Have a super squashing time.

Whilst rushing to complete this week's game, I found myself with less than an hour's battery remaining. I quickly opened up two virtual boxes, Linux 32 and Linux 64, and rapidly compiled both versions of the game. I then compiled the Win edition, and 3DS, too. Then I opened up the Mac via Remote Desktop, only to find it wanting to do a bazillion updates. My laptop's now on charge, the Mac's busy doing updates, and I'll finish everything off, later. Bah, humbug!! Game releases l...

You know you've made far too many games when you struggle to come up with a title for your newest game, and end up with...

A nice cool night, with oodles of rain outside. Aaah, normal Bolton weather has returned. That's my first proper lie-in since this summer-spell hit, a couple of weeks ago. A nice long sleep, and I'm now wide awake and ready to take on the many thing that I have planned! Today's checklist [X] Game Title [X] Screenshots [X] Icon [ ] Compiles [ ] Uploads That's the plan, let's see how far I can get!

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...

OK, now I'm really confused!!

Added a bit of greenery to the background, this morning, but had to rejig a bit of the 3DS's code so that the scaled-up sprites looked nice and "Nearest Neighbour", instead of .. Like they did an hour ago!! Pixel scaling FTW! I'm going to have to add a trail to the player, though. It's extremely easy to lose track of where you are, when it all gets hectic. But, yeah, looking good

This week's game now has audio, as well as oodles of death.

There's a nice new pool game available on iOS by @helvetica called Pocket Run Pool. (.com) People keep asking me on Twitter what it's like, because apparently I'm some sort of super-picky gamer when it comes to Pool games. My thoughts are that it's a really nice and fully formed "Ball" engine, that feel superb, and doesn't have of the annoying things that I usually tend to pick at when playing a Pool game. It's almost as if @helvetica's been reading my many rants about rub...

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

I've spent roughly a decade working in multiple scales, resolutions and ratios. I've dealt with Android, with it's 57,000 different possible resolutions. I've handled iOS with portrait/landscape orientations. I've coped with Windows with a bazillion different possible window sizes.. But 3DS, with one single screen resolution!?! AARGH!!!

Today's been a bit of a crazy day of maths, as I wrangled the numbers in order to get things to look vaguely accurate onscreen. The player's no longer colliding with the floor correctly, but at least now the little squishable creatures are all behaving like they should. Next to be added, a few powerups!

A lovely salad for dinner, but a single slice of cheese was enough to kick off a killer migraine!
