- 10 Year Anniversary Update P1 - 11 May 2026
Hello! This is meant to be a quick read.This post contains information on the 10 year anniversary update for johnsgame, a game I made and maintained from age 13 to 15 before moving on. This was my first public release of a video game, and one of the few games greenlit on Steam before that program went away. The originally game was a small RTS that expanded into having both a Survival and RTS mode, Eventually the game had a few versions of both + free expansions for the RTS mode. I enjoyed my time when I was working on this title for a lot of reasons. It was my first big title, it was enjoyable to learn to make games, the art style was my own unique design, I was able to talk to other people making games and learn from them... it was overall very fun.But, it was my first game.Up until now it was very hard to play. Not because the game itself is hard (though it is unforgiving and designed…

- The Next Game and about me. - 13 May 2021
Hello, I am creating something new and I hope this looks at all promising. I am sorry for how the game ended up. After Version 2 (you can find what I mean by the previous news article) I was unable to access the files due to both GameMaker: Studio corrupting my files and a Windows update that required a Windows Reset which wiped my computer to get it to work. After that, Version 3 and 4 were created but without the same passion and more of "I just need to remake it" but I didn't remember how I did it the first time and constant frustration only came to make very good but depressing art which matched what i was going for but was only a reflection of my then feelings. I also made the game when I was 14 and didn't release it on Steam till I was maybe 15 (before that it was, and might still be on GameJolt as a privated game or something but I don't remember my login). At the same time I was…

- Obscure Project Weekly: Week 16:: Black Squad, General News, Change-Log 2.0.3 - 6 August 2017
A lot of my ideas come from general misspellings. This Letter is mainly just changelog due to the fact that I did week 15 on Wensday. Black Squad is Great: A game has been released called Black Squad. Heard of it? Well you should try it anyway, its free and there is no pay to win. Its a mix of everything great about Battlefield, Rainbow Six, & CS:GO in a nutshell. Fun to play with your friends and moderatly easy to get into. Go try it and feel free to add me (George) to come play. The only downside to the game is no voicechat. You will need an external Voice Call program to talk to your friends or other players. johns.game: To see new in-game info, controls, ammo, & guns, check out the 'Wasteland In-game Info Discussion' under Discussions. Its a very helpful little thread that will give you almost all info you will ever need. thats all, please read all of the notes below and good luck.…

Its a very helpful little thread that will give you almost all info you will ever need.

- Newsletter of Doom!: Week 14 - 31 July 2017
How did you guys like the new rick and morty? Well... it gave me some ideas. Also for those few people who asked me, yes I do take some inspiration from the Lisa Series. New Music should be coming in 2.0.3, as in ambiet music. Along with that Quests and more dialog interactions should be in 0.3 or 0.4. These things along with a long list of things I want to add will be added with this dialog update. Stories will be available within the game via books (already have a few mini-stories written) so if anyone else has some story they want to throw into the game write a story and either message me directly or put it in the Guides. This game is quickly taking a darker turn. People will die, blood will lay ways to the surface of the orange, gray earth. The world will burn under your feet as the people around you fear you. You are John, a man with a cliche name and a hidden story of ethics. You…
