Cardagain DS!
Blog
22nd August 2010
As promised, here's a quickly bundled together edition of Cardagain DS.
I'm not sure if folk'll play it, since nobody seems to play it, so I haven't spent a lot of time on it.
It's the absolute basics that are needed.

Step 1.
Place an indie game into a copy of your magazine.
Step 2.
TELL THE DEVELOPER!

Step 3.
Profit
In this case, Webuser failed to tell me that NeonPlat2 was in their July 15th 2010 issue.
As such, I haven't bought it.
They 100% lost a sale, because had I known I was in it, I would've damn well bought it.
I have three other copies of WebUser in my "Black box filled with magazines that my games are in"

Y2:W51 - Kee Bo Ard
Blog
16th August 2010
Kept the random title.. It'll do!
Not sure if it works better as "Kee, Bo and Ard", or just "Kee Bo Ard", but either way, here we have it!
Kee, Bo and Ard must all be guided through the maze. They have to collect all the pickups, and once they're all done, you can progress to the next level.

Ah, back to the old routine!
I had promised a new Sheriff Munky game, this week, but I think it's got the lurgy! Every time I touch it, it brings horrible memories of the past couple of week's deadness, and I can't seem to get on with the game.
So, this morning, I happily scrapped it, and started work on a completely different project.
If you've played Sensitive <a href="https://spinalcode.co.uk/">(Spinal made a nice DS one)</a> you'll recognise this game.

9th August 2010
Last Sunday I had the worst migraine I've had in ages. Ack!!
For the rest of last week I felt mostly drained, not much energy, and I haven't really done too much of anything.
This weekend I think I just plain gave up and have spent about 48 hours asleep!

5th August 2010
Authentic Kaizen ((URL "https://PixelProspector.com">pixelprospector.com), ideaman behind NeonPlat) has sent a few new game ideas. Some are short and sweet, but the most tempting one feels like it needs a little care and attention.
I feel like I want to do something with it, but am struggling to come up with a way to compress it into a week's worth of code.
I think, what I might actually do, is leave it a few weeks.
Once I hit the 52nd week of year 2, and another whole year's worth of games, I'll b...

Y2:W49 - Cardagain!
Blog
3rd August 2010
Incase you hadn't heard already, I released my first iPhing game, last Wednesday night.
This week, I'm releasing the Win/Lin/Mac testbed version of the very same game.
Think of this as a promotional item, of sorts, but also as a "Let's try new things" ideas edition.

This wasn't planned, but I'm pissing about with Cardagain again!
So, I might as well kill two birds with one stone.
I've spent a few hours rebuilding my original BlitzMax version of Cardagain, and I'm going to add a few test bits and pieces onto it (to see what does/doesn't work) before then transferring them back over to the iPhings.
Meanwhile, I can post that nice new super-hi-def Cardagain here, and you guys can all play it.
That'll be Tuesday's game, and it'll also be the thing taking up all my ti...

Cardagain iPod
Blog
29th July 2010
In true "Better late than never" style, Apple got their act together exactly 7 days after I uploaded the game.
That might be fast for a massive company like Apple, but it's a long long time in the world of AGameAWeek!
No matter, the game's up and running, and you can buy it at the AppStore for 59p! Bargain!
Now that I know I'm not breaking things, I'll be having a wee bit more fun with the iPhings, but worry not. AGAW will still be here, and I'll still be making plenty of freebie games for you.

26th July 2010
Awww..
A missed week.
They're quite rare, nowadays, but there we go.
If Apple could get their act together, I could've said "Y2:W48 : Cardagain iPod", but.. guess that's not happening any time soon.
Nearly a whole week since I submitted my game, and still no feedback at all.
SUCKS..
So, what HAVE I been doing this week?

Nuffin'!
Or, rather, I've nothing planned at all.
It's Sunday morning, I've not started a game and I have no ideas.
... or at least, nothing that can be done in the next few hours, anyway.
Maybe I will, maybe I won't, but I probably won't.
I already said the other day that I'd be taking this week off, to handle all the Highscore stuff, but that idea kinda exploded in size, in my head, and is now (probably) going to take a lot longer than planned. Stupid ideas, need to put a lock on my brain!!

20th July 2010
Looking at the stats, either everyone decided to leave when I released NeonPlat (Why?!) or folk started to get upset when I mentioned my attempts at iPhing Development.
I'm not sure which, but there's certainly been an awkward shift.
So, I'm going to split things up.
Even though my iPod Development won't be "AGameAWeek" (or at least, not for a long long while) I've still decided to call my new site AGameAWeek iDev. Because, what the heck, that's my brand now! I might as well s...

This week's game came out a whole lot better than I'd expected it to.
It's still not fantastic, but given that the game only just started to fall into place yesterday, it's not turned out so bad.

Jay's Train Game..?
Blog
19th July 2010
Still no name for the train game, so it's currently named "Jay's Train Game"! silly name!
It's a bit more gamey, now.
Some sort of cross between a proper sim-type thing, and a cheap arcade game! Odd.
Needs a few more "This is happening" type notifications, but it's all falling into place.
No idea if it'll all be done by the morning, but it's closer than it was yesterday, and it feels a lot more like I've bothered to plan it out!!!

This week I've drawn a train, and some tracks, and am currently in the midst of desperately trying to get the train to behave upon said tracks.
So far, it's a stuggle!
Trying to get each carriage to turn at the right time, trying to account for the 30-odd track pieces that I've drawn, and trying not to make it look rubbish.
..
meh, what can you do!

My super copyright infringing retro game is back!
Take one part Pitfall, one part Tomb Raider, and mix in a little Indiana Jones, and this probably wouldn't be the first thing that springs to mind.
