List of Finished, Released Games for Mobile, Console, Gameboy and PC

Super Grid Run was a notable release as it was not only my first ‘proper’ game release but has also been by far my most successful game to date, receiving awards for top review scores in 2013 on android phones, narrowly beating Plants Vz Zombies 2, Being shown at Many conventions by the lovely folk at Gamestick as well as being a featured released game for the lil Android Console. To date, this rather minimalistic, challenging Runner game has notched up over 1,250 paid downloads across platforms and well over 50k free downloads.

I’m hoping that my current game in development, for Mobile, Android Console & Gameboy Classic Series They Are Everywhere, will reach the same heights, or greater!

Ready to Gameboy Jam through Ludum Dare 34

 

Well, with Ludum Dare #34 Just around the corner, under 12 hours away as I type this out, I’ve been preparing myself to put together a Gameboy Game in Under 48 Hours, based around a theme. Which I’ll discover at 2am.

So, what am I doing to prepare for this then, huh, huh?

  1. Clear some space around me in my lil home office so I’m not being distracted by clutter.
  2. Made sure I have made a gameboy game recently,in a small amount of time, so I’m not going in to this completely blind. You can play it on your Gameboy here, it’s a tough space invader clone and didn’t take too long to make, just a bit of time to debug. GBDK is funny with variables sometimes!
  3. I Managed to write myself a handy tool to make sprite creation easier, meaning I can now use photoshop, export to PNG, run it through my tool and out pops the relevant data for both GBDK and it’s Tile editor program, I can see that saving me a bunch of time and allowing me to make more complex sprites a bit easier! I’ll pop this online at some point, just not right now though, time is pressing!
  4. Probably grab a bunch of snacks later on tonight for easy eating. Not too junky though!
  5. Most shocking of all, I’ll be getting myself a decent nights rest, so I can make sure I’m not going to burn myself out over the 2 days, I love game jams and everything that goes with them, but yeah, sleep, that’s important!

Why in the hell am I making a Gameboy Game? Why Not Use Unity. Unreal / Something else?

Haha, yeah, I’d normally be a Unity bod for any Gamejam, but, what with my recent endeavours with GBDK  and Gameboy Development I wanted to see what I can make, from scratch, in 2 days. I’m not expecting my entry to fare particularly well in comparison to other games out there, but, this is just for the joy of game jams!
