A decade is over, and what have I done? 373 games, created a new blogging script for here, rewritten the Socoder forum, started a few new sites and more! Oh, and a brain tumour! It's been a wild and crazy decade, and over the next few days I'll be looking back at the best (and worst) games from the decade. 2010 - BlitzMax 2011 - Touch Control 2012 - The Bad Year 2013 - Monkey-X 2014 - OUYA!! 2015 - The Gap Year 2016 - Forget-V 2017 - Cuddle Me 2018 - Ringing the Changes 2019 - Overl...

"Episodes 1, 2 and 3 of Stargate Origins are now available online" said the tweet. I hurried to the Apple AppStore, downloaded the StargateCommand app, and promptly paid £19.99 for "Full Access"

Logging into the Mac, I copied the AGameAWeek Framework folders over, and tried to run a lengthy scrambled mass of "Terminal" (stop calling it Command Prompt, Jay!) commands in order to get it compiling. After about an hour or so of tweaking the command, I got the thing outputting GLFW errors, which is an improvement from what I started with!

Each week, Player's pass their thoughts on the crazy random games I make, and I go over their comments, commenting on their comments. It's a Comment-o-Rama! If you want to join in. Comment!!

Overview: Endless dungeon exploration with huge amount of monsters to kill. All the monsters have escaped from the ''The Dangerous World of Castles''(TDWOC) to inhabit the dungeons.

The simplest form of input is Keyboard input. So, today I started to look into that.

The monsters return in this crazy dungeon romper.

So far, no progress on the box. I decided to attempt to get my simple Hello World code to additionally run on Android, so I started by looking into "Android compile C++" Various sites suggested I need the Android NDK and to look at the included examples. The examples, of course, weren't bloody well included, and I had to hunt for those, too.

I really need to finish off this week's game!

Developments

The menu's now working, and the absolute basics of the world functions are in place. The game now runs about as well as it did the last time I made it!! Today will be about designing more themes and adding new obstacles, as well as hopefully adding a choon or two.

I started two things, yesterday..

HP Laptop is now completely unbootable.

InDev Codename: "Card Fighters"

Oh, sod it.. I'm not getting any further with this, so I'm going to scrap it. I will, however, be keeping a few assets for future reuse.

What was it?

A mini RPG thing. (URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/505_003.png"><img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/505_003-1024x597.png" alt="" width="750" height="437" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-6980" />

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!) Th...

This week's game is a lot like last week's game, only slightly more colourful, and with baddies that come at you!! Apologies that I wasn't more imaginative, this week!!

If you've been following AGameAWeek for the past few years, you'll have noticed the occasional blip, where I've mentioned having a repeating neck cramp, with accompanying migraines. These have gotten steadily worse, up until early March 2012, when I was curled over the toilet bowl, throwing up a worryingly black goo of sorts. Enough was enough! An ambulance was called, and after my blood pressure failed to register (too high!?) I was whizzed off to Bolton general where they continued to test...

If this week's game isn't finished by Friday night, I'm going to scrap it, and do something else.. As you can probably see, it isn't done yet. I'm currently making it a Two-Week project, but the longer I drag it out, the more it's starting to feel like Box's Romp... big.. spacious.. empty.. void... boring.. .. it really isn't feeling like it's worth doing it. damnit, I hate when projects get like that. Fingers crossed, eh!

The year is new, but the logo's old. Sod it. I love this logo! I should be doing a year-long roundup thing, but I've not had much time, what with the whole Advent and stuff. No matter, there's been some good, and plenty of bad, and that's what AGameAWeek's all about!

Top 10 of 2010

Unfinished Or, to put it another way, this game got to about 70% done, I got really stupidly bored with it, I lost interest, and I still bothered to get it to about 92%. At 92%, I gave up. Here's a game at 92%.

Somewhere along the way, I got bored with RPG. Was it the stupidly annoying menus I half-assed my way through? Was it the annoying issues with the control scheme? Was it the fact that it's a smegging RPG? Who knows. Nobody can be sure. But I'm carrying on, and it'll be vaguely playable on Tuesday. I still need to organise the baddies, and spread out the pickups and things like that, and then there's the endgame, and figuring out how to keep the game alive... but it's mostly t...

I'm just throwing random things at this game, now, to be honest. I haven't a clue what sort of game it'll end up as, but I'm pretty sure it won't be an RPG of any kind. Still, I'll keep trying, and we'll see what comes of it. Odnetnin46, This is as much of an RPG as you're gettin'!! <a href="https://AGameAWeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/BoxRompPic.png"><img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/BoxRompPic-300x225.png" alt="" title="Bo...

For something that just looks like this.. <a href="https://socoder.net/uploads/1/bmaxtesting_game.png"><img src="https://socoder.net/uploads/1/bmaxtesting_game_thumb.png"></a> .. I have actually but a heck of a lot of work into the framework, so far! Take a peek inside to find out some nice nuggets of info, and take a look at the future of AGameAWeek!! (It's a bit wordy, mind!!)

This week, Socoder's <a href="https://socoder.net/?Workshop=Challenge&Week=163">Wednesday Workshop (#163)</a> challenge was to create a game with Money in it. I initially was going to create a top-down dungeon romp, but as the plan grew and grew in scale, I scrapped it and just ended up making a nice quick platformer instead! ?? <img src="https://socoder.net/workshop/dlds/163_mr_money_grabber.gif"> Mr Money Grabber features you rushing through the level collecting all the coins...

Not as many fun little games, this time around, but weeks 61 through 90 brought about a few changes. For starters, Coders Workshop closed down in week 64, which meant the whole Wed.Workshop thing was without a home. Consequently, I spent most of this period building up the whole Socoder website.. from scratch.. in notepad.. <img src="https://socoder.net/workshop/dlds/065/cw.gif"> <img src="https://socoder.net/workshop/dlds/084/rolly.gif"> It took a while!
