Below are all the updates that happened in January. Believe me when I say this, but I am very proud of what I have accomplished this month.

Akuto: Mad World
Remember Akuto? Well I enjoyed making and playing it so much that I decided to make it into a full game. The full game will be called ‘Akuto: Mad World’. This will technically be the second game to be released under Hut 90, even though the first game is still in development. So a little background about Akuto. Since Ludum Dare, I have spent most Sundays working on improving Akuto bit by bit. Now, with enough improvement, I can say it is ready… for Steam Greenlight. It still is not ready to be released yet as quite a few things need to be updated but nevertheless, go vote for it.
Below are links where you can find Akuto: Mad World on the web and the two Steam Greenlight trailers for Akuto: Mad World.

So after a 9:1 ratio of composers to illustrators that applied (82 composers, 9 illustrators), I have finally managed to narrow it down to the individuals who will help me improve Retool. Liz Rainsberry will be composing the music for Retool and Kimberly Parker will be creating the promo art for Retool.
Other than that, Retool is making good progress. I am still hoping to release it in the next few months but this will all depend on QA testing and how that turns out..

Year End List: 2015
2015 was a year with more ups than downs. So many things have changed for me over this past year, so many things I have enjoyed. Now, as I have done for the past two years, is to make the list of greatest things I have enjoyed over the past 365. But before I start my list, I want to say that 2015 was the year of Hip Hop. This will go down as one of the golden years. So many classics were released. So much good music. It was unbelievable. Now back to the scheduled list.

Retool Needs Promo Art And Music
I am looking for a concept artist (or any 2D artist) that can create promo art and a composer to create music for Retool. If you are interested in either of the positions, then read on what I require and how to apply.

Retool December Update
There weren’t many updates this month, partially due to the holiday period and partially due to me taking part in Ludum Dare 34. Below you can find all the changes I made to the game.

Akuto
This weekend was Ludum Dare 34, the first Ludum Dare where there was a tie between two themes. This was the first, and last, game jam I took part in all of 2015. It was fun since I did quite many things. First was that I made a 3D game for a jam (I took part in the jam which is 72 hours long instead of the compo that is only 48 hours long). I even completed the game and it is fun. Short, but fun. You can download the game from GameJolt, and vote for it on the Ludum Dare website. Below is some information about the game.

Retool November Update
I have decided I am going to change how I post updated on my blog. Instead of doing weekly updates (or random updates), I am going to compile all of one month’s updates I have posted on social media and other platforms and post them on here at the end of every month. I hope that everyone will enjoy this new format. So here it goes.

A Motorcycle Named Lucy
Lucy (the motorcycle I bought) has been stored for its winter hibernation. So now it is the perfect time to talk about my first five months have been with a Chinese motorcycle (tl;dr: they have been good).

Let’s Talk About UI Functionality
It has been quite a long time since I last talked about Retool. The last update that I made about Retool, excluding any award mentions or artists search, was in July. That was over three months ago. I was going to do a video update today, but I think it would have been too boring for what I was going to talk about, which is Retool’s UI (User Interface) functionality.
