hii newgrounds!! i am excited to share what I've been up to so far this summer. I have a lot of good stuff to share and I'll have even more stuff upcoming in these next few months.

Martian Mayhem Update 1.2.1 released

Update 1.2.1 to Martian Mayhem has been released! This is a minor update that mainly focused on bugfixing and cleaning up the game. However there is some new content:

• The pause menu and creative mode menu were greatly revamped to be more user-friendly and pretty!!!
• Additionally, some buttons in the pause/creative menus will give you more information on what they do.
• New lens of insight item: Hover over any block with it and it'll tell you more about it!
• New flint bullets: Easy-to-craft ammunition.
• New bug meal consumable: Heals you and gives many different stat boosts.
• New solar & lunar crystals: Hardcore exclusive items obtained from defeating the Sun Beetle and Moon Warden!
• Paintbrushes. I have NO idea why I added this. Splash your world with color!!
• Some item descriptions were fixed.
• Many early-game tools were made easier to craft.
• Guns fire more accurately now
• The amount of loot chests that spawn has been decreased for gameplay balancing.
• A button to turn off music has been added
• The game now takes advantage of Newgrounds's built in save data feature, ensuring your worlds won't be lost upon reloading the page. This only works if you're logged in however!!
• Error screens were adjusted
• Some layering issues were fixed
• A LOT of bugs were squashed

Here's a peek at the new pause menu.

What's next for Martian Mayhem

The next update for Martian Mayhem, update 1.3.0, will continue the progression of the game and add content to the 3rd chapter!!

Here's what's planned so far:

• New mana system and magic-related weapons
• New Desert and Tundra biomes
• The world will be expanded horizontally to make space for these new biomes
• 10 new enemies
• More types of passive enemies

I wish I could share more news on what I'd like to add but for now I'll start off with the basics. I think it's good to stay small so I don't overwork myself like I did with update 1.2.0. I think I will be able to finish this update by the end of the Summer so stay tuned!

Music

My album "crimson eventide; cerulean daybreak" is going to release on July 25th! It'll be on all streaming services.

Additionally I'm going to upload all of my other music to streaming services as well.

Hi!!! First, I want to thank Newgrounds for putting my game in the legendary games section of the front page. It's been an absolute dream of mine to have my game placed there and It's unbelievable to me for that dream to already become a reality so soon. Now that Martian Mayhem update 1.2.0 is out and it's jam-packed with content I want to follow it with a quick minor update that won't take long.

Update 1.2.1 will have many bugfixes and some balancing to make the game more enjoyable. one major bug that i need to fix is saved worlds disappearing upon refreshing the page (this is from the fact that the worlds are very big and when the size of the worlds exceeds your local storage it'll delete some of them. it can be easily fixed by using Newground's built in save data feature but one downside is that you'll have to have a NG account to save worlds!!)

Also here's some other stuff coming in update 1.2.1:

• Enemy encyclopedia
• More scoreboards
• More guidance to assist new players
• (And also, I'll see if I can add an optional quest line to complete in survival mode that basically tells you what to do next... but I don't know for sure if im gonna do that)

I hope all of u are looking forward to this minor update!! After I'm finished with it, I will start work on the next chapters of the game. There is a looooooooong line of new content that's yet to be added... a LONG line... so it's best that I get to work on it quickly

To end this update announcement I want to give a huge thank you to anyone who has played my game. It means so much to see people care for what I'm passionate about and it motivates me to do even better in the future! I'd also like to give an extra-huge thank you to Lirrez and Fladalt, the composers of the music used in Martian Mayhem! I think music is a big part of what makes a game enjoyable and without their amazing soundtracks, the game would only be half as fun.

Update 1.2.1 should release in a week or two so stay tuned! If you have any recommendations pm me, email dinoscove@gmail.com or send a friend request to maymcleen on discord

After 8 long months of work, it is finally here. Martian Mayhem update 1.2.0 is released!!! I am so glad to have finally pushed out this massive update and hopefully I'll be able to take things slower now!

What Comes Next for Martian Mayhem:

The next update will be very small and will release soon. It'll be a bugfix and cleanup and maybe a little bit of new content as well. I'd also like to flesh out the leaderboard feature more. After that, the next two major updates will focus on completing Chapter 3 with the addition of 2 new biomes (Desert and Tundra) and a boss fight for each respective biome! I'll also add magic weapons and a mana system along the way and hopefully these two updates won't take as long to finish!

