Intro
Hey Folks!

My first DevLog ever. Not sure how to structure this. So, here's my take on DevLogging!!

I am making this game (secretly) for my girlfriend's birthday. I have until October 19th to pump this game out. She's been making up this entire world full of mobsters and lobsters and it has been our inside joke for a while now. I want to surprise her and put in all her funny ideas that I can. I can't wait to see her reaction when she first launches the game! I've made a few other games and such with Unity3D, but let's quit the chit-chat. You be sleepin' with da fishies!

Story
You take on the role of a Mobster Lobster. Things have been tough lately in the city of Shellcago. A few tough guys have been messing with your turf. You ain't havin' it! You gotta clean up the streets. Tommy gun your way through the streets and take out Eel Capone, The Kingfin, and The Codfather. If anyone gets in your way, they be sleepin' wif da fishies!

Tools
I'm using the latest version of Magicavoxel! It's pretty nifty!
And I import my .vox files into Unity3D using PicaVoxel! Which is also VERY nifty!  

Progress
I'll be posting silly animated gifs when I have them ready. Such as these fellas!


Awkward cyclops starfish!


Added some voxel buildings, watery death animation, and I'm laughing at the clumsy cyclops starfish, haha!


Eel Capone looks like a piñata chasing a lobster! Haha!


The Good Ol' Days with Eel Capone. And some cyclops starfish minions (they really need to wear some pants).


Boss mechanics good-to-go for Eel Capone!


Coming together!


Cyclops starfish mob!

It looks pretty cool! =D That deadline sounds pretty challenging, but since you made other games before you probably have a better handle on that. I like the character design and animation! And puns.

[Eluardian]

Everything about this is cute as hell. Good luck.

You can do it!

[Tuba]

I approve any games with lobsters

Ben Rock
A parody of my friend. He'll be a voiceless character. If you shoot him, your bullets will fly back at you. And his dialog will just be a series of ..... over and over again.

The Kingfin
Work in progress. Lots to be done still.

[ThunderAwesome]

The Kingfin

Dressed to impress with some other mobsters.

[ThunderAwesome]

The Codfather

Inspired by the godpigeon (from Animaniacs) and Jabba the Hut.

[ThunderAwesome]

Feelin' quite mobbish!

A few of the main characters so far.

[Hitrison]

I laughed hard at 'Shellcago.'  Great stuff!

Glad I could make ya laugh!

Eel Capone's ready!

The Boss mechanics/phases for Eel Capone are programmed. Here's a tidbit of what one of his moves looks like!

And everyone else is enjoying themselves in a T-Pose.

[Tuba]

Loving the puns.

What are you using to model those charming voxels?
