Oh boy! Snake!!

Generic Snake Clone is almost complete.
A couple of tweaks, some screenshots, a bit of double-checking of a few things, then final compiles and I'll probably start doing the uploads..
It should be ready later today, but if not, assume I gave up when I had to try compiling the Mac version!!

Wooah, we're halfway there..

Generic Snake Clone is now around about 30% of what I'd like.

It's been a long long time since I did a bog standard Snake clone, and yesterday's code session reminded me of just how utterly simplistic a snake clone can be.
Today I'll be making the tail follow the player, as it currently doesn't clear out as it goes, making things much harder for the player. Once that works, I'll be adding more tail-pieces as the player eats more, and then coming up with a soundtrack that matches the presentation of the game.

With any luck, assuming I have the time to cram it all into the space of just a week, and that my programmering fingers don't fall off from all of the difficult coding that lies ahead, by next Monday you'll be able to play a fun and exciting game that I have decided to call "Generic Snake Clone".
It will be super and fun and exciting.
You will be able to eat the green dots.
Amazing gameplay lies ahead.
Please be excitementing.

Blockman returns in this super-retro dot-munching remake.

I should probably make this a regular thing, again. It's always fun to get a little back'n'forth going.

Recently, i saw a Choplifter game (Game Gear), on youtube and thought, with a bit of imagination,the rescuees looks like the platdude. So my idea is, if you like to make a Choplifter Clone or alike with platdude. At least something with Helicopter ? ^^;

I said I was going to work on a Mini Clampett sequel this morning, so I cloned the project folder and opened it up, and then went "Hey, I bet I know what's wrong with the 3DS Engine.."

With each release comes an influx of feedback from the many people who've played the games.
This week, @RSKGames takes a look at an underwater Snake clone.

This week's game will probably be based on the Action-Snake thing I attempted to add on to the Biscuit game.

Each week, as people submit comments to the various games, I'll try to keep tabs on them all and collect them into these Player Thoughts posts.
Luckily, RSKGames seems to be the only one doing it, so it's not that hard to keep track of!
Feel free to give your own feedback.
This week, RSKGames looks at (URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/2017/08/release-2017-33-rainbows-shooting-from-my-balls/">Rainbows Shooting From My Balls)..!!

A nice and simple Picross clone, because.. Why not!

Last week, I set out to make an arcade-based "Tower Defence" type of game.
Initially the plan was going smoothly. You could drag the little turrets around, plant extra turrets, and then start an "Attack".
At that point, you shot the enemies and gathered up the coins.

This week, I've been working on the game Penguin Parade.
This is a semi sequel to the game that appeared in Alpha Collexion, but in reality is more of a Lemmings clone.
Over the course of this week, I've built a sturdy engine, made a few "skills", and got a decent control method to work on gamepads.  I've animated a penguin, and got a few GUI elements in place, and .. In general.. I've made a nice solid little game. (URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/img_2251.jpeg"...

Welcome back to "proper" AGameAWeek, or at least that's the intention!
I'm going to attempt to stick to a Tuesday release schedule, and with any luck we'll get through most of the year without any crazy events getting in the way.
First game of the year, a simple repetitive little Pang clone.
