House Life Adventures Update

It's been awhile since I've posted anything. So I thought I would show you what I've been working on for the past couple of months. For toughs of you that follow this blog you'll remember that awhile back I announced the beta of my Platform game "House Life Adventures." After which several people tested the first level of the game. since the betas release a lot of aspects of the game have been changed. Difficulty levels have been dropped, check points have been added, and the screen now follows your character when you jump (instead of having the screen suddenly jump up when your character hits it) , and sound leveling has been changed. Other than that I have added 3 new levels to the game, and an over world.

The first level is the original beta level called "Mungul Jungle." Much of this level remains the same. Some background graphics have been updated to match the new levels overall look.
The second level is called "Cliff Top Panic." This level focuses on the players ability to grab on to ledges to reach new heights.
The third level, "River Side Dive" is all about water elements. In this level the player must learn to deal with waterfalls, and creepy spiders.
The fourth level "Lake Bottom Tarrance" is your classic underwater level. This level is by far the most challenging due to the fact that the player's attack ability is disabled.

So there you have it the next 3 levels of House Life Adventures. Right now I am working on the fifth level "Beach Side Frenzy" and the end of World Boss. I'm hoping to have this new beta uploaded by the end of the month. So look for it's release soon.

Cartoon Update: New Short, Phone Call

Favorite House Life Character 2009

It's that time of year again. That's right it's time to choose who is your favorite House Life cartoon character is. So hurry and vote, the polls won't be open forever.

Side Scrollers

Don't you miss the the good old days? The days when you would just sit down pick up the SNES controller and play for hours on end. Games like Donkey Kong Country, or Yoshi's Island. Every now and again I'll go back and replay my favorite childhood games, but lately I've been working on making my own side scrolling adventure game.

It was'nt easy coming up with the actionscript to make it all work but some how I figured it out.
Anyway, since I'm feeling nice and I want my hits to go up (Nudge, nudge, wink, wink) I've decided to write my own side scrolling adventure game tutorial. As I was making my game I searched for as many flash tutorials as I could looking for some of the more complex features that a side scrolling game would have and was dissapointed to find few if any tutorials on the subject. So I've decided that in this tutorial I will supply you with all of the knowledge that I have on the subject. The tutorial will cover everything from basic character creation, movement, object collection and counters, level progression, level objects, and yes even a pause screen. So look for this tutorial starting tomorrow. part one will be ready to read.

In House Life news, the Beta demo for the game is available on the site. So if you want to try it out Click Here

New Ideas

Well it's been awhile but I have some new pictures that I wanted to upload. The one to the right is a final version of one of my newly developed characters. As most of you have already noticed that I like super hero stories. So I thought, why not make my own. It's still in the sketching phase, one day you'll see some comics about them.

As for other drawings I been doing. This next one is the first of some of my House Life drawings. I hope to create some more downloadable pictures in the future.

House Remodeling

Sorry I havn't been faithful in writing every week. but this time I have a good excuse. You see as of last week we started remodeling the house which means everything and anything needed to be moved out. And that includes ... Yes the computer. So there hasn't been much progress made lately on the House Life cartoon, but I have been learning some cool action script that I'll use in one of my upcoming games that will be avalable on the web site.

On a random note, what you you guys think about the new Hulk movie? I've heard that you sould wait at least 20 years or so before you make a remake of a movie that flopped. He does look more realistic in this one though. I guess we'll have to wait and see. (Maybe even until it hits the dollar theater. I don't wanna get ripped off twice!!!)

IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!!!!

Well after many backbraking days of working out kinks and banging out dents. Rewrighting codes and then rewriting the rewrites and rewriting the rewriting rewrites and... well... you get the picture. Anyway The House Life Web site is finally up and running, and ready for your viewing pleasure. The Website can be found at http://www.houselifecartoons.com/ So go ahead and check out what I've been talking about for the past year and a half.

Favorite House Life Character 2008

Well the votes are in and the winner is... Jordan!!! Congrats on being the fan's favorite character. Sorry for not writing sooner, for the last month I havn't had the internet waiting for the DSL to be installed but now we're up and running again. As for updates, the House Life web site should be up and ready at the end of this week or so. So get ready for the toons!!!!! I know I've been saying this for a long time but this time I mean it.

