Catlateral Damage v5.1a - LinuxJun 12, 2014 Demo 7 comments
Linux build of version 5.1a. New GUI, new paw model, stand-in music, and other fixes/changes.
Play as a cooped-up cat where your paw is your only weapon and mischief-making is your only directive. Swat your paw and knock stuff onto the floor. Knock as much stuff on the floor before time runs out! This game was originally created for the 2013 7DFPS game jam and is currently in development.

Lots of stuff has been going on during the past few months. I haven't posted much news here because I've been keeping busy with development, getting the game up on Steam and OUYA, and doing other indie-related work. In this update I want to talk about some of the new stuff that's been added to the game since the last update (like this fancy new title screen!).
The build I showed off at PAX Prime & Boston FIG a few months ago was the last update to the free web demo of the game (you can still play it here) before focusing completely on the full version of the game. During that time I was finishing up the foundation for the procedural level generation system that will be building all houses and rooms from now on. (If you're interested in reading about how the game is generating levels, check out the design and implementation dev blog posts!) The system is now fully functional, though it needs some polishing up. Along with that system, I added procedural game objectives for each room, which is something that's actually in the web demo. On top of all that, there is experience/leveling up which awards you with randomized upgrades to help you make bigger and better messes. There's still a bit of work to be done but I feel like all these things will help keep the game interesting through multiple play sessions.
Moving forward, there are a few big goals: make you feel more cat-like when playing, add a bunch of content (levels, objects, upgrades, etc.), and just make the experience better overall. In the coming weeks I'm planning on polishing up the core gameplay mechanics first, then focusing on increasing the cat-ness level of the game, and adding more content as I go along.
I mentioned before that the game is up on Steam and OUYA. That doesn't mean the game is finished though! The game is currently in a closed "early access" state where Kickstarter backers can play the game, provide feedback, and report any bugs they may find. You can still get early access to the game by slacker backing the Hipster Cat or LOLCat tiers on the game's homepage. Once you back one of those tiers you'll get a Steam key (Windows, Mac, & Linux) and an OUYA voucher for the game. And if you have an OUYA, you can purchase just the game from the Alphas/Betas category on the Discover page (you won't get any of the additional goodies of a slacker backer though).
That's it for now. Don't forget to tune into my weekly development livestreams every Tuesday at 4PM Eastern Time to follow the game's progress. I also occasionally post on the dev blog, though I haven't been too good about that recently. And as always, thanks for liking, following, and playing the game!

cat go !
I definitely see what you're saying. Making a fun, 2 minute demo into a full game that doesn't get boring is one of the main challenges I've faced early in development. I believe I've solved that with a design that includes procedural level generation and a solid metagame with collectibles, unlockables, and other gameplay modifiers. Feel free to check out this dev blog post that outlines the vision for the game moving forward: Catlateraldamage.tumblr.com
Long story short, levels will be procedurally generated and there will be a lot more gameplay content than there is in the current demo. It's not trying to ride the "funny simulator game" wave (it was actually made before Goat Simulator and the like), it'll be an actual game. :)
I love this game, but yea, has that goat simulator, got boring after a few hours feel
Played again for the rooom update. I like the idea of there being a secondary score system (the amount of objects that hit the ground). I'm also very sorry to hear about Nippy. I know how it feels. I lost my dog last month. Hope you feel better soon dude. :)

