A Quicky and the Pico Project

Posted by Moosh - March 20th, 2012

Firstly, I want to thank everyone who posted really supportive comments on my last post. Seriously... It has really lifted both my spirit and motivation... Thank you <33

With that said, I don't want to take too much of your time, so for those who were interested, I'll just quickly run down the games I've been working on since I got my computer back. I plan to finish things now so I'm only working on two major projects. That and I'm working on a fun little thing with EmptyGoddess (who will also do awesome custom pixel artwork for you for cheap!) which I hope you guys will enjoy :) Also... I have news about a "Pico Project" for those who liked the Pico Sim Date series, so skip everything else if you just want to know about that.

(Oh and also I now have a twitter! If you want to see constant updates, I plan to tweet more progress on these projects :D)

1) ------------------------------

"The Sensei"

You take the role of a "Sensei" of a clan as you must train and teach your students wisely, slowly growing an unstoppable army for power in Feudal Japan. As you choose how they train, they grow by raising their individual strength, dexterity or spirit. Choose wisely however, because your students will grow specifically to what you teach them and into specialized job classes.

While your army grows, you also build your clan town, where you can build facilities in which they can learn from, such as dojos or temples. In order to fund your town-building, you send out your men on missions to earn coin, however you have be smart on who you send. You don't want to send a clunky samurai to do sneaky espionage or a pacifist monk into a heated battle zone. This game is a test of leadership and wise decisions to how awesome of a Sensei you would be.

(BTW, does anyone want their name in the game? You can be one of the students :3 It can be anything vaguely name-sounding like "Moosh" as long as it's not something like "SuperNaruto420" or some shit like that.)

2) ------------------------------

"Wittria" - (also know as: "What it Takes to Ruin it All")

So, if you hated the world enough to want to destroy it, how would you do it? Would you rig yourself into becoming the President and force World War 3 to happen? Or would you learn the ancient arts of the Necronomicon and summon a dark deity that would ravage humanity through horrific terror? Or how about become the CEO of the most addicting fast food chain and spreading your shit food through out the world, causing everyone to die from extremely high-cholesterol-induced heart attacks?

Well in Wittria, your only goal is to do just that, and to learn What it Takes to Ruin it All. Of course, destroying the world is no easy task, and there is much much more to this game than that. All I will say is that I like to think of this game as "a Simulation of Evil".

3) ------------------------------

The "Pico Project"

So it still amazes me that people still ask me about Pico RPG (AKA Pico Sim Date 3)... And I want to show my appreciation to the fans of the series by making another one... but the thing is... I forgot what the first two games were about... XD

It's also due to the fact that it was a game heavily based on Newgrounds, and I have been out of touch with Newgrounds for a while now... So then I thought "Hey, maybe these guys can help me out!".

So here's my plan! How about we try out the new "NG Project System" and make the new Pico Sim Game together? :D Of course, I will end up doing most of the work anyways but all I'm really asking is to see if anyone would like to help write scenarios, dialog, characters etc. So really, anyone who is interested and has an imagination would be able to join. (I also wouldn't mind help with backgrounds and such though).

So does that sound cool? .... I'm actually not sure... XD If it does sound interesting to you, please send me your thoughts and we'll see how things go. But seriously..... I'm really not sure about this haha... XD

-----------------------------------

Okay, so this really isn't a quickie, but whatever. I don't think I have much more to say right now so I'll just leave this as it is for now. Again, if you want more updates, just follow me on twitter and please tell me what you think!

- Much Luv <3333

The Sensei and WITTRIA sound awesome! Is The Sensei gonna be something similar to NG's Finest? That game was fun as hell! And if you need a name, my username is up for grabs :3 (as long as you take off the ridiculous StYllIZaTiOn I regret using).

Also, is the Moosh Tutorial 3 sitting on your back burner somewhere? I've been waiting for it since the teaser shots a while back. Hope you have fun making the projects! Can't wait to see the progress you come out with!

Moosh 2012-03-20 01:00:51

Yes! The Sensei is what I wanted NG's Finest to be. This time, there is no deadline (like Pico Day) so I have more freedom to make it the way it should be done ^__^ Hmm... Your username might not be human name sounding enough... although maybe I can find a way to make it work!

