You could say I crapped out, and gave up.
I aimed for 52. I aimed for a 2nd whole year's worth of games, within a startlingly short amount of time.
..
But I probably would've managed it..

Today I did a bucket of iOS dev, but not the think I'd been doing previously.
As with a whole lot of other iOS half finished games, it seems that Microbes (MLG) will be stuck in it's special little rut until I can fathom some sort of difficulty level system that actually tries to kill the player, rather than kinda bob about a bit.
Meanwhile...

A demo!!?!?!!?!?!
With all the freeware that's on here, the years of making freeware, and the fact that I've only ever made games for the fun of making the games, it's pretty damn unthinkable that one of my games might actually be a demo!
But that's how it's going to be for this one.
I like this game.

Note : PlayMyCode is no longer available
A slight change this week.
I was planning to do AGameAWeek as usual, but was somewhat thrown off course by a request to make games, instead!

This week there shall be no AGameAWeek.

Yesterday, Rob from RetroRemakes asked if he could do a spritesheet for Spike Dislike.
After a lot of back and forth, I decided to write a how-to, so any future requests could go a little bit smoother!
Here's some info on how to make 'em, alongside a bunch of all-important rules.

I'm out of ideas.
I ran out about midway through Advent, and I think finishing that off has sapped every last ounce of ideaness out of my poor little head.
So, in order to continue to do AGameAWeek, I'm going to have to start doing things in a slightly different way.
I thought about this for a while, yesterday, and it does seem slightly plausible, if a little dumb!

You all know how to play this one!

Bounce continuously to the right, avoid the spikes, shoot at them occasionally, Super Spike Dislike!!

No normal AGameAWeek this Tuesday, but worry not, there's still some games to be played!

A game cram packed into the space of only a day!

Time to pick a new Jingle.
I'm thinking that Year 3 should be marked, slightly, by tweaking the intro jingle a little, so I've gathered together a handful, and popped them all here.

54 games. Last year I only managed about 30-odd, so I think that's pretty good going.
Sure, it might not have truely actually been A Game "Per" Week, but I did at least keep the ratio up.
If I hadn't taken the time out to build the framework, I probably would've actually achieved the target a little better
The stats show I was pretty much on top of things up until that point, but then things got slower and slower until my buffer zone was all dried up.
Anyhoo, this is a n...

Tuesday, Fred the Parachuting Flea.
Needs a few "I didn't get that!!!?" kinda tweaks, but it otherwise working nicely.. If I drop dead tomorrow, at least the game's ready for release

The plan was as follows..
A couple/more Big Remakes due to be released on the week of my 200th game
A couple of little piddly games to tide me over.
The plan is now..

Again, a bit more than 90 minutes, and again a lot like yesterday's task.
Whereas yesterday I was, for reasons unrevealed, playing with Microbes..
Today I'm playing with...

Am I still doing that 90 minute thing?!
*shrugs*
Seems to have faded out a bit. Oh well, no matter..
Today I spent about 2 hours working on this.

I'd planned to make a NeonPlat post, this morning..
But then, I've also planned to do WarioWare on Wednesdays..
.. and then there's the Music thing, which I've also decided to do on Wednesdays.

This week we're playing with Penises!
A remake of a classic test game, that never really went anywhere.
The game is only about half done, since I pretty much rushed the whole thing yesterday, but it has 10 nice levels, and should hopefully be a good start.
