I can't remember the last time I added an icon to a Windows game!
.. I'm not even sure if I ever did...!

Oh, the joys of having the ability to generate your background from tiles

I had to rejig a small amount of the framework, yesterday, to allow me to access the controller's thumbsticks separately from the d-pad.

Finally got the Bonus Eggs working the way they should.
You can now collect them, flap around with them, and earn extra points by having them with you.
Next up is adding Flame Bars back into the mix, to make the levels a little more difficult to navigate around.

Scoring's been added to Flappadiddle-Doo, and the new bonus mechanic is integrated to the scoring, but isn't yet added to the gameplay.

Yesterday ended up being much more productive than I intended it to be.
With the Linux re-installation, the CPC coding and the ALChoon, I managed to get a fair amount of stuff done.

Planned to do coding, today. And, though I did do some coding, it wasn't anything to do with the Framework!

It began, last night, at about 2am.
*pop*

The framework's looking quite stable, but there's no guarantees that it is!
As such, I'm currently thinking of making February a full month of Flappadiddle 2.

Each weekly release will be a slightly more fixed up edition of the game, and hopefully over the course of February, I can build the game up to a decent enough standard, and drag the Framework along with it.

A familiar set of spikes to dislike, and a nice variable path to follow.
Next will be adding in other objects to play with!

People might look at the fact that I spent all day, yesterday, working on an "unrelated" Icon Resizer project, but the new framework needed a new version of the tool.

Having spent a couple of hours playing Flappadiddle, last night, I wondered what a new version of Flappadiddle might turn out like.
I should probably work on getting the framework up and running before doing that, though..

I spent most of yesterday, once again, trying to get Android to work.

1. Finish the framework!
This is the biggest item on the list.
I'm currently considering cobbling together a half-assed version so that I can start releasing my first few Windows games.

I'd like to wish all visitors a very Happy New Year.

May 2018 bring many wonderful things... and maybe a sequel to Flappadiddle!!

An unexpected addition to the comments, as @RSKGames decides to give us a lovely "Top 15 Games of the Year" list!
Thanks
As we have come to the end of games this year, following is my top 15 (10 was not enough so 15) AGAW games this year.

15. Pigeon's Treat

Developments

The replacement game is coming along rather well, although there's not much of a game in there, yet.

Tonight I gave Flappadiddle a quick test on iOS.
I've expanded the "ground" on either side, making them slightly taller and wider.
This is where your thumbs will go whilst playing the game.

I started a new spreadsheet the other day. Oooh, Excite!!!

Each week, players send their notes on that week's release.
Let's take a peek at their comments, and share some random thoughts, too!

Initial Thoughts: Looking at the screenshots during the development I felt the game is going to be a fun flying game like "Flapaddidle" but the use of a bird and the background are the only similarities between the 2 games. The gameplay is totally different game. In this game the bird can only fly or dive once per key press no flapping aro...

If you eat a Pigeon's Treat,
It could be bad, or it could be sweet.

Regular game reviewer RSKGames has sent his thoughts on this week's game.

There's nothing stopping you, and you'll even get your own section in these posts.

A bit of a redux from one of the minigames in the Read Error A collection.

I played Flappadiddle for about an hour, last night!!
