Comments (0)

The day is finally here! After 3 years of hard work, Straight Bullyism is DONE and playable on SnubbyLand.com and StraightBullyism.com! I'd love to get some feedback (via comments or email) and make sure everything is working/optimal before I release SB around the net. Also, there were a bunch of other things I wanted to have done for today, but since I hurt my feet and am just finishing up highschool within the next week, I'm going to slowly release these things over the next month or so (hopefully) instead, while I go through physiotherapy and finish highschool.

I'll try get do these extra things done within the next month...

Info Pages (strategy, walkthrough, making of, etc.)
A Desktop Wallpaper
More Promotional Images
A bunch of minor upgrades to Snubby Land

Feel free to help me out and spread SB around the net (just please don't submit it to any major sites), and send me your feedback/bugs. Thanks much!

Enjoy!

A Month of Work LeftBy Stevie on 12.07.2011

After 3 years of on and off work, I've finally finished three levels of Straight Bullyism (not public yet), and all that's left to do before releasing the game is finish up the final cutscene, Beta testing, writing some Info articles, and a ton of tiny misc stuff. I'm finally done all of the difficult animations and programming, and now I'm on the home stretch. If I work hard on finishing up the game while juggling highschool, I should be able to release it in a month (early January). I'll be sure to give an exact date soon.

I started working on SB about half-way through grade 12, after The World's Hardest Game became a success (such as by winning the televised Addicting Games Showdown in 2009). After getting really sick with Mono and missing over a month of school, I decided to drop out, move out of my dad's apartment, and fund full-time development of Straight Bullyism. I had no idea how much time I would end up investing in the game, and how many setbacks I would run into along the way, both game-related and personal. I can't fully explain it and I doubt anyone could understand, but I'll give it a shot when I get around to writing the Making Of page.

It's been a while since I updated this blog, mainly because I've been posting regular SB development updates on my Snubby Land blog, and I don't want to just copy and paste them here. If you're intested in the making of SB, check out the Making Of page, SL Blog (mainly the Animation and Projects sections), SL Work Videos and/or my YouTube account.

SB Beta Public! Play Now!By Stevie on 03.13.2011

Edit: Beta Closed

Finally the game is bug-free and balanced enough for me to release it for a public Beta test! This is a big deal to me because I've been working on the game on and off for around 2 years, and this is the first time the public is playing it! Go ahead and play the game, and it would be great if you could give me some feedback and fill out the below survey. The game will only be playable for a few days, and then you will have to wait for it to be done.

Play the Game

Give me Feedback

If you have Beta tested Straight Bullyism, please help me make the game balanced by filling out this survey. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Level 1 polls...

Level 2 polls...

In case you missed the Beta testing and the game isn't out yet, you can check out this video of several clips of me playing different parts of the first 2 levels.

I will try to get the third level done within 3 months and release the game permanently! Also, a fourth level will hopefully be added later.
