I need to come up with a nice concept for the art style of this week's game. Hopefully I can easily manage to do bog-standard sprite recolouring on the actual "path" tiles, but I'll have to draw all the different angles and things, for the turns they could take .. Urgh.. At least they're only one-way paths, and won't do crossovers or anything like that. That would be extra complicated!

Today is day three of getting the house repointed, and it's really not helping my code-mood in the slightest.

Yesterday, as I watched the empty scoreboards once more, I decided it was probably about time I "switched them on" properly. -=-=- Note : In order to activate online scores on my recent games, hop into the options screen, and Enter Your Name.

This week's game is currently alarmingly difficult. With all the little bats floating around inside the cramped space, it can be extremely difficult to make simple moves without getting caught out.

I didn't get an awful lot of gameplay implemented into this week's game, yesterday, but the basic bits and pieces are in the engine. I've decided another remake's in order, and am focusing on NeoPlat. Not NeonPlat, the happy neon Desktop game, but NeoPlatDS, the little Original DS game about landing on floors, or something!!

I've often wondered about stats like this, so today I built a quick little took to make a little stat list for me. (55%) 499 3DSBrew (17%) 158 Windows (14%) 132 Linux (11%) 106 MacOSX Downloads (since May 1st) of games created using my new C++ Framework.

JNKPlat 2018

A new JNKPlat 2018 adventure is in the works.

Saturday. My "week-off" is nearly over. As I look back at what I've achieved this week, I'm somewhat astounded by how little I've managed to get functioning correctly.

...you must first, Break EVERYTHING!!!

Yesterday was all about planning, as I took a few important steps towards recoding the framework to work with Metal. Lots of little chunks of ideas, setting aside methods and preparing to sit and do the coding. The intention was to get everything ready and then spend last night actually sat at the Mac getting things up and running. I was ready to get going, so headed upstairs for "Evening Session" coding time, and then...

Today I'm going to reattempt the "Draw tiles to a buffer, draw the buffer" stuff.

God damnit, Apple..

I spent ages yesterday finding the right balance. Playing Blockman Gets and Blockman Gets More, there's a distinct feeling that something's missing from More.

I mostly switched off, yesterday.

Boy, it's not fun trying to doodle a bunch of mazes for Blockman games. I HOPE that I'm sticking with the current 25x15 maze size, because having to remake all these maps would drive me slightly crazy.

After every game's release, the influx of feedback is intense! Let's see what @RSKGames thought of this week's game. @RSKGames Overview: A fun little endless side scroller with lot of jumping and endless supply of enemies.

I'm not 100% sure about those trees...

Everything's now nice and playable. It's a little bit difficult, but nothing you can't master with a little practice. Todo-list contains things like giving the game a name. I'd like to retain the "Fiery Fourth" name that Eikon started, but there's very little "Fiery Fourth" remaining in this game, if I'm honest!! ... And yet... So, title, then the usual screenshots, compiles, etc. The game should hopefully be finished and ready to go at some point tomorrow, but I might hol...

Blockman Gets "Something" Spike Dislike JNKPlat 2018 Three classic AGameAWeek games that I really think should exist on the 3DS, more than anything. An Alien Deathmatch would be nice, too

Can I get an entire game up and running in just a short couple of days? Only one way to find out!!

I can't seem to get anywhere on this weeks game, as my mind is leaping between two different ideas.
