What’s on Time Donkey’s Menu

Posted to Art, Friends, Games by Ben on August 27th, 2009

This is what happens when you have amazing people help you with your amazing projects. One Mr. Cory Robinson, a local game artist, good personal friend of ours, and all-around-super-talented-guy helped us out with some illustration work. In order to make the Time Donkey menu scene come to life I needed some promotional nonsense (product photos, discount alerts, beverage list) to surround the functional menu elements (game logo, the “play game” button, the “change username” button) and Cory delivered. While it ended up completely appropriate in the context of the title scene you don’t see it very well when it’s all said and done so here it is in detail.

Cory'sMenu

Keep in mind that when I tasked him with this my instructions were very vague; crappy fast food menu with ridiculous products on it. He reached into the swirling neon vortex of his brain and created all of these products and their names, going off of Flashbang’s “Num Nums Raptor Taco” inside joke from back in the day and nothing else. When we looked at it for the first time we all cried from the laughter, and also from Matthew hitting us with a car antenna. Enjoy!

    That's awesome but i wouldn't fancy the green ice-cream. Rest looks really yummy except the Pangaea doesn't look like real meat. Can't wait for the Time Donkey Release is there a beta link? Oh and I Beta tested Minotaur China Shop but I didn't get an achievement. Saw this site when Off-Road Velociraptor Safari was released i read it on ''Fun-Motion'' Matthews blog?
    And Nice Countdown. Sorry i type too long.
  • The Pangaea Burger is made from the infamous Meat Cube. It is impossible to eat an entire Meat Cube for it is an infinite amount of meat.
  • Hahaha I forgot about the unworldy parameters of the meat cube.

    For the Blursters out there who don't get to go to lunch with us and hear our ridiculous interplay firsthand, we decided that in the center of that meat cube is a small portal into a dimension made entirely of meat and when you eat any of it off, it just grows back with new proteins it takes directly from the meat dimension. It's brilliant (and by brilliant I mean "iconic corporate exploit").

    Wow, to eat that pangaea burger, you probably need real skills... and big jaws.
  • ...and 3 of your closest friends and probably a designated driver on top of that. *barf*

    This makes my stomach turn in delightful ways. I would love to see the creative process on this one.
  • MatthewFBS
    I believe the creative process involved a lot of *actual* fast food. And stomachaches.

    Everything looks so yummy. I think I'll have one of each. :D
  • Would you like that Bronto-sized?
  • Nero
    Ya sure. I'm hungry.
