SO I GUESS I'M MAKING A BEAT 'EM UP GAME
this whole thing originally spawned from me discovering a program that lets you modify characters in Streets of Rage 2, both graphically and... gamely. i wanted to insert gatsby and myself into the game, but it was just too limiting for what i wanted to do. so i just said screw it and decided to make my own game.

it's going to feature me, as well as some of my closest friends. right now, it's only in the planning stages, with no programming, but i'm slowly working on the art and music. i'll occasionally update this topic with new sprites, mockups, game concepts, and--eventually--backgrounds.

OF PLUMBER AND CRAB, ARE
ENJOYING A PEACEFUL RETREAT IN
THE OUTSKIRTS OF VERA CITY.
JUST WHEN EVERYTHING SEEMS
FINE, THE TWO SPOT RED SMOKE
RISING FROM THEIR BUSTLING CITY.

UPON THEIR RETURN, THEY
DISCOVER THAT VERA CITY HAS
BEEN TAKEN OVER BY A MYSTERIOUS
"MR. Z!" WHEN CRAPPY AND GATSBY
MAKE THEIR WAY TO THEIR
APARTMENT, THEY DISCOVER
GATSBY'S LITTLE BROTHER, LAMMY,
TO HAVE BEEN KIDNAPPED!

WITH THE POLICE FORCE
CORRUPTED BY MR. Z'S RULE,
CRAPPY AND GATSBY HAVE NO OTHER
OPTION BUT TO TAKE THE LAW INTO
THEIR OWN HANDS. THEY RECRUIT
THE HELP OF THEIR CLOSEST FRIENDS;
TYLER, A CARTOONISH MAN MADE OF
RUBBER; AMBER, AN AMBITIOUS
WRITER; STEVO, A HALF-CYBERNETIC
WRESTLER; AND LOAF, A SLOTH
WITH A TRAFFIC CONE ON HIS HEAD.

TOGETHER, THEY TAKE TO THE
STREETS TO SAVE VERA CITY AND
LAMMY FROM MR. Z'S EVIL GRASP.
