I tried a lot of languages, yesterday!

Welcome back to the land of bumping turtles from below!

This week, a lovely little platformer.

Yesterday I played with Circles and Dots.

You can (URL "https://socoder.net/uploads/1/The_Abandoned_Turrets.zip">Download The Abandoned Turrets here). (Windows EXE) Last week, I set out to make an arcade-based "Tower Defence" type of game. Initially the plan was going smoothly. You could drag the little turrets around, plant extra turrets, and then start an "Attack". At that point, you shot the enemies and gathered up the coins.

A whole lot of yesterday seemed to vanish just as much as the day before.. I now realise, of course, why this is.. I recently started playing the iOS game "Fallout Shelter", which is a spin-off of the Fallout franchise, in which you need to build, organise and maintain a fallout shelter. The game works a lot like Sim-Tower, and is "Free to Play", but not in a terribly horrific "F2P/IAP" style. It's fair, and it's nicely balanced. The IAPs are there if you want them, but skill ...

Yesterday I started playing about with all the different gameplay styles that'll make up the majority of the levels in SpikeDislike3. If you're keeping track, you'll remember that WAY WAY way way way back in (URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/GameList.php?ShowJust=221">SpikeDislike 1) (Made in 2011, still works on most/all iOS devices!) there was a nice little Challenge mode to keep you entertained. Unfortunately, it didn't have a whole lot of levels. 36 levels were more or less all...

You might've noticed odd outages and curious tweaks and changes over the course of the last week.. Last Wednesday I decided it was finally time to upgrade the server, and the switch went "mostly" smoothly. There were quirks along the way, and the Wordpress didn't enjoy the shift at all. I've spent days trying to reconstruct the AGameAWeek blog using various bits and pieces, from raw database sql, to having to redraw bits and pieces.. As well as all of that hassle, I've had to completely move everything ...

For a limited time only, a select few AGameAWeek games are 100% off, on iOS!

As I sit here trying to code this week's AGameAWeek, I'm struggling. Not because I don't know what the game's supposed to be. I actually have most of the game planned out in my head, and I think it might be fun, but something else is butting in. For some strange reason, I can't stop thinking about NeonPlat Adventures. I'd like to make "Greenie's Communication Tower", but each time I open the code, I instead find myself thinking about the complexities of Platform World Generation, and how much fun I fo...

One of the hardest things in the world of AGameAWeek is when you take time off. The past week has been chaotic at home, and things got a bit down in the realm of the real-world. As such, I opted to take the week off from AGameAWeek, mostly because my mind wasn't in the right place to be designing fun little games. The week off left me a little bored, and as is usually the case when in that mindset, I started to look back through the past few weeks and dig through the stats. One of the most depressing s...

Do you have an iOS device? Are you sick to death of seeing nothing but clones of Flappy Birds and Threes*!? Want a little more variety on your iPhing?!

You wait months for a new AGameAWeek iOS game, and then two come along at once! Apologies that these weren't posted some time last week, but they've been sat in "Waiting for Review" status for AGES!! Much, much longer than the regular "7 days" wait.

It was somewhat inevitable that we'd have to revisit the world of SpikeDislike, and since the last game was released around about a year ago, I might as well treat us all to a brand new release! <img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/complete/Spiky_Tower_20140304A_thumb.png"> <img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/complete/Spiky_Tower_20140304B_thumb.png">

This week I started on one game, but it fairly rapidly became something entirely different! What we've ended up with is a new game in the SpikeDislike family ( width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/qeUKUdBdPB8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>> Coming Tuesday : Spiky Tower!

Late last night, NeonPlat Raw appeared on the OUYA Dashboard for the very first time. This is kind of a big deal, in that it's the first time one of my games has officially been released on an actual physical home-console. True, it's not a "PROPER" console, but .. Hey, it's a box with a controller that plugs into my telly. And it's got my games on it! So, Hell yeah, It's proper enough to me!! If you have an OUYA, you can grab (URL "https://www.ouya.tv/game/NeonPlat-Raw">NeonPlat Raw) for it. It's...

Even a (URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/2012/08/home-again-home-again-jiggity-jig/">Brain Tumor) can't stop me from achieving 12 games in 2012!!! True, I'd've much preferred to have done AGameAWeek for the entire year, but.. meh.. whatever! (stupid tumor! hmpf)
