Agency Blues 1 & 2: Commentary

I graduated high school and so did the flash games with its final arc, "Prom". Well, that was what I thought, but the game-making itch creeped in so I decided to do a lil spin-off with new and recurring characters. At that time I was starting college, so I decided to add in characters based on weirdoes I encountered. SPOILERS ALERT!

Agency Blues 1:

1. Telly was originally based on a friend I had at the time but we're not friends anymore so she's more of an original character now. Her real identity is most likely a popular fashion magazine/website writer.
2. Dick is based on CJ, obviously. Despite being a pervert his potential for comedy is great! It's also a good excuse to use him as a punching bag. Just for the lolz though!
3. The Paint Killer is based on some dude I encountered in a club (not the partying kind, the extracurricular kind). He's one of those socially inept nice guy incel types and he got on my bad side so I looked him up on social media and found a trove of emo literature. I had a good laugh reading his tryhard edgy fiction. He's been writing since middle school and he STILL hasn't improved to this day. We're talking over a decade of writing here! Anyway, I nicknamed him Emo Kid, or EK for short. He loved writing stories about badass Gary Stus killing hoards of people or monsters with various swords and guns in gory explicit detail, and they all had some tragic manpain story of having their girlfriend or wife or crush dying some way or another. Of course, they had new love interests who eased their manpain (unfortunately their personalities are as exciting as tissue paper). The most notable thing he wrote is "katana-shaped blade". LOL. In the game he's a raven/crow head wearing dude who does gory killings because he feels personally vindicated from other people having relationships. Just typical incel stuff! He's short IRL (yet another reason he acts this way) so he has a hard time finding suits that fit perfectly without tailoring so I made him wear an ill-sized suit in the game too. I would love to showcase his stories somewhere but I haven't figured out the logistics yet.

Agency Blues 2:
1. Yes, I just had to have Ashrav be some debonair 007 parody. It just fits! Though rather than him being a suave spy he's more of an ingenue and attracts all sorts of dangerous women. Like Dick/CJ his character had potential for comedy so I kept him around.
2. Anderson/Ed Gainz. Honestly, I'm chuffed I came up with that name. A bodybuilder combined with Ed Gein? I don't know how I come up with this stuff but I'm glad I did! Anyway, the Ed Gainz character is inspired by him being bitter about girls rejecting him. As I mentioned in his dedicated post he's always saying stuff like "make her regret" and whatnot. In the game it's through murder but luckily in real life it just entails him getting swole. Flawed logic but whatever mains his gains I guess. It's fun bringing back a low IQ musclehead like Anderson but I had to get rid of him just as quick because he's a strictly no-dialogue character and will have no interesting development. LOL!

Maybe these inside jokes fall flat outside of my circle but I also think it's a waste not to share 'em. I mean, I spent time on these games you know. Yeah, the art is half-assed but still! I made them and I'm semi proud of them!

Prom Panic - Commentary

Warning: There are pictures in here that are probably(?) NSFW. I mean, it's not porn or nudity but you don't wanna get caught viewing them.

A lot of wild things happened at prom so I decided to make a game loosely off that. What is fictional and what isn't? Let's see!

1) Spiked punch with mutagens 
I only ever heard of punch being spiked at proms in media - never witnessed this in person. My impression of "spiking" was people putting psychedelics in the punch so I thought why not some love potion instead? It was only later I discovered that the act of spiking punch meant putting alcohol. LOL. Anyway, I decided to put a love (or I guess lust in this case) potion as means to make people go into a frenzy. Of course, Ashrav is a top target - after all, potion or not plenty of people thirst after him. It doesn't work on CJ because he's a pervert and already lusts openly, making no difference. It also wouldn't work on Anderson for the same reason.

2) Dinosaur and cave people running amok
This is purely fictional, obviously. I decided to bring back the "caveman as class pet" joke from Classroom Blitz and expanded upon it, bringing in other prehistoric creatures. This was also necessary in order to trap the students inside the gym after the mutation happened. It's a good thing the dinosaurs are merely mischievous and only want to play after being frozen for ages! After the events of the game, the whole preshistoric gang would probably start a jazz bar. The caveman would be the bouncer and singer, the cavewoman the bartender, and the dinos would serve drinks and entertain. Hmm... I should draw this at some point!

