rockford	Like. Lots.

therevillsgames	Great work! When can we play it?
Thu, 17 Dec 2015, 17:31
Jayenkai	Real-world rules that are obvious, like "pot a red, then any colour" are quirky to code!! I'm aiming for an early 2016 release... Might be my first game of the year, at this rate. A great start to the year!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

therevillsgames	Looking forward to it... Any thought of adding network play to it?
Sat, 19 Dec 2015, 03:25
Jayenkai	Nope!! I've tried my best to ensure that a shot on one system is identical to the same parameters on another, and that shots can be replayed and what-not, with the inevitable intention of doing something network based. But quite how to do that is beyond the limits of "crazy guy puttering about on his own".. Integrating Twitter and Facebook, in this day and age, would be the first items n the list, and frankly I wouldn't even know where to begin!!! I've made a "for 2.0" list, and online/network play is on that list. For now, you'll all just have to huddle around your not-an-Amiga to play. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

cyangames	That looks really smooth so far Jay, nice work!
Sat, 19 Dec 2015, 13:55
Jayenkai	Spent pretty much all damn day doing "Free Ball" stuff. Some pool games prefer you place your free ball behind the line. Some pool games don't mind where you put the ball. Snooker requires you put the ball within the semicircle. All of the above took absolutely bloody ages to get working!!! Couple it with the fact that none of my tables had the line, or semicircle, and you can probably imagine the amount of tweaking I've had to do, today!! Took bloody ages, so it did!!! sigh Rules begin tomorrow.. There's an alarming number of rules!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	Took a few days off, there.. First to get that Platdude Calendar working, then .. yesterday I cabbaged in front of the telly and watched the entirety of Red Dwarf X, including the 2 hour documentary!!! Ooops Anyhoo... That took most of today to get working, mostly due to the complexities of the rules of pool! And that's just 9-ball. 9-ball's the simplest bloody one to do.. God, I HATE Real-World game rules!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Wed, 30 Dec 2015, 12:11
Jayenkai	Meanwhile... Since JNKPool is an ongoing project, and AGameAWeek starts NEXT FECKING WEEK, I figured I'd better get some smaller projects up and running before I run out of time. With that in mind, today I started this... -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Wed, 30 Dec 2015, 16:40
rockford	Pang-ish?
Wed, 30 Dec 2015, 17:08
Jayenkai	Definitely not a Pang clone, honest!!
Sat, 02 Jan 2016, 07:44
Jayenkai	Just uploaded "Harpoons and Balls" to OUYA and GameStick. Will be doing the complete AGameAWeek release on either Monday night, or Tuesday morning, depending on how sleepy I am I'd rest, now, if I didn't still have 101,000 things to do.. Ugh.. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Sat, 02 Jan 2016, 08:02
steve_ancell	Excellent stuffs Jay. I remember spending many hours upon hours of playing Andrew Pointon's PANgIC.
Sat, 02 Jan 2016, 11:16
rockford	I did a one-switch version of Pang years ago. Considering it uses only one key, it was pretty good (IMHO! ). Tough as diamond coated nails, but fun.
Sat, 02 Jan 2016, 12:33
cyangames	Will bung the stick in tomorrow. I mean, the Gamestick... -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!
Sat, 02 Jan 2016, 12:35
Jayenkai	It'll probably be about a week until Gamestick release it. They might be fast at reviewing new games, but actually releasing them is another thing. Invisible Munky 2 took about a month!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Tue, 05 Jan 2016, 04:59
Jayenkai	First game released, and now I need to start number two. Annoyingly, I have about 5 games in mind, and none of them feel like they'd be doable within a week... Fuck... Quite tempted to do a new Penises game... -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Tue, 05 Jan 2016, 07:19
rockford	You did mean to type "penises" there, didn't you? It's not a predicitve text feck up? Can't wait!
Tue, 05 Jan 2016, 07:28
steve_ancell	I think I remember Penises, was that a Lemmings style game?
Tue, 05 Jan 2016, 07:53
rockford	I think I remember Penises, was that a Lemmings style game? Guide hundreds of dicks to a waiting vag?
Tue, 05 Jan 2016, 08:00
Jayenkai	"taste and decency" email was sent to PlayJam, with a reply that, although amusing, probably isn't a good idea to have blazing the frontend of the Gamestick menu. I expected that, so Penis Parade is now Penguin Parade, which requires I animate some penguins.. Yikes! Oh, and Rockford.. Yes.. That. https://jayenkai.socoder.net/GameList.php?Find=Penises -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Tue, 05 Jan 2016, 09:00
rockford	I probably wasn't around back then - I certainly can't remember it. Probably long overdue an update then
Tue, 05 Jan 2016, 11:36
steve_ancell	rockford Guide hundreds of dicks to a waiting vag That'll keep the CSA in business for a while! \|edit\| That's also how Freddy Krueger was conceived. The son of a hundred maniacs, that's a lot of nobs! \|edit\|

cyangames	Feel free to use those penguin sprites I sent over a couple years ago Jay, no worries -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!
Sat, 09 Jan 2016, 14:08
Jayenkai	Spent most of the week working on this game. (Apologies that I chose to use my own penguin sprites.. Seemed easier!!!) The engine "works". The game "works". But .. There's no fun in the game. It's bland, and dull as dishwater. I still have all of Sunday to see if I can manage to wrangle something gamey out of it, but... honestly, it's not looking good!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Tue, 12 Jan 2016, 04:21
cyangames	Those look a lot more authentic than mine do Nice penguinage! -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!
