Bring back the chickens!

  • In my first and previous post in this game dev log entry, I had written that I wanted to do a game which was a collection of simple retro games. Unity released a new major release (2019.3) while I was putting the initial project together, and I…

  • Well, I'm making a game . I'm spending the next few weeks on making a small game to showcase the gamedev log feature on tsumea where any member can create a game entry and other members can post journal posts with art, music or just development…

  • Just a test #2. Still working on the new section.

  • So, I got a Commodore 64 when I was in the 4th grade. It came bundled with a Rolf Harris picture building program on casette tape which never loaded properly but from what I could tell by its box cover, you could build pictures from a selection…

  • Yes, the site looks very different and I've had to prematurely switch to this new theme that I'm working on for a few reasons, the main one is that changing certain aspects of the site to fit the new theme will affect how the old one looks for…

  • (this is just a test, please ignore this entry)

    Here is some of my old work.. the first pic is of a 3d model of a human head I was working on about 2 years ago in 3dsmax, using nurbs. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't model a head with…

what is a game without chickens........

my only gripe about 'halo' -- no chickens

my only gripe about 'vice city' --no chickens

although i have never been a counter-strike player...

..... my fondest memories in my youth ....... kicking and throwing the chickens in zelda 2...
good to know that they have even bothered to put a distance measuring device for chicken kicking in 'Fable'
my highest kick yet is about 8 metres..... i think...

(just a disclaimer to anyone who may get the wrong idea... i have worked in the poultry industry before...
from laying hens to catching them and shoveling thier crap ...... i have more experience with chickens than computer game making ....i could carry them ten at a time! .. not joking either.... have experienced amonia poisoning from working with the fumes from thier excrement and even spent a night in the watchhouse for an unpaid fine realting to a driving related offence whilst still wearing my poultry working overalls.... almost 9 hrs without a bath straight after the midnight shift.... i have always strived to be gentle and understanding when handeling live chickens....and buy only RSPCA eggs in support of animal welfare... and although i have chopped off thier heads and plucked thier feathers in the past... i maintain that i only did this out of practicality and not for any other reasons of mal-intent or any other sadistic rational.)

Damn, haven't played CS:Source yet so I didn't know they had removed them. That was always cool about the cs_italy map, running to the marketplace to be the first to kill the chickens... Ahh the days when CS was decent to play...

yeah, i havnt played CS:S yet but i saw a video and their absence was one of the first things i noticed! i dont play CS much but when i play that state i always seem to be distrated into shooting them. it's great fun.

i would be even better in CS:S though if they made them run away from you so you could chase them! (then they could give away your loaction too which would be cool)