Haha, would you still be interested in a 3rd tutorial? After thinking it over, I was afraid that my art is done really differently so it might be hard to take my style and use it in your own style... But I shall think it over again!

But seriously, you're pumping me up to work on stuff so hard right now, thanks bro!!

nbburns 2012-03-20 07:48:23

1) The Sensei sounds awesome. I enjoyed NG's Finest and it sounds like a more updated version, with less NG. How about using Aito as a name? :D
2) I shall enjoy Wittria, as I do enjoy a good world destruction, and would like to see a game that makes you work for it.
3) I would love another Pico Sim Date, and would like to help out with it when I have the chance.

Moosh 2012-03-20 07:48:23

It is definitely more than just updated, and unfortunately much less NG... XD Aito sounds very fitting actually haha.

Oh yesss, it will make you work hard for it. Destroying the world is not that easy! (Despite what most Final Fantasies and RPG tell you).

And okay! I'm still in the process of gauging the interest for it, so we'll see how things go first (:

FrozenFire 2012-03-20 10:53:30

Your eye for graphic design is pretty impressive. Both of these games have really effective layouts for pretty much all their screens.

I'm starting to focus on menu designs so I'll probably look at your work for inspiration.

Moosh 2012-03-20 10:53:30

Thank you! <3 Your comment actually means a lot because I've been really working hard on making my GUIs both intuitive and fitting in their styles :D

ero-chigan 2012-03-20 16:38:11

SWEET!!!!!!! i cant wait to play all your new games its good to have you back too!!!!XD!!!!

Moosh 2012-03-20 16:38:11

Yay! It's nice to be back too!!! Feelsgoodman <3

nsdvjp 2012-03-20 18:31:16

I'm really excited to play WITTRIA in the future :D! So far, all of your simulation games have been extremely addicting. Oh, and my other account names go by "darkvolt", you said you wanted names for The Sensei? (you can use it if you want to :D!)

Moosh 2012-03-20 18:31:16

Haha thanks! I love simulation games myself, and I'm just glad that people find my own games addicting ^__^ <3 As for the name... do you happen to use a more human-like name? Like a name that you would see a real person have?

Freakster00f 2012-03-20 19:06:25

Freaking awesome man, can't wait to play them ^^

(Sometimes I wish I had a Sensei to help me on my drawings)

Moosh 2012-03-20 19:06:25

Well I wouldn't call myself a Sensei, but you can always ask me questions if you need (:

MexicanNinja 2012-03-21 02:06:14

Moosh,

Everything looks really promising bro. Sensei looks like the spiritual successor to NG's Finest. Put my name down in it :3 . Witteria just looks awesome. You already know I'm a "nice" guy but this option to be evil for a while... it's just too tempting x). And as for your Pico project, well for any of your projects really, I'll help you out with the writing. PM me as usual bro.

-Joel

Moosh 2012-03-21 02:06:14

It pretty much is! I think it will be fun to see a name like "Joel" among a bunch of people with Asian-esque names XD

Haha, I wonder what you would do to destroy the world... :P And alright! I still need to see who is interesting in helping out, but if there is enough interest, you would be one of the first I'd ask for help :3 <3

LotusFlower 2012-03-21 04:24:09

I can't wait for these games to come out.

Moosh 2012-03-21 04:24:09

Me neither! :D

Safst3r 2012-03-21 15:38:49

All these sounds awesome :D Can't wait to try WITTRIA!
If chu could put me down as a student in The Sensei the name could be Safi :3

Great to have you back :'D

Moosh 2012-03-21 15:38:49

Okay, Safi sounds good.. *adds to list* (:

And tyty, feels good to be back <3 :D

alittlepinkfreak 2012-03-21 20:39:18

I'd like to be one of the students. Instead of using my username you could try Kipani (which means Tiffany in Hawaiian). I'd like to help you with your Pico Sim Date game, but maybe you could assign each of us, or a group of us, to a specific thing on the project. Like a team or person for animation/sketching, a team or person on storyline, etc. It might be easier for you that way. Idk how to do animation, but I could help with storyline :) good luck!

