The gfx in the credits screen has a very good looking swirling ghost effect.
And what a lovely effect it is!

Shoebox has been limited to a 30fps mode, simply because initial tests showed my crappy laptop to suck at trying to run it at 60fps, and the fan kicks into gear!

Each week, a huge influx of emails and comments and thoughts flurry into view, as @RSKGames plays the game!
But RSK has competition, this week, as Spinal's joined in with some feedback, too!!

Those last few tweaks have taken up most of the day!

The video above shows a bunch of the stuff I've been doing, today.
The travellators were working the other day, as was the ability to hop up onto a ledge.
But pretty much everything else is new.

I think I've got the enemy ball AI working to a moderately decent degree, but of course I can't be 100% sure until the rest of the game is coded, and I'm actually facing him as an enemy.
Most of the day's coding was focused on making the enemy do corners a little better. Even with padded out corners, it was still managing to fall into the abyss much more than I'd like.
In the end, I got it balanced reasonably well. It still frequently plummets to its death, but then so does...

This racing game really doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

This week's game might end up carrying over to next week, as I still have an awful amount to do, and not a whole lot of time left for this week.
(Plus, it's Easter Weekend, and we've got family showing up, so there'll be less coding time for Jay!)

Having attempted a whole host of other ideas, this week, I'm currently back to driving a car around a small track.
Top-down, 2D, probably timer-based.
Today will be about getting the physics to work, and figure out exactly what style the game will take.

So, I scrapped the Sheep Herder engine, and started a new "time trial based" engine instead.
I got a classic Thrust style gravity ship, popped it at the start of the track on the top left of the screen.
Fire for Thrust and then left and right.

Had a nice long game of Super Scrabble against Mum, today, and the games last much longer, as expected!
Took about 2 hours, or thereabout, before one of us had won*.

With each release, the feedback is fed back, and I like to gather any important comments and post them into an easily accessible post.
This week's game is the lovely neon shooter, On a Space Shooting Trail

Last year I played one the NeonPlat games and marveled at the neon graphics style. This game has the same style but the way the looks is achieved seems to have matured a lot. Using the new framework some crafty blending techniques have been used to convert the simp...

Over on Twitter, earlier, @Magic_bane suggested that I should enter this competition.

As each week's release gets mentioned across the web-o-sphere, I trawl through comments and reviews, and post some feedback to the feedback!

A game of poking boxes!

If you're a Patreon subscriber, I've just launched a new series for Patreon's Only.
I've grabbed my almost 2-decade old notepad that lies near my computer, and have taken pics of every single page.

Although I've had it on my iPhone for a few months, I hadn't yet seen what it does to iPad.

Each week, after I post a game, I get a nice set of comments from people.
Let's take a look at this week's!

RollyBlob is a great puzzle game. The puzzle game mechanics are done
wonderfully. The 60 second timer keeps you on your toes to find the
solution fast.

Each week, people share their thoughts with my games, and I like to make little community topics where I can answer/comment on their comments!
It's a comment-o-rama!

@TimeKillerGames

I find a little more effort could be put in to the title screens of some of your more recent games. Why not do what you used to do, and add a little more visuals of some kind to it?

Regular game reviewer RSKGames has sent his thoughts on this week's game.
If you'd like to do similar, then do!

Things are flowing fairly well.

The glitch effect, 10 second restriction and widely different mini games gameplay has made this week's game as big as 17 ...

Time to move on to the next project. But whatever will it be!?

I got a nice amount of coding done, yesterday!

A game of Mathematics.
I hope you brought your calculator!!
