New Summer Project

So I’ve started a new game dev project that I plan to finish during the summer. This game will be designed, programmed, published, and sold in Steam and hopefully on Xbox Live Arcade, but that might be me being a bit ambitious and I’m hoping to at least finish the game by the end of…

Ninja Jesus Update 5/31/14

So as of the last update of Ninja Jesus (Ninja Jesus Post-Compo To-Do) I had done pretty much nothing with Ninja Jesus. So far I have implemented: A game over screen A Score displayed based on Waves Added Arrow Keys Fixed the Enemy Spawn Glitch And after talking with a friend and getting some feedback…

Ninja Jesus Post-Compo To-Do

So I wanted to keep you guys informed as to what I am doing for my post compo version of Ninja Jesus (you can play the original here but keep in mind I made it in two days). The first thing is art. And you can see why if you play the game. I need basic…

Game Dev Blog

So I recently took part in the Public Domain Jam. My entry, Ninja Jesus (Awesome title, right guys) has got me really excited about game development. So I’m changing the direction of this blog. I’m now a writer for The Daily Chill where I review games. Instead of stretching my self over these two blogs, I’m going…

Game Development for Beginners

         If you’re reading this, you probably want to start making games. But you don’t know how. And that’s what I’m going to help with here. Even if you don’t know anything about code don’t let that stop you. I’m not going to teach you how to program or exactly how to work whatever engine you’re…

Frozen Endzone

         I’m not a sports person. I follow no teams and hate watching almost everything. Having said that, I really enjoyed Frozen Endzone.

The Castle Doctrine

         I begin this review with yet another death in The Castle Doctrine still fresh in my mind. Because the game is difficult. Very difficult. The premise is that you live in a neighborhood made up of nothing but convicted criminals that have a habit of laying elaborate traps that include guard dogs, deadly pits, electric…

Linebound

           Linebound is a fast paced, simple input game for Android. You travel along a single line that weaves around in front of you. There are only two buttons to control your character, a simple white dot. Those controls are the left and right of the screen. Push left and the…

Quarries of Scred

Quarries of Scred              Quarries of Scred is a basic 2D arcade game. The goal is to collect gems and money to beat the randomly generated seed you play on. You have to sell your gems to afford a teleporter pass to finish the seed. “Tech” abilities are available to purchase for the money you make…

Black Ice

          I like to think of Black Ice as FPS Hacker. And that’s what it is. You walk around in what can only be described as visualized cyberspace. There are buildings, all with different, interesting names like “X-People Inc,” “LaserHand Industries,” “Axiscom Mechanics Inc,” and the final, Boss building, “Finality Incorporated.” Your ultimate goal is to…
