Domestic dreams and Robots.
Made for the Melbourne fringe festival in 2012.

Released 4:50 PM 29/10/2022



This is the read me for this game.

So first a bit of background on this game

So I got asked to
make This game back in 2012 by Dieter Von Bromular
for the Melbourne fringe festival.

This was playable (projected onto a big screen)
 as part of a show called the Domestic Dreams and
robots show, this was held in a Warehouse somewhere in West melboure I think.

On that night there were some
bands playing in  the rooms adjacent and costumes and art decorations,
on the theme of Domestic dreams and robots.

If I remember the bands I might update this Readme document.

There was also a floating balloon remote controlled fish,
if I remember correctly.

Anyway
I Didn't come up with the Theme (Domestic dreams and robots)
I don't even know what that’s supposed to mean, 
it was just given to me for the show, and I just went with it,
interpreting it in my own way.
SO i basically made some levels around that theme,
and added a few levels from ROTSF2, and threw that
together, and Voila!!

Since this was designed to be playable for a long time,
(playable in one room of this warehouse space)
, I wanted it 
so basically
 someone could just pick up the controls and start
interacting with some weirdness on the screen at anytime,
this is the reason why, when you reach the end,
it just loops back to the start, cause i didn't want people to
have to reset it each time, so it could just keep playing all night long,
which it did.

I have to say it was a pretty fun night, and I have good memories of
that event, and the feedback on the game from people who played it was good too.


Also
I just want to make it very clear, that this is not 
Revenge of the sunfish 2, and it's not even close.

What this is, is just a snippet of some of my old OLD work, it's basically
 just a taster, but a pretty cool taster.

There's no plot, it's just a series of minigames,
very very loosely connected by the theme of domestic dreams and 
robots.

So while this compilation of levels, does contain,
a few of the Levels from Revenge of the sunfish 2,
it is from 2012, and I've been working on Sunfish 2
this whole time and it's a completely different game, non linenear, and wayyy longer.


Also Keep in mind that this is even Pre- the 2014, Demo of ROTSF2 that was shown at Rezzed
Festival in London. Now that was a proper Demo of Sunfish,
which this isn't. But this is a cool game anyway, play it and you'll see.

So yeah, hope you enjoy.

I just Played though this,
and I think it's cool, and worth releasing NOW.

Why am I releasing this Now?

Well, I just think it's time I released some new work.
Don't you :) lol.

Iv'e actually got a back log of games that I need to release, and I
am working towards releasing ALL of them. 

So Why has it taken me so long to finish stuff?:

I haven't had a stable housing situation for, um years (I moved house 5 times 
over Covid)
Now, finally, after many years I have a good living situation, which is basically perfect.

So this gives me a good opportunity to finish and release 
all of the games I’ve been working on over the years. 

Revenge of the Sunfish 2, is a complex game, and it's difficult to 
work on something like that, without a decent working environment.

I also have high standards, I don't want to just rush something out.

Despite the fact, that some people on the internet
 make fun of my MS paint artwork, and supposedly 
Rushed style, I actually put alot of thought and effort into my games/work.

It is a pleasure to work on my games, and working on them has helped to keep me going,
and kept me sane (well debatably) over events like Covid, and lockdowns and such.


I have had Covid btw, and I'm not vaccinated. At the start of that whole schmozzle,
I was thinking, what’s the point of getting vaccinated when it's a virus,
and a virus is obviously going to keep mutating, and such, which it has.

Anyway I’m going off topic, but Hey, I might as well address something else 
while I’m at it.

Ah my last Youtube video, Boomer remover, I think it's pretty bad really.

it's basically just a general "fuck you", but the thing
is when I made that, I was living in this share house, and
one of my housemates, was really annoying, I mean REALLY FUCKING ANNOYING

They would literally start playing the drums at 4 am and the cops,
would get called over by the neighbours as a noise complaint.

This happened multiple times. Not only that, but people would get assaulted,
by "said" housemates friends
in the kitchen at like 7 in the morning, with blood on the floor.
It was awful.

The room is was in didn't have ventilation, was full of rats and fleas, 
and I didn't have a bed, so I was just sleeping on a hard wooden floor.
And this was over covid, I literally couldn't give a rats about Covid, I was 
just aiming to get enough sleep.

Also my computer with sunfish broke around that time,
and I didn't know if I had lost it either (
thankfully I didn't) Anyway, one afternoon I put together that 
video, just kinda Venting how pissed off I was, mostly towards my housemate,
but against boomers,  cause those fucks all own houses right?

 Also Im not saying this to elicit sympathy or anything,
im just giving context for what was going on in my mind when I made that clip
 telling people to go DIE!

 But you know what, I don't actually hate boomers or
even my former housemate, it was just a shitty situation, thats all.

So yeh, 

anyway, 
enjoy this game,

Peace out!!
