Quick demo of the Humongous Entertainment-style game UI I've been putting together.

✅ Mouse pointer changes based on directions you can go or things you can interact with

✅ Main character is constantly bouncing when he's not doing anything

✅ Cursor turns into a direction arrow if you can drive to another game room

@sean That's looking like a damn good parody. Going to make it a fullblown game?

@trinsec Thanks! It's largely just an experiment to figure out how these older games solved certain design problems, like how to make a character talk and blink while continuously moving around.

But, I've always wanted to do a "grown up" version of some of these games, which deal with subjects like the loss of innocence or the disappointment of the real world.

I'm hoping to make a few really short games that imitate the style while putting Beep-Beep in gradually worse and worse situations.

@sean I think you might be on to something here. I mean, PuttPutt was like.. uh 90's? People who played it then are certainly adults now, and it might hit them harder. It'll be interesting to see how this turns out.

I'd say... please continue with this branch of adventure games. What you've shown so far with just this one gif already looks so great.
