Twenty years ago I stumbled into it, and uploaded the start of a series I called “Madness Combat”. When Tom developed the Portal on Newgrounds, a first-of-its-kind repository for user generated content, it was an open invitation anyone who could get their hands on the software and create, could have their work hosted there. Animations and games being generated by individuals with software on their personal computer, and anyone who cared to look at it, could. I was absolutely fascinated by what was being posted there. Tom Fulp’s is a site that altered the trajectory of my life. It has found itself a sizeable and dedicated fanbase, accruing over 8,000 Steam reviews with an Overwhelmingly Positive rating.ĭeveloper Matthew “Krinkels” Jolly has penned the post below, describing the game’s origins on Newgrounds and towards the game as it exists today. The game was released in September 2021, after being in the works for seven years. You will shoot, stab, bash, chop, and slaughter your way through three game modes: a story campaign, arena combat, and an open-ended playground. Madness: Project Nexus is a run ‘n gun/beat ’em up with arcade-style action and intense combat. Developer Matthew “Krinkels” Jolly talks about developing the game. 18 Jun, 2022 Madness: Project Nexus is all intense combat and furious button-mashing.
