(no rabbit emoji??!) We finished this\u00a0hippo-quest of a game in an ironic 48 hrs and 48 mins. Fortunately, we are\u00a0participating in the jam and are therefore running\u00a0faster\u00a0than a loose stick of butter. We are still tweaking the occasional bug, but our game: &#8220;I am Ned and I am a Hippo&#8221;, is live and playable. <a href=\"http:\/\/hipponed.forevernews95.net\">To become a hippo\u00a0go here.<\/a> This hippo-quest is packed with jokes and love. Ours is a game about an incredible transformation within one man&#8217;s life: a shape-shifting like no other. Enter the life of Ned, an ordinary 9-5 office worker, who has aspirations to become a hippo. Explore his world, overcome emotional challenges, and confront your family. Please enjoy.<\/p>\n <p>sincerely, and forever, -jun &amp; pate.<\/p>\n <p>Full link: <a href=\"http:\/\/hippodned.forevernews95.net\">http:\/\/hippodned.forevernews95.net<\/a><\/p>\n <p><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-552658\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/13007256_10153959317991041_7313441639951953620_n-217x300.jpg\" alt=\"13007256_10153959317991041_7313441639951953620_n\" width=\"217\" height=\"300\" \/> <img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-552659\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/13063176_10153959317926041_1594811326590007494_o-300x212.jpg\" alt=\"13063176_10153959317926041_1594811326590007494_o\" width=\"300\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/13063176_10153959317926041_1594811326590007494_o-300x212.jpg 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/13063176_10153959317926041_1594811326590007494_o-768x542.jpg 768w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/13063176_10153959317926041_1594811326590007494_o-550x388.jpg 550w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/13063176_10153959317926041_1594811326590007494_o.jpg 1001w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>","time":"April 18th, 2016 11:01 am","title":"WIP: Shift into a Hippo, Shape into a New Man"}
