No release yet, it's nearly ready, but still so far away! Not to worry, it's Platdude's month, so let's carry on. By the end of this month there'll be a PC version, and a Linux version, too. That's hopefully apparent by now. What I've not mentioned, yet, is my hopes to recreate this game onto other platforms. So let's talk about that, now.

I haven't really been updating this like I oughta be, so here's the "So Far" Day one (Tuesday 30th March 2010) Make it Big Decided to go with the "upped size" style, so set about redrawing all the old background tiles at a higher resolution. I considered making 50-odd brick tiles, and give them all a slight texture, but figured that'd kill your memory, so instead created an overlay texture that would be added to the screen once the game's done it's frame drawing....

Today I've made a start on the next JNKPlat. Everything will be sprite based, but MASSIVE compared to previous outings. Where previously they'd been 8x8 pixel tiles, this time around they're going to be 64x64 pixels. That's a 6400% size increase! (Assuming I did the maths right!) Look inside for the super high-resolution mock-shot!

August 26th 2009 That's the last time I did a Mailbag post! Blinkin' eck! Over the past 6/7 months, I've occasionally dipped into the mailbag and plucked out little snippets, but I figured it was about time I did a proper one. A few of these have already been posted, but there's a whole batch of new ideas here. Let's go!!! (There's a lot!!)

Ever since I came up with this whole MAR10 Costume idea, I've had three games in mind. 1. Ted Bob was a great game, and needed an update. By making it More Mario, I could easily add extra bits into the mix. Job done, turned out nicely. 2. "Monsters Upside Your Head" played bizarrely, but nicely! Redoing that in DK style seemed obvious, but didn't quite turn out exactly as expected. Job attempted, didn't turn out so great. 3. Munky running around with a Mario Costume on.. I'll b...

Today's updates. 1. A change of instruments 2. An accompaniment 3. More channel-specific so as to stop instrument overlap. 4. Properly integrated into Framework (the sample below is literally the test, no cut/splicing. just as is, from game start... including the JNKDitty)

Absolute chaos at the house of Jay, this week. First up, good news, that new PC I ordered MONTHS AGO (October 19th) has finally turned up.. *sigh* Annoyingly Windows 7 - 64bit refuses to work with either of the two USB->Ethernet connectors that I own, which basically means my entire network is now in a total mess. The new PC is lovely, and will do many things nicely, except that I can't access ANY of my stuff from the other PC. No coding templates, no music, no sound, not even a Platdude anywhere...

Aw, what the heck, EARLY RELEASE!! Mostly because it's 2am, I can't stop playing it, and I probably won't wake up in time to post this if I don't do it now!!! A game that took AGES to get going, but definitely got going soon after! The approximate diary was.. Tuesday : A few lines on the screen. Wednesday : A silly frog character. Thursday : Frog switched for Platdude Friday : OOoooh, It's a good Game!!!! And, boy, is it a good game. Three (or four, or five) chee...

I'm sat here at 11pm on Sunday night, trying to think of a game for Tuesday. It's not happening.. I've spent all week long adding games to the archive. That's to say, I've spent all week playing all my old games, and having a whale of a time.. I guess that has a disadvantage, being that I haven't coded jack all, all week. Oh well. We can miss one, right? Just means I need to make up for it next week. Can't have the ratio dropping!

The big-ass catalogue is now up to 68 games, and I've reached a bit of a stumbling block. If you search for (URL "https://AGameAWeek.com/GameList.php?Find=multiple+games">"multiple games"), you'll find a few games that have more than one internal game. Today I'm tweaking the engine so that it counts each of those seperately inside the nice ever growing total. I wasn't going to do that, at first, but then I came across Platdude's Retro Collection, and decided to do it. It'd be a shame to have PRC ...

It's that unexpected time, where I randomly choose to rummage through the bundles of silly game ideas, and pluck out the best/worst! Let's throw out the spam, and get started. .. FFS, there's a lot of spam! Don't ever put a blank form onto a webpage!! ... <hr> <img src="https://AGameAWeek.com/mailbag/09-aug-26/piperats.gif"> Wednesday 12th of August 2009 05:18:45 AM Name : Shitterwing Idea : what? add rats that pass through boxes and turn in...
