Who thought of putting grizzly bears that sit on rockets and go flying to the moon to embark on an animal race? Randall did. It's guys like Randall that deserve the benefit of having a good game developed, a good engine, a good artist and programmer. But they get stuck with what they make do. And that makes some people (me) mad.

Randall you're the greatest and you rock, thanks for all you're doing!

LOL

David !
Gosh, you guys are great.

I'm not sure what to say.

Hey, but I'm sure glad Peter was watching me, because I need watching a lot.
HA HA! Because, I'm just a poor dog sinner like everyone else is.

Hey, but let me share with you this scene in development here.
Let me share some good times with you guys, okay?

HAHA! I was laughing watching it. All the players are going to get shot out of cannons in this new race level.

INTRODUCING THE CREATURE CANNON!!! :0 TA DA!

We can use Bethany the Bear as a reference.

First the player walks near the cannon.

Next, the player enters the cannon.

And then a voice is heard --> GO !!!

And then KABOOM! lol

What do you guys think?
They fly right over the ark roof. I just have to put the custom cameras in now.
I'll have to put in the ole custom ARK CAM ! LOL

It should make some people laugh?

Thanks guys.

You will. Just check back in a few months and the entire works BETA version will be downloadable
All the of the players get shot. It should make for lots of fire, smoke and excitement? Hehe

Anyways, here is a story that I typed up recently for Hannah the Horse and her moon trip.
I plan to put it up on the future game site as all the players have their theme songs and stories like this.

The goal is too minister a message through music, action, stories and fun with humor.

-------------------------------------

Creature Stories:

The story of Hannah the Horse and the crows:

One day Hannah the Horse was racing on lots of green grass.
Suddenly she noticed that lots of crows had come out. “Look Cain!”, she declared, “The crows have come out to greet us.”,
but just then she noticed that the crows were indeed flying overhead, but they also were pooping lots of poop from above.
As the noise and stench came from above, she shouted aloud, “Quick everyone!” “Let’s run into this cave over here!”.

Then Hannah noticed that the cave ending was a cliff that dropped down to a deep river far below.
Agggh!, she screamed as she fell down. “Oh those nasty crows”,
she said aloud. “If I could just be on the moon, then there would be no more crows,
because crows don’t live on the moon!”

Hannah’s Moon Trip:
On another day, however, Hannah found herself on a rocket and then afterwards on the moon itself.

While on the moon she heard the faint sound of a bird. It was… It was crows! The crows were on the moon!
Yes and their crow poop were there also again, but she tried hard to avoid it.

Hannah Prays:
After the race, Hannah asked the Lord about the crows.
“Lord? She asked, “Why were the crows on the moon?” “Crows don’t normally live on the moon, right?”
Then the Lord God spoke to Hannah the Horse. “HANNAH, said the Lord. I PUT THE CROWS ON THE MOON.
DO NOT BE MAD AT THE CROWS, FOR THEY ARE ONLY A SYMBOL OF THE TRIALS AND TESTINGS THAT OCCUR IN YOUR REAL LIFE.
YOU MUST OVERCOME ALL THE OBSTACLES THAT LIFE MAY BRING YOUR WAY AND ALSO TRUST IN ME THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY AND YOU WILL BE A BLESSED CREATURE.

And that is exactly what Hannah the Horse did. She trusted and praised the Lord all the days of her life.
One more thing Lord, Hannah prayed aloud. Now that the race is finished and we are standing here on the moon,
then how shall I get back down to earth again?

Then the Lord God spoke again to Hannah the Horse saying:
DIDN’T YOU SEE THAT’SPACE SHUTTLE THAT I PROVIDED FOR YOU UP ON THE MOON?
COM’ON HANNAH! WAKE UP! SO, GET NOAH NOW AND ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND BOARD THE SPACE SHUTTLE AND BLAST OFF BACK TO THE EARTH,
AND OH, ALSO, HAVE A HAPPY AND FUN JOURNEY. J

“Yes Lord!” Hannah happily shouted and she quickly obeyed.

Hey Guys,

Thanks a ton for the ideas.

Let's see, hmmnn rocket powered umbrella's! Yeah! I like it.


Lately, I just hired this guy at the link below to help me make the last level.
He is also making more models and art for it. He's a real pro.

http://www.m3dd.com/

He's good and a Christian guy too.
If anyone here needs models, he can do it. lol

So, by God's grace we can finish this thing.
LET'S DO IT FOR HIM!!!

Randall...

I wasn’t going to mention it… not that it’s important at all, but do you think such boosters will really be needed to launch off of the moon?
You would think, at the most, a simple rail could guide it up and the shuttle use it‘s own power, or even a jet on a rail carriage for a little starting momentum which may be all that would be needed.

That's why the bear needs a reverse pogo stick. It doesn't bounce up; instead you try to jump and it sends you face-first into the pavement. i used to have one of those as a kid...

I'm too shy and cannot comment, but let me share with you guys a recent story that happened here.

A Friend of the Family:
Strange enough a Christian friend came over to visit recently. She is a leader in her church.
Well guess what? SHE CALLED ME A GENIUS ALSO!

Yeah not joking. lol This is weird.

Her husband has a massive brain tumor and is dieing of cancer right now.
The doctors refuse to operate on it anymore.

I decided to show her the game in development. It was hard to make her laugh.

I showed her the creature train ride and the train crash.
Also, showed her the free-fall sequence and the big waterslide.

I showed her the earthquake and elephant stampede, the exploding balloons.

Hey she did laugh a little when seeing those. Some more than others.

BUT !

When I showed her the players all running ahd hopping onto their rockets.

The NASA guys says: FIRE !
And then the rocket sounds and the smoke and all the particles flying.
With the different chase camera view angles.

Well, she just broke down and laughed so hard!
She just LOST IT! I mean, she was laughing so hard, she was out of control man. Wow

Then she said it!
She pointed her finger at me and said YOU ARE A GENIUS!
And she kept saying it over and over again. YOU ARE A GENIUS!

Afterwards and after she left, I was just thinking about it.
If I could ever help somebody like that, who is going through massive serious life issues to laugh like that, then it is worth it. Amen?


Have you guys ever heard of ISAAC AIR FREIGHT?
http://www.isaacairfreight.com/

Issac Air Freight is a comedy team that acts out fictional stories that are funny and entertaining to listen to.
But, they are soo funny.

Well, why not do this in a game? Right?
Fictional stories that can help others laugh and also minister to them. It is good.

Talk to you guys later,
Randall...
