An unexpected bonus choon!

Four years ago, I made (URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/2012/08/home-again-home-again-jiggity-jig/">this post), all about my hospital and brain tumour gubbins. It's been a long time since then, so I guess it's time for an update...
In general, my health is about the same. Over the past few years, I've learned the sort of things that can cause me to get queasy, and am attempting to avoid such things. I've learned that over-exerting myself can cause a lot of unexpected sickness, and that if I want a s...

Defeat the swarms of aliens, and grab the Save disk from each level.
It's time to revisit the Alien Deathmatch!

People often complain that my games look "too retro", and yet, this mostly-monochrome game with a seriously shitty sprite, is getting lots of attention.
.. You can't please everybody!
Seems to be going fairly well, and is relatively popular, but the exact same issue seems to be cropping up over, and over, and over and over again..
The helicopter only ever faces Right, and the planes only ever face Left.

A lovely little flying game, this week, as you take control of a friendly little chopper, and try to save all your pals.
As you race about the landscape, you'll meet plenty of enemy aircraft, hellbent on stopping you.
Attack, Defend, and Survive!!

AppStore is a wonderful place.
For the first time, I've actually made some money out of my games!!
Well done, Apple, on creating a wonderful ecosystem for indie devs.

Ugh..
Bank Holidays.
Days when everyone around you is complaining that it's a "Boring Bank Holiday" again, and you have to play Mr Entertainer, whilst in actual fact you've just spent a whole weekend being ill, and now have a huge pile of work to do which you REALLY wouldn't mind actually getting around to doing..
Thanks everyone.

That's the last time I did a Mailbag post!
Blinkin' eck!
Over the past 6/7 months, I've occasionally dipped into the mailbag and plucked out little snippets, but I figured it was about time I did a proper one.

This week, due to popular demand, Blockman's Getting More.
As you may have read, I attempted a new art style (fweeDee!!) last week, which really didn't work out at all.
So, this week I'm aiming for the Pseudo popped-out-a-bit art style, and all seems happy in the world of Blockman.

Back to work...

Not as many fun little games, this time around, but weeks 61 through 90 brought about a few changes.
For starters, Coders Workshop closed down in week 64, which meant the whole Wed.Workshop thing was without a home. Consequently, I spent most of this period building up the whole Socoder website.. from scratch.. in notepad..

It took a while!