Growing thigs found in your kitchen or from the grocery store
A recent visit to a huge spice vendor at a flea market yielded 8 OZ of flax seeds for just $1. My thought at the time was not of consumption, but of growing them, and sharing them if they are indeed viable. Has anyone ever planted seeds that were meant for consumption?
What has anyone else ever grown from your spice cabinet, the grocery store, or fruit and veggie remains? Though I have numerous varieties of poppies to grow this year, I would also like to try my Durkee poppy seeds and see if they will grow and what flowers they will make.
Here is a good read found at the Growing from Seed Forum...Growing stuff found in your kitchen cupboards
I saw someone requesting navy beans, I think, and was wondering what bagged navy soup beans might yield. I imagine they are likely hybrids though and one would likely end up disappointed with the plants or production.
What have you tried?
What have you 'thought' about trying?
What are you now going to try?
Sue...trying to amuse Bigred
I've been told that dried beans will sprout just fine and that you can grow them into full sized, producing plants. I've not tried them myself.
I've done sweet potatoes, yams, russet potatoes and other rooted veggies, onions- particularly a red that I couldn't find a name for at the store, but really enjoyed. I'll be doing that again this year because it's hard to find a good, spicy red onion. Most of them are rather sweet. And I like the spicy ones to use in chili and potato salad. I'm gonna cut the one I have into quarters, making sure that each quarter has part of the root core, and plant them in a 10 gl bucket. Gonna put that on wheels that way if I wanna bring it inside for the weather or to put it under my lights, it's easier on me.
I've done bell peppers and chilis this way too. Most things that I've bought that are listed as organic and not processed (baked,blanched salted, etc) can be grown from the pantry :)
I grew Garlic and some onions I garbage picked. I planted some melon seeds, but the bunnies ate the plants up.
I did plant the flax seeds, and they grew, but it was late in the year and they didnt have time to bloom. DH is a health food nut and gave me a bag of flax seeds to plant, I was going to make the same post the other day. He gave me enough to grow a flax farm. I wonder how many seeds each plant makes? Is it enough to justify the effort and get enough seeds for him to grind int his kefir. (grosses me out tho).
I had a post at one time asking about specific beans and quite a few ppl said to use the dried beans in the bags @ the grocery store.. I was looking for butter beans specifically.. so I went and bought those AND one of those bags for the '15-bean soup' cuz it had lots of diff types (they're all listed on the back) and I plan to sow at least 3-4 of each variety this year.. just think if I get even one plant from sowing.. I'll have 15 plants for the price of $1.29 !! And then saving seeds from them to share/trade.. priceless! :P
watermelons, tomato's, the tops of pineapple just for kicks and grins, ohhh now, my biggest excitement is.....ok, don't laugh to hard, but i've wanted the vidalia onion for like ever!! so i' decided to try and see if i stuck a dried up onion on dirt that i have stuff planted on what it'd do, Hee hee, its grown roots!! so i'm letting that baby grow taller and see if it'll bloom, if it will, then when i get a vidalia onion, then i'm gona do that with it, and possibly just some of the roots also, because i have done that with the roots of some garlic and they have sprouted also. i just throw things that still have dried up roots on them into the "whatever try it" garden and then toss some dirt on it, and keep it moist and usually the dang things sprout something. did the same thing with those huge strawberries from sam's club, but i forgot where i planted them. so they probably got mowed down :'( nothing is offlimits!! **huge smile** ~Medo
Here is a link that might be useful: barehanded totally nutso gardener
I have some chestnuts in the fridge stratifying. We'll see on that. I tried some raw nuts from trader joes but didn't have any luck. Dragon fruit seeds germinate real easy I finally got some cactus looking parts coming out of them. This is my favorite topic of all time!
LOL! I have a bad habit of trying to grow things from nothing...usually I get nothing. It started long ago when I was a kid and planted a sprouted tater into a hanging pot and hung it in my bedroom which was in a very hot attic. It took off feet high in no time. Never any luck with berries, or grapes. Garlic and horseradish are very easy and fun. Corriander seed never worked for me.
I once threw out the pack of seeds that come with a Corned Beef. It said on the Corned Beef pack that the seeds were not needed for flavor so I didn't use them. They all came up but since I had no idea what they were there really was no reason to harvest.
I also start apple trees and pomegranates from seed. I think that is all. Well I have tried ginger but I did not get it to grow.
Oh yeah we have grown a few things from store bought things...a couple pineapple tops, celery from the butt end, onion from the cut off end, tangerines from seed, trying to grow a pineapple seed (so far no luck), garlic, herbs...hmmm, probably more but cannot think of what right now. Kim
We grew a Mango the year before last! Talk about BIG seeds...lol...poor thing died,dont know why,but my son is making me try another...lol...Pineapple tops,potatoes,onions,apples,oranges... I am going to try some of the dried bean types I have,I use them for crafts mainly,but I really want to see what comes out of them! :)
This is a great topic Sue,glad I saved it for when I had time to read the whole thing...love the idea of growing chocolate! :)
Our local Asian Market is the best place to find interesting things to grow! I regularly get Taro (Elephant Ears) from there and have had red, black, and purple stemmed ears way before PDN did! LOL! We have also planted their Giant Taro. At $3 a pound, that's a lot of bulbs! LOL! We've also planted ginger and yucca from there, and assorted herbs.
This is one of my favorite silly things to do. This year i grew tumeric and posted about it. I started a nice patch of German camomile that way so its not all that silly. Garlic , horseradish, mint ,watercress, mustard seed,lemon grass. and Szechuan peppercorn all worked well also.Ginger , papaya, mango, avocado, lychee,and many other tropicals were not practical in zone 5. This year I also planted roots like beet, parsley,carrot,also kohlrabi to get the seed for next year. I got a ton of beet seed from one beet but the parsnip attracted a large stem boring webby multicolored worm i have never seen before. No seed from that or the carrots.Oh popcorn works if you get it from a farmstore so its not a hybrid. Hot peppers work well too. I will be thinking of this for days now coming up with all the other things I forgot. Ric
What a fun topic.I will try many of the suggestions here.I have tried collecting fern spores from flower arrangments,I did not keep track of the instructions,but I remember you use the ones with bumps on the underside of the fronds.Put it bumps down on a sheet of paper and slide into a manilla envelope.It will eventually dry and drop the spores ,small as dust,
I do not recall the rest, but I would think if you sprinkle them on moist starter mix they would sprout.
I remember now,I lost them in a move,I will have to try this again now that I'm planted.
We received a basket of dried fruit last winter. At the time I had avacado seeds sprouting (which didn't survive), so I got the idea to try growing the date seeds. It's a year later and despite having broken their tap root (I guess that's what it was), they are small but starting to grow quickly now. I'm patiently waiting for them to develop pinnate leaves. I wish I had known how easily they become root bound. I think it's time for transplanting already!
Has anyone had luck propagating celeriac? I have a whole root with just the base touching water with roots about 3" long growing. My plan was to let the roots grow out and then divide the bulbous portion into sections that each have some living root. The leaves died within days of placing in the water, so I've been reluctant to upset her further and decided to do more research.
It seems silly to waste an entire root only to harvest one root. I'm hoping someone has had success, and thus, tips, with turning one root into many.

