No coding, last night, as I realised I didn't have any of my iOS Backups on the new laptop. The whole process isn't as scary as it once was, and iTunes is gradually learning to behave itself over the decade or so since I started using it. But it's still slow as crap..

I still have half the game to code. I've no logo, no audio, no icons, no screenshots. Things look rather bland and repetitive. And it's already Sunday Morning. Eeek!

Each release brings a wave of thoughts and comments. Let's have a peek at RSKGame's thoughts on this week's puzzle game. You can Download The Link Janitor here.

@RSKGames

A very relaxing puzzle game with right mixture of difficulty with 225 levels. Crikey. He's only gone and completed the entire game!!

The repointers are nearly done with the larger side wall, and will be starting on the back wall either later today, or tomorrow. The noise is still echoing through my head, and I'm still finding it extremely difficult to code. But it's nearly over. Unfortunately, game code is still coming along at a slow pace.

I didn't get an awful lot of gameplay implemented into this week's game, yesterday, but the basic bits and pieces are in the engine. I've decided another remake's in order, and am focusing on NeoPlat. Not NeonPlat, the happy neon Desktop game, but NeoPlatDS, the little Original DS game about landing on floors, or something!!

Saturday. My "week-off" is nearly over. As I look back at what I've achieved this week, I'm somewhat astounded by how little I've managed to get functioning correctly.

I spent quite a while, today, trying to come up with a nice fast tilemap technique for 3DS. On the Desktop edition, I can draw to a buffer, then draw the buffer to the screen, but due to memory limitations, that's not quite as easy to do on the 3DS. I've tackled a few different ways, already, but none of them seem to be helping in the speed department. Essentially, I'm getting about 30fps out of a screen full of 8x8 tiles, which is absolutely horrendous when you consider that I used to be...

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

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.

@RSKGames

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...

I can happily code in all kinds of weather, but when it's sunny, things start to slow down a whole bunch.

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..?!

Today has been one hell of a long haul.

After each week's release, I'm literally bombarded by player's thoughts and comments. Let's take a look at what RSKGames thinks of this week's game. You can Download Bungee Stars here.

@RSKGames

Not much was revealed about this week's game "Bungee Stars", so it was a pleasant surprise to play this fun little game.

I promised over on the GBAtemp forum that today would be the day for the first 3DS Homebrew test release, with or without working music. Unfortunately, it's without working music 39)( But it does contain biscuits, so that's ok! If you head over to the Roland Eats a Stale Biscuit page, you'll find a lovely little .3dsx download button. Mmmm..

Dive for the Stars

Whilst trying to help rearrange the shed, the past few days have been rather lacklustre in the coding department.

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

By which I mean, the controls are nice and decent, and the track is also quite nice ('ish!) but the scaling is all off.

Everything seems nice and stable with the Win/Linux/Mac framework, but it's a shame that Android and iOS aren't currently part of the journey. What better time then, to choose to take a really odd detour, and see if I can squeeze in a little extra.

Quite a busy day, yesterday. Not only did I get the game finished off and posted, I also then tackled a couple of website things that I'd not yet bothered to do.

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.

@RSKGames

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

This week's game will probably be based on the Action-Snake thing I attempted to add on to the Biscuit game.

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...

Spent yesterday making the game look and feel as good as I could, but STILL haven't added any pickups!

Our second test of Flappadiddle with various improvements and tweaks and hopefully a better all-round experience.

Yeay! Thanks to all for testing. Rychan - I see the hitbox detection has been improved somewhat also which is cool A little more forgiving, this time. The original game was a little "too" mean when it came to bird vs flame hits!
