Dishpig!

State: Beta
Release Data: June? 2018

Have you ever wanted to be a dish washer? Now is your chance! Live the glory and celebrity of professional dish washing. Dishpig! is an intense time-pressure shape fitting game. You need to fit and wash dishes as fast as you can. The longer you go, the more orders will pile up!

Dishpig! Finds its origins in my own experience as a dishwasher. During my last stint in that role I noticed that it had become sort of a game for me. I had learned strategies for the many different size and shapes of dishes allowing me to pack in as many dishes (and unload) within the narrow window of a wash cycle.

A few new things for me have come out of the game. The biggest is it is the first 2D game done in the second iteration of my engine. This had the effect of both drastically improving UI & 2D support, but also starting to show the limits of my original design. It is also my first (personal) foray into the FTP model. It has lead to some interesting wrangling between game-play and ‘having something to sell’. It is not an easy thing to balance, and since I tend to side on game, I can hear already see the PM’s I have worked with shaking their respective heads at me…
