    Ok, been very busy with work the past few days, so I haven't really had time to get on here and leave any comments.

    Swampthing seems to be pretty close to complete as far as I can tell. I just can't get anywhere in it because the controls are very strange. You have to morph into objects to progress in the game and the control of those objects (leaves, logs, etc) is not pollished in any way. The player's attacks are also very weak in the game, so there's a lot of getting your butt kicked and not making any progress.

    Beanball benny: playable, but very incomplete. The cutscenes even have developmental notes in them, like "Subway: trains not yet implemented". Hit detection seems good, but instead of restarting the stage when you die, you actualy progress further in the game. There are also numerous places where the stage just simply cuts off and you're walking in pitch black.

    The good news is i got a good camera over the weekend, so I should be able to get some better screenshots soon. As soon as I do, I'll post them up here.

    Awesome update. I'm looking forward to seeing some more pictures of the games.

    I can only imagine what the brainstorming process was behind the Swamp Thing metamorphosis "Dude, how about he morphs into a hawk? Or maybe a bear? Now, I got it: A LOG!"

    Aw rats, I'm disappointed that Bean Ball Benny isn't all there. Still, just knowing it's playable is awesome.

    Yeah, it's a bummer. Like you said though, the fact that the game is even playable is a treat within itself. I can't wait to see gameplay footage from Swamp Thing though. It should be epic regardless of how complete/incomplete it is.
