Each week, Player's submit their thoughts on that week's game. Let's see what people thought of Bug destruction!

RSKGames

Game Overview: In a randomly generated level infested with a small number of big green bugs and lot of smaller white bugs the player is a floating exploding bomb. Using just 3 bombs per level the player has to kill all the green bugs to progress to the next level.

Over the past 3 or 4 weeks, I've been slowly getting back into the swing of doing iOS games. Two releases so far, (Quadoban and Letter Lattice) and today's AGameAWeek (Bugsplodings) has just, within the past hour or so, been uploaded for Apple Review. I thought I should write a blog about why these three have been created, and also explain why I've not yet gone "FULL PROMO!!!" about the games. (Warning : Long waffling post!)

Last month's GamerBlock finally showed up yesterday, and.. It was a bit rubbish! My thoughts (URL "https://socoder.net/?GotoPost=60916">are here).

Lots of work on SoCoder, yesterday, but .. Not a lot to show for it.

Yesterday was a day full of peeks and pokes.

Yesterday, I got the level generator mostly working for this week's game.

Oh.. Workshop... :

Waiting...

For the past day and a half, my laptop's fan's been kicking off like crazy. Watching Task Manager, it was all down to Windows Modules Installer Worker, working away in the background, killing all CPU, Memory and Disk access for what must've been about 12 hours in total.

Messing About With a Handheld

Although I've had to wrangle quite a few bits around, and tweak various settings here and there, for the most-part, my Emulation Archive now has a new home on the GPD xd.

I didn't get any game-dev done yesterday

Nearly up to 400 games in the Jayenkai Archive ((URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/Games/">currently 393!)), and boy, am I struggling for game names, lately!?!

I'm enjoying my long lazy weekend!

If any comments are made on AGameAWeek games, they'll end up in this giant sprawling topic of feedback! You can (URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/0401">download Read Error A here), for Windows, play it in your browser via HTML5, and hopefully it'll be available on Razer Forge soon, unless they think it's broken

Whatever will I make, this week!? Hmm...

Five years ago today, I was rushed into Bolton Royal Hospital with a sore neck, and extremely high blood pressure! To find out the cause, they did a CT scan, and they were shocked to find a giant tumour in my head. They sent the scans to Salford Royal Hospital, where a team of specialists suggested I get there ASAP, and I was once again popped into an ambulance and rushed up there. Over the next five or six months, the NHS surgeons battled with my crazy blood pressure, my insane amounts of brain flui...

No coding, yesterday. No music. No nuffin'!! I just played Switch.. Mmm.. Switch.

HTML5 doesn't let you send data between different domains. Whereas my games are hosted at GameJolt.com, the scoreboards are hosted at AGameAWeek.com.  Because of this, the online scoreboards have had to have been removed from the HTML5 edition. There are two possible solutions. 1. Host the games here. 2. Stick some kind of "Pay it on your desktop for online high scores" notification in the game. It's an odd situation to be in, as so far I've tried to make all versions somewhat similar. &...

Way way way back in time, I got an Amiga 600 for Xmas.Loading up DPaint for the first time, I wanted to test how much I could do with it's animation feature. DPaint IV had two animation modes. Full Frame or Compressed.  With compressed, as long as you stuck to minor changes, you could get a decent number of frames out of it.  In Full Frame mode, I could typically get 4 frames of animation!!  With the newfangled Mouse control, I scribbled a silly little 4 page cartoon.