(PLEASE IGNORE THIS POST. I'M NOT GOING TO DELETE IT BECAUSE IT'S FUNNY TO LOOK BACK ON, BUT I CHANGED MY MIND AND THE GAME IS RUNNING AT 60FPS AGAIN)

martian mayhem will be changed to run at 30fps instead of 60fps. one side effect of this will be that enemies behave slightly differently, but it won't be noticeable. there will be an option to enable 60fps interpolation, but the game itself will now run at 30fps. it's a change i at first was hesitant to make but now that i've done it i'm glad i did---it makes the game run smoother and also lets it perform much better on low-end devices!!

hi all! it has been a while, hasn't it? i'm sorry that i've been a little bit inactive, but now i think it's time to keep pushing forward. now that school is pretty much over i'll also have way more time to keep working on my passion projects too.

Martian Mayhem update 1.2.0 - Releasing June 3rd!

i finally have an official release date ready for the Martian Mayhem update. this new release will double the content of the game and make it a ton of fun to play! i'm just doing the finishing touches and then hopefully the next update to this game can be a more minor one that only takes a month or so to finish. this update will come with a full walkthrough and also a tutorial world to help everyone be able to experience and enjoy the game. Additionally, the standalone version of the game will come with some exclusive features that the newgrounds version will not have!

Music

I have an album in the works named "Crimson Eventide; Cerulean Daybreak". It's a double album! It'll be available on streaming services eventually, but I don't have a set release date for it. Here's the current cover for the album but it may be subject to change

Art

look at my art PLEASE! this is my oc named Dorothy

hi! i still havent... really... done anything... at all....

one cool thing i have to share is a demo for a platformer game i have been making. i might be able to release it soon. but that's it.

oh, also, i've been picking up music again and i'll have a lot of demos on my youtube channel for people to check out.

i've just been really depressed lately so it's been hard to get work done. additionally i have been focusing on important parts of my life like family and stuff. i was debating even making an update for this month, but i decided to do it anyway for consistency.

ill see u later!

sorry i havent been doing much lately... ill be sure to release the new update for martian mayhem very soon!

i've just been demotivated to make the finishing touches to the update. i'm in the playtesting state so it's a very long cycle of playing through my game multiple times and then writing down and fixing every bug i come across. additionally with the release of another terraria sandbox game on newgrounds named waxweaver i've just been waiting a bit so i'll have my own time to shine. i wish i had more to add to this update about my life but really i've just been kind of focusing on school and family. but i promise i'll have a lot of cool stuff coming soon!

hii! I am really excited to share some new information about my game, Martian Mayhem. I have been hard at work (finally) and I'm almost ready to release the next update to the game (I'm currently in the playtesting phase, fixing bugs and having fun)

Here's some screenshots from the new update.

(A new mythic night event that happens every 7th night, where the constellations in the sky will be outlined and no aggressive enemies will spawn.)

(A world map feature. This was one of the very first things I programmed in game, but it was heavily buggy so I left it out of the finished game until now.)

(Medals! Now the game has a built-in medal system and there's 25 of them along with 15 more medals that will be exclusive to the HTML build of the game)

Here are some of the features of the new update:

• 2 new biomes - Lunar World and a space mini-biome
• 14 new enemies!
• New bossfight - Moon Warden
• New in-game events: Quake and Mythic Night
• HARDCORE MODE - Much greater difficulty and exclusive loot!

heres one of the new enemies,,,, he's not really an enemy since he is passive and does no damage, but he spawns rarely and drops valuable loot!

anyway tho, that is all i have for now. i don't have many updates on anything else i've been working on since i have been in a very rough spot in my life. but it'll get better soon! hopefully by the end of March i will have this update out

Hi! Originally every month I would post a Martian Mayhem State of the Game post. But now I'd like to just leave a monthly update for every project I'm working on. Even if nobody reads it I think it's good practice and it'll be nice to look back on a couple of years in the future.

Martian Mayhem Updates

Work on the game has been slow, but I am trying my best to get this new update out. I have been working hard on optimization and fleshing out the world so it is a more enjoyable and less boring experience! I hope that next month I will have more to share

Abyss Rush Demo

I have released a demo for a new game I am working on called Abyss Rush! It's a story-driven shooter and if you'd like to check it out the link is here. I would love to hear any feedback so I can make the full game an amazing experience!

Other Games

I am working on a bullet hell project called Void Blitz and it uses music from many different Newgrounds artists. It's similar to Just Shapes and Beats but I don't have any significant updates on it. I am also working on an arcade shooter.

Music

I am working on an album. I also have my music on streaming services here if you want to check it out. I do electronic music.

I made art look it's me. Hi. That's me

Martian Mayhem State of the Game December 2024

hello! Due to mental health issues I haven't made much progress on the game as of recent. But the update is still planned to release next month! I've added a few new features since the last SOTG:

• New enemy: Quaker (Spawns during the marquake event)
• New passive mobs: Beetles and Flies. Can be used to craft potions or can be displayed in terrariums!
• New rare mimic mob that drops nice treasures when killed
• 8 different types of potions

That's all I have to share for this month :(

hopefully next month I will have this exciting update ready!
