This is an emergency post. The future of AGameAWeek may be in jeopardy. Everything hinges on the decision I make within the next few hours. Do I do the Board Game thing, or do I do the Pancake thing?

Last week, there was no AGameAWeek. It was the clown's fault.. .. stupid clown.. (URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/iTunesArtwork.png"><img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/iTunesArtwork-300x300.png" alt="" title="iTunesArtwork" width="300" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2288" />With my newer shinier iOS Framework running the way it was more-or-less supposed to be, I decided to take a week ...

When I was building the beta versions of NeonPlat Adventures, it always included a little readme file. The final release didn't have one, but I figured that was ok, because it was so simple it didn't really need one. The original readme was only really there to explain that beta peeps shouldn't mention the Calendar, and then I kinda rambled on a bit! Anyhoo, if you find yourself in desperate need of a readme file, this is it!

54 games. Last year I only managed about 30-odd, so I think that's pretty good going. Sure, it might not have truely actually been A Game "Per" Week, but I did at least keep the ratio up. If I hadn't taken the time out to build the framework, I probably would've actually achieved the target a little better The stats show I was pretty much on top of things up until that point, but then things got slower and slower until my buffer zone was all dried up. Anyhoo, this is a nice big lengthy re...

Very rarely do I get feedback direct, other than from the few of you who seem to hang around here a lot, but there is feedback out there.. if you really hunt for it! This past couple of weeks have, as per usual, been all about the Two-Button-Jump. "OMG! Two!? WTF!" and so on. I can deal with those complaints, I've heard them many a time before, and even added the extra one-button rubbishy mode to help those who can't shut up about it. It's annoying, but what the hey. *fingers in ears* "La, La, La, ...

So, after having attempted to create a racing game and a word game, I've finally settled on a game that appears to be coming together nicely. Ninja Duck (temporary name, but they usually tend to stick) is about a Ninja who has a sword, and an oncoming swarm of ducks, frogs and birds. Simple stuff, on a nice small arena. <a href="https://socoder.net/uploads/1/arghfrog.png"><img src="https://socoder.net/uploads/1/arghfrog_thumb.png"></a> Not really too much gameplay, but just enoug...

It's that unexpected time, where I randomly choose to rummage through the bundles of silly game ideas, and pluck out the best/worst! Let's throw out the spam, and get started. ..

A simple game, this week, but one that's already evolved quite a bit. As I mentioned the other day, I actually got this game done earlier on in the week, and it was quite a bit of fun even then. Since then, I've updated it a couple more times, and now it's even better than it was! woot!! The game is based on an Amiga game I once played many, many years ago. A simple design. You swirl around the outside of the arena, moving the mouse left and right. You fire with the Left Mouse But...

Like Electronic Arts, my game titles are becoming ever more complex, with themes and years being added on, in an ever expanding way. No matter, it's still only 12 characters long, so that's ok Yesterday I made a decision that might break up AGameAWeek for a few weeks. I don't seem to have nearly enough time, recently, so I'll pad things out a bit, and work on a lengthy project. (Although, if it helps, I worked on a bunch of MidletPascal Java t...

You might have noticed a distinct lack of AGameAWeek, this week.. Since I'm getting little or no work done, this week, and.. what with being Xmas and all, I've decided to be lazy, and take a week off. Nothing wrong with that! If you feel you really need something new to play with, nip to yesterday's post, and you can grab the WhoSave thing. That's quite nice.. And you can pretend I posted that today, in time for the Xmas episode in 2 days time. Very festive!! If you'd like t...

With random spawning added, and basic weapon upgrades up and running, the game's getting much more like a game, now. <a href="https://socoder.net/uploads/1/ad2_shot007.png"><img src="https://socoder.net/uploads/1/ad2_shot007_thumb.png"> Basic Bog-Standard Arena</a>

The other day I considered redoing the whole wall structure. I considered making nice wonderful multidirectional walls, and levels with all kinds of diagonals, straight, and maybe even curves. It seemed like a good idea. Then I started to work on it, and... well.. it wasn't exactly super fast! In fact, things were painfully slow. As the game struggled to draw a single wall, with nice detail like the old one, I realised that drawing an entire arena in that way would only lead to drastic slowness o...

No need for a screenshot tonight, as there's not really anything worth looking at! Everything I did today was invisible background coding stuff! So nothing fancy to look at, but still some nice new things. I started off by squeezing the whole pixel by pixel arena out into a great big map array. I'm hoping (!) that it'll make things that bit more precise once I start adding in some walls (probably tomorrow) Basically, rather than having the player walk past/into/occasionally through blocks o...

All games must start somewhere, and Alien Deathmatch 2 starts right here! <a href="https://socoder.net/uploads/1/ad2_shot001.png"><img src="https://socoder.net/uploads/1/ad2_shot001_thumb.png"></a> This isn't the most entertaining shot I've ever posted, but it does show that work has now actually begun on the sequel.