Moosh 2012-03-21 20:39:18

I didn't know Hawaii had translations for specific names... XD Either way, Kipani is a lovely name... although I hope it doesn't matter that there are only male students in the game haha... (It's because it's kinda hard to animate and redraw many job classes for both genders... I try not to be sexist... T__T).

And that sounds like a good plan to organize! I doubt there will be many non-writers though, but splitting into groups is probably a good way to do things. But first, I need to see how many people are interested before anything... :P

alittlepinkfreak 2012-03-23 04:29:37

lol. It doesn't matter to me if it's for a guy and I found that translation for my name on a website. The internet isn't always trustworthy, but it still sounds cool :D.

Moosh 2012-03-23 04:29:37

I agree for both of those things XD

Kenmadn 2012-03-23 16:55:19

1.The sensei best simulation game i ever heard and if u would like a name you should put Ken or that Madness guy.

2.Wittria Wow sounds like a badass smokin game you have to please make that game i mean dude your art is awesome!You remade the joker into diffrent colors and personalities.

3.Pico RPG i would love to help you but im REALLY bad at making art and my body shakes by itself even when im asleep and for some reason i write really badly. I wish i can draw like you but people like me have dreams that cant be done because of my stupid body likes to shake.Will i can help you by lets see....Oh you can make the shop owner new and make the old shop owner married to a woman.Hope this helps

(Warbears rule)

Moosh 2012-03-23 16:55:19

Haha it would probably be Ken. It also sounds pretty Japanesey already haha.

Ahhh... I hope people don't think I'm stealing the design for the Joker or something... You can be much more than just a crazy maniac in the game... (but you can if you want!)

Hmmm the old and new shop owners married? I don't really remember them... I might have to go back and replay... XD

hdxhh 2012-03-23 22:27:26

I thought you died im glad you picking up ur projects "pico sim date 3". I find ur idea to be a good one so good luck on ur successes.

Moosh 2012-03-23 22:27:26

Thank you (: and no I'm still alive haha...

Amarki 2012-03-23 23:06:38

Hmm, for the students, wanna consider 'Amarki' as a name? And it's nice to see you've been making progress, wonderful work! I look forward to what you have to offer.

Moosh 2012-03-23 23:06:38

That's quite a unique name! And I will try my best :D

ghost118 2012-03-24 23:09:25

all three of these projects sound terrific! id like too put in a name or two into the name hat for the sensei. one would be imetara for a female. the other would be bonic... generic name for a male.. i think..
also.. not trying to say anything bad but.. just looking at the other side of the coin... wittria might "accidently" cause someone to think like that... but i think thats my emotions coming up or something. anyway good luck moosh

Moosh 2012-03-24 23:09:25

Unfortunately the students are all male... (hard to draw and animate for both genders... >__<)

Haha might accidentally cause someone to think like that? ... I think I already think like that :P

Kiit 2012-03-25 02:26:19

Well, now i am pretty sure that SHIT GOT SERIOUS!
3 PROJECTS ONGOING? Damn moosh, you have balls!
I suggest a Raikuryu of a name :D
sounds cool, i guess.
Anywho, keep your pace and do the bast you can, as we all know it is PRETTY BAD-ASS you whole work.
Again:
glad we have you back.

Moosh 2012-03-25 02:26:19

Nice name! Fits very snuggly with the theme... :3

Yeah... I try to focus on only one main project to do the best I can with it, so I will keep this pace :D <3

ShinobiEx 2012-03-26 21:34:11

DAMN! 3 projects at once? Good luck bro, I know I wouldn't be able to do this, but in the end, It will be worth it dude (: Also if you could add "Aketchi" or "Mitsuhide" as a name that would be cool. Anyway, keep it going man!

