I woke up late, this morning, and felt somewhat lethargic. I tried doing a bit of coding, but nothing seemed to fall into place, and I couldn't really be bothered to tackle anything.
I closed the laptop before dinner, and opted to give up on the day.
Here's what happened on my day off..

I love my iOS devices, and I love the iOS Ecosystem.
I also love that iOS has (so far) been the only bloomin' way that I've managed to sell my games in a fruitful manner.
(Android sales have been.. *shrugs* Pisspoor!!)
In order to get a Monkey-x game onto iOS, I first need to transfer the code to the Mac (Drag 'n' Drop over the network) then recompile with a few choice tweaks along the way.
The game then needs approximately 738 different icons, which all look the same, but are margi...

You can keep up with his efforts over on (URL "https://www.lessmilk.com/">his own site, here.)
I wish LessMilk all the luck with his attempt, and will be keeping an eye on his progress for as long as I remember to do so!!!

When I first bought my iPad, I never imagined the amount of "work" that I'd end up doing on the thing.
The fact is, it's SO much easier to have your iPad on hand, than it is a giant laptop.
That's not to say I don't use my laptop. It's pretty much an essential part of AGameAWeek. You can't exactly do your coding on iOS, so the laptop is there for the majority of the things I do, but over the course of the last year-or-so, I've found myself doing smaller bit-tasks on my iPad.

In the first of a (hopefully) full year of monthly Platdude related releases, Platdude gets to wander through a giant forest, battling enemy creatures, and avoiding deadly spikes!

This week we're going to be doing the first part of something that may or may not actually happen!!
Since last year was Nintendo's Year of Luigi, the guys over at RetroRemakes have decided that this year oughta be the Year of Horace. I challenged site-admin RobF to attempt to create a different Horace game every month, and post it to OneGameAMonth.
I'm not sure he's going to do it, if I'm honest.
But the challenge was set, and although unspoken, I figured it would only be fair to challeng...

A simple little retro platformer.
Nothing magical, just a neat little run-and-jump game.

I don't normally do "Postmortem" type blog posts, but figured I might as well start.
Not sure whether this will become a regular thing, or not, but I thought it'd be nice to keep track of what happens after I post each game.
In future I might leave it until a good few days have passed, but the world of AGameAWeek tends to flow fairly rapidly. We'll have to judge it as it happens.
Anyway, welcome to the newest section of AGameAWeek, where I take a look at the stats and things, to help figu...

Welcome to the wonderfully colourful retro-styled world of Retroball!
A spectacular remake of the bat and ball classic, but with all new rules, combo scoring, and even a few powerups along the way.

Over this past week, I've been inexplicably productive, and although I *could* spend some time bulking up my games, I'm instead focusing on the classic AGameAWeek rule of "Just get the game done!"
As such, I've not only finished off RetroBall, ready for Tuesday (or already on OUYA), I've also actually managed to make ANOTHER entire game, this week!
That's TWO games!! Blimey!!
But I'm not launching both. That would be silly! Best to stockpile these things, and stick to the regular Tuesday...

By default, the Graphene theme on Wordpress doesn't do comments on Status or Media posts.
I'm not entirely sure why that is, and it took a little effort to get it working for me.
In the end, it came down to a single line of text.
Go to appearance/editor, and open the loop.php file.

There are hundreds of great sites that I should probably link to, and much like linking to my hundreds of games, I've always found it a bit of a mess once I start trying to cram it all into a small sidebar on the right of the site.
As such, I've finally opted to create one great big link-page, full of everything I could think of within the short hour or so that it took to add it!

Forewarning : I'm not entirely sure if I'll be able to finish off this week's game in time!
For one thing, it feels like it should be a little more complex than it currently is. Loads of extra stuff could be added, but I probably don't have the time to add it all in.
Secondly, however, is the current issue I'm having, health-wise. All of 2012's nastyness has left me slightly off-balance, and kinda queazy a bit. For the most part, I'm managing quite well, but this week's game..

Welcome back!
AGameAWeek starts anew, this week, with a nice little remake of a game I made a good 7 or 8 years ago.
My original "The Quest" game took a board-game-style approach, but never really got very far due to the limits and oddities of trying to play a board game on a computer. It felt strange to have to roll dice all the time, and the battles were never tha...

Knowing my luck, this will probably result in an equally similar amount of sales. ie, bog all!!
