I picked this up at a thrift store yesterday not realizing it was a Harmonix game. Fun seeing people you know in the instruction manual credits! #RandomGameSaturday

Here’s the Japanese copy of Pokémon White I picked up in Tokyo around the time it released. This was before simultaneous worldwide launches for Pokémon games, so it was a novelty to play it before it released in the US. #RandomGameSaturday

I bought a 32X at a thrift store a few years ago and found this gem while searching for exclusives. I just think the title is hilarious #RandomGameSaturday

Put together a lil video for my LEGO Pokémon entry!

My LEGO Joltik design is a finalist in the Pokémon TCG contest! Vote for it here and it could become a real set: beta.ideas.lego.com/challenges/a... #LEGO #Pokémon

Here are some more high-res renders. I picked Joltik because I didn't think it was popular enough for anyone else to pick. 😄 Pretty happy with how it turned out!

A close-up of the top half of the card, prominently featuring Joltik

A close-up of the bottom half of the card, showing the "Bug Bite" attack for one Lightning Energy and 30 damage, weakness, resistance, and retreat cost, and the electrical details (outlet, frayed wires)

A shot of Joltik removed from the card, as an optional "play feature". Its legs are fully posable

Here's a fun project I've been working on the past few weeks: an entry for the LEGO Ideas Pokémon TCG challenge! beta.ideas.lego.com/challenges/a...

And here’s the loaf from last week. Probably could have used some more proofing time, but overall pretty good

I started making sourdough earlier this year as a “fun” new hobby. Here’s the little whole wheat loaf I baked yesterday!

Lastly, here are all 266 pet photos can be found in the final game. This was my favorite part of the Kickstarter, and I'm so happy we could memorialize everyone's pet(s) this way!

A 19x14 grid of the 266 photos (mostly cats, a couple dogs, and 1 lizard) that were submitted to be included in the game. They appear randomly in rooms and are added to an in-game collection when found

Going through my old files I also found the original logo I made 😄 (final version for reference)

Chris Chung@chrischung· May 27

And here are some comparison shots, from the prototype to a few months later, then to the final game

A before and after shot of different prototype builds. The top is the original and the bottom is the updated version with better toon shading and outlines

Another before and after shot of different prototype builds. The top is the original and the bottom is the updated version with better toon shading and outlines

A collage of screenshots, ranging from the original prototype, to various improved versions, and finally a couple shots from the final, release version of the game. The primary visual improvements are mesh detail and toon shading

Today is the 10 year anniversary of the release of the original Catlateral Damage on Steam! Here are some old screenshots of the original 7DFPS game jam prototype (from way back in 2013)

Another gameplay screenshot of the prototype, this time from on top of the bed looking at the bedroom from the opposite side.

A gameplay screenshot of the prototype with a permanently outstretched paw and a view into a single bedroom. The shading of scene is flat, with simple color textures (before the final toon shader was implemented)

The title screen for the prototype, with the name "CATLATERAL DAMAGE" and the instructions "You are a cat. Swat stuff onto the floor. 2 minute time limit."

I’m very proud of the croissants I made this week! This is by far the best batch I’ve made since I started practicing last year

Wil had surgery yesterday, which means last night and today has been a lot of babysitting and taking silly shark cone photos

Share a random game from your collection on Saturday! This one was tricky to find, but I had an idea to start collecting “meme games” and this felt like the way to start. I can confirm that these names are actually in the game 😆

I also collect video games and related memorabilia, like to cook/bake (this year I’ve been learning how to make croissants), and have two cats named Wil and Lyn. Very happy to chat about any of those in more detail 😄

5 bookshelves filled with video games, consoles, and accessories from many generations of gaming (Atari 2600 to PS4)

I never introduced myself! I’m Chris, an indie dev who made a silly little cat game and is currently figuring out what’s next. Most recently I worked at Fire Hose Games on an unannounced project, but have done QA, project management, and miscellaneous dev work throughout my 12 years in the industry

Apparently Saturdays are for posting a random game from your collection? Here’s my copy of Donkey Kong for the Atari 2600, from back when Nintendo put their games on other company’s consoles

This is Lyn and Wil!
