Bonus iOS Game!

For iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad (£1.19/$1.99/equiv.)

Got an iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad?
Grab Sheep Goes Left!!
Go get it!
It's out now!

I'll be posting the semi-demo half-assed ported to Win/Lin/Mac edition as Tuesday's AGameAWeek, so you can try it out there, but the iOS one's much neater, has nicer menus, lovely swooshy bits, and even contains a wonderful little 20-track soundtrack! (woot!)
Additionally, much like SpikeDislike turned out, the iOS one will be getting the updates, while the Win/Lin/Mac one ends up being somewhat ignored. Not because I'm a mean spirited evil bugger, but because I can't really be bothered to constantly jump back and forth, porting little bits and pieces over and over again, whilst simultaneously building loads of levels, and keeping up with AGameAWeek, too! Far too much at once!
What'll more likely happen, is that I'll get a bulk of the iOS one done (I have about 4/5 releases in mind so far), and then throw all of that into a big Win/Lin/Mac one, once it's all finalised.
Seems less tweaky that way!

For now, if you have the opportunity, go grab the iOS one, and see how far you can get.


ps, yes, it's a Tier 2 price. That means it's twice the price that SpikeDislike was.
SpikeDislike took about a week to make, and is all random elements.
This one's taken a month, has (for me!) decent background art, 20 pieces of music, and 100 levels.
Hopefully that all counts for something!

The other day I played another of those Fire Escape style games.
You know the ones.
They started on the Game&Watch and got remade over and over.

I might skip another AGAW, this week, sorry!

I have a half-game play-thing half done, but I've just started another one of those spur-of-the-moment things that might take over my entire weekend.
.. again..

I'd love to, but considering it's taken me about 6 months to get around to fixing Ubuntu (just starting, may not go well!!) the chances of me fixing my DSBrew stuff is pretty darned minimal.
Sorry!

If this week's game isn't finished by Friday night, I'm going to scrap it, and do something else..

As you can probably see, it isn't done yet.
I'm currently making it a Two-Week project, but the longer I drag it out, the more it's starting to feel like Box's Romp... big.. spacious.. empty.. void... boring.. .. it really isn't feeling like it's worth doing it.

damnit, I hate when projects get like that.

Fingers crossed, eh!

Last Sunday, I came up with a fun idea for a game/experiment.
I figured it was WAY too big to fit into the next day and a half, so set it aside for this week, and instead made the silly block diggy thing that I did last week.

On Thursday, I properly started the bigger project, hoping that 5 days of work would be enough.
On day 1 I did the nice intro, made the outside-area work, and patted myself on the back for having done a really large job in a single day.



On day 2 I set about cut/pasting a large chunk of an old game into the new one. A bit of a cheat, but the outty bit should help make things feel rather different.
Day 3 I redrew a bunch of sprites so it looked a bit different, and today, Day 4, I'm sitting here trying my darndest to build a really really stupidly insanely large level!

Tomorrow, I'll still be building that level!
And then on Tuesday..
...
well, I'll probably still be building that level!

A smaller level would be quicker, and easier to achieve.
But that'd defeat the point.

If I'm not done, assume it'll be even nicer next week!

It's a Platform game, but it isn't.

It's a side-view Puzzle game, with Platformy events included.

A random game idea on Sunday, with a totally random name, and then a shock co-incidence when Monday turned out to be Roger Hargreaves' birthday, and the Mr Men ended up being plastered all over Google!
I couldn't have planned that.. I'm far too lazy to have planned that!

It's neat and simple.
A Matrix screen filled with code. Occasionally there's Red code. Zap the red code!
That's pretty much all there is to it!!

Today I'm battling the forces of evil.

Microsoft have "updated" my system so that all my games now run at about 1/3rd their normal speed.
Thanks, Microsoft! You're AWESOME!!!

1. I'm waiting for Puzzobomb to pop up on the App Store, assuming they like it, and let it up there!

2. NinjaDuck is slowly plodding away, but I have no idea what type of game it'll end up being.
I mean, I have a vague idea! Obviously it'll be a platformer! But other than that.. *shrugs*

3. I thought about Y-Box, and how that'd be a nice game to have on my iPhing.. Then I started juggling some sprites, built a nice set of gfx, but then couldn't be bothered to code anything.

4. I made a wall... If you know what wall this is, you'll have a vague idea of which game I'm not supposed to be making yet. If I actually do start doing this one, it'll probably bugger up AGameAWeek for a couple of weeks.
.. But at least it'll be a WiLMa game for a change, and not another iOS one!

I enjoyed my Month Off!

I've written a lovely quickstart framework, I've built a game and a half, I've posted more Tube vids and Tweets in a month than any month previously, I've tried to keep up the blog, AND I even had time to relax!!

A few games of GTA and Burnout meant my X360 was switched on for the first time in over a year!
I've been playing YouDon'tKnowJack on the iPod (Highly recommended, even if it is Americanised questions), and listening to months worth of unlistened podcasts!!

And that's not even counting the number of times I sat out the back, enjoying our wonderful weather, lately!!

What a Month!!!

I was supposed to keep the posts flowing during my month off, but Lazy Jay took control for the past few days, it seems!
No matter, here's what I've been doing.

If you're not too busy, Jay, why not try making another game!?
