So, my last 2 submissions have been elstevo's Gay Pride Dog (Something I made in a 30 minute car drive) and Shark Valentine (Something I made in 30 minutes while watching Zombieland) And what's funny is I like the engine I made in 30 minutes for Shark Valentine better then the engine I actually used in Shark Mountain. I guess that's because I started Shark Mountain almost 3 years ago.

Best Friends Forever 3 is 100% complete, at this point I'm just waiting for the sponsor to get back to me. It was supposed to come out last Thursday but I haven't heard anything from them. I would like to hope someone is anticipating it. We made a lot of new things for it, and quality control was turned on. As far as I can tell I've stomped out most of the bugs in the previous versions. Since I made all the levels myself I know that they all work. And JackSmack is right, level design is no joke. There's about double the amount of levels in this one then there were in BFF2.

Shark City is coming along. The only thing I'm worried about are the accusations that the game is a ripoff of Miami Shark. Just to try to clear any of that up, Shark Mountain and Shark City were ideas we came up with 3 years ago, sitting around a lunch table in our junior year of high school. We sketched out ideas for Shark City and Shark Mountain years before we heard of Miami Shark, and we don't really plan on stopping with the Shark related games just because someone else had a similar idea.

I'm also working on a game with JonBro, and I think it's gonna be something great. I don't really want to say anything more about it, at least until I get more done. It's gonna be a full sized game, kind of like Crash Landed, but I'm putting a lot more time and effort into it. It'll be better then some of that stuff I pumped out last year. Trust me.

And I'm trying to get a website going at www.thesharknation.com. It's not 100% done yet. Later on in the week I'll post some stuff there about Shark City and the game me and JonBro are doing.

Yes, that's right. I'm whoring my website out. Here goes a screenshot from the game.

Jonbro is like my favorite animator!

Really? I think he's crap.

Shark Valentine is like Deathworm. By which I mean the real Deathworm, not the fake ripoff one.

Is the Jonbro game the one where its like cave story except youre a pig or whatever?

Nah, it's a different game. Kind of like Knytt Stories except you're a little girl with a bow.

I tried to think of a funny retort for Luis's comment and came up with nothing.

That screen shot looks really nice D:

Hey, it's ALK here. Pretty cool stuff you got going there, and I'm curious about that game you're doing with JonBro...
