I finally seem to have settled on a name for this thing. I think it sounds vaguely like an 80s Shoot-em-up might sound, and nobody else appears to have used it.
I've spent today working on the Enemy Types, trying lots...

Enemy one is a bog standard squiggly looking alien creature.

He moves around the room any-which-way, and turns whenever he hits a wall.
He is very boring!
Hopefully I can make a few more interesting creatures, later.
For now, he simply does as you expect, and also saves his position when you exit/enter rooms, which is handy.
More to come!!

WIP : 402 - Barrels
Blog
24th January 2015
Today, I added Barrels into the mix.
I figured it best to hide the disks somewhere safe, so I put them inside barrels.
A pile of barrels will appear in each and every room, so you'll have to do a lot of blasting to try and find the three disks.

I'm also considering putting other items in the barrels, such as extra lives, weapons and even randomly spawnin...

After having played about with the maze layout a little, and getting the scrolling a little more workable, I added a little sprite for testing movement.

Since I'm spacing out my dev-time, I should hopefully have more time to do Dev-Diary type posts, as the games progress.
Hopefully, this will give you a little more insight into the sort of decision making that goes into AGameAWeek. I'll also try to take the time to add odd bits and pieces of craptastic-useless-trivia whenever I get the chance.
As frequent players will have noticed, I've been using a strange secondary numbering system for a long while. (Check out the Windows-Downloads to see them!)

I've opted to call Year 7 the "Gap" Year, in the sense that not every week will be a game... There will be frequent Gaps!
I'll be trying out the usual crazy ideas, but each game will be given a little more breathing room than I usually give them, in an effort to make games a little more substantial than they usually end up being.
The Rules are as follows..
After week one, the game should at least be playable. If it isn't, then I throw it out and start something else. No good forcing bad ideas down p...

Currently on my list of ideas, I have...
1. A kind of space shooter style platformer.
2. A redux of YBox Yahtzee from the Alpha Collexion
3. SpikeDislike3
There's also a few other ideas bubbling away, in my head.
The main problem I'm having, is getting started on any, because I know that whichever I choose to start on, will more than likely take more than a week to complete.
As such, I've kinda been sitting here all week going "well, what else could I do...?" and not actually getting ANYTHING started....

I say Failure, but it's been a sort of productive week.
The thing is, every time I open my framework, I realise there's still LOADS of stuff that I haven't started, yet.
At some point over this year, I'd like to start implementing online scoreboards, but that needs groundwork, and I haven't even begun.
.. Well, I have, actually.. I started about a week ago, but there's a LOT of things you need to do, to get it working correctly, and that means a LOT of forethinking, and planning ahead.

Sixty two!!
That's 10 more games than there are weeks in the year!
..although, that's a teensy bit of a cheat.
Technically, I've released 31 games,this year, but Future Classics is 7 games in one, and Alpha Collexion is 26 games in one, so when you add them all up, you get a nice big lovely number!!

Ok, so, I need a new archive.
It's been a good number of years since I originally created the Jayenkai Archive, and although the software's lasted through a fair number of rethemes, and a fair number of enhancements over the years, it all still pretty much has the exact same issues that it did on day one.

You may have noticed a slight lack of gaming over the past couple of months. Usually I cut down on AGameAWeek during the closing months of a year, and instead focus on a larger project, but over the course of this year I've already tackled a number of larger projects.
Blockman Worlds, JNK Bombers, Future Classics.. They've all been substantially larger than my standard weekly output.
As such, I'm actually struggling to come up with a decent "end of year project" that would be worth tackling.
