OK, I think I've worked out most of the kinks in my papercraft arcade machine. (URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/2014/07/got-paper/">Previously...)
There are still a few niggly bits, most notably that top bit, where you can't quite wrestle it into place without getting gobs of glue everywhere.. And there are oodles of little white gaps everywhere, which I really oughta sort out, but if I'm honest, that's probably more down to my crappy hand-eye co-ordination at the minute. (Shaky hands makes for terri...

I wonder what on earth the mystery object could be!?!?
Print out, and piece together to find out!

A quick test..
I recently bought a nice new printer, and figured it might be nice to design a little Arcade cabinet thing.
Bloody fiddly bastard! I didn't quite have the patience, so gave up trying!!

A randomly doodled oddity, this month.
Not sure why I ended up drawing this, if I'm honest, but never mind!!

Welcome to February, everybody!
... How is it already February!!?
In preparation for Tuesday's game, here's a lovely big wallpaper with a tiny little helicopter!

Sorry, been FAR too focused on coding to have thought about the monthly wallpaper's, so we'll start the year with a nice simple Platdude wallpaper.

The aim for December is to make a nice little test version of JNKPlat, and see what devices it does, or doesn't work well on.
I'm going to try my best to make Touchscreen controls work with the game, but after years of trying various methods, that's probably not going to work out.
Either way, no matter what happens, by the end of the month there'll be a brand new mini-adventure for Platdude, in keeping with his Puzzle/Platform stylings.
The Windows and OUYA editions should be fine, but And...

This month is all about NeonPlat Extreme, as I slowly bulk up a minimalistic game with tons of brand new features!
Woot!
To celebrate, here's a lovely great big wallpaper!

I've no idea how far I'll manage to get with this game, and currently only have the main sprite, and logo drawn.
That's pretty much the entire extent of this game, so far!
But I'll carry on, and see how far I can get with it.
Since I have such wonderfully high-resolution assets, though, I decided to make a lovely little wallpaper with them.

To mark five whole years since (URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/2013/09/agameaweek-gold-jnkplat-ds-08/">the release of the greatest JNKPlat game, EVER), I've decided to do a JNKPlat themed desktop this month.
Nice and simple!

Hello, I'm Jayenkai, and in 5 days time, I'll be adding the 300th game into my Archive.
300 games that I've single handedly created over the course of the past decade.
Today, I received the following email.

We're a little bit later than usual, this month, but only because I couldn't come up with anything.
This morning, I spent a little time making a new Facebook Avatar, and figured "what the hey! might as well big-ify it, for a wallpaper!" so, this is that!!

Over the course of July, I'll be working on a nice new edition of RetroRaider.
It currently looks a lot like the old versions, but I'm hoping to tweak things quite a bit, this time around.
No idea how well this'll turn out, but .. It oughta be good!
So, in honor of July being RetroRaider month, here's a nice new RetroRaider Desktop.

It's Saturday, and I've not really started a game for this week.
Well, that's not entirely true.
I've actually started three games, this week, but all of them seemed to hit a dead-end pretty early on, so I've not really got anything to show for it.

As unplanned as AGameAWeek usually is, I at least have a rough idea of what'll be occurring.
Tuesdays, release a game. Wednesday's think about a game idea. Thursday/Friday start a game. Saturday/Sunday bulk the game out where necessary/possible, and Monday finish things up before we release it on Tuesday and start it all over again.
Along the way, we get trips into the AGameAWeek Gold archive, and there are other oddities like the Uninteresting Wallpapers, and other silly little things.
...

I bet you're wondering wtf this one is supposed to be!
You'll have to wait until Tuesday to play "Hoppy Bobby", but in the meantime you can adorn your desktop with this wonderful wallpaper

Oooh, nearly forgot about this feature!
Whoops!
Anyway, as I was sat wondering which of my current two projects to tackle, this morning, I inevitably decided to waste a few minutes making something entirely unrelated.
This month's wallpaper used two separate programs!!

This month's crudely designed desktop images comes courtesy of Karl's Tiny Adventure, from last week!
Luvly stuff!!

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.

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.

I might make this a monthly feature, or then again I might forget all about it!
Who can tell!!
If it's popular, someone will remind me!
Here's Platdude in a precarious position, for January!

So, my new iPod Touch Retina Wide/Long has finally turned up, and I instantly realized something I previously hadn't thought about. My lovely JNKPlat Homescreen no longer fits the longer/wider resolution on the new device. Bugger!!
Armed with only a Laptop and Paintshop Pro 7, I set about remaking the lovely picture, to fit the new resolution.
If you're a crazy JNKPlat super-fan, you can grab both the old-Retina and the new-Retina-Wide editions right here.
Enjoy, or ignore, either/or!

Since I'm now doing AGameADay for a while, I figured it might be somewhat of a change of pace if I also did one of those "blog" things daily.
I tried doing this during my previous month off, and although it kinda worked, it didn't really last.. d'oh!
Still, try and try again!
As a reminder, I've set up a calendar alarm thing to bleep at me, every night, at 22:15GMT.
Either that'll work really well, or it'll start to tick me off, to the point where I throw my otherwise completely and ...

I made this about 4 or 5 days ago, and have had it as my desktop on about 3 different systems.
Oooh, it's luvly! (Even if I do say so myself)

There's a game-logic-error in the thing, but other than that it's a nice looking desktop.
It's a massive 3200x3200 pixels, but should scale nicely to your resolution... If...

Haven't started on this week's game, or the new music engine, yet, and am already thinking of even more "other" things that must be done. (To be fair, my todo list has about 15 items on it! So I'm hopping all over the place doing lots of different things)
You might've noticed that I'm not linking to the Archive, lately.
That's because it isn't quite doing it's job at the minute, and it all needs fixing up.
There's a whole bunch of stuff that needs updated, including a YouTube video embedd...
