With the death of Adobe Flash, most, if not all of Ucogi's games stopped working in any internet browser. A friend of mine is working on a "wrapper", that would be able to run the game's I made over the years. That said, Ucogi games will have to adapt, or seize to exist. So, I had to think and work to preserve Ucogi's legacy.
I revisited my itch.io account in hopes to uploading and promoting my games. I'm uploading both .swf and .exe files (hopefully the .exe files will keep working in all computers). These games are given at a minimal cost and people who supports us on Patreon receive these games for free.
This month is a special one. It's the 10th anniversary of Ucogi's first Flash game, "Saint Patrick's Day"! That inspired me to revisit and upload the final version of the game here. But that's not all. As part or Ucogi Legacy, I started exporting Ucogi's original art in the biggest resolution possible! This is awesome not only for posters, but for any kind of merchandise! Depending how it goes I may to the same for more of Ucogi's art, but for now I welcome you to Ucogi's Saint Patrick's Store!
Furthermore, Titan has finished Rudy and her transformations. Rudy has
access to very specific places in the map, due to her various
platforming abilities, so now we will be able to finalize the levels!
Also, we finished three new and original music pieces for the game!
So does this mean the game will be released later on this year?
ReplyDeleteYes, that's the plan
DeleteWill it be the full game?
DeleteJust Voms at first. The other characters would need some more work and they will be released probably one by one.
DeleteCool cant wait to play it in its entirety
ReplyDeleteThat sucks dude, I'm sorry to hear the internet obsoleted your games.
ReplyDeleteYeah... It's frustrating when file formats that I despise (like .mov and quicktime) still exist after 20 years, but programs I loved (like Softimage, Director and Flash) die.
DeleteRight now I have no means to make any browser games and I have to adapt and learn new things from scratch. And when a change is forced upon you, usually it's not a welcomed one.
In any case, I try to keep my chin up and do as much as I can. Ucogi can't play on browsers any more and her popularity will decline if I don't something about it soon. I'm glad I found itch.io and a few other sites to promote my work, and I hope I will get enough positive feedback to continue what I do.
.mov has to continue to be supported because most older hardware customers have use it.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the game. I remember backing on offbeatr.com on January 17th, 2014. Keep up the great work guys.
