Developments


A whole lot of yesterday seemed to vanish just as much as the day before.. I now realise, of course, why this is..
I recently started playing the iOS game "Fallout Shelter", which is a spin-off of the Fallout franchise, in which you need to build, organise and maintain a fallout shelter.
The game works a lot like Sim-Tower, and is "Free to Play", but not in a terribly horrific "F2P/IAP" style. It's fair, and it's nicely balanced. The IAPs are there if you want them, but skill is just as important, and you can happily play the game for free without being hassled by the IAP mechanic.
It's wonderfully put together, it looks great, and .. most importantly.. It's sucking all my time up!!

So that's where a WHOLE LOT of yesterday went!

I also left my PC doing backups, which are always important, and I spent some time fiddling about with a new theme for the next release of SpikeDislike3. One down... .. Loads to go!!
SpikeDislike2's final release contains (IIRC!) 25 themes, so I should at the very least be aiming for that many by the end of SD3.

Seems odd that I'm adding new things for the next release when APPLE still haven't approved the first release..
.. Grrrr.

Meanwhile, All-New ChuckABall has appeared on OUYA, so grab that if you've got one. It's nice

Daily Doodle : Oh, Globbits..



No, Platdude! Not down there!!

Mailbag

Today's mail comes from "WeirdName"

Has Platdude ever thought of undertaking an adventure in the bottom of an ocean?

Platdude doesn't have to breath, since he has no mouth. He's also quite solid, so will fall to the floor if he's not desperately swimming. Both of these suggest that, indeed, he could very well plunge to the depths of the ocean, and have a nice floaty adventure down there.

Way, way, way back in the first few JNKPlat games (circa '98~ish) Platdude's world had lots of watery levels. Unfortunately, as I expanded the JNKPlat universe and started making more logical physics-based decisions, the idea of having to deal with complicated water physics, level flooding, and other things, meant that I lazily took out the water from the game.
It's reappeared in places, but for the most part I've tried to avoid it.
Perhaps a completely-underwater adventure might help solve that little dilemma?

If you'd like to stuff my mailbag, you can do so right here, at https://bit.ly/AGAW_Mail. Send comments, questions, game ideas, thoughts and more, and they'll probably turn up here, eventually.
