Planet Umi On Haitus

I am rather uncomfortable in saying that the development of Planet Umi must be put on haitus, especially since the game has been taken so well by the online community. But why must I put on hold this beautiful creation of mine? Well, because school is taking over my life and taking over your wife and it’s cutting my time like a knife. Yep, life’s a bitch, and then you die.

But once I have some time, I am planning to implement some new shindigs into Planet Umi which I believe will take the game into a new direction:

  • Enemy creatures will appear during key events and attack your helpless, supple Umis
  • You must build/train Fighter Umis that will counter these enemy attacks
  • Also, I will probably be implementing new background music, even though the Chrono Trigger soundtrack is just..so..awesome. I suppose there are some copyright issues that I do not want to be caught up in. This just comes to show that you cannot always get what you want, because the Man will lay his righteous hand upon your naughty buns.

So until next time, stay cool, bitches.

Version 0.5.8 Released!

Go sound the pearly white conch and inform the elders, for Planet Umi v0.5.8 was just released! Special thanks to Lee Choi for the sexy Japanese Umis.

In this version, I’ve added many things:

  • Sound effects are now added to the game
  • Some balancing of the first intro level
  • New level
  • New Umi characters

Now, migrate your silly buns to the Download page and go download Planet Umi for free! If you’ve got some feedback, that would be totally tits.

Zen Planet Umi

So for those who are at all interested in the development of Planet Umi, I am currently working on the next level. I incorporated many themes from Zen Buddhism and Japanese art. Below is a screenshot that I’ve just captured:

Oh yea, I am also schemin’ on implementing sort of fighting/defending capabilities for the Umis.
