As one game is abandoned, a new one is born.

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.

Having seen a good OUYA game being ruined by a horrific looking font, I figured I'd re-attempt a new font ripper tool.

A pretty much identical day!

I spent yesterday trying to balance this week's game.

Developments

As well as the current project, last night I decided to attempt a secondary project..

This game's at a crossroads.

Yesterday's doings : Additional work on this week's game, and a couple of bland looking info-pages..

James "Jayenkai" Gamble is a coder who likes to code!
Having attempted and failed at both GCSE and ALevel computing, mostly due to becoming overwhelmingly bored at their idea of computing (Punched cards, Binary and How to Use a Wordprocessor!), I inevitably gave up on the idea of "computing" as a career.
Coding is my hobby.
I enjoy the freeform nature of my hobby, and will continue with it until I become bored with it!
I create because I enjoy creating, and if anyone happens...

This week's game is starting to take shape.

Unfortunately, no game appeared..

I thought I had an idea for next week's game, but it all got fairly dull, alarmingly quickly!!

Fight for survival, as an onslaught of enemy Spikes dare to attack.
How long can you last?
