Was Bucket Detective a failure??

Started a YouTube channel where I post a video every Monday talking about my games, new projects, creative process, life, and MORE. Check it! In this video I aim my MAGNIFYING GLASS at Bucket Detective to INVESTIGATE its release. Looking for CLUES as to whether the game HOLDS WATER (as a bucket might) or do I need a DOCTOR (like Dr Watson aka Sherlock Holmes's side piece) to resuscitate my career?

the static speaks my name DEVELOPER'S COMMENTARY

This is something a lot of people have requested, and I'm excited to finally be releasing it! The 55 minute developer's commentary about the making of the game. I discuss everything from making pet shrimp edible to why jacob sits down to pee. Enjoy! [previewyoutube=Te6pDFCLXRk;full][/previewyoutube] Watch on YouTube https://youtu.be/Te6pDFCLXRk

New videos about the making of 'the static speaks my name'

For those who are interested, I've just started a YouTube channel. Some of my first videos dive into the creation of the static speaks my name. In one video, I talk about the development and release of the game. In another, I show the prototype for the game that was created as part of a 48 hour game jam. Making and releasing 'static' - https://youtu.be/IGFIApK7CHI The lost 'static' prototype - https://youtu.be/G_dxDxn--L0 The channel will cover my past games (the static speaks my name, Bucket Detective, and more) as well films and stories I've been working on. Since I'm still figuring out what to do with the channel, I'm also open to suggestions. More than anything I'm trying to make it a fun, experimental, engaging place for discussing games, movies, books, and creativity in general. Come join!

Bucket Detective has been released!

My new game, Bucket Detective, is out! It's a dark comedy/horror game in which you help a cult complete a ritual in exchange for divine inspiration to finish writing your terrible novel. A story-focused experience where the choices you make determine which of the five endings you receive. It's definitely a spiritual successor to the static speaks my name, so if you like that game, I think you'll really enjoy Bucket Detective.

New game (Bucket Detective) coming February 16!

I'm super excited to announce my new game - Bucket Detective. My programmer and I have been working on it for about a year and a half (between day jobs and school) and it's finally ready! If you like the static speaks my name I think you're really gonna love Bucket Detective. It's a similar genre/mood to the static speaks my name, but it's bigger, with more story, and with a lot more polish. It's also weirder and darker and I think it's the best game I've ever made.

The game will cost $3.99 (depending on your country the price may vary slightly). In playtests players have gotten at least 45-60 minutes of solid enjoyment out of it (more if they try to unlock all the endings). We're also gonna have developer audio commentary about the making of the game to reeeaallly give you your money's worth. So yah, check out the store page and if it looks like something you wanna play, add it to your wishlist and grab it on feb 16! ;-0 store.steampowered.com/app/461170

A free one minute game called 'Jump To Win'

My programmer and I took a few days off from making our new game 'Bucket Detective' to make a small, free game called 'Jump To Win'. In the time it'd take you to slowly pour iced coffee over your entire body (1 minute) you can complete the game. Maybe you will like it, maybe you won't. Download it here: thewhalehusband.itch.io/jump I'm also accepting 'Jump To Win' haiku submissions and in about a week I'll print them out and burn them as a sacrifice to the dark god of video games. Send your haikus to my twitter (@jessebarksdale) or to thewhalehusband at gmail to be part of the fun ;)

'the static speaks my name' merchandise is now for sale

I've launched a store where you can buy 'the static speaks my name' t-shirts, posters, mugs, and pillows. If this is interesting to you, check it out. If a girl or guy you're crushing on is impressed by the palm tree painting hanging on your wall, i think you've found the one. I also think the mugs are pretty funny and weird and I like imagining people at work sipping coffee from them. You can check out the store here: thewhalehusband.storenvy.com And if you know someone that would be interested, please share the store with them or hey even buy them something. A 'Today Will Be A Better Day' mug would be a good early valentine's day present, don't you think? Also I've got a new game, called 'Bucket Detective', coming to Steam in a few months. It's not related to 'the static speaks my name', but is a new story and world. I think it is pretty good, but there's still a lot of work to be done. I will post about it here when it comes out or you can follow me at twitter.com/jessebarksdale for more frequent updates and postings about other games, art, and whatever else. Take care!

    the static speaks my name linux [70.99 M]

  • Public Linux depots

  • A dark/sad/weird/funny first person exploration game. You play a man on his last night alive as he obsesses over a mysterious painting. More of a story game in that it emphasizes mood and character over gameplay. Takes ten minutes to play and has "next-gen" features like a shrimp tank with pet shrimp. Be warned, the game contains explicit handling of suicide.

    For people that have played the game elsewhere, this is the original version, not an expansion or HD remake.

    Follow me on twitter at @jessebarksdale. I post updates about new things there.
