And I call it ✨ Zanzlanz's Collector's Bundle ✨!
After I ported 11 of my games to my game engine (see yesterday's post), I decided to make a launcher to keep track of all 100 achievements!
I just wanted to make this post to highlight some fun parts of making the project:
I got paid in Oreo Cookies
In one of the trailers I made, I joked that you could buy it with Oreo Cookies (@1m19s):
And -- maybe I could have predicted -- a friend of mine actually shipped me this package in exchange for some keys of the game. I was absolutely beaming about it for hours!

I devoured the cookies and rained itch keys upon his inbox.
Coincidentally, there are exactly 100 achievements
I still can't get over the fact that when I counted up all the achievements for all 11 games, it came out to be exactly 100 achievements. I sat there confused and recounted 3 more times before I was convinced the numbers added up perfectly.
But all of the achievements came from the original medals I set up on Newgrounds.com!

Getting all 100 achievements is a big feat, which is why one of the rewards for winning is the ability to hijack my Twitter with an automated tweet about your win. A few people got close, but they stalled out at 90%, so anyone can still be of the first 10 winners.
The trophy is my marketing team 🏆
The trophy is just a dozen stretched cubes I manually entered in with code. There's a larger version of the mesh masked out underneath to add the black outline.
All things considered, doing the "branding" for this project really just meant I slapped the trophy asset on everything and anything :)
The launcher is secretly a 3D scene
At first I was going to arrange it like a DVD scene selection menu, if you remember those days. But then I settled pretty quickly on a flat grid instead. It still makes use of 3D through a neat interactive effect.
The way this is achieved is by using a perfect 90 degree field of view and setting the elements at exactly the correct scale and distance from the camera.
The 3D effect may play a part in the win sequence too.
Link
It would be weird to not link the bundle after writing a whole post about it! But better yet: all 11 games are totally free in your browser. Just, you wouldn't get the opportunity to take over my Twitter if you win :)

I witnessed it.