Moosh 2012-03-26 21:34:11

I hope it will be worth it in the end... XD

Cool names bro :3

jcamleo 2012-03-28 02:08:29

All of these games sound pretty chil, (is that slang still hip?) and I'd like to throw in a guy named Johnson.So uh, there you go. Ok. Bye.
Love,
Me

Moosh 2012-03-28 02:08:29

I know I still use chill as slang! (but I'm not really hip). That name will be interesting among all the japanesey names... XD

RaiseTheOof 2012-03-30 00:03:31

Moosh!! I'm extremely glad to hear that you're back to making games. I've been you're fan literally since the end of 2007 (I had to do some research to remember how far back lol). Each one of your games has been a personal favorite of mine, and I always looked forward to the next. At one point or another I switched from NewGrounds to Kongregate, but every few months I always made sure to check back to your page to see if anything new has come out. In all honesty, (hoping not to sound weird or anything) but you're one of the handful of game developers to inspire me to try to make my own flash game. Needless to say that it never came to be, but that's besides the point.... lol. All in all, I'm extremely sorry to hear that you went through a rough patch, and I'm extremely grateful that you pulled through. Most importantly though... These games look amazing. I'm sure they'll be among my favorites once they come out. The concepts are original AND fun, which is rare in many modern games. Just too bad that you won't be making any female students, I would of been honored to have one named after me :P
Looking forward to the future!
~Dani
(...Well, I guess my nickname is similar to a guy's name.. So does "Dani", "Oof", "Oofie", or "Danieeru" work with you're theme at all? Obviously feel free to tweak it or decline :P)

Moosh 2012-03-30 00:03:31

That's pretty far back... haha o__o"

Orly? What happened? You know, if you want to make something, or do anything really, you have nothing to lose, so just keep trying. If you need any kind of help with making flash games, I can help (:

But thank you for your kind words! And I try not to be sexist! I SWEAR!! x__x" There are 20 classes in the game, each with 10 different animation with at least 5 different frames.... and i have to draw them all lol.......

Oofie sounds hilarious, definitely going in XD Dani works too haha.

shurikan238 2012-03-30 20:24:07

Moosh is finally back! I kind of figured it was problems with finding a working computer to compose flash on, but it would have been nice to have gotten an update from a friend's computer or something that you weren't dead and were just down a computer. Anyway, enough with that rant, my thoughts on your projects are as follows:

The Sensei : This game seems like something that would consume hours upon hours of my time, considering the RPG/Tactical fusion is really intriguing for me, especially if you do it right. I'm glad that each character will be individual so you can actually invest time in one person, rather than each as a whole, that'll be really good for character development, even if there aren't any lines of dialogue specific to character, and personalization of the army. It almost reminds me of Fire Emblem, which was a game I played the Hell out of. PS, Names that you may consider are Raizou and Escanor, these are my most used Usernames that are human-esque in structure.

WITTRIA : My God, I want this to be released so badly. This idea is just Genius in my mind, because it's a prospect that nobody seems to explore. Yes, there was the game "Pandemic" that explored armageddon, but with this, the choices will seem more personal and fun to play with, being able to see what exactly your actions do to the general population will be sure to spur me on toward eventual victory, if wiping out humanity can really be called a victory XD.

The Pico Project : Do you really need to check for interest? I've been waiting since Pico Sim Date 2 came out for a third. It didn't seem resolved, and all those teasers you released only made me want it more! If you whet our appetites for a game that wont be coming out, it'd be a slap in the face to many of your fans pre-moosh-dark-age. If you need help compiling ideas, there are sure to be some people who want to help. I would too, if I had any kind of dating experience, but sadly, I can't offer advice on a topic I myself know nothing about. *Sweatdrops* Either way, I'm glad you're back in the game again Moosh and I'm looking forward to so much more coming from you!

Moosh 2012-03-30 20:24:07

Ohh yeah I could've definitely done that. Although, since I didn't have a computer to work on flash with, I just ended up focusing on school, and not really thinking about NG and stuff... sorry >__<

Well I hope I'm able to do that RPG/Tactical fusion right! I hope that even though you end up controlling a big group of students, you do still feel like each is an individual. Btw, those are some pretty awesome sounding human-esque names haha.

Haha well thanks bro! Is Pandemic the flash game about the spread of a virus? And haha yes isn't it ironic... how evil villains see destruction as "victory". I guess some men just want to watch the world burn :P

Lol! XD Well, I'm trying to push the game more into "Pico RPG" than "Pico Sim Date 3" so that it's a game much bigger than just dating. So even with lack of experience in one field, I'm sure you can make up for it with much more ideas/experience in something else!
