Got loads of stuff done, yesterday! .. But still haven't finished Trilume.

*phew* That was a scorcher..

Best thing about far too hot and having to sit at the opened front door all day, sweltering in the heat..?
.. You get tons of drawing done on your SmileBASIC game!

It's too hot to code, and the UK Heatwave is about to kick off into temperatures previously unseen in the UK since the '70s!
Oh joy!

Yesterday, after posting a video of Alien Deathmatch Arena (SmileBASIC) to Twitter, I tried linking to the original Alien Deathmatch..
.. The result was less than perfect.

With the addition of enemies, the Greenie game feels a little more.. Gamey..?

Right then, first Monthly Switch game.. Time to get drawing!

The layout for RetroRaider is proving to be tougher than it oughta be.

Guard the tomb from the evil lizards. Take the sword, it's dangerous when you're alone.

A rather simple little platformer with switches. Toggle all three in the right order to open the door, then escape before the evil colourful butterflies stab you to death.

Yesterday was one of those days where I opened up files, stared blankly, then eventually closed them again.

Yesterday, me and Michael Fernie got into a back&forth about AGameAWeek history, the reasons for the creation of old games and whatnot.
He suggested I start some kind of "trip down memory lane" thing, discussing old games and talking about what made me make them.
The answer to a LOT of the early AGameAWeek classics is, of course, Wednesday Workshop.

Guide our intrepid hero through the clockwork maze, to gather up the mystical Clockwork Bananas.

With each passing set of games, comes the inevitable influx of comments and thoughts.
Let's have a peek at the latest game comments!

Todo list incoming!

Day Three, and as much as the new iPad-based setup is somewhat ideal.. It also isn't..

Another example of me flying through the generation of a Foldapuz game.

(As in.. A board made of cards!)
Move around the Card Board and score points as you go.
Points are awarded when you land on an unturned card, based on the card's value (Ace = 1, Jack = 11, Queen = 12, King = 13)
If you land on a Diamond, you'll earn twice as much. A Heart will give you another go. Landing on a Spade will cause you to Lose the points, whilst landing on a Club will award the points to all the other players.
The winner is the player with the most points, once...

Nope.. Can't call it that..
Bubble Pixie, then?
Will that do?!
Need to get some nice death-avoidance/maze type things going, but the basic control scheme seems to be working nicely.

Work continues on my bulking up of my Petit Switch Framework, with the titlescreen now looking a little more familiar to regulars.

Help the ranger keep his forest clear of evil flying mutant death-balls, by blasting them out of the skies.
