Hooked Pain

Hooked pain is gonna hook you in with its 5 different games in one (nice pun ngl). each game following a different person/machine story. Some games being faced pace and some being relaxed cozy game junk. Some games story being simple and some needing a 20 page paper to explain its story.

Game 1/Shattered Spore
A rogue lite top down shooter about four mushrooms on their journey to meet their Father and leave the cycle they are in.

While on your journey to your Father. Their are three dangerous types of enemies that will fight you. The flesh enemies dripping with blood as they come towards you. The machines, made from hard metals carved out the earth, with no mind for themselves. The mushrooms wishing to deceive everyone for their own gain. These three types will either work together to destroy you or fight each other. While fighting (or fleeing from) these enemies you need to watch out your surroundings. Some times parasite worms and bugs will get inside you. When this happens you need to enter your mind and get rid of them. While fighting these enemies also remember that you have a hunger and sleep bar that decides how much/how well your attacks/actions are.

The things above make this game seem hard and painful to play. The good thing is that you have 5 different objects you can throw at them. ranging from a blob of parasites to a full on gun. If fighting is not your thing, you can always date someone to fight for you. ranging from flowers that come from a bloodline that hate bushes. To a giant machine with a heart beating with love (or blood). Still if you aren't the type to fight, This game is multiplayer so get your 3 other friends to fight for you.

One last note, Ima be straight and say that irl I kind of don't like them parasitic worms. that's why their are going to be multiple settings to "de-horror" the game. From making parasite worms "less nasty" to making spiders not exist (kind of)

Game 2/High-tech Peril
Play as palm with his little robot buddy Michael. On their grand quest to find some tomboy chick that Palm saw long ago. Did he see her long ago (most likely not). uh, play the game and see if Palm finds this chick or give up trying.

Explore the great island of Peril and go to the grand cities like. Central Metro, the greatest way to get around the cities on this island. Maybe go visit Egg York and experience the great life of a simple city. If you just want housing, A Part Away has all the housing you ever need. Maybe you want to visit power h- wait that city sucks. Maybe visit the smaller towns like Turtall, the town our buddy Palm is from. 

The great thing is that our buddy Palm was given a tool that lets him do moves based on energy sources. With the main energy abilities he was given being. Water for the water mills. Wind for the wind turbines. Solar for the solar panels. Geothermal for the geothermal plants. then Nuclear for the nuclear plants. With each of these energy types he can do 4 different moves, Up moves, Across moves, downward moves, and finally energy abilities (moves). Still these aren't all the combining of moves since your emotion also decide how a move will work. An angry dash will be farther but less predictable. While a sad jump will be weak and slow

Game 3/Melting Firebox
You do not know who created you, why you are sentient, or why you have only one arm that is made of wood. all you know is that you must escape the lab and figure out who Dr. Clay is and what HFL deal is (like seriously HFL what is your deal stop that). For the people lazy to imagine what this game is like. Think that BioShock and ultrakill had a daughter that was born with a steam engine heart pumping all the time. 

While running through this laboratory, their will be many scientist that will dislike your idea to escape. The great thing is that some random person is giving you modified power tools to kill these guys. Still if your CPU does not like the idea of killing someone, switch over to another part of the body. With the ability to switch between 4 play styles. Heart for conserving energy with the downside  of dealing less damage. Mind for the ability of saving ammo by hacking your targets. strength for finishing off the strongest of enemies while making your energy consumption be a ton more. Then finally soul, the worse and the best of all the modes.

sadly some people don't use the best measurement system ever (imperial) so I added support for other measurements. Temperature has Celsius and kelvin. meters for distance and area of stuff. some other measurements I forgot about will be their also. I can't let my meter buddies be left out, love ya

Game 4/Talented Michael
A machine with a heart of cold steel helps their inventor make food at 2:43 AM. Who is this machine inventor or why do they make food at such time like that. The only way is waiting for me to make this game. I talk about this in the closing info but for this year (2024) this game is getting no work done. Also this game is like 20 times smaller compared to the other games

Game 5
One of the founding scientist of a large company lives a thousand years for a thousands years over.

This game got the same treatment as talented Michael. It is not being worked on and will be 20 times smaller than the other games

Before I end this I have three more pieces of info.
1st: once this game is later into development (around 75% done) I will move it over to steam. I will make the game cost around 5-10 bucks and make all the games except Shattered Spore or High-tech Peril be DLC that cost 5 bucks. (game 4 and 5 might be 3 bucks instead)
2nd: once the game is done and if it's popular enough, I will make a six separate game that takes up after what happens after all the past games. this six game I'm thinking about will be "navy" themed, might change tho
3rd: You might be asking, "how are you going to make all these games at once and not get burnout for any of them." the simple answer is that I'm working on these games in 2 month burst then swapping the game. This cycle of games has Shattered Spore, High-Tech Peril, and Melting Firebox right now. In 2025 Talented Michael will be added to this cycle along with the fifth game in 2026. Talented Michael and fifth game might be given 4 month of development time since they are smaller games and won't take as long as the other games.
