- Level Setting Landmine Larry - 4 February 2025
Folks, I've been working diligently at getting Larry up and running again. I'm currently half way though all levels, and gaining momentum along the way. Levels have been adjusted for difficulty as they are being checked, and assets cleaned up. There was a bit of delay on getting some of the levels refinished early on due to some scripting issues that needed to be cleaned up. (This is completed now!) As well as it seems that some of the terrain mapping was corrupted in the recovery that was dumped from the found source code. It's nothing too hard to fix, just time consuming to repaint terrains! Anyhoo! Enjoy this update video I posted on X.com earlier:

- The Larry Files -- Re-Building Steamworks Integration - 16 December 2024
Well, its be a long time coming; And I'm almost there. TL:DR; Larry has been been almost completely restored, and will have some new touches added. (This kinda just made sense along the way). Currently, I've been working hard at taking all the assets from the original build of Larry, and porting over all the code. As mentioned before the Source Code was lost in a Hard Drive crash... But found more recently on another device. Most if not all code has been re-written along the way, and a bunch of refactoring. I'm on the cusp of pushing an updated version. Larry has got a model update, a proper controller input system has been added, weapons have been tweaked along the way... (And certain levels have been adjusted based on the rage I've seen on some YouTube videos early on. ːsteamhappyː ) That being said, I've started on the Steamworks end of things (Achievements, Stats, and more.) -- For…

Quick update to intro animations. Text has been updated, and the Carrot explosion has been corrected to reflect the toon explosion effect. Happy New Year!

- Landmine Larry Update Is Live! (Dec-21-2016) - 22 December 2016
Landmine Larry Dec-21 update is live! Updated: Larry will now walk by default. Hold "Left Shift" to run. While in game, you can now change mouse sensitivity in the "Options" menu. In-Game "Tip" signs are now more prominent with a floating star above, and "Landmine Larry" logo on the sign. The sheep power-up has changed slightly. Sheep will now drop four dynamite packs and explode when they touch a Monster. The "New Game" intro has changed slightly. "New Game" will get a complete rework next patch. Landmine triggers were a little too big, they have been modified to be exactly the diameter of the landmine. This should make navigating minefields easier. Blobs that were not exploding properly on levels 1 to 5 have been corrected. Now with the added ability to walk and run, we will be taking a look at how players react to this mechanic. Minefields are supposed to be sudden, however the abili…