Who's your Favorite

Hi ya'll this week I'm asking for your vote on who you think is the best House Life character. I'd try to be an impartial judge but I thought that you guys would be better at it. So the polls will be opened until the first of next month. So send your vote in now. Because you know that this is extremly important, and the fate of the world depends on it.

Burried Treasure

Good news everyone of you House Life fans out there. The new installment of the House Life series has been writen and storyboarded, and the animation will begin in a few weeks. For all of you waiting for "House Life: A Day at the Park" don´t worry it hasn´t been canceled only delayed. The final animations should be finished near the end of 2008. As for the new episode I´ve decided to call it "House Life: The Hunt for the Burried Treasure" This idea has been brought up before but just to give a little over view the episode starts when Jordan decides to go hunting for treasure. I won´t spoil the fun so all of you out there will just have to deal with the antisipation for a few months sorry.

It´s Been Awhile

Hello all of you House life people out there. It´s been awhile since I´ve been on this thing. Sorry about that. Well you´ll all be happy to know that a new House Life cartoon is underway. The story boards are being drawn as we speak. It will be sure to make you giggle or laugh or whatever you want to do. Seeing as I don´t have any pictures to post at the moment I´ll just leave you with this little note. Yes I am still alive and will be for awhile... Check ya next time.

Oprah the treasure hunter

This entry is dedicated to Bob. Afew months ago he told me about a dream that he had. It had to do with Oprah and exploring caves and treasure. So I thought, "What a great idea for a cartoon!" so here you have it the first look at one of the new house life adventures. Who wouldn´t like Oprah being chased by bears.

Wait Just a Cotton Pickin Minute

Hey dudes I´ts me again like always. Things have been slowing down a bit out here drawings continue but nothing big has happened lately. This picture here is from the Digimon cartoon. Izzy´s being evil again, what a bad kid, I won´t give away everything, but just this small part.

Anyway in other news the House Life cartoons have gotten little or no love for the past few months so I thought it time to bring them back into the spot light, after all the web site is named after it. So in the next few weeks you can expect to see some more news about the House Life crew. So until next week this is all there is. Enjoy it, gak at it, love it or what ever your mind can come up with.

The New Year

Well, here we are, the year 2007. It´s good to see that some of you have accepted my invite to join the blog. Hopefully this will make the idea process go faster. Because two heads are better than one and a bunch of heads is like freakin amazing!!!

Now for the weekly up-date, More progress has been made on the Digimon cartoon. It´s hard keeping up with the story every day. The first few episodes are being written now as I have accidently jumped ahead to the middle. For more info on that in the first few episodes only Sora and Izzy are involved but the other chartacters join in later on in the story. The first episode will intale what´s happened since season 1 ended and how Sora and Izzy get sent into this alternete universe. It will also include the "missing links" that they illude to in season to but never really answer.

As for the House Life cartoon, a few ideas have popped into my head. Something about Izzy wanting to be a Rapper, Michel Jackson, and a water logue. Hmmmm... and for the Nicole cartoon, tidbits from DDR, Donkey Kong, Zelda, and the Matrix. Maybe a dancing chicken, or Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi. Remember to send me your Ideas for the cartoons. And for the Mike Garn chronicles, alot of funny one liners and some turkeys.

As for now the video game progress has been halted but I´ll come back with more pics and info on the subject. But as for now cartoons are the focus. Well that´s all for now and in the words of Bob "HOUSE LIFE RULES!!!!!!!"

Merry Christmas you Filthy Animals...and a Happy New year!

Hi all just thought I´d drop something on you this christmas season. Well this week some more progress has been made on the new digimon cartoon (fyi: progress=drawings) And if you´re still wondering I still havn´t come up with a name for it yet. It´s hard naming cool stuff. Just when you think you have it, you figure out that it´s not cool enough. So it´s still in the works. And to ilaborate a little more on the subject, this cartoon is supossed to take place between season 1 and season 2. You didn´t think that after season one the digidestend were finished did you? As I said before this cartoon is ment to be darker than the other ones. I pull out the kiddie stuff in this one. This time it´s the digidestends turn to kick some serious butt!! So sorry guys there are no digimon in this cartoon. The digidestend also gain powers in this cartoon. Cool huh? These new elements are sure to make for some seriously sweet fight scenes.

