Here is the latest long-overdue update of Ex Vitro. My goal this year is to finish this version of the game, so I can finally migrate to a better engine (*cough* Unity *cough*). While I've learned a lot using Game Maker, I think it's severely limiting the things I want to do. So, I've decided to cut short some of the bigger plans I had, and save them for the next generation of Ex Vitro. Essentially, the next update will include the next phase of the final boss, a conclusion to the story, and new character art.

Ex Vitro development is kind of on hold, as I've been putting most of my efforts towards a new game called Syndemic. http://youtu.be/iuLjaGDi2KY http://www.indiedb.com/games/syndemic It's a microbiology-themed action shooter with elements of item collection and puzzle-solving built into it. I'm trying to create a blend of Diablo/Torchlight type of adventuring plus shoot-em-up style gameplay. I'm hoping to include some semi-educational elements in it, such as exploring microbiology ecology and human diseases. It's quite a bit different than Ex Vitro, but I hope you give it a try. I've also got an experimental funding site going on Indiego

Finally started 'tweeting', as the kids call it these days. https://twitter.com/exvitrogame Will probably post new screens or occasional progress updates on it. I'm considering scaling back the scope of the full game, because it's pretty unlikely I'll complete it as I once envisioned. While I initially hoped that 0.34 would be more like a third of the final game, I now think it'll be more like half or maybe two thirds. I think I'll condense the remaining zones, and focus on making some cool bosses to make a good ending section. While I enjoy making games, I'd need some kind of funding to hire the people to help me make what I'd really like
