Haven’t posted here in a while. That doesn’t mean I am dead though, it just means that a) I’ve been busy, and b) I’m a terrible blogger. Recently, there’s been much more activity on my Twitter, because one doesn’t need to think too much before writing 140 characters.
Here’s a few experiments I’ve made recently:
Insects. All [...]
The new game! Play it here.
Dirk Valentine
Dirk Valentine is developed by Nitrome, so its beautiful pixel art is only to be expected. It also has a really cool steampunk setting. The gameplay is pretty fun too, with a nice mix of action and puzzles. You play as Dirk Valentine, a commando on a mission to rescue Queen Victoria. You are [...]
Here’s a wallpaper made of aliens from my generator:
Only for iMac size screens though.
Also, a random comic generator I made about a year ago: here.
And two quick and largely unsuccessful game prototypes I made a couple of days ago as a base to learn box2dFlash from:
Shopping Smash: Use arrow keys. Try to keep your shopping [...]
Uhoh, no post for weeks! I’ve been busy working on the big shooter for which the sprites, etc. below are for. Plus Dwarf Fortress.
Here is a thing I made today… began originally as just a random silly name generator, but I figured I might as well make it create a picture of the alien to [...]
I’ve just realised that the website for the new Honda Accord that I coded is online here. I can’t take credit for any of the design or for convincing Honda that letting me program their flash website is a good idea. All kudos goes to the good folks at dtdigital for everything other than making [...]
Play Iron Dukes
Iron Dukes is pretty solid as flash games go. It has a wonderfully silly steampunk setting, obviously inspired by Mike Mignola’s Amazing Screw on Head or Andy Helm’s (probably dead) Fearless Grigs. It’s a finalist for this year’s IGF, in the Best Web Game category.
Basically Iron Dukes is a simple, accessible RPG with [...]
Here’s a little game that’ll distract you for a few minutes this morning. In Samurai Movers, you use a trebuchet to load furniture into an old lady’s house. It’s got some nice (box2dFlash-powered) rigid body physics — so when you launch the table or fridge, expect it to bring the whole house down around it. [...]
They’ll destroy you in my new game! Hopefully I’ll have it done within a couple of weeks. Maybe.
Play Areas
Areas is an pretty super exercise in minimalist design. There’s no sound effects, any graphics are purely functional, no text, and a simpler input mechanism than I previously thought was possible. Only the movement of the mouse is used. No clicks. No keyboard buttons. Unlike the graphical design, the decision to only use mouse [...]
