Invisible Munky is BACK! It only took 10 years for Invisible Munky to re-appear*, and in that time, it's learned an excellent new skill. <img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/complete/Invisible_Munky_2_20150330B_thumb.png"> <img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/complete/Invisible_Munky_2_20150330A_thumb.png">

I say "slow", but of course, I mean "Slow in the realm of AGameAWeek!" I've been working on Invisible Munky 2 for nearly THREE WEEKS, now! Blimey, that went fast! I'm currently working on building levels, and trying to keep the momentum of the game flowing in a decent manner. I'm also trying to add a decent mix of music, but it's all kinda samey. I might have to head in a completely different melodical direction, or something. *shrugs* Not sure! Anyway, the game currently contains 9 levels, and the...

I've had a fair amount of fun playing with Unity, but in all honesty, I haven't progressed far enough to make it worth the switch. I'm at the point, now, where I really need to make the big decision. Making the complete switch to Unity will require heavy work, recreating my entire framework, and getting everything up and running smoothly enough that I can rapidly cobble together AGameAWeek. And it's the "Rapidly cobble together AGameAWeek" bit that puts me off. At the moment, and I'll admit I am still t...

Hey, d'you have a GameStick? *tumbleweed* Well, for those who DO, you can now grab Alpha Collexion from the GameStick frontend doohickey, and give it a whirl.

Monday : I randomly decided to buy a Pebble Watch from Amazon. Tuesday : The Pebble Watch arrived, and I experimented by making a (URL "https://apps.getpebble.com/applications/54d115812a56ee50e0000005">Platdude WatchFace).

I expected to have to download a complicated devkit to get it all going, but was pleasantly surprised to find out that, in actual fact, you can do it entirely online. The IDE...

Prepare for a fully featured level! ( width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/vpYpzEgBtic" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>> Although, be aware that by the time you get to play it, this level may be different. Most of the basics are in there. There's a couple of baddies, a couple of weapons, collectables, and other bits and pieces. I've yet to add powerups (shield would be handy!) and the "Level Complete" could look a little bit less shit! ...

Enemy one is a bog standard squiggly looking alien creature. ( width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/R9i32sUR9tw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>> He moves around the room any-which-way, and turns whenever he hits a wall. He is very boring! Hopefully I can make a few more interesting creatures, later. For now, he simply does as you expect, and also saves his position when you exit/enter rooms, which is handy. More to come!!

Today, I added Barrels into the mix. I figured it best to hide the disks somewhere safe, so I put them inside barrels. A pile of barrels will appear in each and every room, so you'll have to do a lot of blasting to try and find the three disks. ( width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/leuTP0ZOUf8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>> I'm also considering putting other items in the barrels, such as extra lives, weapons and even randomly spawnin...

Since I'm spacing out my dev-time, I should hopefully have more time to do Dev-Diary type posts, as the games progress. Hopefully, this will give you a little more insight into the sort of decision making that goes into AGameAWeek. I'll also try to take the time to add odd bits and pieces of craptastic-useless-trivia whenever I get the chance. As frequent players will have noticed, I've been using a strange secondary numbering system for a long while. (Check out the Windows-Downloads to see them!) Th...

I've opted to call Year 7 the "Gap" Year, in the sense that not every week will be a game... There will be frequent Gaps! I'll be trying out the usual crazy ideas, but each game will be given a little more breathing room than I usually give them, in an effort to make games a little more substantial than they usually end up being. The Rules are as follows.. After week one, the game should at least be playable. If it isn't, then I throw it out and start something else. No good forcing bad ideas down p...

Things I should be doing. 1. A new Alien Deathmatch 2. A new RetroRaider 3. A new JNKPlat 4. That space-platformer-shooter thing 5. YBox Drops 6. SpikeDislike3 Each and every one is too large for a Weekly timescale, and as such, I've not started ANYTHING! They're all random unstarted ideas, waiting for "just the right time", but at the rate of AGameAWeek, there's never really going to be time to get around to them. Heck, I was supposed to do JNKPlat 2 years ago! I started it for the Xmas speci...

I'd like to wish you all a happy new year, and i hope that 2015 turns out great for everyone. (URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/IMG_7611.jpg"><img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/IMG_7611.jpg" alt="IMG_7611.JPG" class="alignnone size-full" /> AGameAWeek will resume shortly, but I still have tweaks to make on the Framework before I can start making games. ..Might be a week late!! But I'll try my best.

Sixty two!! That's 10 more games than there are weeks in the year! ..although, that's a teensy bit of a cheat. Technically, I've released 31 games,this year, but Future Classics is 7 games in one, and Alpha Collexion is 26 games in one, so when you add them all up, you get a nice big lovely number!!

Merry Christmas!! .... What do you mean, too early!? Well, ok, maybe it is.. In fact, as of right now, it's exactly one entire month early! But let's not let that get in the way.
