I'm going full-blast for 2026. I've been working on side projects for the last few months, but I'm getting back on point tomorrow. Plans include shipping four games to Steam and creating a full timecard system for a client (MPP builds things besides games, too). Wish me luck!

I've got all the additional features I wanted to add to the game (countless secrets on every stage, little sidekicks you can unlock that will stay by your side, better background settings, and even an entire store system). Now I just need to place brains (currency) throughout...

Still working on ZombMe, but had to build and ship two different line-of-business apps to three different platforms first. I'm also just finishing up a lot of boring details, so not a lot to show...But there are a LOT of new secrets, graphics, and action sequences...

Still working on ZombMe--kinda going sideways with progress...But now you can search for and find unique helpers in each stage. Find all of them in a stage, and you can have them buddy up with you for the rest of the game!

I've seen how popular New Game+ is with new-fangled games, so I'm gonna spend a couple days arranging ZombMe's save data structure so I can add a New Game+ feature to it. Got the menu set up today--next up is splitting up the game progress data from the player data and overwrite prompts.

Finished up the new Super Zombie mode, Hoard mode, and Human mode (including a new reverse game over screen). Also got the new Store working (other than placeholder visuals). And BTW, Zombies apparently use brains for currency.

Hit the ground running today on ZombMe. As if the game didn't have enough gameplay features like special suits, sidekicks, elemental power-downs, rideable characters, and many types of jumps, it now has a SUPER zombie, HUMAN zombie, and zombie HOARD powerups. And an entire Store, too.

No, this is not a name entry screen--it's my character select screen.
Just finished day 19 of my short-term game, Asteroid Survivors. I have all the Asteroid and * Survivors gameplay mechanics in, and I've implemented 30 playable ships and 30 weapons (+evolved forms). Next up: levels.

I needed a break from the game I was using to take a break from my day job...So I started my new idea based on two games that I've been playing a lot of: Asteroids Recharged, and Sweet Survivors. Four days in, and I have an entire game cycle implemented. I think I'll spend 30 days on it...

For me, the hardest thing with building and publishing a video game all by myself is…promoting it. But I think I finally figured it all out: sponsor a car in a small town’s demolition derby car. Better than the Super Bowl!

Ok, since I started up a new LLC, I'm going to change this page's identity to use it (Mighty Panther Productions) rather than just one of our games (ZombMe)....Especially since I take breaks every so often to work on other games that I'd like to post about here (to be continued.....)

PAX is over, but the ZombMe fans are only getting better. Kids love the visuals (though I'm told their eyes aren't fully developed?), and hardcore gamers love discovering all the secret gameplay mechanics I threw in the game...They kept getting faster (almost ran out of prizes!)
