Shortly!

Deflect the beam to destroy the mushrooms.

This week's game is a good old fashioned endless runner sort of thing!

Got most of this week's game up and running, now.

Navigate the maze of spikes! Can you reach the Goal?

Defeat the swarms of aliens, and grab the Save disk from each level. It's time to revisit the Alien Deathmatch!

The Penguins are out on parade. Guide them to their happy hole, to finish each level.

Took ages making the first few proper levels of this week's game.

As part of the ongoing "New Cortex OUYA is Breaking EVERYTHING!" craziness, I once again have to trawl through my 42 game list, tweaking little things, and reuploading the games.

What'll be happening with Beta Collexion? How can I get my games on Steam? And.. Snooker?!

Another Advent game ticked off, and a whole bunch more to go. I might try to spice yesterday's game up a bit more, before release, as it's a little bland the way it is. Anyhoo, that got done, and then I spent a while playing with audio bugs on the PlayJam devices. If you have an Android device and would like to play "I wonder what happens on MY Android device?" then you can (URL "https://socoder.net/newAPK/02%20-%20Audio%20Test.apk">grab the .apk here.)

Oh dear.. I only managed about half-a-game yesterday. It started off well, but as I needed more and more art assets, I kinda got lazy, drifted off, and then started playing Words With Friends instead of drawing sprites. Whoops! That's not helping the limited schedule, much. Hopefully I can get the game finished, today, and maybe even move on to the next one.

I got my Apple TV yesterday, and it's exactly what I expected it to be. In many ways, it's exactly the same as the previous model, and will no doubt be used for most of the same things. But now it has games. Except the games have to work with that niggly little tiny touchpad, and if you play (for example) Geometry Wars 3 for about an hour (eek! That went quick!!) then you'll end up with your thumb feeling a little numb, as if you've been rubbing it on some sandpaper for the last...

"A Quick Test", I said to myself. "Should only take a few minutes", I thought. Two hours later, with no result whatsoever, I opted to call it a night, and instead focussed on Beta Collexion. What was it I wanted to test? Android, Hopefully compatible with None-OUYA devices, controller code. First, I needed to test on OUYA itself, so I grabbed the controller, hit the on button, and switched over to HDMI-2. And waited. .. and waited... .... and waited... Hmm.. Oddly, th...

First thing's first, please be aware that I'm not compiling with sales in mind. With sales/IAPs, you'll need to do all manner of extra stuff like managing purchasable items and ensuring your code handles them correctly. This might break if you have IAPs!!! Untested!!! 1. Select OUYA target, and compile. 2. Head into build_folder/android_ouya/res/drawable-xhdpi Here you'll find the regular icon, and the OUYA Dashboard icon. Replace/doodle as necessary. 3. Compile again. 4. Head into build_fo...

SpikeDislike3's been somewhat of a dead duck when it comes to sales. Just over 140 in the past 3 months is awful, even by my standards. It's odd seeing SD3 doing so badly when some of my other games (like Puzzobomb from 2011!) appear to be suddenly doing much much better. And so, inevitably, the game becomes free for a day. I'll probably leave it on free until later tonight, to give most people a chance at grabbing it. If you've an iPhing, go grab the game for free, then sp...

Suffering, yesterday, as a runny nose took control, and left me really not in the mood for doing much of anything. Hurray.. : I spent what dev-time I could manage, working on Greenie's Mini Quest/Little Adventure. For starters, I gave it it's proper original name! Always seemed silly that the game should have two titles, so I settled on Little Adventure, since that was the name in the logo. (eg, that was easier!!) Next, I tackled the level generator, making levels a little to...

NPA2 is now NPCA, as it finally finds a proper title, "NeonPlat's Cosmic Adventure". I spent about 5 or 6 hours trying out various programs desperate to find a nice way to get a properly designed logo that would curve around the edge of the planet. In the end, I did what I usually did, and opted to just do the bloomin' thing myself. Ingredients 1. (URL "https://blitzmax.com">BlitzMax) 2.