Festival Fury - Commentary

In this post I'll talk about the fictional and non-fictional events I portrayed in the game.

1) Wrestling competition
We start off with a hand wrestling competition with getting dunked as punishment for losing. There was no official competition at school, but there was sort of an informal one so the dudes who worked hard on their gains had a chance to show 'em off. I decided to take it to ridiculous levels and include a dunk tank. As for why I wear a panda costume... It's a secret. Nah, just kidding. Pandas are cute and they are easy to convey when you only use a limited colour palette (i.e black and white).

2) Haunted house
I mentioned it in this post but to sum it up, at some point we did have a haunted house event for a school carnival thing but some distorted individuals thought I was a mole when I snapped a pic of the haunted house layout. It was dumb. I didn't know what sort of spooks they planned to cook up so I just randomly made up some to put in the game.

3) The Ashrav convention
Of course, this is fictional. But his fangirls' fanaticism is real, VERY real. 
The concept of the S.A.P Award is that to fans, his existence is so divine that people would want an award to prove that they even knew him. These are the ranks for the S.A.P Award:
Gold: Be Ashrav's friend
Silver: Be Ashrav's acquaintance
Bronze: He knows you exist
Plastic: You existed in his vicinity
In reality I'd get the bronze award, but for for plot purposes I mistakenly get the gold one. If you genuinely want this, you're a SAP. If Ashrav had a lover, they'd get a platinum one, probably. LOL.
Ashrav being up for auction and the consequent events are crazy and even I don't know how I came up with that. But one thing I gotta clarify is that Ashrav was wearing a collar as a punk thing and not some weird pet play thing. Honest!

I didn't have any particularly fond memories of high school (it's pretty neutral) but I always think back about how much fun I had making these games. It was fun referencing real life events and adding all sorts of spice to them. Even if nobody cares or nobody gets the jokes, it'll be up for posterity and entertainment's sake.

Classroom Blitz - Commentary

After having fun making Mr. Anderson 1 and 2, I decided to make a full length game detailing more about the funny events in high school. Since it's been years I actually don't really remember everything but luckily I wrote everything down on my old personal blog which I am using as reference. 

1) Ashrav
He has his own dedicated post but to sum it up he was a really popular dude with more than a handful of fangirls. You honestly couldn't tell just looking at him - he's very normal (well, as far as I can tell lol). A few months after senior year started, he had a real boost to his popularity and the Carmen scandal came to light. From my investigations it was all because of cheer practice -  the only time where freshmen, seniors and everyone in between could interact freely. Otherwise, there wasn't any opportunity to get to know each other. Fangirls being fangirls, are very possessive; since nobody was sure which way Ashrav swings even guys are their competition - especially since Ashrav is a "bro" typa guy and is very bromance-y with his bros. LOL. 

2) CJ
He's just some horndog braggart that couldn't stop spouting pervy jokes and whatever achievements he got. Technically dudes like him are a dime a dozen but he got on my hit list once he tried to make fun of me. Strangely enough, Ashrav was the one that stopped him (they're friends/bros). When I say he's a horndog, I really mean it. He was always making sex jokes and one time he made one too many during biology class and the teacher called him cheap for being stimulated so easily. LMAO. Another incident I recall was the math teacher using him as an example for a probability question. It went something like: "Find the probability of CJ getting an STD if he had 100 one night stands" but he just went all: "Doesn't matter, had sex" and "I may have STDs but I've got game". Yuck! When Anderson did the no shirt only hoodie thing he participated since he's an exhibitionist. I overheard a girl call him a stripper and he took it as a compliment.
Nowadays he never takes his shirt off or wear tank tops like he used to because he fell off after high school and now he's fat. LOL. Honestly, an example on why dudes should lean into being, well, lean and not bulky, 'cause if you don't maintain it any fat you gain is gonna be very obvious. Of course, if your lifestyle allows it by all means do whatever you want but life's not gonna be like high school with full of free time to go to the gym so ya gotta take that into account. Goes to show that it was kinda pointless for these guys to invest so much in gym gains in high school... just like how generally things don't matter in high school anyway. But hey, don't get me wrong - they get credit for their dedication and discipline for the sake of gains. Beats being a slob. Too bad they didn't invest effort in other things! But oops! This is a tangent. Back on topic...
