#452 - Smooth News |
Weekly Newsletter; Smooth News#452 - Thursday 30th January, 2020groups.google.com/group/socoder-newsletter Every Thursday, Hitting your inbox like a falling handset. ; Hello WorldSince yesterday I did something that I've not done for ages. I sat with a blank coding framework, and started randomly typing stuff in, in the hopes that a game would emerge. A few hours later, and I was playing a weird Jetpac style game, but without any floors. Thrust around, shoot the oncoming enemies, and keep replenishing your energy supplies from the batteries that fall from defeated enemies. It's really turned out rather well, and will be this week's Petit Switch release, at some point later today. A nice "find", and definitely one that I'll be adding to the Browsercade collection, too. Makes me long for the days when I freeformed pretty much every game I did. I need to go back to doing that, I think. I'm repeating things far too often. It's not good for visitors to come to the site and see the exact same 10 or 20 games reiterated for the umpteenth time.. Then again, when you find a hit, there's no denying that that's exactly what the people want.. SoCoder; SpikeDislikeOh god, SpikeDislike's back.Jay's lack of imagination continues, as he oddly decides to make a full .com with just one bloody game on it. A crazy idea that he'd better not be repeating for all the games on AGameAWeek. Could you imagine the cost of that!?!
