The gameplay fits nicely into multiple screen resolutions, but what do I do about the main GUI?

After every game's release, the influx of feedback is intense! Let's see what @RSKGames thought of this week's game. @RSKGames Overview: A fun little endless side scroller with lot of jumping and endless supply of enemies.

I'm not 100% sure about those trees...

I haven't got much planned for this week's game, yet. I was first waiting to see if a Buffer Drawn Tilemap might be workable, but it seems that it's going to be a missing feature on 3DS.

Over at GBATemp, user bobdamnit suggested that it'd be better if I release my 3DS games as .CIA files, so they can be installed on the main 3DS menu instead of just the Homebrew Launcher.

After each game's release, my inbox is filled with the writings of all the people who bothered to play it. Let's see what @RSKGames thinks of this weeks game! You can Download Franken Hopper here.

Overview: In Franken Hopper you Hop and catch the flying creatures and avoid the blazing flames from the statues to the side and the fireballs from the big statue's eyes. The platforms help to climb higher to get creatures with more points(Lowest level 5 points, Mid level 2...

With the 3DS onslaught in full swing, and this week's game being delayed, what better time than to stop and pause, and think about the other myriad of things that I'd like to do..?!

Getting some really unexpected number issues that I'm fairly sure I shouldn't be having!

@RSKgames asks "Why not take the plunge into the Switch Devkit."

I tried out Flappadiddle again, today, and it was very very broken!!

Had a rather frustrating day of GameDev yesterday, as I struggled to get any further than the blue screen.

Success!!

All appears to be going OK on the 3DS front, but now I need to take the loaded image data and shift it over to video-ram. And this is where things start to break down!

Spent most of today rewriting the track converter tool.

Arrrgh!! Buffers!!

I'm trying my best to figure out a nice control scheme for this Sheepdog game, but the two main methods don't appear to be working out.

With each release comes an influx of feedback from the many people who've played the games. This week, @RSKGames takes a look at an underwater Snake clone. You can Download Slithering Waters here.

The title font design with the wavy pattern is nicely done.

I've finally found the time to add a "Latest Scores" section to the Scoreboard page. Click the upper-left "Latest Scores" button for an up to the minute list of the most recently posted scores. Simple but effective!

Yeah, the "After eating, go crazy!" stuff isn't working out. The two sections, puzzle vs arcade, are TOO different, and don't really work well together. Having it happen every single level just became repetitive, far too quickly.

Not sure where I'll be plonking this week's game, but I expect a quick upload to the server in HTML5 format will probably suffice. The basic layout is working, tile placement seems ok. There's a Cancel word button and a Enter Word button. There's also undo functionality, which will be helpful when you accidentally hit the Enter Word button!! (Something that was incredibly frustrating in my previous attempt at this sort of thing.) Next I need to go through all the different tile/wor...

The plan at 11pm was simple. If I write tomorrow's SoCoder newsletter now, then I can wake up, post it quickly, and return to the coding!

With each release, the feedback is fed back, and I like to gather any important comments and post them into an easily accessible post. This week's game is the lovely neon shooter, On a Space Shooting Trail

RSKGames

Last year I played one the NeonPlat games and marveled at the neon graphics style. This game has the same style but the way the looks is achieved seems to have matured a lot. Using the new framework some crafty blending techniques have been used to convert the simple white s...

Title by RSKGames!

I seem to be making a new Horizontal Shooter. Thus far, I've got bullets and a trail working, but I'm not sure if I'll be keeping the "Catch a bullet" mechanic of previous versions.

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

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

Awww, the lovely lovely thick snow.
