AppStore is a wonderful place.
For the first time, I've actually made some money out of my games!!
Well done, Apple, on creating a wonderful ecosystem for indie devs.

When I went to add an AGameAWeek Gold function to my Archive's Admin page, I purposely decided not to add any sort of "Look Ahead" function.
I knew it'd be as much fun for me, as it is for you, to find out what today's AGameAWeek Gold is!
Just a week in, and I'm finding myself waking up in the morning just to click to my admin page, to see if we've got a good game today!!

Last night I was asked how I got Monkey to do all the things that I managed to make it do.
I tried to describe it as best as I could, but was already wrapped up in bed, trying to remember it all, whilst only holding an iPad! Not an easy job.
I suggested to (URL "https://twitter.com/retrorusty">@RetroRusty) that he waits until the morning, when I can better write a nice big (BIG) waffling (WAFFLING!) blog-post about it all.

Maybe another day. I have a big proper blog post to write, too, and no time to waste!!
For today, we'll continue to pretend that AGAW Gold isn't just a daily trip through the archives to pad out the blog, and is instead, the cream of the crop!!

Apple says we're not supposed to reveal actual sales figures, so you won't find any of those inside.
You will find a nice graph, though!

<img src="https://socoder.net/AGAWGold_256.png" style="float:right"> Aaah, March 2010. The month of MAR10! I decided to dedicate the entire month to Mario, and spent the whole month remaking classic AGameAWeek games, but with Mario costumes on all the characters!
I remember it like it was yesterday.
Except it wasn't yesterday.

The Amiga was nearing the end of its life cycle and my local Game store was slowly getting rid of its Amiga stuff. It was sad to find all your favourite games crammed into that little corner of the store where only the geekiest kids would huddle.
Then one day, I spotted a bright blue stripy box.
"Blitz 2.0!???
Oooh!

<img src="https://socoder.net/AGAWGold_128.png" style="float:left"> Sometimes, I like to test different aspects of game development.
Will a certain game work better with larger wonderfully presented HD artwork, for example?
Since I'm no artist, as we're all well aware by now, I went the opposite way, and tried to figure out what Asteroids might look like in HD, if it used even smaller sprites!!

Release
4th March 2013
I was a little disappointed to find there was no AGameAWeek Gold waiting for me, this morning.
I wondered... How often will it actually appear?
Have I actually produced enough games to keep it going EVERY DAY?
I wrote a little script to find out.

AGameAWeek is meant to happen on Tuesdays.
I've stated numerous times that SpikeDislike2 will be released on March 5th, which is also a Tuesday.
.. But Apple.. .. Apple don't give you times..!
On Apple's hugely chaotic iTunesConnect site, you can happily pop a Release Date into the mechanism, but there's no way to state a Release Time.
Given that AGameAWeek happens on a Tuesday Morning, GMT, I can't then expect US folk to have to inexplicably wait an extra 6 hour...

Before today, there's been that niggling doubt.
If SpikeDislike2 didn't get Apple Approval, the whole thing would have to be rescheduled.

This morning, SpikeDislike2 received it's Apple Approval!

It's our latest regular feature! Hurray!
Each month, I'll spend about five minutes doodling some stupid pixellated artwork, then scale it up to insane proportions, and slap it on the internet for all to see.
If you like the chunky, heavily pixellated, oversized desktop images, you might like to use these as your system/devices wallpaper.
Oh, what fun.

Good Grief, it's been a long long time since a little video clip caused utter chaos in my Twitter feed!
I feel that last night's occurrence needs a little explaining, because people are WAY more hyped about it than they probably should be!!

Last night I had a random idea, and drew up a silly board game.
Since then, the idea has annoyingly festered, and so this morning, I'm doing a complete relaunch of yesterday's silly idea, complete with all new advanced rules!

SpikeDislike2 will be released on March 5th, 2013


Head inside for more details.

Happy Blockman Day!
It's been 4 years since the last Blockman Gets game was released, so it's about time we had another!
Blockman Gets Hungry strips out the boulders, takes out the power-pellets, and instead uses fruit for various functions.
There's four different fruit to eat.

We're about a week away from the intended March 5th Release Date, (assuming I can get everything sorted soon!) so I figured it's probably about time that I post about my plans for SpikeDislike2.
Obviously, if SpikeDislike2 is going to be on sale in the AppStore, players are going to need an incentive to buy it, but if I'm also going to release a Windows/Android/Browser edition, for free, what extras would the iOS folk be paying for?
Well, here's where the plan comes in.

For the past couple of years, my birthday has been "SpikeDislike Freebie Day".
This year, that's not going to happen
The final version of SpikeDislike2 is REALLY close, but not quite close enough. SpikeDislike will be made free for a few days when SpikeDislike2 is released, in a couple of weeks time.
Meanwhile, though, my first iOS Monkey game has managed to blunder it's way through Apple's review team, and is all nice and active on th...

Last night I finished off the C3ntipong stuff, and got the release edition compiled, tested, double-checked, and uploaded to Apple.
That's it! It's gone.. It's off.
There's no turning back, now!
In about a week's time, C3ntipong may very well pop up on the AppStore, assuming it gets approved!
