your body and destroy all your dignity and honor and then you're just supposed to go on like nothing happened, like you weren't just put in The Machine and subjected to The Shame Of It All?

One of the new additions to the build is flagging especially hard enemies. Currently, enemies 1 tier above the current dungeon tier have a 2% chance to spawn. This can mix up the battles to keep players on their toes, and give especially strategic players the chance to earn equipment, and a possible ally, one tier higher than what they'd usually have access to!

However, during playtesting, I got absoutely wrecked by a single monster and I had no idea it was a strong one because I didn't have the chance to scan it. On the suggestion of a friend, if I had big flashing warning symbols on it, I would have been more careful and run away or played more defensively. And so now I do!

It was easy enough to make it yellow, since all sprites are drawn as white to begin with and then a colour blend is added to it in game. The warning symbol is new, but uses the same code as the HP and recruitment UI text, but with an image instead!

YEASSSS I DID IT, i finally fixed this INSANELY annoying glitch, i have this variable called "onwall" and I set it up so that when a raycast on the side is colliding in a wall, and the ground raycast isn't colliding, the player would be "onwall" and when "onwall" the velocity.x isl zero so the player sticks into the wall!!!! this way i could also set up a walljump mechanic! so when onwall and the player jumps yada yada the player jumps from the wall!!

BUT FOR SOME REASON THE CODE DIDNT WORK FOR THE LEFT RAYCAST, it was the exact same code and all the variables worked fine on their own BUT THE SECOND I put them together it didnt do shit,I was shitfaced gonklesmackled, i could not figure out wtf was wrong, and i stil don't, i just moved the if statement to be inide the if statement for the right wall stuff, after an or. AND IT WORKED

genuinly mad, wtf why didnt it just instantly work??

anyway expect some wall jumps soon!!!

HarvesterHarvester (HH) v1.0.0

It's been a while since I posted a dev log! Yeah, long story short, I started reverse engineering Harvester (DigiFX, 1996) a while back and I ended up having so much fun while doing it, that this was the only project I worked on for the past month and some change.

I definitely want to make a more technical blog post in the future, but for the time being here's the quick run down:

This is a tool that extracts game files from Harvester's dat files.

The program works in two steps:

It reconstructs the original disk images that Harvester would've shipped with in 1996

It extracts the dat files contained within those new directories in order to give you full access to all of the game's files (~2GiB in total!)

I definitely need to make a better announcement post later, but I'm lazy, so here's just a link to it on GitHub for the time being.

EDIT: this next part is finally available here on my GitHub profile!

EDIT: New link for the static background (BM/PAL file) converter: now called BMtoBMP!

Hi There! Guess what! I'm back, but... Not with art (i guess?)

I came to do a search for a programmer for a project that has been planned for almost 8 years!

But just this year we started producing its assets and everything about it, But... We don't have anyone in charge of programming the game... (It will be in Godot Engine)

Therefore, because of this small flaw, we will not be able to make a demo of the game, so therefore, I need your help!, I tried it by myself, but I think that only the art is better for me...

NOTE: The Screenshots below are just concept mock-ups, not actual gameplay footage.

So... My proposal (I hope it is convincing, believe me, we have almost nothing to offer... For now!) Is a drawing of your preference (OC's, Favorite Characters) or something like that, seriously, at the moment, we don't have something like... The money or all that stuff... I hope you understand, it's our first project, we're just trying to get started...

If you would like to work, please contact me on my Discord or my other social networks...

Discord: Korisuito

Facebook: Juno KW

Youtube: Korisuito

Please note that if you want to participate in the development of this project you must meet these requirements...

- You must be 15 years or older

- (optional) Know English or Spanish

- Know how to program in GDScript (The Game is gonna be made in Godot Engine, because it is the only engine that adapts to our comforts, for now)

If you have any doubt, feel free to comment below, i'll be answering questions

If you don't meet any of these requirements, or simply don't want to work by x or y reasons, you can cooperate by sharing this so more people can see it, it would be greatly appreciated. :3

A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

Nintendo has just announced that it will discontinue its Gold Points rewards program across the Switch eShop and official Nintendo website.

From 25th March 2025, players will no longer be able to earn Gold Points from purchases.

Points earned before this date will still be usable and will remain valid for 12 months after they've been earned. This includes digital purchases and preorders made on or before March 24, and physical games can still be registered for Gold Points rewards so long as the game is released by March 24.

Anyone who has bought physical games recently, make sure to claim your points before the Gold Point program end date.

No word yet if Nintendo will replace the program with another one, once the Switch 2 hits shelves, later this year.

For more detailed info, visit:

In the demo build of the game, at the bottom of dungeons deep enough, you'll find a unique object that allows you to summon the train boss I've been posting about over the last couple of weeks. (Ignore the fact that I'm still on floor one, I've spawned in a test one for demonstration purposes!)

I also totally forgot to make the object delete itself after being interacted with until today! So since I was debugging it, I thought I might as well show it off to you guys!

I have designed the boss fight to be beatable when you're at the upper end of the tier 1 content (levels 1 to 10), but it'll also spawn even within the tier 2 sectors (levels 11 to 20) and should still be fairly challenging, especially if you're worn down fighting your way to get down to it. The game is quite open, so depending on how you play it, beating it might be considered the end of the demo.

However, the actual "official" end of the demo is after completing all of the tier 2 research , and you'll get a nice thankyou message instead of the tier 2 capstone research description that would advance you to tier 3. For those inquisitive minds, I'll save you the trouble - even if you managed to complete the research and cheat your way to tier 3 sectors and beyond, there are literally no enemies/items/locations tagged as tier 3 within the relevant databases!

I have a big announcement coming tomorrow, by the way, so look forward to that! Until then, thanks for reading as always :)

Hey rhythm game enthusiasts and modders! I'm excited to share that I'm working on an awesome Friday Night Funkin' mod featuring my killer clown OC, Elowen. Elowen is not your typical clown-she's got killer dance moves and a style that's out of this world!

I'm on the lookout for talented collaborators to help bring Elowen to life. We need artists to create her vibrant and unique look, coders to make sure her dance moves are smooth and seamless, and musicians to compose some killer tracks for her levels.

If you're interested in being part of this project, head over to

And, next, also, it is good, while you are walking the road to collect some little flowers and bushes to take some funny bush. Well, flowers are very beautiful and cool in the field. There are no such flowers at your countryside! So, now, they will to be! And, little bush such a fluffy funny and cool, it is growing. You can to see it with your eyes. Eyes catch them.
