Oh, man, where did the week go!?
.. Oh yeah, Animal Crossing!!
This week's newsletter might appear a tad lacklustre, but you can blame Nintendo for that.
I'm not really sure what it is about selling fish to pay for a house, but there's something really magical about the entire game.
Two weeks in, and it's not letting me go. I recently bought a wetsuit, which has opened up whole new fishing methods! Oh boy!!
I just need to remember that I'm also supposed to be making AGameAWeek, at the same time!!
Since I'm in Nintendo-Mode, I've decided to make a change from my usual choice of Sonic music, whilst typing this week's newsletter, and have instead opted for this.. bit.ly/18jcMje
What have you achieved over the past month?
We all take a look back, and moan about how much time we spent playing Animal Crossing. socoder.net/?topic=3553
I've been keeping tabs on this one, for the past few weeks. @nickd3000 has been building a platforming quest-a-thon, which procedurally generates the levels and music and stuff.
Quite an effort, and looks fantastic.
He's now released a demo, and it's just as lovely.
Go and give it a whirl! (Oh, and that's a big .exe game, not a big .exe installer, btw!) thedungeoning.wordpress.com/demo/
; Hoppy Bobby
I typically avoid shoving my own stuff into the newsletter, but I think I might've fallen in love with this game!
Hoppy Bobby takes a really simple premise, and makes it crazy!
A single button jumping game which sees you leap from platform to platform.
There really is nothing more to it than that, and yet.. Somehow.. It's really really playable! socoder.net/?topic=3549
Growing up, you must've had a dream job that you really wanted to do, or perhaps a great big ambition you felt you needed to achieve.
How does real-life compare to your dreams?
Are you getting close, or is it all still a lifetime away? socoder.net/?topic=3555
; Congraduations
We all congratulate Spare on having graduated.
Three cheers to Spare!! socoder.net/?topic=3554
; Obama Sings
The Internet wouldn't be complete without a video of Obama singing Get Lucky! socoder.net/?topic=3552

Android folks: Do me a favour. Try one of my free games, to see if it runs. No matter how old your device is. t.co/dGUeyKBEUl

Hello! I'm a character making small talk in a tutorial. [press X]
I see you're not laughing at my wry joke I just made [press X]
Never mind, I've got a few more in the wings before we get round to what you want to know [press FUCKING DIE DIE DIE DIE]
Hello! I see you did that and we're now on a new stage. Luckily I've got more things to teach you! Hello! [press shotgun to mouth]
