Video game violence, no sir, not here. Enjoy the simpler things in a GameBoy Advance console game.

Is there a point to it? What does it mean? I think that I could say the same about life in general. The important thing is not how it was created, but why it was created at all.

Here is a preview release of things to come. This is sort of a test of the controls of the main character, the aforementioned bunny, and of the look of the game. I would like comments. If there is anything jarring in the controls or if you have any suggestions, let me know. However, I have made some guidelines that I do not intend to break so do not make a suggestion contrary to the mission statement.

Update (03/28/03): There is a new testing version of Bunny Advance. The bunny can now get the carrot. Try it out.

Update (11/07/03): New testing version. There is some new art work and an improved graphics storage scheme. Also pausing may come in handy to admire your glorious hopping.

 

Bunny Advance Manifesto:

  1. There will be no superficial violence, if any violence at all.
  2. There will be no superficial point, if any point at all.
  3. There will be no political references.
  4. Necessarily, decisions about gameplay will reflect peace, harmony, or other things I like.
  5. All artwork will be simple line drawings done on paper, and will remain black & white.
  6. I will not stoop to corporate sponsorship, unless they sign my manifesto and follow it to the letter under their day-to-day operations, from mailboy to CEO.
  7. The artistic vision will always be the primary consideration. I think of it as an art project, not just a video game.
  8. While this is an art project, it is also a game, which means that it has to be fun. Every effort will be made in the preservation of fun.
