Video Game Name Generator

I recently participated in the Video Game Name Generator Competion, where the tigsource community took randomly generated video game titles and brought them to life. With the glorious prize of “indie street cred” at stake, I threw together Pro Mushroom Slam in three days.

Pro Mushroom Slam is a game in the vein of those clunky NES fighting games, like Karate Champ and Kinnikuman Muscle Tag Match, before the genre matured with Street Fighter II. I did all of the sprite art, coding, music, and sound effects all by myself; in other words, this means that your ears will bleed.

Made a quick little game for Game Design class, integrating physical die with a digital game. It actually doesn’t work too badly (and is still somewhat playable without the die, though not nearly as much fun).

The best parts are the sound effects, made with the super awesome indie sound tool sfxr. Honestly, I don’t know how I ever got by without it. There’s only so much I can do with Audacity and a Singstar mike.
