I decided to start a Dev diary here, for all my DS Developing. I figured people would eventually stumble across it, and start reading away at all the fun coding. Either that, or they'll completely ignore these bits, and just download the Experimental stuff like they usually do. Either way, this is going to be a part dev-diary, part progress report, and part release schedule for all things DS. I currently have 4 DS Projects on the go. They are Stringy Things, JNKPlat, An Alien Breed type clone, and a G...

Nothing special this week. If you knew me at the time I did Green's Tiny Collection, then you've no doubt seen this game. <img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/shots/bouncer1.png"> I thought I'd post it, though, to remind myself of what a great idea it once was.

It was a nice graphical effect, but nothing more than that. #2 however, was a Ball Bouncing AI Racing grand prix game! Here it is, as it sits on my hard drive. Unlike last week I haven't bother...

Over the year, I've started a whole big bunch of games. Occasionally I finish a few! Here's some of the ones that involve Monkeys! A mini competition was announced over at BlitzCoder. Create a game using no more than 150 lines of code. I created a silly game featuring a spinning set of monkeys, flying through a multicoloured tunnel. You had to shoot the monkeys. This became Space Monkeys 1 <a href="https://AGameAWeek.com/shots/sm1.jpg"><img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/shots/sm1.gif"...

Platdude. A 16 pixel, 3 color character. Deftly defying the world of 3D models and amazing realism, in favour of good old fashioned gameplay. Over the years, Platdude has been in plenty of games.. Here's an approximate history of Platdude, along with Downloads where appropriate. (Or skip to the bottom for the latest stuff!)
