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.

All 3DS games have been recompiled, today, so they all now feature the most recent version of the framework, and are bundled into cia/3dsx packages. Roland Eats a Stale Biscuit now has working music, On a Space Shooting Trail lets you fly further into deep space, and a couple of other minor fixes have been made along the way. Enjoy, hacky folk!

I might add a few extra functions for primitive drawing, or maybe a setting somewhere or something. It's not too much of an issue, in that I know why it's drawing things at different scales, but it'd be a little easier if I didn't have to worry about whether something's going to be "The same scaled position as the larger desktop version" or "The exact location on the screen"

Today, I've rejigged a lot of the framework's opening memory gubbins, although not the way I'd've liked. In the end, rather than solving my memory management issues, I actually ended up stripping out the largest array completely, meaning that all additional lines (ship trail, bullet trail, explosion trails) in "On a Space Shooting Trail" are all now missing on the 3DS edition. They're not anything you'll specifically miss, especially on the tiny 3DS screen, but .. they're defin...

I tried to compile "On a Space Shooting Trail" for 3DS tonight, but it wasn't having any of it! Seems that my habit of creating giant arrays, at launch, isn't very good when it comes to trying to then run them on the limited 3DS. It seems that if I "alloc" the big arrays at a later point, they tend to work better than if I try to just declare "I'm having a ginormous array, here!", right at the start of the code. The task, then, will be to rewrite a significant part of "On a Space Shooting T...

Today I was reminded of the classic Amiga puzzler "Pushover".

With each release comes an influx of feedback from the many people who've played the games. This week, @RSKGames takes a look at an underwater Snake clone. You can Download Slithering Waters here.

The title font design with the wavy pattern is nicely done.

Flappadiddle-Doo and On A Space Shooting Trail are now both up on itch.io and GameJolt. The itch.io collection doesn't seem to be too popular, right now, but it'll be interesting to see if interest grows as the collection does. With GameJolt, there was a lot of excitement with my first couple of games, but then it all died down and went quiet. Hopefully itch.io turns out to be the opposite?! Current count Itch.io 2 - jayenkai.itch.io/ GameJolt 97 - gamejol...

I *think* I've solved the online component of the framework, on Mac+Linux, now. So, with the fix done, I've uploaded a new version of "On a Space Shooting Trail", which should hopefully work properly, now! If you've Linux or Mac, be sure to let me know if it does or doesn't work! Be sure to "Enter Your Name" in the options menu. For Windows folk, I've chopped the "Time until you can shoot again" right the way down to about 1 second. Should be much less frustrating, now. *phew* ...

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

RSKGames

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 simple white s...

The second game in the new C++ Framework is another familiar favourite, as we battle once again, in the neon skies.

So the shooty game (On a Space Shooting Trail) is near enough done. Today I'll be needing to compile and upload, and then you'll get to play. I know it's only Sunday, but there's no point in keeping the game to myself, when it's already ready for launch. So, what's next then? I've nothing specific in mind for this week, so if you'd like to see me tackle anything in particular, let me know in the comments.

Title by RSKGames!

Spent about an hour cursing at Android again, last night. "Hey, why not download out wonderful Android Studio, which makes everything a breeze!" ... Bah, humbug..

Player goes right, bullets are working, baddies appear, deaths and kills. All is working well.

I seem to be making a new Horizontal Shooter. Thus far, I've got bullets and a trail working, but I'm not sure if I'll be keeping the "Catch a bullet" mechanic of previous versions.

Awww, the lovely lovely thick snow.

OK, let's get things kicked off properly.

An unexpected addition to the comments, as @RSKGames decides to give us a lovely "Top 15 Games of the Year" list! Thanks As we have come to the end of games this year, following is my top 15 (10 was not enough so 15) AGAW games this year.

Each week (or whenever I get aroud to releasing a game!) Players submit their thoughts. I say players, but it's pretty much just RSKGames at this point. Feel free to submit your own thoughts, and I'll add them to these posts!!