Hi stbarry,
Well I had to Google celeriac to even know just what it was. In looking at the picture at the link below, I wonder if you could have cut the celeriac a little below the leaves and then rooted it.

Please let us know how your experimenting works out.

last year i did like Sassy, i grew each of the beans from the 15 bean soup, and black beans, some kind of big huge bean, LOL then i went grocery shopping and bought fruit just for the seeds, i tell hubs that i really want to try this cool fruit LOL so anytime i get anything i try to grow it! i've grown ginger from the ones you get at the store. if i cut the tops off or anything i try to grow it. being here it will be much easier to grow some things because its so damp. (in Oregon) so i'm very excited to see what i can grow :')
Every year I buy a few horseradish roots to make a few jars of really fresh horseradish sauce. Last year I planted the tops of the roots and they grew leaves right away . They are beginning to sprout this spring but I expect it to be a few years befor I can harvest good sized roots. If you buy pencil sized roots from a seed house you can harvest usable roots the first year

Ocho Rios Irie Blue Hole Excursion Reviews
This was by far one of the most beautiful, fun excursions I have ever done. The tour guides were amazing, really fun & knowledgeable. This was certainly off the beaten path, after a bit of a drive on a super bumpy road, we climb down to this beautiful waterfall on the river. The water is gorgeous, we did some climbing, jumping, swinging, swimming. It was great. The guides took tons of pictures of us. We were the only group there, it was like our own private oasis!
Blue Hole was amazing!! It is a must see! Our guide, Omar was really a sweet kid! He was helpful, careful and stood by our side the entire time. You will enjoy every minute of the experience, it is beautiful. Wear water shoes and shorts. Go to The Blue Hole and ask for Omar! And give Omar a nice tip too!! He deserves it!
This company was recommended by a friend. They offer many choices, Made reservation ahead on-line, and they had our names and were expecting us. This port is very organized and it's easy to get on a tour. (Honestly doesn't look like those booked with the cruise line are any different.) The ride is about 1/2 an hour, it was interesting and you see how the people live there. Our guide spoke the whole way...There is a pretty waterfall, you get to jump into the water with several options of where to go in...either from a high jump, a lower jump or even in a cave that goes under the waterfall, and then swing from a tarzan rope in another section. You NEED water shoes...I didn't have them and wish I had. Something else I wish I would have known is that You can ask to stay longer and play in the water (once you get used to the COLD temperature), you can go on the rope again or jump again... but you need to know to ask or they tell you to go to the side and wait for the driver...we waited doing nothing for 45 minutes and then the driver said we could stay another hour and he would come back but we already got dressed. If you don't it's a pretty short excursion if you don't combine it with something else like tubing or Dunn's River falls.
We booked with an independent named Noel through Chris Linton tours. The whole island is full of people haranguing you for dollars, it is a very poor country. He took care of us and we never felt unsafe except for some of the crazy driving that all the locals do. Took us to the blue hole, which was incredible, Skotchies in the jerk village (best chicken we've ever eaten), and a beach where the water was so gorgeous!...all for 150 plus tip and meal. We also paid $10 for the blue hole and paid our guide Ice Cold, who was equally amazing a $20 tip. These are kids, but very attentive and practiced in navigating the falls safely with all kinds of people. The Blue Hole is not to be missed. As far as
Our driver, there always seemed to be something sketchy going on in the background. We observed him getting paid off to take us to a shop to buy souvenirs...I told my party as soon as we got there that he was getting a kickback for bringing us, it was very expensive, even though he sId he was taking us to a less expensive area. But all in all. It is the way of these very poor people. We had a great day, felt safe, he was very personable and took good care of us for what we felt was a very reasonable price and stayed with us the whole time. We were also informed at the end that the original tour guide Chris, who did pay us a visit , was going to take a cut of the money of course, so we ended up tipping him another $20 each couple. Beautiful place, but be awAre that everyone is on the take and expecting a tip for everything.
Irie Blue Hole is the best of Jamaica. Imagine Dunns River Falls without 2000 people combined with cliff diving... Our guides (Mike and Taj) were the best, personable and very helpful, knew the river and falls like the back of their hands and were well deserving of their tips. Our taxi driver was ours for the day at $25/per person and was the best. Google search "Rusty Irie blue hole" to find his info. Icebread at yahoo if you cant find it yourself. Had a blast.
Amazing! Awesome! Beautiful!! Totally recommend! Cliffs to jump off and ropes to swing from!! The water was really cold, but refreshing! The guy that took us from top to bottom of the Hole was Great! He carried my daughter who is 4 yrs old during the hard parts of the climb! This place hardly had any people and we had spent a good 2 hours here! It was the best part of the cruise! This place is Awesome!!!!