And hey, if any of you have any Ideas for the name of the cartoon make sure to post them in the comments box. I think it might speed up the process.

The other cartoons have been coming along well. I still need to finish the last House Life Cartoon I was working on about a year ago. But I can´t come up with any Ideas right now so if you have any they will be apreciated. Remember the theme is: crazy things that would happen at an amusement park. or any funny one liners you have would help.

So thanks for your help this Christmas season. Hope this gets you excited for 2008. I know it sounds like a long way away but times flying already. Speaking of which I´ve probably got to fly so until next year. Peace!!!!!

A USB port, finally!!

Well here they are the pictures I´ve been promising you, sorry it took so long but hey what can you do. Well anyway I hope you like them.

This first one was drawn by Mike Garn, and is entitled, "I know Chief... I know." This drawing was what started the whole Halo: The Mike Garn Chronicles in the first place. I like it and I hope you all do too.

Here´s one of my drawings of the Cheif. I used a chalk board on this one, the cheif may look like this in the cartoon maybe even better.

This drawing is of Sora this is the outfit that she will be wearing in the new cartoon. ( still don´t have a name for it.)

And finally for today, a small glimpse at the up coming House Life RPG, you can see some of the characters that you will beable to play such as, Kay from "Android", Dixie Kong, Mario, Sora and Izzy from my new cartoon, Banjo and Kazooie, and last but not least Master Cheif.

So there you have them, just a few of the things I´ve been cooking up. I hope these get you excited.

Video Games galore!!!

Hi again, it´s your neigborhood friendly Bangerter!

Sorry I don´t have any pics up yet. I still haven´t found a computer with a USB port.
So I thought this time I´d tell you about some of my video game Ideas.

The first one takes the House Life cartoon characters into the gaming world. I call it "House Life RPG" I know, not too original of a name but whatever. Anyway, the game stars Ray and starts when he sneeks down stairs to play some late night video games, when suddenly he gets sucked into the TV. The game play will be like Super Mario RPG on the super nintendo (I love that game!!) The graphics will be about the same because I´m only going to use Flash for this one. It will also integrate different modes of game play (2D modes mostly.) Be looking for this game on the House Life web site in 2009.

Another Idea that´s going to have to wait awhile is a 3D adventure game which I like to call... "Vilo" This game is about a little grasshopper that gets mixed up in a big adventure. You won´t see this one for awhile, but I will say that designs are being made.

By the way I should have some pictures up in a few weeks but nothing is certain. Just keep checking (f.y.i. wednesdays would be the best since that´s the only time I´m on the computer.)

Well I´ve got to fly, but I can´t so I guess I´ll walk. Later!

New Cartoon Ideas

I´d just like to let you all know about some new ideas I´ve been cooking up out here.

First off, I´ve always wanted to make a cartoon about Halo. But how could I make my cartoon different from any other Halo cartoon? Simple!! the answer, "Mike Garn." I introduce you to "Halo: The Mike Garn Chronicles" Just so you know, I had some help on the Idea end of this cartoon, most of the jokes come from Mike Garn himself (That stud.) I should have some concept drawings up in a few weeks. And for thoughs of you who were wondering, Mike Garn is an Elder in my district here in Almería.

The other of my exciting ideas uses characters from the digimon universe. I havn´t come up with a name for it yet, but the concept behind it involves a mix of both magic and technology elements. So for you digimon fans out there who liked season one, this cartoon is for you. Don´t be suprised to see that this cartoon is also darker and more serious than the tv series (Not for kiddies.) I plan on creating up to 21 episodes (to start) and much more to come. Be looking for concept drawings pretty soon (or as soon as I find a computer with a USB port.)

As for the Actual House Life Web site it will be at least another year before it´s up and running. So that link on the side doesn´t work. Sorry. So for now you´ll just have to live with this blog since it´s the only thing I can get my hands on at the moment. And I´ll be sure to keep this thing updated as I come up with ideas.

Hope that was enough to feed your appetite for awhile. So until next time. Later Baby!!!!!
