I wrote an entire game, this morning.
You know when, sometimes, all the pieces just seem to fall into place?
That happened...
It's been a long time since something came together so well..
... Tell a lie, it happened with Hoppy Bobby, a few weeks ago..
Anyway, as a result, I'll be getting to spend much of the weekend tackling RetroRaider's level structure, and control scheme.
I'll be honest. I'm not looking forward to doing the controls.
For the PC and DS editions, it'll be easy enough, but then there's the dreaded Android edition to consider.
How to get retro platforming controls on a touchscreen, especially when the game is using up so much screen space.
.. Uhoh!!
No sooner has Spinal released his last game, Don't Flip Out, that he's moving onto his next one.
Whatever it is, his Tilemap is throwing up complications.
See if you can help him. socoder.net/?topic=3575
; Meanwhile...
Spinal's also giving some thought to the possibilities of using Monkey to generate something vaguely playable on the 3DS's internal Web Browser.
... Doesn't seem likely, but Spinal does have a knack for pulling off some seriously complex shit! (See DSision, his Video player, his 3D video converter, and more!) socoder.net/?topic=3572
; ...But Also...
Spinal's looking into GooglePlay store submission.
Journey with him, as he possibly maybe attempts to get his first Android App into the GooglePlay store. socoder.net/?topic=3574
Loren Bednar continues to create random sheets full of oddly coloured sprites, and has now created a website to hold all the lovely multicoloured spritesheets. sheets.lorenbednar.com/
; Number Grabbing
Glen McNamee has made a simple little numerical platform game, where you need to grab numbers to make a total.
Would be even better if made super-complex, like a Countdown numbers game!!!.. but.. probably not exactly playable like that!! bit.ly/1aM68Tp
; Printing to an X,Y,Z
Maplin's going to be one of the first stores on the high street to offer 3D printers, starting at £700!
Bargain!! bit.ly/14XYbVe
The most evil thing in the universe is preparing to make a comeback in September, and only DNA can save us from the torment that it will bring. socoder.net/?topic=3571
; Death to All
Of course, there are worse evils in the world, and an entire topic has been created to discuss the misery caused by two of the world's worst culprits.
Join us, but be warned, there are SHOCKING photographs held within this topic. socoder.net/?topic=3569
; STFU, Jay!!
Noel, for one, will be happy to learn that I'm finally going to shut the fuck up about SpikeDislike for a short while.
I've "probably" finished SpikeDislike2, unless I decide to tackle its Challenge Mode.
I'm happy with the outcome, and although the sales have been pisspoor, I like the game that's emerged, so screw it!! That's good enough! bit.ly/19XIqAR
