Yesterday I posted a test version of NeonPlat Adventure 2 over on the OUYA Forum, where people could download and test the game, to see how it is in it's current state.
Of the two commenters so far, I don't think either of them actually have tried it out, yet, which is a shame because in the world of AGameAWeek, I'm going to be ploughing ahead, and any issues they come up with will probably be out of date by the time they tell me about them! (This is why AGameAWeek is usu...

More complicated work playing with the level generator, yesterday. I still have LOADS to do, and progress has been somewhat slow, but I'm taking my time and trying to account for lots of different things at the same time.
There are some elements that need to be missed out, this time around. Ladders and "drop down" things simply won't work on a touchscreen, unless I start making the onscreen dpad do up and down, which honestly, I'd rather not do. One single axis is plenty...

Give it the obligatory 10 day wait, and you should be playing the 5 new themes in portrait mode without parallax scrolling! (or howe...

As a kid, I was never a big Nintendo fan. I had a Gameboy and I LOVED Tetris, but much as is the case nowadays, I tend to code and create more than just play.
I continue to buy Nintendo consoles and handhelds, even today, because theirs are the games that I get the most fun and enjoyment out of.
Mr Iwata was first and foremost a developer, and I can only hope that Nintendo finds another suitably developer-minded he...

Aaah, iTunesConnect.
When Invisible Munky 2 launched, the other day, I noticed something odd in my iTunesConnect pages.
Where there's usually a "Request Promo Codes" link, there was none.

Lots of background work, yesterday, as I continued to work on the menu system.

Well, it was somewhat inevitable that I'd keep the "Not Mario, Honest!" theme in the game.

After a number of tweaks and fixups, the theme doesn't look "too" Mario-esque. It's still got...

Not a whole lot of news from yesterday, but that was mostly due to me not being in a coding mood.
Instead, I did at least manage to create the following ALChoon.

Yesterday, I completely rejigged the "Bounce" of SpikeDislike.
Originally, the bounce was a simple Sine-wave, and has in fact been this in EVERY version of SpikeDislike, but this time I'm hoping to add a couple of new elements which have required a minor tweak in the usual ball bouncing mechanic.
This isn't something to be taken lightly, as I had to be absolutely sure that the end result still "felt" like Classic SpikeDislike.
At the moment it's a teensy bit fl...

Yesterday I found myself trying out a variety of themes, to figure out what does and doesn't work in the new engine.
Here's a brief selection of those tested.

After an unscheduled break, we're back with a brand new "Platdude In" title, this time driving around a racetrack in a go kart!
It's almost as if I've spent the past few weeks doing nothing but playing Mario Kart 8!!!

This week's game has been started, but progress is slow. There's no particular reason for this, just that my mind doesn't seem to be in a game making mood.
Instead, I've been playing Mario Kart 8 and Tomodachi Life, as well as faffing about with various website tweaks, and doing other none-productive things.
I guess my mind must need a rest or something, as I seem to be taking a lot of breaks lately.

Journey with Platdude, as he leaps from planet to planet, in this epic universal quest to get some nice shiny gems.
