Hank: Drowning On Dry Land News

[h2]Hey friends![/h2]

This time we will focus mainly on Tales From The Arcade: Fartmania, because there is a lot to talk about! In addition, until the end of May you have a chance to take part in a contest where there is a cool prize to win!

FARTMANIA IS OUT!

(on Newgrounds)

Let's start with the fact that Fartmania is finally out. From now you can play our latest production on Newgrounds! We are very pleased with how TFTA Fartmania looks in the final version, another dream on our list ticked off.



For those who do not yet know what our new game is about, we're here to tell you - Fartmania is a new installment in the Tales From The Arcade series. This time we decided to make an arcade platformer starring pigs. Our character Pinky has a farting problem and is being ridiculed by others in the village. However, when the other piglets are kidnapped by aliens, Pinky the Stinky must use his unusual powers and rescue his pals from the hands of the alien visitors. Will this mission succeed and will Pinky gain the respect of the village? It's all up to you.

FART-ASTIC CONTEST!

(Seriously, it's really cool!)

But you are probably also interested in the contest we’ve mentioned at the beginning. Well, we want to see how well you do in our new arcade platformer. Therefore, show us what the highest score you are able to fart out in Fartmania!

- Go to Newgrounds and play TFTA: Fartmania
- Launch the Fart-o-meter and start the adventure.
- Reach the top of the sky and defeat the aliens, completing the game in the shortest possible time and saving as many pigs as you can.

Every second counts, just as every little piglet is extra points to your score!



Okay, but what's all the fuss about? [h3]The person who at the end of the contest will appear in the first place of highscores on Newgrounds will become.... a character in TFTA: Fartmania![/h3] We will prepare for you a personalized piggy character that will appear in the game. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that may not be repeated. There is a lot to fight for, so drop on Newgrounds, break records and fart your way to the top!

(Become a character in Fartmania, just like our patreons Kaja and Adam!)

The contest runs until May 31, 2024.

So what are you waiting for? Stop reading and start farting!

Hey, hey, hey, it's us My Next Games again, because it's time to tell you what we've managed to do recently and to introduce some of the things we're currently working on!

First things first - we managed to launch our Patreon! As you may know, a good portion of our games are free. Therefore, if you would like to support us in some way, Patreon will be the best option. Why? Because by doing so you will also get great bonuses! You can, for example, gain pre-release access to our content on YouTube, have the opportunity to listen to our talk at monthly dev streams, or be mentioned in the credits of our games. We also have something special for our biggest fans. As a special reward for those who decide to support us at the highest threshold, we have chosen the opportunity... to become a character in our game! Yeah, you read that right. We wanted to give you something that you will enjoy and at the same time something that will be (in our opinion) a cool reward for such generous support.

Another equally important thing is that... you will soon be able to try out our new game! This is another production from the "Tales From The Arcade" series, which of course already includes “Starship Murder”. And soon "Farmania" will also join this group! The name here is not accidental, and we hope you will fall in love with the idea as quickly as we did.


In "Tales From The Arcade: Fartmania" we play the role of one of the pigs. However, it turns out that all the other piglets in the village have been kidnapped by an alien ship! Our hero must take to the air and save his friends. You will probably ask - how? Well... with the help of farts. Each click of the spacebar is another fart taking the pig up all the way to the top. But this does not mean that the journey will be easy. On the contrary! During the expedition a lot of difficulties and obstacles await the hero, and one wrong move can knock him back at the very bottom of the village.


Thanks to the implementation of the ranking system, you can compete with your friends both in terms of how fast you can beat the game and in terms of the number of rescued pigs! We are sure that you are in for a lot of fun and laughter while playing "Tales From The Arcade: Fartmania"!

And if you would like to become one of the characters in Farmania, just visit our Patreon and pledge your support with the Live Chat threshold. Thanks!

Also remember that we continue to successively publish new videos on our YouTube. Our latest video is the one about (in our opinion) the best indie games ever made.

That would be it for this month's recap! Thank you for being a part of our journey in the world of video games, and we hope you’ll enjoy our next productions. Cheers!

[h2]Hey hey hey, there's a new pirate on this ship![/h2]

My name is Mateusz and for two months now I've been helping Kuba and Witek with their social media. Who am I exactly, how would I describe working with the My Next Games team and what are our plans for the future?



I have been running my YouTube channel for quite some time now and my content is mainly about Cyberpunk 2077 from CD Projekt RED. Making videos has been my hobby since I remember and I can hardly imagine anything else that gives me the same amount of joy. Besides that I'm also a self-taught Photoshop editor. I learned that skill because I couldn't stand my awful thumbnails on YouTube anymore, haha. But seriously, a couple years ago I had to choose: do I want to become an IT specialist or a graphic designer. I picked the first one and as time runs I think that I could've picked the second option.



But hey, humans learn their whole lives, right? And after a consideration it's not even that bad, because now if I would like to have my own website, thanks to my IT skills from school I can make one by myself, while the rest of my graphic design skills I learned on my own. I consider this as an absolute win!



My other hobby is Video Games. That's why I decided to team-up with Kuba and Witek from My Next Games. The goal was simple - they make fun games and I use my experience to help them with the recognition of their series on the internet. We started very simply - they showed me their games, which by the way I really liked, especially the Hank one, and then I proceeded to think about new content for social media. At first on our Facebook, TikTok, Instagram etc. you could see just usual posts about our games. Nothing special. Then we extended our content to include articles and now we’ve just started with full YouTube videos.



And here we are today. We just released our first video, which you can find on our YouTube channel. It’s a summary of all upcoming Indie Games that were presented at this year’s The Game Awards. We invite you to check it out and to tell us in the comments what you like the most about this video and maybe what you don’t like about it. We’ll be very grateful.

Be with us on this journey and help us make better and better content for you. See you around!

Hey everybody!

Each of us has some fears hidden deep inside. We all try to lock them out and to prevent anyone from using them against us. However, sometimes a single thought is enough to set off an endless spiral of anxiety. The antagonist of our game titled “Hank: Drowning On Dry Land”, is well aware of this. I’m Kuba from MyNextGames and today I’ll talk a bit about Hank’s nemesis, the Unraveler.


A perfectionist, a mastermind, the composer of chaos - yup, all these terms perfectly describe the Unraveler. He’s able to consider even the most unpredictable scenarios just to not let anyone ruin his performance. The Unraveler wants to see the world descending into total chaos by his single push, creating a frightening domino effect.


By the virtue of overrunning Metro City Asylum, he’s willing to negotiate before he starts killing the hostages but on one condition. He will only speak to one person - Hank, his captor. He loathes Hank who thus far has been the only one who managed to put a stop to a plan that's already been set in motion. Ever since that moment, he is obsessed with figuring out how Hank managed to pull such a stunt.


With the power of illusion and trickery the Unraveler tries to get inside his opponents’ heads and subjugate them to his will. He’s using their fears as a weapon against them and proudly watches the show. Will Hank be able to tame the villain, or will it be the Unraveler who emerges victorious from this clash?

If you want to meet the Unraveler and have a chance to talk to him, I suggest you try our short game “Hank: Straightjacket”. You will see his sociopathic nature combined with the arrogance and artistic flair that make this character so unique. You can check this narrative experience on Steam.

We have so much more to show you, but that’s all for today. Be sure to follow us for future news about the universe of Hank. Cya Around

So… another Steam Next fest is upon us. Although we are not participating this time, our good friend Matthew is showing his game - Yolk Heroes. I’ve been helping him test it for the last couple of weeks and believe me - it’s something special.

Do yourself a favor and go check out the newly released free demo.
