General Info: You're a starfish with a keen eye for uses for useless junk. Ever since the fallout occurred, you've been scrounging the wastes for trinkets and treasures so that you can make a living. Not bad for a guy who spends most of the time under a rock.
Things haven't been too bad; you've scraped by here and there, and have even managed to make your rock house a mobile conveyance, one of the few left in the wastelands. Your business is getting better now that you're more mobile, but there is trouble brewing.
You've seen the strange eye-bots flying around, spewing out the stupid recordings of that Sheldon J Plankton fellow. He sounds important, and is talking about finding a legendary formula to help put things right again. You don't trust him, but the idea of getting your mitts on that formula doesn't sound too bad to you.

They taught you the ways of being something called a “Fry-Cook”, instilling in you the techniques and philosophies of the food service industry. Even though food is scarce and generally unappealing, your parents always told you “the love is what makes food good”
one day, you awaken to your nautical horn alarm clock, ready for another day of learning, when you find that your parents are missing from the vault. Reluctantly, armed with your spatula, your PipBob, and your trusting pet, Snailmeat, you open the door to your vault and head out into the wastes.

Fallout in Bikini Bottom Official Blurb

what i'm submitting for the convention in may. one of many to come.

Fallout in Bikini Bottom: Life in Bikini Bottom was good until two thermonuclear devices were detonated on the atoll directly above the watery landscape. The resulting wastelands beneath the oceans slowly gave rise to a new life, new factions, and a new set of problems. Hunger, Violence, and Sickness became the mainstays of life in Bikini Bottom.
Now, there is rumor of a Formula that could fix everything, and the false president Sheldon J Plankton and his Enclave now tirelessly search the wastes for the fabled Formula. However, Humanity's last hope and a rag-tag bunch of waste-landers might have what it take to prevent another war...and war never changes...

The Brain Spits Up

i had mentioned earlier how i was thinking about jumping into a independent game contest with my project MAKO game. (which still lacks a proper name.) for the most part i've decided to be a part of it, even if just for the playtesting aspect of it.

now it says that i should" update my prototype" and get it game ready. now, i'm not going to lie, my prototype looks weak and needs some work. so i started to decide on what i needed to do.

1) replacing the point counters: i have counters that are only in 3 and 4 point increments, but i have cards now that could possibly cut points pools in half. so i managed to find so old cheap poker chips in the colors of yellow, red, and blue. these work perfectly.

2) respawners: i have small disks that show where the next victims are supposed to appear. unfortunately, they blend in too well with the board. so here comes the story as to how i'm going to fix it.

so i was in the bathroom, trying to think about what could make this game look visually. especially when it came to the spawning points. then, without warning it popped into my head.

BUOYS!!! like in JAWS!!!

so i know what i need to do next.
