I should probably make this a regular thing, again. It's always fun to get a little back'n'forth going.
Dan from SoCoderRecently, i saw a Choplifter game (Game Gear), on youtube and thought, with a bit of imagination,the rescuees looks like the platdude. So my idea is, if you like to make a Choplifter Clone or alike with platdude. At least something with Helicopter ? ^^; Views 171, Upvotes 15

I figured I should give a brief explanation as to how I'm generating the levels in RetroRaider.
This might become a regular series, so if you find this stuff interesting, be sure to let me know in the comments or email or twitter or whatever.. For RetroRaider, the map is split into an 8x8 grid, and each of those are split into a top and bottom. For the sake of making things easier on myself, I decided to make an 8x16 grid.

DevelopmentsFolk who enjoyed Alpha Collexion after it's December "Advent" mode, might've noticed that the menu system randomly picks a different game each day. I've been using this to pluck a random slot, to try to design a game. Yesterday, it picked out "L", and I got the word Lemming stuck in my head. Views 11, Upvotes 2

DevelopmentsJumped back and forth through a couple of things, yesterday, but mostly spent more time working on the level builder. Things are starting to look a little more varied, and thankfully the addition of vertical scrolling has added a little bit more. I'm currently worried about making sure the levels are completable, as I haven't yet added an AI player run-through of the level, to ensure it's at least playable. I'll have to do that next, I suppose. In the meantime... Views 10, Upvotes 4

DevelopmentsMore files.. Found a whole bunch of old videos on one of my old hard drives, so spent literally HOURS, last night, copying them over to the NAS drive. Bah. Windows 10 seems to focus a lot on file transfers, meaning my laptop was practically unusable whilst the transfer was taking place. I certainly didn't have that issue last week when transferring millions of files from NAS to NAS, so it's either Win10 that's doing it, or the fact that I was transferring from... Views 9, Upvotes 2

DevelopmentsOh, boy, did I sleep, yesterday!! Saturday night was FAR too hot, and I couldn't settle at all. I spent most of the night lying in bed, listening to music and not achieving anything at all. Sleep wise, I got around about 2 hours total, leading to a very very sleepy Sunday! Suffice to say, Sunday I got NOTHING done.. Nothing at all, except for sleeping. Views 6, Upvotes 2

On previous releases of "Arcade Slots" games, people have consistently whinged that the games are "TOOOOOO RANDOM!!!". They then inexplicably ignore the actual game, and get stuck in a "OMG! ITS RANDOM!" loop, whereby they can't seem to enjoy the games at all.
Of COURSE the games are Random! They're supposed to be random! It's a flamin' Slot Machine.. That's the whole bloomin' point of slot machines! .. But people can't seem to let go, so this time around I opted to pre-empt their whinging by a... Views 3, Upvotes 1

You may have noticed a slight lack of gaming over the past couple of months. Usually I cut down on AGameAWeek during the closing months of a year, and instead focus on a larger project, but over the course of this year I've already tackled a number of larger projects.
Blockman Worlds, JNK Bombers, Future Classics.. They've all been substantially larger than my standard weekly output. As such, I'm actually struggling to come up with a decent "end of year project" that would be worth tackling. Views 74, Upvotes 3
