Eating bugs, just for fun!

128Mb Ram.. That's what the specs on Wiki says that the 3DS should have. But all these complications I'm having.. The whole thing seems to be tripping up on pretty much anything I throw at it.

Each time I release a game, the thoughts and comments come rolling in. Let's take a peek at this week's thoughts.

RSKGames

I find Flappadiddle Doo having the smooth gameplay like its predecessor and the polish found in ''Sheep Goes Right''.

Our new server overlords have been chosen. AGameAWeek and Socoder now exist on a Kloudhost server.

I spent most of yesterday, once again, trying to get Android to work.

I started the rewrite of the controller code, last night. Digging deep, I realised I could probably reuse quite a lot of the old code, since the engine already grabs Joystick data each frame, as well as using a bunch of good-old fashioned numbers to do a lot of the legwork.

It's definitely picking up the controller..

Yesterday was full of background tasks. I added a HSV colour function, fiddled with line-thickness, got a vague "plot" working.

OK, a fair number of tweaks in the past few hours (and a nice big nap, too!) I'm now running Ubuntu32Bit, and have recompiled the Benchmark test with (hopefully!) all the important libraries Statically Linked, thus apparently making for a more compatible ".exe" You can grab the Benchmark Test here. If it runs, let me know. More importantly, if it doesn't, let me know! Thanks, again, for any and all testing.

I've already added a few "Power" features to the framework, even at this early stage.

Notebook

I've added another page from my old Notebook onto the Patreon page, for Subscribers. If you'd like to take a peek at some random GameDev notes and scrawls from about 15 years ago, that's the place to look!!

Remarkably, loading a png wasn't all that hard.

The monsters return in this crazy dungeon romper.

Also available on SoundCloud or in the Music Archive Pulpish Nautical Tower was suggested by KingRabbitCPH on YouTube a couple of weeks ago, so I thought it important to make the choon. If you've any Pulpish remixes you'd like me to attempt, let me know!!

Now available : Poke 5,n on iOS. \o/

If you're a Patreon subscriber, I've just launched a new series for Patreon's Only. I've grabbed my almost 2-decade old notepad that lies near my computer, and have taken pics of every single page.

Each week (or whenever I get aroud to releasing a game!) Players submit their thoughts. I say players, but it's pretty much just RSKGames at this point. Feel free to submit your own thoughts, and I'll add them to these posts!!

Haven't a clue what this week's game is going to be, yet.

Over the past 3 or 4 weeks, I've been slowly getting back into the swing of doing iOS games. Two releases so far, (Quadoban and Letter Lattice) and today's AGameAWeek (Bugsplodings) has just, within the past hour or so, been uploaded for Apple Review. I thought I should write a blog about why these three have been created, and also explain why I've not yet gone "FULL PROMO!!!" about the games. (Warning : Long waffling post!)
